5 km running record. Running records: short, middle and long distances

Running is one of the most important types of physical training, not only useful for developing endurance, but also necessary for maintaining general physical tone. You don't have to set records, but everyone needs to stay in shape. It is not without reason that physical education remains an integral part of the educational process both at school and in other educational institutions, since physical health, strengthened by physical education students according to educational programs, is the basis for a person’s well-being and, as a consequence, successful learning and normal performance.

Running is even more important for a certain category of citizens undergoing or entering military service, including military and similar educational institutions. Passing standards for running is a matter of principle and prerequisite for admission.

The running of active employees of units of various law enforcement agencies is all the more important, and especially for those who are just applying to serve in special and special purpose units, rapid response and, in general, to join the troops of both the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. To defend the Motherland, you need not only to be strong and strong in spirit, but also to run fast, including over long distances.

Standards for running 3 km

3 km run refers to medium distances. It is taken mainly by high school students and students of higher and secondary educational institutions. The standards for running this distance are taken by men. It is also taken in the army and within the framework of general standards for the GTO. It is quite obvious that for different categories the standards will differ quite significantly. Let's consider the following categories of test takers and then analyze the standards for each of them:

Pupils of 10–11 grades.
Students.
Those entering contract service.
Active military personnel.
Intelligence officers.
Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Passing standards for the GTO.

3 km standard for schoolchildren

During the race, boys receive marks according to the following time spent covering the distance (minutes, seconds):

5: 10/11 grade - 12.40/12.20;
4: 10/11 - 13,30/13,00;
3: 10/11 - 14,30/14,00

For students, there is a grading scale similar to that for eleventh graders. It should also be noted that for different institutions of secondary, specialized secondary and higher education the standard may fluctuate slightly within +/- 20 seconds.

Those entering contract service in the Russian Armed Forces

For applicants for contract service in units of the armed forces of the Russian Federation, not related to special and special purpose units, the same assessment categories are applied as for students of 11 grades of schools and students of secondary specialized and higher education institutions, with the exception of men over 30 years of age, for whom the standard is considered to be successfully passed at covering a distance of 3 km in a time not exceeding 15 minutes 15 seconds.

For active military personnel motorized rifle units, other units and units of the regularly active army, not related to special forces, special forces and airborne troops, the standard is 14.30; for the mentioned paratroopers, as well as reconnaissance officers and fighters of other special units, the standard is 12 and a half minutes.

Intelligence officers

For FSB and FSO employees, there is a different scale for assessing the performance of a 3 km cross-country race: for officers and employees engaged in non-operational work - 12 and a half minutes, for operatives belonging to special forces - 11 minutes.

Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Police and special forces units belonging to the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs must run a 3 km cross-country course in 12 minutes, riot police and SOBR soldiers - in 11.40. Thus, those entering service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs must know how to run 3 km in 12 minutes.

TRP standards

Passing the GTO standards for boys and men is also classified depending on the age of the participants.

For participants whose fields are marked with a “+” sign, the standard is considered successfully completed upon reaching the finish line, regardless of the time spent.

World record in 3 km running and achievements

Despite the fact that middle-distance running is not considered an Olympic sport, significant attention is paid to it, and aces in their field compete in it - world famous runners. At the same time, we have to admit that the highest achievements achieved in the last century cannot be repeated by anyone.

Outdoors, the current world record holder is a Kenyan named , who ran this distance with a time of 7.20 minutes more than 10 years ago.

As for the achievements achieved in the 3 km indoor cross-country, D. Komen also reigns here, covering 3 km in 7 minutes and less than 25 seconds.

Female runners were not far behind. Native of China V. Junxia covered this distance in 8.6 minutes back in 1993.

But the achievement in 3 km indoor cross-country has recently been updated G. Dibaba, which covered this distance in 2014 in just 8 minutes and 16 and a half seconds.

It should be added that sprinting is not only an independent developed discipline, but also an important element in training in preparation for long-distance races, it is important to meet the standards in middle-distance running and when preparing for shuttle running competitions, as well as sports not directly related to running, since short distances not only develop endurance (this is their similarity with long distances), but also train speed.

For those who set the goal not to set a record, but to receive a rank, you need to strive for the following indicators. For boys, the 3rd youth category involves covering the distance in 13.20, the second and first - 12 and 11 minutes, respectively.

To obtain adult male ranks The standards are, of course, stricter. So, the 3rd adult category requires running in no more than 10 minutes 20 seconds, the second - 9.40, the first - 9 minutes exactly.

