This thread was started before the race and was entitled, "We may be calling Grant Fisher a World Record Holder by this time next weekend." The race is over. He just missed the AR by running 12:51.84 (AR is 12:51.64) but what made it super impressive is he basically solo'd the whole race as he only had a rabbit for 2k.
He's now the 5th fastest man in history. Here is the top 4

Really wish he had done it at Terrier or Valentine, would have had more help and competition to achieve the record. Crowd noise would have also been insane.

This is the best shape Grant's ever been in during indoors, bodes well for the Ten coming up next month.

Did u watch it in person ROJO?
No. JG is there. I watched about one lap around 2500 and then I guess weldon logged in to flotrack so I got kicked out. I was stunned that a) he was all alone with no rabbit and b) he was so far ahead of everyone else.

Doing it solo after 2k is not any more impressive. It's still 5 seconds slower than his PR, on the fastest track (indoor or outdoor) in the world.
Everything Ingebrigtsen does is mostly solo. There's no bonus points.
Sounds like a guy that has never front ran a 5k. Even indoors the mental aspect is worth a few seconds. And when he ran his PB outdoors he basically sat on Krop the whole way. Likewise Kincaid had Klecker to sit on the whole way too when he ran the AR last year

Ingebrigtsen has never soloed a 5k. Closest thing to this was his Paris 2 mile where I believe he was alone most of the second half but even there he had a wavelight which makes a massive difference compared to running solo without a wavelight.

Fisher ran 60% of this race completely alone. Jakob only had to run 33% of his 2 mile record alone. The Jakob worshipping on this board is getting a bit overdone
What I don't get is teams are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars if not millions on these guys. ANd you don't even have good rabbits. So the BTC guys miss the standard by 1 second?
The whole standard chasing is wild to me. I guess youd probably need 5k minimum to get a rabbit for the standard and then 10k for a WR rabbit?
