Ofcourse you can Sifan Hassan 2019 World Championship, wins 10,000 with a sub 4 min 1500 to close and then destroyed the field including Faith Kipyegon in the 1500 in world champs record time. If it was done on the women's side it can also be done on the men's side. Mo Farah and Haile Gebrselassie ran world class 1500m times when they ran their best 10,000's.
the dreaded 400 repeat workout. in this case it is aerobic work, build up,
i would say great choice.
madness is the 20 x 400 sub mile race pace.
the question to ask, what adaptation are you looking for?
how many reps do you need for best adaptation?
eight or maybe ten in two sets of 6.
talking mid d. people with some fast twitch.
He needs 20x400m at 54.0 seconds with 40s rest. That’s the gold standard of mile by El G. El G had sub min rest for all his rest too. 63.5s is baby pace for 1500m. If he is building aerobic base but it’s already race day why is he still in building phase? It means he just isn’t ready for 1500m at worlds. We should be seeing him knocking 54s by now.
i was heavily down voted, and the nay sayer was heavily downvoted. that seems unique
on epo or super goat, can do what ever.
slower 400 in abundance is aerobic. you need that stimulus , along with
and 54 400 with 90 sec 2 min recovery
these are conpletely different workouts and both effective.
main point is that 8 fast reps or so at 400, is all you need fir the adaptation to take place. after that you are wasting energy.
with test and epo and hgh, go ahead and break every rule in the book, you will recover just fine, while the elnatural guy goes to hispital.
Average workout. Rest is too long and WR is 62s. It doesn’t translate well to 55s 1500m running. He needs to do 20x400 at 54 seconds with 40s rest to wow eyes around the world. Third workout only puts him in contention again for 5000m and not 1500m
Can’t believe I’m even responding to something so stupid but do you seriously think this is even humanly possible?

I used to laugh when I read that EL G had run 10x400 with 40 s rest. So now, a few decades later, it is 20x400. Wait another 20 years and it will be 40x400.

Not to mention that this guy fail to under stand that JI was doing a threshold session. Almgren also has this session as a staple.

I kind of feel like after peaking (arguably) too early in 2024 (3:26 in July), Jakob had used his injury this year to err on the opposite side.
I’m sure he and his brother are gathering tons of data about his fitness at various points and are hoping next year and in 2028 to thread the needle properly
No YOU are speculating. Some of us know some relevant facts (so we can make some qualified predictions):
He regularly not only beats 26:50 guys he completely destroy them.
See fore example the Euro XC in 2024.
A healthy Jakob in top shape can at least run 26:30.
Almgren who is a 26:50 guy and training partner to Jakob thinks that Jakob is significantly faster than him in the 10000m (as he is on all distances down to the sprints).
YOU are speculating. As someone who knows much more about this than you do, I can tell you that you are not an “objective” observer and that you consistently overrate Jakob. You seem to think that Jakob has 26:30 ability, despite the fact that he has never shown this, not once. 26:30 runners do not fall apart at 27:27 pace. Jakob was exposed in that half marathon. He didn’t belong with the big boys, and he is battling injury problems. You cherry pick data that suits your narrative, as I just did when I mentioned his half marathon, but you don’t even seem to know you are doing it.
Objectiveobserver is an expert in CIA and department of war matters. He has shown promise to acquire weapons of directed energy war. He can rattle off the ABCs of spike protein causing heart attacks and cell towers microwaving innocent citizens, but when it comes to Jakob he frequently talks pass himself.
27:27 should be cakewalk for a 26:30 guy. It's run on straight roads with no circular cicrumnavigation. He clearly has favoritism for Jakob.
I feel guilty for previously placing him on my totem pole when he won Tokyo 2021. After that it was endless promises and waits for another win in the 1500m and still it hasn’t come and it’s life unlikely than ever as this events recycles itself very quickly with the likes of new blood coming up. Now I find him just venturing more into broadway theatre with each passing YouTube and instagram post. He is just running for the legacy now.
Less than 6 months since he broke 2 1500/mile indoor WR’s with a huge margin in the middle of a base training period. And we all know he has unfinished business in the 5000m time wise (no indication of him loosing endurance in his injury period)…
It's expected for him to run 3:45 low given his 3:43:73. That indoor record was well broken in the winter of 2023 rather than 2025. Don't be swooned over yet. You are too impressionable. This is not good. I would count a 3:44:00 this winter to be more indicative of being in electric form.
I think he was exaggerating. In real practice you add 5-10 seconds to that because athletes do not lazy or spend a bit more time for water or walking astray. It happens. I say more like 50s.
Pretty sure JI knows what his workouts are and does them. If the rest period is supposed to be 40 secs, then he does 40 sec rest periods
With the amount of banter and indiscipline on video, i hardly believe he could be relied on to rest 40s. His cavelier training attitude compare to Salemon Barega is shocking. Barega trains like he is praying but Jakob trains like he is at a circus show. Attitude is bad.