The categories of masters of sports among men are classified as follows:

candidate master of sports - 8.30 minutes;
master of sports - 8.5;
master of sports of international class - 7.52.

It is also worth noting that the above figures relate to running in open areas. To bring them into line with indoor running, you need 3 seconds for each standard.

The concept of world records in athletics means obtaining and achieving the highest results, which can be shown either by one individual athlete or by an entire team of several athletes, while the conditions must be comparable and repeatable. All world records are ratified based on the IAAF score. New records can also be set directly during IAAF world competitions in full accordance with the list of disciplines available for this sport.

The concept of the highest world achievement is also quite widespread. This achievement belongs to the category of those achievements that do not belong to the list of athletics disciplines that are on the list of athletics disciplines that are approved by the IAAF. Track and field sports that do not belong to the IAAF list include disciplines such as 50-meter running and throwing of various weights.

In all disciplines that are approved by the IAAF, records are measured in accordance with the metric system, which includes meters and seconds. The only exception to this rule is the mile run.

The first highest world achievements historically date back to the middle of the 19th century. Then an institute of professional athletes appeared in England and for the first time they began to measure the best time in a 1-mile run. Beginning in 1914 and the emergence of the IAAF, a centralized procedure for recording records was established, and a list of disciplines in which world records were registered was determined.

The 1968 Mexico City Olympics saw the first use of a fully automated timing system accurate to hundredths of a second (Jim Hines, 9.95 seconds in the 100m dash). Since 1976, the IAAF has made the use of automatic sprint timing mandatory.

The oldest world record in the athletics disciplines included in the Olympic Games program is the women's 800-meter outdoor record (1:53.28), set on July 26, 1983 by Jaromila Kratokhvilova (Czechoslovakia).

The oldest world record recorded in the disciplines included in the World Championships program is the winter record in women's shot put (22.50 m), set on February 19, 1977 by Helena Fibingerova (Czechoslovakia).

The IAAF practices the payment of bonuses for setting a world record. So, in 2007, the prize money was 50,000 USD. Organizers of commercial races can set additional prizes for breaking the world record, which attracts spectators and sponsors.

Athletics fans often debate records in vertical jumps, especially in the pole vault. In this discipline, athletes have the opportunity to add centimeters to the previous result, which is impossible in other sports. The record holder for the number of records is pole vaulter Sergei Bubka (USSR, Ukraine), who set 35 world records between 1984 and 1994.

Elena Isinbaeva, the owner of 27 world records, was the first in the world to conquer a height of 5 meters in 2005.

American Dick Fosbury won in 1968 in Mexico City, jumping in an unprecedented way (flying over the bar with his back, not his stomach); the world record in this event was broken only in 1973 by the efforts of Dwight Stones, who cleared 2 meters 30 centimeters. Then the world record was broken by the old flip-flop method only by one person - the phenomenally talented Vladimir Yashchenko. Undoubtedly, the technique of pole vaulters and throwers of all four types - hammer, shot, javelin and discus - has improved. But the technique of long and triple jumpers has improved to a lesser extent over the past 20-40 years, and that of runners - even less. For example, Michael Johnson held the 200m world record for 12 years (Usain Bolt broke his 200m world record in Beijing in 2008), and in the 400m his unbeaten achievement is now 10 years old.

On the one hand: more and more countries and athletes are becoming involved in athletics at a high level. In pre-war times, more than 80 percent of the world records in sprinting, jumping and throwing belonged to Americans. It was only in endurance running that they were surpassed by the Europeans. Moreover, the Americans themselves, some 40 years ago, believed that short-distance running was for dark-skinned people, and middle- and long-distance running was for white people. In those years, the world record for 800 meters was held by the blond New Zealander Peter Snell, and for 1500, the phenomenal record of the Australian Herb Elliott lasted 7 years until it was broken by the white American Jim Ryan.

At 5,000 and 10,000 meters, world records first passed from the British to the Russians Vladimir Kuts and Pyotr Bolotnikov, and then to the Australian Ron Clark. But now the records have been taken over by natives of Africa, where physical education and modern training methods are gradually penetrating. What is surprising: not all countries of the Black Continent produce record holders, but only a few. Moreover, in that multi-ethnic Kenya with a population of 30 million, all the famous runners, including numerous record holders and Olympic winners, represent only one Kalenjin people. There are less than 10% of the population in the country, although 70% of Kenyans live in the middle and highlands. What’s even more interesting is that most of the Kenyan record holders were born in the highland town of Eldoret with a population of 80 thousand people, or in the villages closest to it. And many of them are related to each other. As Beijing Olympic champion in the 800m sprint Wilfred Bungei told our correspondent, his cousins are world record holder Wilson Kipketer and multiple world record holder Henry Rono, distant relatives of Kepchogo Keino, Pamela Jelimo. Moroccan record holders and ex-world record holders Khalid Skah, Said Aouita and El Gerouj also come from the same small mountainous province.

