I'm assuming your in close contact with his doctor and his recovery schedule?
Stay in your lane and STFU!
Typical as in his typical pattern of behavior. What's wrong, does the harsh truth hurt your delicate feelings? Too bad.
Again! How do you know what his "typical pattern of behavior" is? I see a world class global medalist and world record holder who has been performing at the highest level of running for a lot of years. In order for him to compete at this level he needs to train as HARD as possible, YEAR IN and YEAR OUT. There's a lot of risk management involved, and LUCK. No surprise that eventually something is going to give, as the saying goes "Pushing the Envelope", which is defined as "To surpass normal limits or attempt something viewed as radical or risky".
Clearly, this is foreign to you, as I'm certain you've never experienced "Pushing the Envelope".
Maybe you can share your "harsh truth" training logs and or elite level racing success with us. I'd be happy to share my "delicate" training logs and "delicate" racing success if you'd like. Friendly advice: Know your sh^t before opening your mouth.

I spelled it out in my first post. The typical behavior of rushing his recovery and pushing too hard. Is that too difficult for you to understand?
Did we not all see him rush to make it back for the WC in Tokyo last year? Then foolishly attempt to DOUBLE in his first action back on the track? You don't have to be an elite runner to know how foolish that was.
Typical Jakob. Rushing his recovery and pushing too hard. He never learns his lesson.
He'll stick around Palo Alto to continue to get ESWT and EMTT by his surgeon to reduce inflammation and speed healing after surgery. He's being supervised by the most experience foot and ankle specialist in the world for runners. This isn't rushing anything. He had a relatively minor surgery. I wouldn't be surprised to see he running on an Alter G or other anti-gravity treadmill within a month.
People who follow professional cycling will know that it’s very common for athletes to be on a stationary bike within days of surgery, including on lower extremities.
Wout Van Aert snapped a bone in his ankle, had surgery, and was rolling on a stationary bike in a week. Runners are afraid of returning to activity too quickly, but that fear stems from their experience with running. This kind of cross training is completely fine.
