How soon until Cole Hocker beats Jakob Ingebrigtsen??

Looks like Colie is considerably more fleet of foot over 400, so Jakob will not be able to hang with him once he gets a few more miles under his belt.

How about never? Not at any distance 1500 and up.

Talk to me when Hocker runs 3:28 (or races actual pros). The disrespect is insane.

LOL the Hocker knob slobbing needs to stop immediately. The answer is never. I’m not even a big fan of his, but Jakob is a medal contender in any distance 1500-10,000, Meanwhile, Hocker is going to struggle to even make the US team this June. The hype-beasting of this Oregon duo is ridiculous.

Yeah, the problem with American distance running in my view is that this bizarre reverance for hobbyjogging 75% of the race and then going into an all out sprint finish has been ingrained into every single american athlete and fan of the sport. It's holding us back.

Ingebrigsten is a notch or so better.

Why will it eventually happen? I’ll bet you $1000 hocker won’t beat Jakob once his entire career

Jakob is part of a new breed of runners. There is no kick to be run because he forces you to run 3:30 to beat him... so never

Too bad people can kick in 3:30 races now, 3:27 races actually.

Too bad that guy is undoubtedly doping as well.
