Herb was as fast as Ingebrigtsen 65 years ago on cinders with cr*p shoes. He would be faster today than Ingebrigtsen in the same conditions - and on the same juice.
Why are you talking about Ingebrigtsen? Is Jakob an 800m runner? Seek help.
Old men making excuses about why this isn't really that impressive show the foolishness that can only come with age.
The shoes make a minor difference, but a boy breaking a national record, for an event that is run at literally every meet and has stood for 29 years, as a sophomore is unfathomable.
There are faster women than Sebastian Coe in the 100m, 200m, 5000m, 10000m, Marathon.
There are children who could beat him in chess and 80 years old guys who could beat him in downhill skiing.
But the difference is Ingebrigtsen competes over the 800. It would be fun to see a 16 year schoolboy outkick him - like pros do over his main distance.

He competes over the 800. Is he a HM runner? He says he is.
Why does this Armstronglivs person try to make every thread about Jakob? Is he a gay man who acttually pines for Jakob’s attention? Seriously asking. He is very strange.
Does Ingebrigtsen run the 800? He has a listed pr.
On a side note, I have no idea why anybody would say that he is doping, unless the idea is that anybody who runs fast must be doping. There's no other reason to level that charge.
That is precisely the idea around these parts.
One of the reasons is the prevalence of doping in the sport.
Armstronglivs definitely has a bizarre fixation on Jakob (likely sexual). Why he wants to turn a thread about the new HS record holder in the 800m into a rant against Jakob seems inconceivable unless one looks at it in that fashion. Does anyone know the age of this strange poster? He comes off as a very desperate and bitter old man.

Deflection. Obviously you're not interested in the sport if you don't find it relevant that a 16 year old sophomore is faster over a distance also recorded by a runner that many here adulate as one of the greatest md runners ever. The 800 btw is an md event.
