Physically he is best suited for the 5k but mentally he hates the pain of running it all out, which makes perfect sense. I totally relate to that.
The pain level of the 5000m is no different than for the 1500m. A 5000m will feel easy for him for well over half the race, and with a lap to go, he’ll be under the same stress.
Ingebrigtsen is as mentally tough as any runner.
He may not be. He has shown poor tactical sense in big races, like the Paris 1500.
Because the 12:35 runner in question has put up embarrassing performances in every single global 5k final he's run except for one, and finished 9th in the last global final he ran against Jakob.
It sounds like you're describing Jakob's performances in 1500 championship finals over the last 3 years, where he is repeatedly beaten by other runners. I hope he isn't getting frightened by them.
Whatever Cheptegei's poor performance in the last global final his fastest time remains streets ahead of Jakob's best, so I doubt he's afraid of him, and his victory in the Paris 10k showed guts and talent against very good opposition. It was a far faster race for that distance than Ingebrigtsen's 5k.
It wasn't in the last global final, Dumb.
In the last two, he prefered not to compete - as world record holder. What could be the reason? He doesn't care in winning gold medals? But he has raced in the 10000m. Maybe he was little bit afraid of this slow Norwegian guy . just maybe? What do you think (well, thinking and Dumbstrong...)?
In the context of this discussion only a moron - as you are - thinks tenths or hundredths of seconds are relevant.
To give a runner who has only run 12:35.36 credit to have run 12:35.00 is like giving a 9.93 sprinter the world record - according to YOU, Dumb.
It isn't the same argument because no one is close to Cheptegei's record and Ingebrigtsen's best is the length of the straight slower. You work very hard to prove you are the most stupid contributor to any discussion.

I was referring to the previous commenter's observation that he finished 9th in the last global final in which he competed against Ingebrigtsen. You can't read a whole sentence. But it wouldn't help if you could because you wouldn't understand what you are reading. Cheptegei's 10k victory at Paris remains more impressive than Ingebrigtsen's 5k.
He has done dozens of posts about this important subject.
It has no bearing on an argument that claims a 3:26.73 runner is a "3:26 runner" when 3:26-flat is the wr and Ingebrigtsen has not equalled it. I am sorry to hear of your brain damage.

Your post has nothing to do with mine. Him finishing out of the medals in Paris, had nothing to with his tolerance for pain.
He has a far better sense of his capabilities than you do, and after being out kicked the last two WCs, it was reasonable for him to believe the best strategy was to run from the front. It was a bold move, but he might have lost to the other three guys no matter what he did.

You’re just another Monday morning quarterback.
Tolerance of pain isn't the definition of mental toughness, but the ability to make smart decisions in the heat of competition. He failed to do so in the Paris 1500.
Nope, your seething jealousy managed to outperform familial bonds.
You simply make me laugh.

I don't know, why would a 3:26.73 runner be worried about Josh Kerr? Did Cheptegei run 12:35 without pacers? Aren't you the first guy to always bring up how Jakob is only good at time trials? Did you suddenly forget about all of this?

Now that makes me laugh 😄
I like to keep you entertained because you're here reading and responding to every post I make. You apparently have nothing else in your life.
