Jakob´s interview post Lausanne indicates a fast time in Silesa

As always, only Jakobing progress and the others stagnate or merely exists.

Oh ... no I inject only once in 10 threads about Jakob.

And I don't flood threads of his rivals with downvotes.

Whaaaaat? Nordas get's lots of love :)

Katir and Girma (NR) on the upswing, but Girma is focused on steeple i'd think, and Katir maybe 5k. But yeah, unfortunately Katir is about as well liked as Makhloufi. Big PBs by Garcia and Habz.

Nuguse acknowled as huge potential, new AR and as well supported as Teare/Hocker/Kessler i'd say. Maybe similar for Hoare and Kerr.

Potato Tim, who doesn't feel for that humble talented guy, he could still medal at age 27.

Seems to me he is measuring the last lap a little better and easing off very slightly in the first 200 of the last lap. No one will go past him there as they think the way to beat him is on the last 100 or 200. That is leaving him with more for the final 200 where he picks it up slightly 200 out and then really kicks coming off the turn. Might be talking nonsense, I've not got any splits to back it up but that's what it looks like to me.

I had a similar feeling, that as a training exercise he was letting things close up on the backstraight in order to forcibly train is closing speed....or could be his legs were baked from racing and training.

I always thought Kiprop in his heyday usually just did the least possible work to win (except his 326 and 327) , why risk injury or impact your training, you get the same prize whether you win by 0.01 or 2.0.

the world record is on.

jacob has his build up and tune up to peak soon, and in the right race, that is going to be a couple of seconds faster in the 1500 at least.

this is the year and the rare shot to be at your peak, age and fitness.

track is a lousy sport in that way, the ultimate peak is a small window, you have to relax and go for it, knowing that.

you can't take for granted next year.

You show the level of Jakob fans...

Here we start

1, 2, 3, ...

Silesia is a 2 weeks

Day1 = 1 thread

Day2= 2 other threads

Day3= 3 other threads

...

Day14 = Threads comparing Jakob with Jess Owens, Michael Johnson, Usain Bolt, Rudisha

You are a Jakob Jock Sniffer (JJS). Intelligence eludes you.

You are like Ventolin lite or something. You make some sense and then you go overboard with optimistic projections. Jakob is NEVER going to break 3:26.

Silesia should have better pacers and competition with most national champs done. If you see a 3:33-4 Kenyan as second pacemaker, a 3:26-7 is on. If Sowinski is second pacer and not first it’s far less likely. Getting a fast-paced 1,000 (2:18) will be critical.

People are making threads about the current best middle distance runner?!? Not on my watch! Must be fanboys. Let's talk about centro or something.

What I object to is how stupid many of you are. Not all of you. Some of you think that if Jakob would run his first 800m faster, then he would magically be able to run faster for the remaining 700m. You have low IQs. I am not referring to all of you.

What PEDs are being used by Jakob?