The world elite of endurance running still includes young natives of Sudan. Well, our Yuri Borzakovsky, contrary to all logic, has been defeating talented natives of Africa (more precisely, some of its regions) for 10 years, who also accept citizenship of the USA, Denmark, Turkey, the Emirates, France, Sweden.

The situation is similar for sprinters. In the 100m race, the last white world record holder was German Armin Hari half a century ago. After him (plus another 30 years before him), only black Americans invariably improved the record for the fastest distance. Recently, they have been increasingly competing with dark-skinned residents of the islands near the American continent - mainly Jamaica. Usain Bolt is proof of this. He covered 100m in 9.58 seconds. This is a phenomenal result. Athletes who have won the most gold medals in Olympic history: Carl Lewis (USA) and Paavo Nurmi (Finland) - 9 gold medals.

Mentioning world running record, It’s difficult to name just one name, since all achievements are taken into account at different distances and are divided by gender.

As you know, you can run short and long distances. The point is not only in distance, but in the greater predisposition, endurance and training of the athlete. Some people are better at showing explosive speed in small races, while others can endure multi-kilometer marathon races. Also, endurance and physical performance differ between men and women. It would not be fair to put them on the same starting line, so the competitions for men and women are held separately.

The winner can hold the palm for an indefinite period until others overtake him. Moreover, he himself can beat his own outstanding result if at the next competition he shows the best results from regular training.

The most famous world record in the men's 100 meter race belongs to Usain Bolt. He repeatedly showed results unattainable by other runners. By the way, he also holds the world record for human running speed. During the period of maximum acceleration, it reached 44.71 km/h! If a person were able to run and not get tired, then Bolt would cover 1000 meters in about a minute and a half.

The 3000 meter race is not as spectacular as the sprint, but takes place mainly as a summing up of intermediate results and preparation for the championships. But this distance also has its champions. The world record in the men's 3 km run belongs to Kenyan athlete Daniel Komen. He was able to cover this distance in 7 minutes and 20.67 seconds.

Only very resilient athletes can endure marathons. To get closer to them, use in your technique.

And in our next article you can read about. Jumping is also part of the athletics block and is included in the Olympic Games.

As you know, the main Olympic motto is “faster, higher, stronger!” First uttered by the French priest Henri Didon and taken up by the founder of the modern Olympic movement, Pierre de Coubertin, it became a reflection of the main goal of all athletes in the world.

Perhaps these three words are perfectly applicable to athletics. Judge for yourself: faster - about running, higher - about jumping, stronger - about throwing (and pushing). And there is a category of people in this sport that corresponds to this motto to the maximum. We are talking about world record holders. And although the IAAF may deprive some of them of this status (), their names are forever inscribed in history.

On the eve of the World Championships in London, XSPORT decided to recall the most famous world records in athletics. Since it is not possible to talk about everyone due to the huge number of disciplines in the “queen of sports,” we decided to highlight the record breaking records, so we created several nominations. The only note is that our competition program included achievements only in those events that are included in the program of the Olympic Games and World Cups (in London, for the first time in the history of the World Championships, a 50 km walking competition among women will be held, so we are also considering this record).

YOUNGEST RECORD

Anita Wlodarczyk

Here our prize goes to the Polish hammer thrower Anita Wlodarczyk. In total, she broke the world record 6 times, and her last achievement dates back to August 28, 2016. A week after the closing of the Olympic Games in Rio, at which the athlete, by the way, also Wlodarczyk in her native Warsaw at the Kamila Skolimowska Memorial. The Polish woman remains the only girl who managed to clear the 80-meter mark. And what’s most interesting is that at the same Games in Rio, her result was 4 meters further than that of Dilshod Nazarov, the Olympic champion among men.

The youngest also had every chance of becoming a record Ruth Jebet. On August 27, at the Diamond League stage in Paris, an athlete from Bahrain surpassed the achievement of Gulnara Galkina in steeplechase. However, just two days later, Wlodarczyk set her next record. At the World Championships in London, Jebet has a chance to get even with Anita, since her final will be 4 days later.

