Official Lievin 2025 Indoor Discussion Thread

NICE. I think that's about what should have been expected based on the pace that was asked for. 56 second laps and then another 1.x for the 9 meters Makes something like 3:45.3

Adding myself to history

Well within himself, and fun to see. This record could stick for a bit now, unless Jakob takes it down. I don't see it getting beaten at Millrose.

3.29.63 (sorry for giving him 2/100 better time)

Level above the guy that beat him at the Olympics?

Looking at his 200m splits, they're about perfect. That was about as fast as you can expect out of essentially a solo effort. Very well done.

Its just so controlled. 1500m(i) WR - 3:29.63, mile(i) WR - 3:45.14.

He is a machine.

Perfect splits are what happen when you can just follow the lights.

Yes, a level above. If Nguse had tried to run the race that Jakob did in Paris he would have finished like 8th.

Onthe millrose cheat track he runs 3:43 easily. He also could have gotten better pacemaking that first pscemsker flew out.

Something tells me that its not "just" to follow those lights.

First indoor mile for Jakob.

Not bad

Yared in indoors not peaked? Yes. But the gap clearly shrinks considerably when Yared is at his best like we saw in Pre 2023, and in Paris 2024. Of course I expect Jakob to still win if we airdropped Yared in there today, but he goes under 3:46 too in my estimation.

Jakob is 8-1 against Nuguse buddy.

Great race, hope to see a video soon

yup. basically 14-14.2 every 100. once the pacer left, he he dipped a hair under 14 and then like 13.8, 13.5, 15.5 for the last 109. He actually slowed up a hair in the end I think.

8-2 but your point still stands. (Zurich)

Remind me, what was that one loss he took? Must've been some irrelevant meet

So Jakob is physically a level above, but mentally several levels below.
