“Don’t try this at home,” sports scientist Carl Evans says introducing the segment. Strapped in with a harness just in case the pace is too much, runners try their best to keep up with Farah, who has lifetime bests over 5,000m and 10,000m of 12:53.11 and 26:46.57. For the 5,000m, his pace is a tad faster than 62 seconds per 400m.
Runners last anywhere from 5 second to a minute when the treadmill speed is set at “Mo Farah.”