OLDEST RECORD

Jarmila Kratokhvilova (in first position)

Jarmila Kratokhvilova reached the peak of her career only at the age of 32. An athlete from the now defunct country of Czechoslovakia remained for a long time in the shadow of her rivals from the GDR at her favorite distance of 400 meters. In 1983, she came to a tournament in Munich, where she entered the 800-meter race. Jarmila ran two laps around the stadium in a record 1:53:28.

Two weeks later, Kratokhvilova competed at the first ever World Athletics Championships, which was hosted by Helsinki. In Finland, the Czech, despite an incredibly busy schedule, won gold in both the 400-meter and 800-meter events. Moreover, in the first event she again broke the world record, becoming the first athlete to run under 48 seconds (47.99). And although Marita Koch surpassed that achievement two years later (47.60 seconds), the 800-meter record has not been surpassed by anyone for 34 years, making it the longest standing.

FASTEST RECORD

Usain Bolt

At the 2009 World Championships in Berlin Usain Bolt ran the 100-meter dash in 9.58 seconds. The very next day, experts published data on the speed that Lightning developed. He covered the 60-80 meter section in 1.61 seconds, accelerating in this segment to 44.72 km/h. No one has ever run faster.

SLOWEST RECORD

Ines Enriquez (foreground)

As we have already said, the women's 50 km walk will make its debut at the world championships. This view will be the longest in London. Judge for yourself - the world record for a distance that approximately corresponds to the length of Kyiv from north to south is 4 hours 08 minutes 26 seconds. Its author is Ines Enriquez from Portugal. She established her achievement in the village of Porto de Mos in her homeland. Its average speed was 12 km/h.

HIGHEST RECORD

Sergey Bubka and Renaud Lavillenie

Since we agreed to consider only Olympic disciplines, our championship in this nomination goes to Sergey Bubka. Exactly 23 years ago, in the Italian highlands, a Ukrainian set his last world record in the pole vault - 6 m 14 cm. A year earlier in Donetsk, the Olympic champion of Seoul cleared the bar at a height of 6 m 15 cm. However, the Pole Stars tournament, which, as is known , always took place at the Druzhba Sports Palace, that is, indoors, but at the Games and World Championships they compete outdoors.

Bubka's Donetsk record was broken in 2014 Renault Lavillenie. At the same “Pole Stars” tournament and in front of Sergei Nazarovich himself, the Frenchman conquered 6.16 m. But let’s make a reservation once again, it was indoors. But Lavillenie’s personal best in stadiums is only 6.05 m.

Well, one last thing about this nomination. In 1991, Bubka won the last world championship gold as part of the USSR national team (the athlete won the world championships for Ukraine three more times). In Tokyo, he won with a modest result of 5.95 m. But thanks to computers, it was possible to establish that in his winning attempt he jumped with such a margin that he would have conquered the bar at a height of 6.37 m.

LONGEST RECORD

Uwe Hohn and Jan Zelezny

Here we immediately need to tell the background story. In the mid-1980s, the IAAF had to redesign the men's javelin. The center of gravity was shifted forward, causing the projectile to descend earlier than the older version with a center of gravity in the middle. The culprit of such changes was Uwe Hohn. In 1984, an athlete from the GDR threw the javelin 104.80 m, just two meters from the edge of the field. Such long-distance attempts endangered the safety of other athletes who were on the treadmill.

The projectile was changed, but several years passed, and the IAAF again began to think about the safety of this discipline. On May 25, 1996, at a competition in the German city of Jena, an outstanding Czech Jan Zelezny threw the javelin at 98.48 m. It is this achievement that is listed as the official world record, however, with the note “according to the new rules.” The farthest is Uwe Hohn's attempt at 104.80 meters.

THE MOST SENSATIONAL RECORD

This is certainly the most subjective nomination in our ranking. And the championship here goes to the record set at the Olympic Games in Rio. The men's 400m final had no clear favorite. Before the start Kirani James, Lashawn Merritt And Weide van Niekerk were equally considered as contenders for gold. However, what the latter did became a real sensation. The South African produced a phenomenal run that lasted 17 years. Moreover, van Niekerk immediately took 15 hundredths from the result of the famous American. And in general, he almost ran out of 43 seconds - the chronometers recorded a result of 43.03 seconds.

Vaide is generally a unique athlete. He is the only athlete in history to run under 10 seconds in the 100m (9.98 seconds), under 20 seconds in the 200m (19.84 seconds) and under 44 seconds in the 400m. It’s funny that the athlete himself doesn’t really like the last distance. He once stated that...

