Gjert Ingebrigtsen is stepping down and Ingrid Ingebrigtsen quits

Seems like the training program is fairly simple. Just need someone to oversee sessions and give them permission to pull the plug on workouts though. Hard to be objective about that when it’s your own workout.

Always interesting what people do and do not divulge personally. I tend to think it’s a condition of a more personal nature than cancer when kept hush hush.

the boys have been going off on weeks long camps without Gjert for years. i think there was still a lot of phone/video communication though. Henrik will need to step up his leadership role for sure. it will be a natural transition for him from what I've seen.

Ingrid was always a "big" and a tad overweight... and probably would have been better suited to an 800. Plus I suspect Gjert forced workouts on her rather than let her develop. He is clearly seen in one episode given her all those 200s @32 and down which seems a bit of an overkill for a 4'44" guy....

Rreally? Genuinely asking because I haven't seen a lot of him, but from what I've seen he is often the one pushing against Gjert to go faster or do one more rep, or not relax or etc.

And I haven't seen anything of coaching related content of him, except mental support to Ingrid.

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

And you call my post dumb? Imbecile

No what's dumb is the implication that a "heart condition" related to the vaccine is a likely/reasonable/highly probable illness to cause this. That's a stupid and close-to baseless thing to imply, as the risk of vaccine-related heart injury (especially something beyond 5-10 inflammation from myocarditis) is extremely low.

By contrast, the incidence of COVID-19-associated cardiac injury or myocarditis is estimated to be 100 times higher (1,000–1,400 per 100,000 people with COVID-19) than that of COVID-19 mRNA-vaccine-related myocarditis. Moreover, in contrast to the overall mild presentation and good outcome of vaccine-associated myocarditis, COVID-19 is associated with a major risk of cardiovascular complications

There are probably 100 or 1000 other things that could qualify as a much more likely illness than your posit.

this is why athletes need coaches even when they know what they are doing. you can't trust them to be sensible themselves. They all know the system and the right way to do things. the most important thing is his brothers look up to him and respect him.

Wouldn't put it past that family lol

Asbel Kiprop was self-doped when he droped that 3:26.

He is coaching their elder brother who is a hobby runner, but has had great progress.

What about the youngest one, William ?

Little guy seems full of ambition, he's always saying he wants to run at least as fast as Jakob.

Hopefully, Henrik will be a good coach if that's what he wants.

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

Dude he's just old anyways

The kid likes soccer and scores a lot of goals, so maybe that'll become his sport, while the girl always seemed ambivalent about it and needed girls to train with, plus she thought gjert wasn't giving her training enough attention, which is totally familiar from having a daughter myself, and she was right that gjert was prioritizing training for his son. She was making pretty fair progress, more on Filip's trajectory, so I wouldn't have been surprised to see her breaking 15 by the time she hit 20.

Nobody knows what illness this is yet. But a qualified guess would be cancer.

My guess is another burnout. He has suffered that before with a lasting sick leave. Jakob's olympic gold took a toll on him. In december he toured bookshops to sign his book.

What did I tell you. Agent provides explanation: burnout

Reading at the level of a five year old. Just hope your high school coaching is not at the same level.

Daughter got popped for a PED violation.

Gjert cut a deal with Norwegian federation to keep it quiet and to spare his family public humiliation. He will retire due to health reasons.

The boy's self-coaching will not "go well". Some untimely injuries, omicron infection, or disappointing performances will cause them to drop out of worlds. Henrik and Filip will announce retirements after not making Norway squad for WC22. Jakob will be injured prior to Eugene and announce in 2023 that he hasn't healed properly and no longer has the fire. He's ready to commit to his young family and retires.

lol

why would she be tested

he said daughter got popped. why would the 15 year old daughter get drug tested? what am i misreading?

Jepp, looks like you were right. And that is really good news! Maybe my too dramatic conclusions here is what made the agent step forward, hehe. Guess that is a bit over the top prediction too!

agree with this. on the show henrik seems easily the one most likely to make bad decisions regarding his running because he is so determined and impulsive compared to the others. then again may he would act differently if coaching others. i seem to remember someone else on here saying that henrik was coaching the eldest brother.

If you genuinely think she's overweight, shut up and please stay away from females in this sport lmao
