Jakob get’s asked how fast he can run at Silesia. His answer: "If I can run 3:26 I'm very happy."

Why apostrophe whyyyyy

The grammar police strike’s again. This is an informall forum, not an Enlish class.

!!!

Dude, look at your own pile of trash that you’ve written.

Yes its crazzy on here.

That's what is awesome about Jakob, he answered the question directly by providing a time. Most runners when asked the same question will give a cliche answer like "I just want to go out there and stay up front, run hard and compete" or something like that.

Why no 1500m in Monaco this year? Why?

I could see another 3:27, maybe he runs 3:27.5 to break into the top 5 ahead of Silas Kiplagat (a guy with one global metal).

I couldn't see him running 3:26 until he gets on a really fast track, with a loaded field. Diamond League final on the Oregon track could be a great time to do it.

DL final is a Mile

Is Silesia even a country?

Google could be your friend. But you would have to swallow your pride and ask.

Lol the funny thing is I did that on purpose along with the other Enlish mistake’s and it went right over your head 😂

Silesia (which is a region in the south of Poland, Bad Wiggins) should have a fast track. It is situated in the city Chorzów near Katowice.

And why does Jakob need a loaded field if he has pacers to follow?

The pacing is set to 1:50.5 for 800m (AKBACHE, Mounir), 2:18 at 1000m (Sowinski) and then McSweyn is named as the third pacer with no distance or time. But he shall possibly try to run as long as possible in around 55 per lap pace.

It looks like a scenario very close to what Salvatore has proposed.

I suppose the wave lights are set to 3:27.

We can hope Jakob go in front of the wave light in the end as he did in the 2 mile in Paris.

2:18 at the 1000 would be perfect for sub 3.27. If Stewy can help in addition to that, 3:26.9 is coming.

Going to be interesting to see if McSweyn has regained his level so he is able to pace. He has been a shadow of himself.

His 3:32 from a couple of weeks ago is hopefully a sign of better racing to come for him.

Cameron Myers is down to race too. Is this the first time he's raced Jakob?

Well now it gets interesting right. If the humanoid pacers are going 1.50.5 we can assume Jakob ideally wants to hit 800m right on 1.51.0. The 2.18 (2.18 low for him a few meters back) is right on target for somewhere between 2.46.0 and 2.46.5 but hopefully on the lower side of that.

Again though, I still question the straight up anaerobic power of Jakob - can he close out in under 41 seconds? Not sure if I see that to be honest. Hey either way it's good to see him committing to faster splits through 800m, which with his even pace ability directly translate to better 1200m times.

I do think he's going to PR - but I still can't see how he gets under 3.27.0 unless he is 2.45 and change at 1200m. Still I'll say he takes a nice half second+ chunk off and runs hmm, 3.27.32 - good for 4th ever (3rd eliminating Kiprop) displacing the great Morceli on that list.
