You have posted some interested inside info on the Ingebrigtsens in the past.
Years ago, you posted a series of workouts that you said that Jakob did before Monaco. They were extremely specific and the paces all seemed plausible and consistent with the training style, but the training was quite different from the previously published articles about Henrik, Filip, and Jakob's in-competition training pre-2019. When the Coros data came out this year, the training zone data matched exactly the kind of the training that you had posted, but not the training from the previously published articles. For me that gave credibility that what you posted was likely to be accurate.
Do you happen to have more data like that, and do you happen to know if their in-competition training still resembles the training that you posted a few years ago?
Jakob is an aerobic monster with little talent in his anaerobic capabilities(raw speed).
this is just so wrong how can people really even think this?
jakob is one of the fastest ever at 1500, WR holder at 3000, 5000 olympic champ in a negative-split race where anaerobic capacity/power played a critical role
a general rule of thumb (that some on LR will endlessly debate the semantics) is one needs at least 3.5 minutes to drain their anaerobic tank, meaning the 1500 is the shortest race in which one's anaerobic capacity must be on full display and being the shortest race also means it matters the most
jakob can not be the best middle distance runner alive while also having little talent anaerobically. those two things can not be true at the same time.
A guy that is simultaneously in 3:27 and 57:00 shape, could scorch the 5 and 10 records. Maybe to the tune of 12:25 and 25:50.
The point is he is not. Sunday will prove as much. If he breaks 59:00 it will be a solid day out for him.
I don't doubt his ability but I think he would need a period of time training for the roads.
it's a waste of breath talking to fanboys. They're all too attached to their cult leader and see him as a superman when in reality he just got demolished in the biggest race of every four year. There's no chance in hell Ingy is gonna break the WR or winning on Sunday. He's not even breaking 58 FFS.

He ran a 12 secs 100m as a 12-yo who trained like a distance runner. His anaerobic talent/capabilities may not be otherworldly compared to guys like Coe or Ovett, but it can't be "little". Hell, no one is gonna run 3:26 with little anaerobic capabilities.

But his Dad said Jakob "has no speed" and Jakob said the 1500 is his "worst event," so.....
obviously with that type of aerobic ability [ Imagine running 3:26 with no speed, and when it is your worst event!!!] He can break 2:00 in the marathon when he pleases. Maybe after running sub 57 on Sunday, he'll rest for a minute, and then run another sub sixty to set a new marathon record of 1:58?!!

I mean, I wouldn't rule it out, but the proof is in the doing. It just seems a little strange that he's skipping any serious attempt to go for the 5000 record this year, which would seem like the next logical step, in order to go straight for the half marathon.

I should probably know better than to doubt Jakob but he'll get dropped hard if he tries to run that pace (and I don't think Kiplimo runs 57:00 either)
