J Ingebrigtsen had everything Hicham el G had, a competitor racing him all the way down the homestretch. What will J I do now? 1) He will continue to avoid the other 10 sub:12:50 5000m men in paced 5000m races. 2) He will increase his mileage! won't help). 3) Triple thresholds? Won't help. 4) More (6 or 7) x 800m at 3000m race pace. Won't make him a faster 1500m man. 5) I hope 11 year olds & 12 year old reading Let'srun ignore the majority of you old slow horses. J Is training is flawed.

The only thing that can stop Jakob from pretty much all these records is if he stagnates. Dont forget he is 22...
This is why Jakob will NEVER get a world record from one mile and below. He does not have the requisite turnover. Oh well. Everyone has weaknesses.
just shut your mouth will you
Maybe to elaborate slightly for the obtuse posters such as yourself. IF Jakob could run a little faster at 400m, he could break the mile record. But he cannot and the main reason he can even extend his limited speed is his sophisticated training and doping regimen. He is a very impressive runner but his limitations are there for the intelligent to witness. He is so close and yet so far. He won’t get there. But his stamina is amazing.
J Ingebrigtsen will dazzle Let'srun Clydesdales with his 1500m, 2000m, 3000m and 2 mile TTs.
J Ingebrigtsen will remain vulnerable, international 1500m championships.
J I will avoid top ten 5000m men in races with pace light and human pacers.
Show your Norwegian passport. You J I fans are over the top. Btw., I have a 20-something cousin who competes, Olympics & W.C.s You will never guess because I am coldly analytical. I don't play favorites.
Clowns saying he can't get the mile world record. Missed it by two strides and he didn't look particularly great. Third lap was meh and I thought he could have pushed with 300m to go a little bit more.
Jakob will get the mile, 3000m and 5000m world records. The 1500m world record will be the real test. I could see him needing the perfect day and little bit of luck to get the 1500m world record.
