JAKOB INGEBRIGTSEN MONACO 1500M TIME PREDICTION ?

As stated before on these pages Jakob could probably have run at least 4:48 in the 2000m 2 month ago if they have run for him and not primarily for the team.

4:48 in the 2000m equals 2:29 low in the 1500m.

After 2 more months of training and hopefully some tapering he should be able to go faster.

I say 3:28,50 if the pacemaking is fast and stable.

I fear Timothy will disappoint.

Remember there will be the wavelight pacing technology. Rumours are Team Ingebrigtsen asked for it being set at the ER pace...

Surely WA cannot allow wave light pacing technology for record purposes? Ridiculous if they do.

Think of all the former greats who had to rely on a pacer or themselves to set the pace they wanted! Sad indeed if this takes place.

Agreed. Fine for some exhibition race nowhere near records, but they cannot allow technological pacers and pacing mechanisms to destroy all historical comparisons. That is very unfortunate and really takes away from the experience of fans and athletes as well. Why not just watch a car circle the track at exactly 3:25.99 pace?

Except they can. And they are. Those are the rules

3:33.45

Lol. You still gotta run. FAST! It's not much different than the herd of pacers for typical time trial runs. If it was light pacing tech vs pacers, you would run faster with pacers thanks to drafting.

I am sure if Coe had used Wavelight you would find a way to justify it.

A slow tactical race.

3:31.26 isn't slow.

For J. Ingebritsen it would be.

Tim 3:31.03

Jakob 3:31.44

No, for anyone to run 1.1 seconds off their 1500m PR it would not be slow.

I can't wait for Tim to go out with the group, die the last 400m, and be accused of getting in the way of the Inges by those wanting to make excuses.

Jakob will take over at the bell and really go for a fast time. Tim likely isn't even in the shape to slow it down.

It's an interesting question how slow Tim has to go for it to be clearly Manangoi related.

3:32 'disrupted training due to lockdowns'.

3:33 'Ingebrigtsens got in the way deliberately'.

3:34 'new track surface is racist and favors European runners'.

3:35 'bad potato crop'

3:36 ??????

Considering you still use him as an excuse for Jakob not breaking 3:30 last year, I'm sure you will find a way.

I've said before, Venuste Niyongabo ran 3:29.18.

Why is he a doper and Nick Willis is not?

He gave his place in the 1500 at the Olympics to an aging teammate despite being one of the favourites in the event.

Venuste is today a member of the ‘Champions for Peace’ club, a group of 54 famous elite athletes committed to serving peace in the world through sport, created by Peace and Sport, a Monaco-based international organization

He has 1000x more credibility than you.

He might be, but then again, it's unlikely given his brief success occurred at the very height of the EPO era, and from what we know now about the extent of doping in Third World countries.

According to you 'everybody cheats if they have the opportunity'. Well he had plenty of opportunity.

That's why he is more likely to have doped than Nick Willis.

And according to you, everybody cheats if they are African.

Nick Willis is obviously clean. It's perfectly normal for a 1500m runner to have a major breakthrough at the age of 31, ten years after his first world-class performance.

What a joker you are.

3:27:83

3:31.8,

3.29.7

What does the winner get?
