lets see if he ever runs quality like this :

- at 18y make up 20 yards in a relay with lotta wide running on anchor on cold miserable day on total sludge with a 3'55 in his legs & clock a 46.9y !!!

- at 19y, when ill, run a 1'51 prelim then coupla hours later on same soft asphalt on hugely windy day off jog to bell with lot of wide running clock a 1'44.3 !!!

- at 20y, on brutally hot 95F day, off jog to 300, with wide running again, have a finishing drive of 2'46.6 !!! for a 3'33.1 on dirt

- at 20y, on dirt chewed up by a 10k earlier, finish a 3'38.2 with a 11.6 kick at 1200 for a final sprint of 36.5 !!!

Go away with your drivel.

Sweet times guys! I ran 4:02.59 when I was 16 in the early 2000's. I could have only dreamed of a 3:56!

I did a 4:03.15 as a sophomore in high school in the 90's. Man I was a beast!

Good work gentlemen. I ran 4:00.26 as a sophomore in the 2010s. It was cool, but there was a 16 year old running 3:56 that helped me make it into a humblebrag. Good thing he was faster than me to make it believable.

There would already be 10 3:56's and probably some 3:55's if anyone but Britain, the US, and Dream-Mile panderer Norway gave a snot about the mile distance. The Kenyans and Ethiopians would have long since put it out of Jakob's reach.

It is a has-been distance, every record is soft and meaningless, get over it. It's 8 times the length of a medieval English peasant's plowed field. Track is metric. No more miles.

I agree. USA fought a war to free USA from Brit imperial power but kept Brit imperial measurements. The French went metric in 1799 after their overthrow of imperial power.

Kind of resembles an early seventies runner (4:05er) from here in Southern California.

I know, right! Myself, I ran a 3:56.31 in the 80s...the 1880s, that is...on a wheat farm, using a string-pull mechanical timing system. I was a wee lad of 6, too.

But this, this is something else!

-21y, career basically over due to burnout

Also nowhere to be seen on the all time lists.

I reckon he could have run 3:55 or 3:54 if the pace maker didn't slow him down in the last bit there.

One reason he's so good is because his dad coach made training mistakes on his oldest brother and learned from it. Henrik was a good talent himself. Not to mention his two older brothers are world class and give him motivation.

BTW...he ran 1:52@ 14.

2 of your 3 qualities characterize just about every American tourist encountered in Europe. Exchange the hatred quip for loud and morbidly obese, and you've nailed your definition of what Europeans are exposed to regarding Americans. Living in Paris from 1990 to 2004 and Madrid from 2004-2010, I was sometimes embarrassed for my country at what I saw.

My boss lied - look up who finished in 3rd place in a state meet in Illinois in 1976. Don't be a typical troll.

Show your (10) 1500 meter mile equivalents which are better... oh wait I bet Ingebrigtsen has those beat too. Come on mannnnn.

Results of this race should be voided. There were 24 & 25 yo competing in an Under 20 race.

Coming soon to you - male pacers in female track races.

Amiright the video didn't show where Jakob had the pacer mess with him? Jakob is coming by outside on curve and in the next frame the pacer is cringing off to the outside.
