YARED NUGUSE is the future of the 1500

The question is what else does he take. Ritz is a AlSal boy. Let's face it that team is not clean

I think he was better in 2021 and 2022 than his times show. The 3.34 race in 2021 was done solo, which is very impressive. He can maybe challenge Jakob, but as of now he is 2 seconds slower which is alot at this level.

The Goose is 24. He has about 3 or 4 more years in his prime at 1500m. The clock is ticking.

LOL the downvotes. Jakob army is against you.

I agree that Neguse could be the bigger challenger of Jakob in the next years because he has talent and has a big country behind him.

Ethiopians/Kenyan have a lot of talents but they are not organized and their errors of management of talents are exploited by advanced countries with more material resources.

Typical examples I have in mind:

Kipketer, Mo Farah, S. Hassan

No he isn't.he is one year older than Jakob. He may have a great future ahead of him, but how is that the future of the 1500? That belongs to the 16-18 year old crushers.

Training age matters: Jakob has had far more years of methodical threshold training under his belt along with very high volume weekly mileage. With only one year of that, Yared has made a huge breakthrough which is a sign of much more progress to come.

Don’t know how true this is. Faith Kipyegon is pushing 30 and very obviously in her prime.

Faith? You think she’s getting all these WRs without any “ help”? Hilarious

I hadn’t thought of that. Team Ingebrigtsen is going to need to find someone new to be a training partner. the other Norwegian Nordas would be a natural fit but I assume too much rivalry.

The timing and overall lack of dependency on caffeine is essential for this to work.

Say you are new to caffeine and really never drink it...morning of a 10:00am race you take an espresso infused drink...this works.

Have a coffee everyday and do the same = less effective. You have to be wired and 1-3 hours into this buzz. Might help with some sort of lack of sleep so you hit delirium as you get the wired effect.

Again, timing is essential.

Is Njuse clean?

What all this says is that you really want him to do 3:26 but it won't happen. Nuguse isn't that kind of talent. The fact that he went from 3:33 to 3:29 actually desserve your point. You can't improve forever, especially big improvments, especially when you are already close to the limit of human body. Maybe, if everything goes right for him he will be able to do 3:28 in the future. Not better than that.

You also don't take into account that to achieve 3:29, Yared needs Jakob to pace him 1500m. Jakob can do 3:27 with 400m on hiw own. Yared would have a hard time breaking 3:30 without Jakob.

Newjuice is way too juiced right now and still not close to top

run

This is too far the other way. This was his second slightly tactical 3:30/3:47 with no Jakob. There was only one pacer and only one athlete went with him in McSweyn. He is early in his career training like a professional. There is certainly room for improvement.

It's a lot easier to get to the top than it is to stay at the top. That said, I hope he keeps improving. He's right on the cusp of 3:28, which I can't believe an American is running. With his 3:47i, 3:29.02, and 3:30 DL win, it's safe to say he's not just a flash in the pan. Judging by Hoare's last couple seasons, there's no reason to think this will be his peak either. He's in a great group, has great support, and has immense talent.

His indoor mile showed that he had gold medal potential. A 25 last 200 in a 3:30 equivalent race is spectacular. He's certainly not the favorite (idk if anyone will be during Jakob's reign of terror), but he's got a crazy close, and his PR is already faster than Wightman's. Another year of development and he could very well be challenging Jakob in the Olympics.

first DL win in 3:30 proves again that Nuguse can win and thrive in many different race styles. Obviously still a ways to go to compete with Jakob but he keeps on impressing me at every outing! No small feat to beat such a quality field.

What do you know about his training in college vs. his training now?

(I'm not necessarily challenging what you're saying. Just would like to know more about what he did before, what he's doing now that has led to his big improvement, and why.)
