Would you put $10k on the line to bet on yourself? What percentage of LRC do you think could beat him?
My fastest 100m ever was handtimed around 12.2 back when I was 16 and In 4:17 mile shape. I've seen Jakob run that quick at the end of a Sub-3:30 1500m. I highly doubt I could crack 13 today and even in my physical hayday. I HIGHLY DOUBT I would've even been a meter behind him. So that'd just be 10k I lose.
If J Ingebrigtsen listens to Let'srun dummies, switches to Marathon training for a year and he is forbidden to run under 16 seconds per 100 meters for one year. IF my 100m training for one year goes well, then I will beat him, 100m dash.
At my all time best, absolutely, but I also have a 10.88 PR with doing only a couple weeks of block work. I was a 800m guy (sub 1:48 PR) that was absolute dog poop above 1000m.

What was your 400m time? You should have been able to run a lot faster than 1:48 with a 10.88, but I guess you were lacking heavily aerobic wise
I think right now I probably could beat him in a 100 from blocks.
a bit of background I ran at a mid level D1 school as a 400/800 guy but in highschool ran the 100/200/400.
I have a 100 PR or 10.7, 21. 5 in the 200, 47.1 in the 400 and 1:49 in the 800. essentially I have pretty bad endurance and only switched to long distance recently. I’m 30 and started doing 10k/HM/Marathon a couple years ago.
After college I got into power lifting for 4-5 years and was way stronger than I ever was when I was a sprinter. Never ran a race but my 40 was 100% faster than it was when I ran track and my 100 if I trained for a few months probably would have been in the 10.5 range.
I can probably run 11 flat out of blocks right now and although Jakob is an aerobic freak, he’s not really a speed runner and I don’t think he could run 11 flat out of the blocks.

" ... should have been able to run a lot faster than 1:48 with a 10.88 ...)
You do know somewhere between (97.5 to 99.xx)% of fa.t. 10.8x 100m men cannot run sub-1:48 800m.

I'd put $10k on the line if I could rig his blocks to trip him out at the start, lol. My all out 100 from a standing start is like a 12.7 and he can do that 4 times over so zero chance of me winning against him.
i ran 9.9 100 yards jogging start in practice hand time, which "converts" to about 12. low 100m, due to hand time correction and for out of the blocks, an in actual fact, the blocks are a skill on their own, i would not know how to get up to speed at all doing that. and that would be true of most distance runners.
for the 200m time, whatever the distance runner's best time is you can subtract 0.5 seconds because they don't have the starting skill. that would be the best read on the speed.
i am 100% sure that jacob is faster, and out of the blocks he would do 22 mid high,
so that is the kind of speed that you'd have to beat.
check out wayne gretzky, who beat pele borg sugar ray leonard and was faster than Nehemiah and some ballers i think in another heat.

jogging start suggests you were holding the watch. If so there is no "hand time correction" because you didn't have to react to the start. That correction is about reaction time, if you're holding the watch you can nail the start exactly.
