If Jakob Ingebrigtsen breaks the outdoor 3000 WR time during his indoor WR attempt

On the other hand, if he runs a 3:23 1500, he should definitely focus on that!

If he does it, he shouldnt change anything to what he is doing.

If Jacob run 7:20 this an insurance that a new undetected drug is used.

Well I'm just joking.

Going under 7:20.67 indoors is too big of an IF to entertain.

I do believe if Jakob runs under 7:20 indoors that Coevett would have a heart attack. Let us hope this does not happen. The odds of it happening are .00055%.

I have to agree, hitting 7:24 is already a pretty tall ask, going sub 7:20.7 indoors is just crazy talk. Haven't we heard for years that some think the 7:24i is better than the 7:20, or at least in the same ball park.

he shouldn’t change his focus from either to either, if he can run that indoors he could probably take the 15 AND 5k world records outdoors.

if he runs 7:20 indoors i buy a shot glass with a picture of jakob on it

If he manages to beat Komen's record but indoors he shouldn't stop there but should take every record in the book, from the 100m up.

if he breaks the WR I’ll eat my shirt

He's not running 7:20 either indoors or outdoors. That record is almost as untouchable as those women's 400/800 records.

It´s VERY unlikely that he will even try to break 7:20 in Madrid.

But I suppose he will go for the indoor WR especially if his 1500m race in Lievin the week before is going well. To improve his 3:30.60 WR in the 1500m he has to run al least close to 56 per lap. If he manages to do that in Lievin it seems to be realistic to run close to 59 per lap on the double distance in Madrid

47 may be out of his reach, but he can run 1:53 twice in a row with no rest.

You don’t understand how difficult it is to break Komen. Unlikely that man has been born yet.

This is an exaggeration. Wale got within .1 of his record indoors in January and didn't even count the laps correctly. We have seen a slew of times between 7:24-7:26 over the last few years, largely indoors. Its only a matter of time before someone of Jakob or Kiplimo's caliber takes a real stab at it with pacing lights outdoors and gets close.

There were hardly any fast 3,000s after Komen. Now that the 3,000 is a staple on the DL + pacing lights, someone will get close to the record. Thierry Ndikumwenayo is running the same 3K times as Bekele/Haile, the game has changed.

I wonder to what extent it explains his time. He gave everything in the last 200m only to have to do it again...and somehow managed to do so.

fixed

More like .00069%... if you know what I mean.

I stand corrected…and I know what you mean.

This might get voted down but is actually 100% accurate.
