Do you think he will ever achieve it ?
I think right now he's probably around 12:50-12:52 shape based on his last 3000m.

What if he shaves his head like Mo?
Yes, I think his lifetime PR wil be in the low 12:40.
At the moment, 12:49-12:50
but if he dies of covid, we'll never know.

Why not?
I think he has the potential to one day reach 12:42-12:43.
However will he achieve his full potential on this distance, I don't know.

Some morons once thought the same for Alan Webb. Jakob will never run faster than 12:50. No chance.

Yes.
As stated on other threads:
Jakob´s 1500m and 3000m PBs indicate a 5000m between 12:45 and 12:47 so if he continues his long term mainly aerobic trainings regimen and stays healthy it is only a question about finding the right fast well paced 5000m to go close to 12:45. And he will everything equal continue to improve the next years so I predict he will go below 12:40 too
And before the negativists with Bad Wiggins in front start their usual nonsense about Jakob´s early peaking I will point out...........
Most of the current American top runners were sub elite/ "also-rans" until their twenties some even to their late twenties so why shouldn´t Jakob be able to improve up in his twenties as well?

Webb was also a much more speed oriented runner, see 1:43.high 800, and a 1:47 at 18. He also had many more training and coaching issues than Jakob, who literally has every aspect of his life tailored to fast running. People on here like to rip on Rupp for his robotic lifestyle, while the Norwegians are busy turning people into actual machines
Do you have any argumentation BW or is it just an incantation?
Has Jakob ever shaved his head yet? Inductive reasoning says he won't. Norwegians are too vain and the winters too cold to have a shaven head.

So if he walked into your salon right now and said:
Yo Wigins, can I have a mo. What would you think?

He would say "That will cost you 2,600 Kroner, please."

So Wigins has a salon in New York, London and Oslo?
Who's the moron now, buddy?
He will go sub 12:35 this year/or next year.
if you listen to ”i det lange lop” with the ingebrigtsen brothers, henrik claimed that Jakob could run 12:40 already in 2022. And these guys know - within a few seconds - how fast they can run based on their lactate/speed sessions.
Excellent!
