Sub-57 is equal to 52.75 laps of 64.8 seconds, which when you phrase it like that seems effortlessly easy for someone like Jakob.
Hahaha what? How does phrasing it like that make it seem easy for anyone? That’s a freak ton of 64s man.

Yeah especially when many posters here cannot run 200m in 32.4 seconds and then we are talking about over 105 of them in a row without stopping. This is 27:00 for 10000m and then doing it again, and then adding .7 mile. And of course only 5 US men have broken 27, so it no walk on the park for anyone.

This quoted post has been removed.
He won Olympic gold in Tokyo and in Paris. Kerr talked up a storm and had his arrogant ass handed to him. He has yet to acknowledge Hocker is his master after Paris and Zurich while Jakob said the three ahead of him in Paris were the best on the day. Kerr is obviously as big a fluke as Wightman. Go take your Geritol and handle your sundowners syndrome you bitter old fart.

Interesting presser. Also Jakob is being kept company with Filip as long as he can hang with him. Sounds like he is going to go out strong and see how he feels and adjust his pace on how he feels. What a gamer.

Copenhagen Half Marathon 2024 Details
01 -
Ok. I had a friend at the press event today. Here is what he sent me via whatsapp.
He's already said he doesn’t know exact pacing but will run the first mile with the lead pack and then decide if that’s too hot or if he can stick with it.
His longest run ever is 20km and that was in about 5.50/mile pace
He did ask himself ‘what in earth’ he was doing here.
That this is for fun and ‘unknown’ and for that he’s relaxed and curious about the outcome.He hopes he can make it to the ‘twilight zone’ the last 5km but he has no idea how his body will be after 15km if he can even run
He’s not in the WR discussion this weekend
His vacation started today and his 2nd day of vacation is tomoro so he is here for fun and a personal test about his own curiosity and not to break a WR.He says tomoro the competitor within him will be trying to take over and go with the pace but he also has a personal fight inside him to be realistic and smart
Filip his brother will pace him - probably only makes it to 5k at that pace
It’s kinda known here that he will lay off that pace and try run around 58.xxSo it sounds like he'll go out hard for a mile or so but most likely end up in the 58 min group.

Lame AF. My interest in this race is now significantly less.

As per inside info the pace will be 2'42"/km, 27:00 through 10k. Aregawi will be pacing until 15k if possible, weather looks almost perfect, it's on!
the pacing is for Kiplimo. Ingy isn't ready to break 58 yet.
Yep. not a chance.

He isn't going for WR - people need to calm down and respect the time and distance already ran. Rojo said it best it might be a Cheptegei situation with the Marathon.

Cheptegei went for it though…sub-61 half right? I suspect Jakob will aim for 58-something and perhaps that could mean he’s in striking distance of everyone but Kiplimo barring a blowup. I don’t know if Sawe would go with the WR pace either

He could take it out in 3:26 followed by a 12:35 5K and then jog home for the world record
Not saying that will be his strategy but I'm sure he's thought about it

How is it lame that the reigning Olympic 5000m champion is running a very competitive half marathon? You'd kill him if he said he was going for the WR, hell in the above he says he's going with the leaders for a mile. He may say he'll back off but I'm doubtful given the competitor he is.

it sucks that they are running at noon for their timezone. i'm gonna be asleep by then and not gonna have to will to watch the whole thing, so i'm just gonna get spoiled by the results. i really do wanna watch it live. i would've watched it live until jakob becomes more than 30m behind
