Doping is discussed on virtually every second thread. That is the sport. You might pass that on to Coe and WA.
Your source that Ingebrigtsen dopes: doping is discussed a lot in letsrun.
Even for YOU: dumb to the max.
No, that isn't my source. I have followed the information made publicly available over the years about doping in the sport, that enables a conclusion that the very best athletes today are likely doping. But I'm not going to try to persuade you of what you haven't seriously looked into or inquired into yourself and how Ingebrigtsen fits into that. Not wanting to know about these things is how you and others remain fans of the sport.

Imagine that! Being a fan of the sport! Imagine if you used your endless free time to coach kids instead of posting 100 times a day about Jakob Ingebrigtsen.

I'm glad you follow my "100 daily posts". What you have failed to imagine however is the role played by doping in the sport. As I said - that's how you remain a fan.

Turning easy pace into another Strava segment contest is part of the problem with why runners can't maintain consistent training, why they get injured or burned out, etc.
We don't know who actually does have the fastest easy pace, and it shouldn't matter at all. All of the top 100 probably should have, or need to, run their easy runs slower and easier.
Never mind how many of them are got away or are getting away with training too hard too often in general because of doping. Many of the names people called out are prime suspects there too.

To me this is just a fun question. Yeah, it's not great to run your mileage faster than needed but sometimes it's just fun! What's cool about elites is they can really push the limits and still have superhuman recovery so the question about their mileage pace can yield some interesting results. There was an article a few years back about Justyn Knight saying that his morning double was a 16 minute 5k. You could say that this is why he has injury issues or that running that fast means he can't run enough mileage to be a medal threat but ultimately the dude was a sub 13 minute Olympian just cruising his morning runs.
