And if it is true, does he still have energy drinks prior? I’ve just never seen anyone drink a Redbull or celsius or any other energy drink at a track meet outside of sprinters.

Isn’t Jakob’s training/life pretty well documented - reality show back home and so forth? Feels like this would be easy to demonstrate if true. I can’t imagine it’s true.
In one of the original family episodes, it shows him taking red bull before a diamond league I believe. So it has happened, I don’t know about always
So that's the formula for the 5000, Red Bull pre-race followed by two stops for water mid-race.
Athlete Special and friends seem pretty obsessed with Jakob. He's a great runner, but that's mostly due to his genetics. It's not like every scrub doing double threshold sessions is going to run a 3:30 1500.
Red Bull gives you the same caffeine into a tiny can as other energy drinks put in a big can, but people somehow still want the little can. Makes sense before a race, at least
Just called him Spencer Brown. “The athlete special” not so special struggling to run times high schoolers can run. Ran 3:59 once with 10 rabbits. Ran 3:39 once with 10 rabbits.
It would be extremely foolish for anyone to drink redbull before a long distance race. I would have to see him drink the whole thing, is this just a promotion for some cash? Sponsorship ?
I've seen it claimed that Red Bull gives you wings. Maybe it is true if Jakob uses it.
So what if he does? This is not the key to his success.
How can you possibly know that?
I know it because most of you could do the same and you still are mediocre.
Jakob could be genetically predisposed to being highly responsive to taurine.
I’m not sure about the Red Bull but I did hear that he snorts crushed up Sudafed before races.

Yeah OK…eating feces before could be his secret too.
His teeth tell the truth.
Answer: yes he does.

Plus Jakob runs twice as much as the Athlete Special does and lifts too unlike Spencer, it’s not just the double threshold
110 miles per week + lifting + double thresholds > 45 miles per week + sporadic to no strength work + double thresholds
I have only seen him getting a tattoo before he races.

Most likely due to genetics? Jakob has been training full time since he came out of the womb. That helps a bit.
TAS has gone full Ryan Trahan. I predict: when he doesn't run sub14 in this coming attempt, he'll quit running
Jakob Ingebrigtsen has a 1989 Ferrari 348 GTB and he's just put in paperwork to upgrade it
Is there a rule against attaching a helium balloon to yourself while running a road race?
