Ingebrigtsen talks after running 3:26 in Monaco: "I think anyone who runs 3.29 or faster can win the Olympics."

LOL! THIS IS THE SAME GUY THAT SAID MONTHS AGO THAT JAKOB WOULD NEVER PB AGAIN BECAUSE OF HIS ACHILLES INJURY, ACT OF HAVING A BABY, AND EXPOSURE TO BLUETOOTH TECHNOLOGIES. WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT, JAKOB PBED in 3:26. Khamis is desperately looking for answers!!!!

Khamis is an absolute troll and I don’t know why he hasn’t been banned yet.

I'm with your my man dear Armstrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We both know what's going on and about!!!!

Jakob isn't any lock for the Paris 1500m gold, very far from it in fact. Compared to El G in Rome 1998 who wore insanely thick and fat and rigid shoes yet closed aeons and light years ahead (53.2s) of Jakob who wore space aged rocket carbon shoes and only closed in 54.5-54.7, how can I Khamis the RF King have any REAL SERIOUS RESPECT for a baby like Jakob???????

El G IS THE MAN, a GROWN MAN, while Jakob can't be compared as he is merely a little baby boy!!!!!!! 1.5s different in closing speed in vastly different shoes is, safe to say, OBSCENE!!!!!!!!! It's not even in the same conversation, it's heaven and hell, light and dark, hot and cold, north and south, east and west!!!!!!!!!

I'm trying to put it in context for all LRCers as I'm the world's most punctilious most obsessive most scrupulous when it comes to semantics, logic, reason and persuasion. My level of discernment is that much more microscopic!!!

Look, what's with the caps this time when you are replying to me???? I thought you were my ally and you had agreed with me or at least been sitting on the fence that Jakob is washed up after losing some testosterone to produce a baby, gotten an Achilles injury, and bought a stupid new coros RF emitting watch.

So yes, if you want me to give you an answer, then I will tell you I didn't make it a foregone conclusion of Jakob not PBing ever again. I mentioned that he is just not very likely to PB again that's all.

Do you have a problem with that statement of mine???? I'm a fan of Jakob and you know that right?????

Spot on sir, Josh Kerr's Pre mile is at least 3:28 but can be slightly faster in 3:27 too, there would be a range for sure!!!!!

And do remember, if you rewind again and again Josh Kerr's sprint mechanics you will see it's more biomechanically synchronous with the rate of freefall of gravity, meaning IT HAS MORE RESONANT POWER, MORE RESONANT ENERGY, MORE RESONANT LIFT, MORE RESONANT BUOYANCY, MORE RESONANT DRIVING FORCE, albeit only SLIGHTLY OR MICROSCOPICALLY SLIGHTLY than Jakob's one, you feeling me sir?????? Slightly is a significant event in space-time in the world of electricity and electromagnetic fields, so dun underestimated 'slightly'. It's all quantum physics duh!!!!!

I'm passionate about this topic----gravitational biomechanics, a branch of biomechanics that examines repetitively and obsessively through expert eye or visual inspection or otherwise the simultaneity (synchronicity) of the human nervous system and gravitational acceleration of freefall in physics.

I do like to warn you that your support for Cole Hocker is dangerous because this is not a reliable character and morality/ethics. I suggest you support Jakob or Josh or Nuguse instead, 3 real clean athletes these days.

If you support Jakob, just a word of advice for you: Jakob has not demonstrated in recent 1-2 years a time for 800m faster than 1:46 at least, and secondly has not demonstrated in the same time period a closing 200m of at least 25.5s on the watch.

If you support Josh, just a word of advice for you: Josh has not demonstrated in recent 1-2 years a PB faster than Jakob in both the mile and 1500m although that's not a really important consideration these days. Josh is not a do-it-all type like El G who can dominate outright from the gun in a fast paced race, and simultaneously sit and kick all fast and slow races.

If you support Nuguse, just a word of advice for you: Nuguse has demonstrated faster final 200m closing speed than Jakob at any event from 800m-5000m but still has a gapping difference in PB at 1500m compared to Jakob. It seems Nuguse 3:43 mile last year is the oddity rather than the norm. Nuguse also has very unreliable sprint mechanics compared to first Jakob then finally to Josh who has the best sprint mechanics of the 3.

You really have no idea who Cole H is do you?????? I'm just not taking this guy at face value from today onwards, no and never!!! I don't trust him period!

Nothing wrong with making Jakob a good role model if he is really one. I don't think Rojo's obsession with Jakob is any problem since Jakob is currently running clean, consistent and sensible performances in space-time, nothing out of turn, very sudden, seismic or messianic like Cole H and Grant F whom nobody should trust anymore!

I myself have always reiterated my undying love for Jakob the boy and now Jakob the married grown man. I would like to have done things a little differently than Jakob such as not getting married and producing a baby, not buying a Coros watch and not getting an Achilles Injury so that he had a higher chance to win Olympic 1500m gold in Paris.

I'm very fair but crucially exceptionally observant and perceptive which might seem to affect my 'fairness' a bit. I don't side with nobody even if it seems I sound like it but if you follow my channel more you will know me better.

