7:17.55! Jakob Ingebrigtsen DESTROYS 3000m WR

Look you LRC folks need to wake up your darn ideas alright???? You folks speak like you haven't foreseen Jakob running even faster at 3k at 7:15???????? What's so difficult about running double 3:39s 1500m for a guy with 3:26 PB for the 1500m????? On supeshoes and fake track surfaces?????

El G would have ran double 3:37s in 1998 if he had also attempted the 3k record that year rather than 5 years later in 2003 when he was old and slow already!!!! But yet still ran 7:23. He was really 7 seconds faster in 1998/99.

If I was Jakob my plan would probably be to try and achieve the following:

break 1500m world record in the next year.
take a crack at 5000m WR.
win gold in 1500m at world championships.
run 5,000 and 10,000m in next Olympics

potentially get 10,000m WR if he feels physically capable

Take a crack at the half marathon

NO - WE ARE NOT FEELING YOU!!!!!!!

Its official: Ingebrigsten is from another planet. 7:17.55. Absurdly fast. Incomprehensible.

And as I've said on this forum for years, Jakob was ALWAYS a 3000m runner. Never was a 1500 specialist. He's simply so good that 1500m thru 5000m he looks like a specialist in every event. 2000m, 3000m and 2mile......he is in his own category. Peerless. That simple.

The 5000m WR will be next. Assuming he stays healthy, he takes that under 12:35 next year.

I think he found his distance, lol.

Nah it was a jog for Jakob this 7:17 did you see how relaxed he looked?????? Yes I love Josh KERR but remember I also actually love Jakob did you know?????????

In fact I loved Jakob first before I suddenly realize my passion for KERR and the way he moves his legs and arms!!!!!!!!

Jakob didn't need revenge for losing the 1500m gold in Paris to run a WR in Silesia 3000m!!!!!! The 3000m and 5000m are like cake walk events for him. It's the 1500m that he has problems cake-walking, you feeling me?????? And that's because his legs ain't got no POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is not a POWER guy like El G, his legs can't open up wide in the final straightway, he can't elongate himself in the final surge. He depends on sub-maximal endurance and lots of luck in the 1500m. He needs all the guys to fall ill on the day or forget to take their PEDs to win it. But even a PED guy like Hockerdope will never outrun Jakob in the 3k and 5k!!!!!!

Call me when he stops ducking world xc.

It's disgusting when you see that all his current and former opponents respect him far more than some "racing fans" here,

I'm a bit worried about him waiting until next year to take it because you never know in this sport. Time is a real equalizer you feeling me sir????????????

If you can do it now then don't waste any more time you feeling me?????? I prefer Jakob wraps up the 5k WR in Brussels and skips the 1500m and 3000m really. He would be 25 next year and why wait till then when he can do it at 24????? Most track distance WRs are all set before the age of 24, mostly at 22 and 23 and 25 is a tad too late you feeling me?????

Jakob may no longer be at his peak by next year at 25, and many factors are at play like his mobile phone and WiFi radiation exposure etc.........

Did you read my authoritative post and comment yet?????

I calculated it to be 12:23 for 5k on the back of his 7:17 and 7:54 last year. Jakob is good at holding pace just under 60s. That's his physiological sweet spot it seems.

I totally agree, and the pacing through 2000m was horrible on El Guerrouj’s attempt.

Jakob is absolutely the best 3000m runner we have ever seen, but that record was always extremely overrated. I remember people on here saying it was the toughest record in the books. Not even close, it was never on the level of the 1500/5000m records. To be honest I could see Jakob running 7:14 some day in perfect conditions, with world class pacing etc. , also running around 12:32 and sneaking just under 3:26.

It's true Jakob doesn't run faster than Josh KERR at 800m, for sure sir!!!!!

Jakob is a sub-maximal threshold type of athlete, why does he need faster than 1:46 800m speed????

Actually he does care. But he is just a Jakob hater who has to find some negative thing to say about his tremendous accomplishment. In this case he could not think of anything so he resorted to that rubbish.

Astonishing performance, however when you take into account the shoes, wave light and bicarb, Komens run was still a little better for me. Komen was in an era of no EPO test though.

Why not enjoy the performance and assume innocence until proven guilty? If not possible, try thinking about it as the Mr Olympia where participants flex their lungs around a 400m stage. Just the sight thereof is impressive. If it is difficult because it is not fair to non dopers (if he was doping) at what times for the 3000m would you be able to say it's clean. What if a 7:45 guy is actually a 8:45 doper? I mean how can you really tell?

What the heck was Fisher doing out there today????????? Has he been partying too much since the Olympics???? That was embarrassing.

Yeah man, I don't know why the folks on here are swooning over him running an 'incredible' double 3:39 1500m??????? It was always in the book that Jakob would do that even Josh KERR says that Jakob can have the 3k and 5k WRs but not the 1500m WR!!!!!!!

My prediction doesn't change, Jakob didn't win the Paris Gold which has come true, and Jakob also isn't breaking 3:26:00 this year. This year will be his FINAL YEAR of physiological highest performance ever, he isn't going higher when he is 25 next year. No Olympic distance WRs have ever been broken by athletes in their 24 or 25th year, correct me if I'm wrong here!!!!!!

If Jakob is breaking the 1500m WR, it will be in Zurich and Brussels, also the same for 5000m WR!!!!!! I said it here first!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Timing (age) is everything in high performance sport practiced under the watchful eye of anthropogenic RF!!!!!

Clearly, Ingebrigtsen didn't time his cycle right for Paris.

Didn't dope for Silesia bruh!!!! Fisher's wild right sir??????
