Jakob may run marginally faster so he could end up with 3:27, 7:24, 12:40 but this is Jakob at his ceiling this year. Jakob may even run 26:30 but he will never be better than this year. Jakob will be a medal contender for a...

These next few weeks will be as fast as he will ever get...His fastest season. He needs to go 3000, 1500, mile, 5000. No delay. Yared and Girma can be his spoilers.

This is it folks. You have seen peak Jakob. He may maintain for a few years but you have seen the best of him. No shame in that either as he is great. He is great for the sport. But he has stopped improving. No surprise there...

No shame in that but Jakob is turning 22 in a week and I see him limited in his turnover which means he will likely not run faster at 1500m than he has. Then he will probably continue to be a sub 13 and sub 27 man who occasio...
Many pundits argue he's so young, imagine when he can run in next 10 years. Others argue he started so young, he reached his peak.The truth is often times in the middle.He's going to be 21 yo. I think from now on, he won'...
Jakob will never break the 1500m outdoor world record. Here’s why:1) the last 2 years his outdoor best has been 3:28.68 and 3:28.32 (in 2 time-trial type races, one of which being the Olympic final - the biggest race of...

Thought it would be fun to take a deep dive into the forums and see how letsrun has reacted to Jakob over time, particularly in his younger years. I've included the first ever posts on him, and any positive or negative feedba...

That's the truth. I know he has a lot of fans here , some of them are getting deluded. Today I read that with good pacing , Jakob would finish in 12:41. That's a ridiculous claim.His two core events are:1500m: He has not...
I look at Jakob and I see a fairly young runner who has essentially maxed out. He may end up running 3:28, 7:30, 12:55 and 26:55. However, I think he is fairly close to that now and I just do not see his arc of improvement yi...

Yes I'm trolling! But years ago I boldly predicted Evan Jäger would never break sub 8 after his fall in Paris, and with his recent injuries that looks to be proving accurate. He probably hates me for putting some sort of...