Correct my man!!!!

And Josh Kerr has shown that he has gained new endurance to sustain a harder effort from 700m-1300m, right???? He can now stick closer to Jakob and draft behind him if needed. While as for Jakob so what if he can sustain a stronger effort from 700m-1300m if his No.1 competitor Josh Kerr can also do that to relative extent and still get advantage of draft behind his slipstream????

With Jakob's type of sprint mechanics, he is highly unlikely to outsprint Kerr in the final lap and final 200m. Jakob's sprint mechanics relies too much on high turnover and high stride cadence whereas I feel that Josh Kerr's is more balanced with high enough turnover balanced with big enough stride length.

Josh has thunder thighs and hamstrings, very huge and powerful for a 1500m/mile athlete while Jakob is more modest in this respect.

If Josh and Jakob gets into the boxer ring, Josh wins outright and that has some effect for middle distance high performance racing!!!! Remember Mo Farah getting into boxing training by the figure of my disdain Alberto Salazer? You need boxing type power to outsprint in the 1500m final!!!

Kerr´s Bowerman mile 2024 time 3:45.34 converts to a 3:28.65 in the 1500m.

But as stated by other posters on other threads Kerr was possibly at least in high 3:27 shape in Eugene. If somebody else (who could that be?) had been doing the frontrunning he could have gone sub 3:28.

So if Kerr brings his Bowerman mile shape to Paris and Jakob his DL Monaco 1500m shape there is possibly around 1 second between them.

By the way: Jakob´s 3:26.73 gives 1292 IAAF ranking points. El-G got the same number for his mile WR.

1 second difference not gonna work sir. So what big deal?????

There will be crucially 3 rounds of the 1500m within 4 days duh!!!!!!

A one-off 3:26 performance ain't worth a dime sir!!!!!!!! Unless you are telling me Jakob runs 3:26 today, tomorrow and 2 days after tomorrow?????

Josh Kerr and Danny Mackey already mentioned it last week in the article, THE ROUNDS OF THE 1500M adds up and makes all the difference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going through call rooms, warmup tracks again and again and again 3 times to be exact and looking at all the competitors face to face all adds up duh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on you gotta be more discerning than '1 second difference'!!!!

Kerr won because Jakob was around 1.5 seconds from his season best (2.5 seconds from his time in Silesia but I am factoring in that he had to front run longer than in the paced DL races; even though the pacemaking was not perfect in Silesia).

But otherwise: Of course Kerr won fair and square. It is not his problem that other competitors underperform what ever the reason may be.

Disagree, sick or not sick, it's all part of universal law of physics. You feeling me sir????

There can be a million and one excuses in the world and they all STILL (BY GOD'S PURVIEW!!!!!) are incorporated as part of physics laws so in a sense the excuses are normalized or sanitized AND NOT EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jakob would have to win the 1500m in Budapest while sick, and you need to accept that sir!!!!!!!!!!!!

The laws of physics of the universe DEMANDS you accept it!!! It's not about you, it's about Physics (from God hence God!!!!).

Cheers

Your RF Champion!

wasn't Jakob's final 400 in 54.0 yesterday?

or are the official numbers wrong?

Ingebrigtsen runs European 1500m record in Monaco - AW

Norwegian clocks 3:26.73 as British 800m man Ben Pattison runs 1:42.27 and Rai Benjamin wins the big 400m hurdles showdown at the Diamond League

Open link

it's 54.06, not good enough in my opinion. Jakob's shoes are way too good for merely closing 54.06 in a slower (than El G's WR and other 3:26 races) 3:26:74 Monaco performance.

El G had ran a bunch of other 3:26:xx races and close at or around 54.06 as well.

Of course the rounds can make a difference. But if you have followed the sport closer you would know that Jakob due to his superior endurance probably "survives" the rounds better than runners with less aerobic strength. Perhaps Jakob will even use the rounds as sharpeners.

But the thing is we don't know how fast the rounds are supposed to be run in right???

If the rounds are run in 3:42, 3:36, 3:28, that's vastly different or less aerobically susceptible than 3:29, 3:28, 3:26 right sir?????

At slower speeds, difference in aerobic endurance matters lesser and lesser. Only at higher speeds do they even matter at all. Jakob isn't going to front run 3:29 and 3:28 for the first 2 rounds for sure!!!

El G in another 3:26:14 race in Brussels Golden League 1500m closing still faster than Jakob's 54.06. He ran 53.64 in the final 400m in fatter, heavier and less pliant shoes. Also look at the way El G OPENS UP his stride compared to Jakob. Jakob can't extend his stride when sprinting compared to Josh who opens up more like El G. And that is a handicap for Jakob.

Stride length is more susceptible for sprinting ability than stride cadence/frequency although there should exist an optimum balance. Jakob's is not as balanced as El G or Josh kerr's!!!

I will save this post for when Jakob wins the olympic 1500m final. SAVE THIS POST! We will see how well your Laws of physics does!
