See IG below. Does 10x400 at 64-62 with 60s recovery as part of a larger workout.
No doubt he’s under 4:15.
Impressive from a guy who normally runs 50 times the distance!

Holy crap!!
man his stride is long
I need to see stats to even remotely believe this. Also chances are the guy is on the juice considering his connection to the Salomon team leader who has tested positive twice in his career
Heard blueberry juice is his favorite
Walmsleyesque.
Godly range.
DOes he have the GOAT range?

What's the 'larger workout'?
I used to do 10 x 400 at 60-65, with 90s active 400 recovery as part of total 16km continuous ....was no where near 4:10 shape. As a marathoner, I once did a 2:03 800 though
Look at the IG, it's something like some hill sprints before and 200s at 30s after.
Some would say 10x400 with 60s rest is a good mile predictor workout.

Wouldn't call it a "larger workout" really, the 400s were clearly the meat of the workout:
10 x 15 sec uphill accellerations
10 x 400 in 64-62
5 x 200 in 30
1 x 100 in 15

Kilian eats Walmsley for breakfast. Even at fast races like Sierre-Zinal.
It's not super impressive taking into account he is a professional athlete and arguably one of the greatest trail racers in history. Were you expecting him to be shuffling, fat and slow or something? He could do with a weeks holiday to work on that tan though.
Last year he did 3 x 5000 with 1 km/4:00 rest in 14.58, 15.10, 15.15. 300 m of imbalance includee.
He had previously skiied, apparently the same day, 4000m total imbalance. Not sure about what this implies for his potential in the road

While that sounds impressive to us mere mortals, remember he is an ultra endurance athlete. So doing three consecutive 5Ks and skiing in a day (which is no impact and gravity does the work) are not that difficult for him
Bear in mind Kipchoge did 8 consecutive 5Ks in 14min10 pace with no rest between. Jornet's 5Ks are the equiv of a 2hr07 marathon.

He skis uphill too.
This was pretty impressive, especially considering before last year, people like Sage thought he had no potential on flat ground. Turns out he just didn't do the training for flat. Looks like he was wearing trail shoes too?
His VO2 max is in the 90s. I'm pretty sure if he had been a flat ground runner his whole life he'd have been an Olympic 10ker and marathoner. At this stage of his career it would be tough to run up to his potential on the flat because he's done years of off-road training.

Thanks , don't have IG

Maybe, but as I said, I was primarily marathon training, and only did the 800m race as a trial

Now, that's something I could not have done.
Based on that, I'm sure his 400's could be even quicker
You know what would show 4:10 fitness? If he actually ever ran 4:10.
You know what would show 2:07 marathon fitness? If he actually ever ran 2:07.
You know what would show that he is capable of being an Olympic 10,000 or Olympic marathon runner? If he ever actually made the Spanish team.
You apologizers for his lack of ANY tangible results EVER always say that he only wants to run mountain trails and has no interest in running a legitimately measured road race or track race. Well, what is he even doing on a track at all? There aren't any hills or rocks there. He doesn't seem to have any problem with running on a manicured surface when his carefully cultivated reputation isn't on the line by going up against the clock or legitimate runners. Just for fun, why doesn't he just skip the interval workout and jump in a track race or a road race? Because he is scared to death that the whole illusion would crash down. It is just as likely that this guy is a 2:30 marathoner, and a 4:50 miler.
Hey, I'm good enough to smack down LeBron in one-on-one, and I can show video of me shooting free throws to prove it. I just choose not to play in the NBA because I'm a free spirit.
No. He averaged 4:50 miles in a 3x5k workout. It is not likely he is a 4:50 miler or 2:30 marathoner.
Wow, somebody who spends his entire life running professionally is in 4:15 shape! That's only 15% slower than the world record holder!
So if an ultra runner is capable of being within 15% of the WR for a middle distance race, that would be the same as a distance runner being within 15% of the world record in the 100 or 200 meters.
So what if we learned a 5k/10k guy could run 11 flat and 22 flat? Would we be excited? It would be interesting, I suppose, but not that meaningful.
Anyway, this was just a workout. And he has presumably a ton of strength, so I wouldn't expect the same 10x400 workout to predict a mile time the same way as a miler, since a miler has less strength.
