* Tim C needs to avoid racing J I in Diamond League meets. D L meets are a money grabbing joke.
* Tim C should never lead a 1500m race the first 1000m meters again.
* Tim C needs to watch the pitfall of too many elite Kenyan 1500m men, overtraining, especially overtraining at higher elevation.
1. They are listed in Oslo. Wouldn't call that race at all a money-grabbing joke — looks like it will be a phenomenal venue to run a PB or close.
2. Any 1500 race? Tim is good at controlling races. A global final? Sure, let Jakob/Kipsang push early if they're going to take it out fast.
3. Even in a down season, I think Tim peaked pretty well last year. His Worlds race last year wasn't great on the surfact, but Katir shoved him out of the way and he also ran FTW trying to pass Tim which you couldn't say about the guys who beat him outside of Jake/Jakob. He ran well at Comm Games as well.
On Sunday, Jakob Ingebrigtsen begins the 2023 track season during the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Rabat. The 1500 meters in Morocco brings together some of the best. But the Oslo Bislett Games on Thursday 15 June brings t...
I hate to say it but J.I. dominance is here for the long haul. He is like this sports Lance Armstrong in that his doping program is unrivaled. He's developing the same arrogance too. Funny how that works.
Jamin bakes a lot of rhubarb pies and is always looking for a rhubarb.

Potato Man is back with a 1:44 at altitude 2 weeks ago and then he runs faster last weekend at a low-key meet than Jacob did the same weekend.
The reality is that 800M/1500M guys will always beat up on 1500M/5000M guys.
aren't the two fastest 1500 runners of all-time 1500/5000 guys?
Yes - El G and Lagat. But Noah Ngeny is the second fastest miler after El G and still holds the 1000m world record, so he was perhaps more speed based.

I actually think Laros and Myers will be there in a couple of years...
People keep on disrespecting Jacob Ingebrigtsen and that's really weird. He keeps getting disrespected, maybe because of his confident attitude, or perhaps because he is a white westerner and not supposed to be beating Africans like he did at the world champs 5,000. Perhaps some people still don't think he is the real deal, but they haven't been closely watching him these last several years.
Very likely. Quite a few top white male athletes are disrespected or otherwise marginalized. Crazy world and crazy people at the reins of media who have brainwashed millions

Yeah. Tom Brady, Messi, Ronaldo, etc have really been marginalized by the media.
Mondo and Crouser are both white T&F athletes that are very much liked and admired. Why? Because they are amazingly talented and seem like cool guys. JI is a great runner but thinks he is a lot cooler than he is. People don’t like that.

Maybe it’s because he has gotten silver in the two most recent WC 1500s.

And simultaneously there's a thread raving about 8 or 10 of the 5000 guys who Jakob can effortlessly trounce while taking water breaks and waving to friends in the stands
