Gjert Ingebrigtsen is stepping down and Ingrid Ingebrigtsen quits

From watching their reality tv shows, I got the impression Gjert didn't relent on Ingrid and it was getting to her. Ingrid would write notes to let him know he was being too verbally tough and she didn't appreciate it. The boys would, on the other hand in the same scenario, just take the verbal assaults or just tell him off.

I can only assume Ingrid just needs someone else with a softer approach to coaching for her to get back to running. That could be Henrik who's been her biggest champion outside of Gjert. I think it's time for Henrik to hang it up and become a full time coach and coax Ingrid back into it. Carry on the family legacy.

Of all the speculation, this doesn't sound to far off. But who knows.

For all speculating that Gjert is stepping down etc, he is taking medical leave (that has to be issued by a doctor on the basis of some kind of medical condition) . He might step down after this, but just a fyi.

It might or it might not affect Jakob performances.

On the pure technical side, I'm pretty sure Jakob with the help of his brothers is pretty on point to not make training mistakes.

The question is whether it will affect him mentally as he has been coached by the same person since he is a little kid. Though I think he has taken some distances with Gjert in the past 2 years. So who knows, hopefully it will be a smooth transition.

I LOVE gJeert even more now, a LOT and a TON becawse he quit. I LoVE him as much as I LOVE eliZaBEth Homes witch is a hole LOT as I nearly fell off my chair.

I believe the boys don't mind Gjert. They respect his coaching and laugh about his temperament when they are together. They find it amusing, but in a respectful way.

I don't think INgred was talented enough. SHe probably won't be back. She could scrape and scrape and hope to be a journeyman level pro, but I don't believe running on the level of any of the three brothers was ever going to be in the cards.

maybe im wrong there. but im assuming she was getting a higher level of coaching than her peers running the same times and many running far better times.

Rojo how much money would it take for you to coach Jakob and Phillip remotely?

50k?

This could be your dream coaching scenario…

All I know is that looking at Jacobs legs in the article photo, I would never guess he’s a world class runner

I have heard that with Ingrid now out of the way, that Al Sal will coach them remotely. But no massaging allowed.

I think several possible scenarios

1/ Gjert has become more of a coach than a father and it has affected their relationships

2/The relationship amplified on the series shows a trumpian type relationship of a strong decisive father getting his way. Nike being Nike, wouldn't like its brand associated this way, given american narratives and liberal mindsets, probably a condition of Nike signing Jakob to an extension in Oregon recently.

A 6 month stay on that for Gjert to finish series and people wouldn't join dots - timing fits. Gjert was circumspect in the series last episode upon arrival at the home

3/ Jakobs fiance is a wedge in that relationship, she has an axe to grind with Gjert, clearly evidence in the same episode in the car otw to the airport describing who gets credit for Jakobs gold. Its not what she said, its how she said it. Telling.

4/ Gjert genuinely is sick, possibly vax related- heart condition, hence the silence to negate the appearance of blaming same for health problems

Could be a culmination of all these things , or some, or just one.

Ingrid is a sweety, a smart young lady for 14/15 years of age. Truth is, she's not that talented and was honest with herself early. Her quitting lends itself to point 4 possibly being more prevalent

tbf to Ingrid, her times seem to be comparable to Filips when he was about 17 he then made a big leap in times after. she is only 15 so maybe should wait a few years to see if she can get any better as you never know. maybe though part of her quitting was because of her dad though. if he is in bad health maybe that mental toll made her stop.

Maybe. I can also see realizing what the next 5 years will be and if your only very good but not generational deciding to call it quits.

Great question. Are they paying me? Or am I paying them?

;)

Norweigen genes give him the V02 max to power those big calves to gold

I don't understand how people on this site can so glibly rag on another human being's illness. Obviously serious he's unable to continue as coach. Wish him the best of luck and hope he recovers.

I don't expect this to affect the brothers' performances, though. Asbel Kiprop, for example, was self-coached when he dropped that 3:26. And the oldest brother appears to be easing into that role anyway.

Do you think vaccinated people do not get sick from covid?

And you call my post dumb? Imbecile

evrything turns to soap opera.... cheesus
