After running in last place for 6 minutes and 55 seconds, Jakob Ingebrigtsen surged to the lead and ran his last km in 2:22.5 to win Heat 2 of the 3000m easily in 7:55.32 at #Apeldoorn2025. pic.twitter.com/fmtAscMKjN
there was a time when it was fun to speculate Henrik and Filip pacing jakob in a championship final, but truth be told, Filip couldn't get through 1500 meters pacing a 3k at wr pace
Filip could still get to 1500 at 3:41. But I thought he would've just been pacing Jakob for 7:30 pace and letting Jakob turn the gears whenever Filip drops out
This would’ve been so cool. I wish he’d qualified for the final :(
Bad luck! Then Jakob should run 7:30 from gun to wire! Not big deal, I would say.
He can do that for sure.
I wonder if he could solo 7:22.90 with pacelights. Obviously he's not going to try but they said that pacelights would turn on in the final if someone is on world record pace at the 1k mark. It's an interesting hypothetical. He's run 7:17 and seems to be in the shape of his life so I wouldn't say it would be impossible for him.
