You realize that there are now AI simulations? He can practice kicking and such at race situations, either while cycling and steering, or running in VR headset. Shocks can be administered if he steps out of slipstream or into the occupied space of an AI entity. You heard this from Calfshrug first
Jakob Ingebrigtsen tell norwegian press he is aiming for breaking the 1500, mile and 5000 in the upcoming season. He is already picking the time and place for it. Can he do it?
It was pretty much clear that this was his goal last year but it was thwarted by injury. How does he know he’ll even regain the shape he had? Seems like a big ask. He should skip XC this year and probably indoors as well if he is serious anout this. I doubt his achilles holds it together unless he does.
The only way to know if it goes or not is by not trying.

when was the last time someone set 1500, Mile, and the 5000m WR in the same season? When was the last time someone even held that trifecta of records?
He's getting the hype ready for betting in Las Vegas. Once everything is in line with the heavy bets he can ease up and slow down. Just keep this on the low so the FBI and Interpol doesn't get involved.

Did the research: The only man to hold the 1500/Mile, 2000, 3000, 2 Mile, and 5000m simultaneously was Gunder Hagg. Obviousy Nurmi set these records too but he actually never held simultaneously. Sandor Iharos never broke the 2000m. Aouita never broke the Mile WR but he was 2nd AT. That’s the best I’ve seen. Anyone else get really close?
Bottom line, this would be historic from JI, I would probably bet against it. Best case scenario he sets the Mile/5000 but misses out on the 15 imo.

When was the last time someone did it after recurring Achilles injuries?

If he quits those hill intervals that give him achilles problems he has a shot.

I don’t know -one reason for doing the hills is (according to Jakob and others) that the slower pace will make you less injury prone… Would be interesting to hear some expert opinions here.

What the downvoters here don’t seem to understand is that their votes confirm your claims of a general way too positive bias towards Jakob on this forum.
Personally I think Jakob’s big mouth/optimism is interesting and exciting, but I have no problem to acknowledge that some have a good reason for pointing on a hubris, down playing of problems (injuries), and an irritating bias. As I have said many times -voices like yours are needed for a more correct balance…

Then he won't achieve his former peak fitness. So he won't have a shot.