Weide van Niekerk in front of his achievement

THE MOST AFFECTING RECORD

Kendra Harrison failed to qualify for the 2016 Olympics in Rio in the 100m hurdles. At the national qualifying tournament in the USA, the American showed only the fourth result. There were only three trips to Brazil. This was a real blow for the athlete. She was able to take out all her anger at the Diamond League stage in London, which took place a month before the 2016 Games. Harrison not only outperformed her teammates, but also. Kendra covered the distance in 12.20 seconds. But I still didn’t go to Brazil.

THE MOST TRAGIC RECORD

It's not often that world records are set at small local tournaments. But the achievement of the American Florence Griffith-Joyner just one of those. On one July day in 1988, at the Olympic qualifying competitions held in Indianapolis, she ran 100 meters in 10.49 seconds and broke the world record. And she did it at the 1/4 final stage. On the same day, but a little earlier, Florence covered the same distance in 10.60 seconds. But that time, which at that time was the fastest in history, was not counted as a record due to a strong tailwind. Interestingly, already in the quarterfinals, Griffith-Joyner was running in almost still air.

At the 1988 Games in Seoul, for which the athlete successfully qualified, she won three gold medals - in the 100-meter, 200-meter and 4x100-meter relay. Moreover, she covered 200 meters with a world record, which also holds to this day (21.34 seconds).

What made Griffith-Joyner's achievements tragic was her subsequent fate. Already in 1989, the athlete left professional sports at the peak of her fame. Even before this event, many colleagues and experts said that Florence was taking doping, and after the sudden end of her career, these conversations became more frequent. In 1990, the athlete began to have health problems and suffered heart attacks. Griffith-Joyner's sudden death at age 38 only added to the suspicion. However, her name is still on the list of world record holders. Moreover, in those sports that are considered elite in athletics.

RECORD BREAKER

Another nomination in which the palm goes to Sergey Bubka. The Ukrainian pole vaulter became the first to clear the 6-meter bar. In total, the current NOC president has broken world records 35 times. And of course you can complain that each time he added one centimeter to the previous achievement. But just think about this number. For comparison, Elena Isinbaeva, who also pole vaulted, stopped at 20 world records.

OUR RECORD BREAKERS

Sergey Bubka, Inessa Kravets, Yuri Sedykh

Another nomination for Sergei Bubka. But here he must share the prize with two more colleagues. We talked a lot about the achievement of a pole vaulter above, but about Inessa Kravets haven't spoken yet. The athlete, born in Dnepr, specialized in the triple jump - the event that brought our country three Olympic awards (1 gold and 2 bronze). Kravets set her world record at the World Championships in Gothenburg in 1995. In the third attempt of the final, she landed at 15.50 meters with a tailwind of 0.9 m/s. A year later, Inessa became the first woman to win Olympic gold in the triple jump.

Partly ours can be considered Yuri Sedykh. A native of the city of Novocherkassk, Rostov region, he is a graduate of the Kyiv hammer throwing school. In 1986, at the European Championships, he sent the projectile to 86.74 m, and since then no one has surpassed the achievement of the two-time world champion.

BONUS RECORD

Here we just want to tell a beautiful story associated with the name Bob Beamon. His record in the long jump ceased to be relevant in 1991. However, at the Olympic Games in Mexico City in 1968, he shocked the whole world. The American took a run and landed at 8.90 meters (Mike Powell's current highest achievement is only 5 cm further). He broke the previous world record by as much as 55 cm. Lynn Davis, who was defending his Olympic title, approached Beamon and said: “You have destroyed this discipline.”

Bob Beamon at the Mexico City Olympics

When the stadium announcer announced the numbers, the culprit himself fell to his knees, covered his face with his hands and could not get up without help. It is interesting that the automatic range meters that existed at that time were not designed for such a result, and the distance had to be measured manually. After that event, a new adjective beamonesque appeared in the English language, which means some unthinkable feat.

Scientists have found explanations for Beamon's record. Firstly, the competition took place at a significant altitude above sea level, which, due to the characteristics of the air, contributed to long jumps. After that, elite level tournaments were not held at such a high level. Secondly, Bob was helped by a strong tailwind, and its strength was the maximum permissible - about 2 m/s. Well, after the American’s jump there was a heavy downpour, which created not the most favorable conditions for the rest of the participants. However, all these factors do not make Binom’s record any less legendary.

In recent years, breaking world records has become commonplace. For example, in 2016 this was done five times. Often the highest achievements are celebrated at major tournaments. At the Olympic Games of different years, nine current world records were set, and at the World Championships - eight. Therefore, at the upcoming World Cup in London, we may well see the WR mark next to some result. Moreover, 13 world record holders will perform in London.

Current record holders who will compete at the 2017 World Championships:
