"5000 meters of record"

　　In the long history of athletics, the 5,000-meter track has witnessed the struggle and challenge of countless athletes, and its record represents the continuous breakthrough of human beings in this distance.

1. The glorious evolution of the men's 5000m record

　　The world record in the men's 5000m is like a bright star, constantly being rewritten, shining with the brilliance of human beings challenging the limit. As of March 2024, the men's 5,000m world record is 12:37.35, set by Ethiopia's Bekele at an international athletics event in the Netherlands. Bekele's achievements are not accidental, he was born into a family of farmers and was influenced by the famous Ethiopian track and field runner Gebreshirasiye. As early as 2001, at the age of 19, he rewrote the world junior record for the 3,000-meter run, and since then he has achieved many great results in the 5,000-meter event. Athletes like him, with their extreme endurance, excellent running skills and unwavering belief, have been able to break records time and time again in this highly competitive event.

• From a training point of view, they need to do high-intensity endurance training, such as long aerobic jogging, interval running, etc., to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular endurance. For example, Bekele's daily training program includes a lot of mountain running training, which can better simulate the complex road conditions of the race, improve leg strength and body coordination.

2. The tenacity behind the women's 5000m record

　　The women's 5,000m world record is also a testament to the greatness of female athletes. The current world record for the women's 5,000m is 14:11.15, set by Ethiopia's Dibaba in the women's 5,000m at the 2003 World Championships. Ethiopia's dominance in long-distance running is not only evident in the men's events, but also in the women's events. This is closely related to Ethiopia's climate and tradition of long-distance running.

• Take, for example, China's long-distance runner Wang Junxia, who won gold in the women's 5,000m track and field event at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. Wang Junxia's success shows that athletes from different countries are contributing to the development of the 5000m event. Although athletes from different countries have different training systems and competition environments, the goal is to move towards faster speed and better results.

　　Whether it is the men's or women's 5000m record, they embody the countless sweat and hard work of the athletes, inspiring more people to devote themselves to long-distance running, to challenge themselves, and to chase higher goals.
