Harald Schmid from Germany is the fastest 400m h specialist on 800m with 1:44.83. I think Warholm is on that level. So Jakob would have it very dificult.
jep.
schmid comes also to my mind. he ran 1979 as the first european runner in turin a sub 48/400m hurdles and one hour later 45,31 for 400m flat.
schmid used to train in tough weather conditions like warholm. legendary workouts in the winter in gelnhausen, where he had to shovel snow on the track to have a free lane.
i am not sure about warholm´ s 800m capabilities as i think he trains more specific while schmid believed in old school-sessions like 6x1000/w short jog rest or regular tempo runs but the data shows some parallels.
if warholm would run 800m like schmid (1:44:83), jakob would have to push very hard.
