Yes, but Jakob said pre Silesia that he wouldn’t do 7.18 or better “in this century”. -Guess he never learns either (but only you sitting with the result afterwards)!
Jakob states an ambitious goal and fails, you criticize him for his ego. Jakob exceeds his expectations and you criticize him as well. You and your mate Livs are only looking for way to criticize him.
I don’t criticise Jakob for his ego. Not at all -I very much, unlike Armstronglivs, like his ego. But Jakob is a narcissist (in a good way) and he must be aware so he doesn’t become malign. But I think Jakob feels the narcissistic energy inside, and is very aware that he must control it, and transform it into something very positive.
When it comes to exceeds one’s expectations Jakob is in my view already legendary. And if he also runs fast in the 5000m (that is not given IMO), and gets a grip of the 10k/HM I will celebrate so hard that I will have problems with coming down again. And I will then certainly tease Armstronglivs a lot!
Disagree -sometimes it’s very called for. I think you should teach your children to stand up for them selves when they are being bullied, but of course also not to over do it. And I think I’m a poster with below average use of offensive language.
I bet you believe that, and I bet you also think you were bullied there. My children are perfectly able to take disagreements on the chin without calling someone psycho in response.
First of all: This is an adult forum, so I don’t see what your children have to do with this. Saying that, I agree that one normally should refrain from using words like “psycho”.
So let me elaborate a little: I didn’t use the word “psycho” or psychopath. And that was deliberate, because despite having education and experience in diagnosing personality disorders I don’t believe in diagnosis from a distance or on un secure ground. And my point was neither to stress how very bad the poster behind the troll handle is.
I didn’t call the poster something. That wasn’t my point, because I think people who can see can conclude without my pointing out. So I asked if the poster was blind or psychotic -clearly a rhetorical question since the poster bears no marks of psychosis or blindness. So did I do that because I lost it or needed to go down to insults? Not at all, I would have done it again, calmly, because of the following:
This poster seemed to have started her power game (that she does against Armstronglivs) also against me (taking the man and not the ball) by asking if I was upset (so she could focus on my mentally instability, age, grandfather status, physically aging, diapers, probably nursing home location, sun downing, etc). That didn’t irritate me at all -on the contrary- I like it when things come up on the table. And therefore I asked my question well aware of that this poster, or others, could claim that “this man are calling other posters “psycho” -clearly he must be the psycho by breaking normality so profoundly that the moderators must act…!” But I like this up on the table as a challenge. And I also think this is one of the good things on this forum: Posters like Armstronglivs and myself meet a harsh environment that teach us to control ourselves, and calmly stress whatever we find necessary…
Lastly: I wouldn’t dream of diagnosing the actual poster (yessssss) with psychosis, blindness, personality disorders etc -that would be pure speculative. So I think the most likely is the following: She thinks Armstronglivs is so bad that she can do any thing against him without limitations. So she has no empathy. -A very dangerous and sad attitude to have if you ask me. But luckily Armstronglivs tackles this supremely, and doesn’t even bother to go after her, and gives content to the famous Nietzsche quote: “What doesn’t kill you strengthens you”. So I sort of got two “heroes” these days: Armstronglivs boldly alone against the bs majority, and Jakob with all his achievements (sorry for the comparison Arms).

You are making things up. And you did sound upset to me.

You are projecting unto me things that are completely false. I do respect your right to be wrong though. Livs "tackles" the interactions with me like he does with anyone else who disagrees with him. Like a narcissist. Like a bully. Like every narcissist and bully, he is extremely insecure. I also respect your right to like him. At least one person does.
Armstronglivs boldly alone against the bs majority
I also respect your right of thinking that everyone who brings facts to the discussion, proving that Livs lies, gaslights and knows very little about the sport after 1970, is a "bs majority". And by all means, continue ignoring all the posts showing his lies, his bullying, his ignorance. I guess he appreciates the support.
What else are they going to say? His training isn't going so well and he could lose yet more finals this year?
Yes. They say it when Jakob is injured or coming back from an injury.
His family aren't objective analysts and commentators in respect of his career. It is pointless to quote them as though they are. They are ultimately just fans, like the rest of you.
Actually "the ones to beat" have been Wightman, Kerr, Hocker and Nuguse
Look up Jakob's head to head against those guys, he beats them regularly. Also lol @ including Wightman in there you delusional, dishonest rat fck.
The h2h is irrelevant; any one of those guys and sometimes several of them are beating Ingebrigtsen in global 1500 finals. He hasn't won one since 2021. It's now 2025.

The ones to beat have also been all the incredible runners he has consistently beaten in the 5,000m.
The 5k isn't his problem; his main event is.
With his average 800m potential, it is complerely obvious that the 1500m can't be his best event. He is still already an all-time great at the distance and the best in the last four years. But he is far from "unbeatable" over 1500m.
For sure he is much stronger over the 3000m and most likely he is even bettervover the 5000m. We have to wait what he can do here in a well paced effort for a fast time.

Only Kerr has beaten him in 1500m finals. The last time they raced, Ingebrigtsen won. Let's see if Kerr can win another race against Ingebrigtsen. Or if there even will be another duel between them.
Kerr wants to become the best Miler of his generation. Very difficult without racing. The others are much younger and Ingebrigtsen is also clearly faster. Interesting season to come.

I’m pretty sure I can find things to criticise Armstronglivs for. -I could f.x confront him when he (and he’s not the only one for some reason: ha, ha) is calling my long posts “flannel” and refuses to read them. But why would I -if he sees them as flannel he is perfectly entitled to so. Of course that could be irritating initially, but not by some afterthought -a discussion of a theme has to end sometime anyways, so why not that way… But at least he gives an honest reason, whereas most posters just ignore my post without a word. And of course I have to check my posts to see if they are flannel…
But the above mentioned is nothing. The majority of posters here are far worse than Armstronglivs even when he deliberately is on his worst.

This thread is not about the 1500m specifically. Jakob is training well and if he stays healthy we will probably be some more great performances this year.

There's a lot of track between 12:48 and 12:35.
There's a big difference between racing for place and running a time trial.
