Not sure if this has been discussed on here but I found these comments really interesting. A journalist translated some comments from a podcast Jakob did and he apparently was running quite a bit before he was even double digits in age.
"When I was 9-10-11, I was running 120-140 kilometers some weeks." That's 70-80 miles a week.
Are we going to see US parents trying to start copying this? The success of Jakob is unbelievable but that amount of training is unhear of in the US. Does it sound accurate to you all?
