The 2 Miles mark is the weakest of all the men's track records. Definitely within the reach of Ingebrigtsen. Tomorrow? Let's wait and see.
There isn't a weak track record. They were all set by highly talented doped athletes.
What a stupid argumentation - the record is what it is, irrelevant who has set the mark.
Call it whatever you want, but all the other men's track WRs are stronger (maybe the exception of the 1000m, it's close between those two).
7:58.61 definitely is within the reach of J Ingebrigtsen when in top shape for the distance. Tomorrow? Let's wait and see, but I think he will break the record.
Maybe this thread or another thread today, a poster correctly stated Matt Centrowitz did a 4 x 800m with (5 to 15) minute recover, all in (1:47.xx to 1:49.xx) range not too far in advance of 2016 Summer Olympics. J Ingebrigtsen's workout is a 3000m pre-championship workout. If J Ingebrigsten races 7:59 or slower, 2 miles, he will wish he would have done (6 or 7) x 800m, all in 1:56.xx to 1:58.xx range with (90 to 120) seconds recovery.
His last training session 6x800: 2x2:00 2x1.55 and 2x1:49.5. If not too much wind; 7.56 -7.57. The last 600 will be fast.
Upon further review, didn't J Ingebrigtsen take about (5 to 15) minutes recovery after the first four? If J Ingebrigtsen would have been able to do 6 x 800m ALL with (90 to 120) seconds recovery, I would agree with you. Since he did not, NO WAY will your prediction be accurate.
As far as I know, he had a 10 min break. But the prediction is based on that and that he said he was in great shape. And also taking his general capasity and will power into account, yes this is my more or less qualified guesswork. His strategy for the race is to finish fast. And we will see to morrow.

Jakob verdensrekordforsSTODket Komfortabel flytfart
In TV2 news of Norway Jakob is followed on hist last "medium-hard" session before Paris DLHe runs a 6*800m, which he hasn't tried before. Splits are2:00, 2:001:55, 1:55Longer break1:49, 1:49Says in the story that he tried to...
Definitely he has the potential, however from his last 1500m performance I think its probably too early in the season for him .Maybe he could attempt it several weeks in future when he has consolidated his training for the season.

The record has stood for over a quarter of a century and was set by a freak in an era when there was no test for EPO. The odds are absolutely against Ingebrigtsen.
He ran 3:28.32 in an olympic final after 2 hard rounds, he ran 3:46.46, can run low 12:40s, and is olympic champion and world champion. Why does everyone doubt him he is pushing the sport continuously and we should all support him.
Getting 1400m of drafting helped.
As for the two mile, I don't think he would attempt it if he didn't think he could.
It helped lagat and ngeny in ther 1500m and mile pbs also. Probably would end up with liftime best of 3.27 and 4.45 without el g draging them the whole damn race.

really giving coaching tips to ingebrigtsen?
I give T&F analysis.
If J Ingebrigtsen races 7:56.xx or 7:57.xx then ... .

Is the 2 Miles record strong compared to the other men's track records?
He ran 3:28.32 in an olympic final after 2 hard rounds, he ran 3:46.46, can run low 12:40s, and is olympic champion and world champion. Why does everyone doubt him he is pushing the sport continuously and we should all support him.

Jakob was in front the first round and the last 100 meters. So that should make it 1.000 meters of drafting, not 1.400.
