After watching Team Ingebrigtsen, I noticed that the brothers at times were amused by their publicity and I started to wonder if they have ever posted on Letsrun.
We know for sure that Jakob is familiar with Lestrun, last year he somewhat jokingly mentioned that Rojo has strange opinions.
I'd say the chances of them reading the boards at one point or another are pretty high, but I could also see some of the brothers trolling, particularly Henrik.
Do you think any of them have ever posted here?
Henrik is that you?
They live in Norwegia. Why would they visit an American, English language website?

Yes, I post here all the time. Funny how obsessed you guys are with me.
Hi. I'm a 1500 runner and have good PRs. But I haven't done well in an unpaced race - I haven't won one in over 2 years. What can I do?
Maybe just focus on the 5k instead
Runners have a lot of free time. While most famous people quickly and emphatically claim "I never read that stuff," wouldn't you? Probably.
Pretty sure that Gjert has tbh...
I'm sure they have posted here. Maybe not recently, since they've gotten big. But early on, before breaking out? 100% guaranteed. Hobbyjoggers!
do they even speak the language? wrote:

world war 2 settled the question of which major European power Norway would be a vassal of. All these countries in between Germany and England had to learn English.
No.
They all have significant others. Jacob hates the brojos.
Can you guys tell me what my 5k should be if ran 2xmile in 3:57 with zero recovery?

I've never believed any runner, or at least any US runner, who says they never read Letsrun. I'd believe "I don't read it all the time" or "I used to read it but it's too toxic so I mostly stopped" or even "yeah I lurk there all the time I just don't post." Especially now with how internet/phone obsessed we've all become, even people like me who should be old enough to have resisted it. The athletes of the age-range to be pros in 2023 are the exact people who scroll on their phones all day, and a lot of such scrolling is on "me me me" stuff like social media. Imagine adding additional "me me me" content in the form of being frequently talked about on a forum like this. I defy any young person to completely resist looking.

Well probably about 12:38 or so if you had pacemakers but I thought you were the pacemaker.

Its possible they come here sometimes,but not often.Theyre too busy training,competing,and living their lives to spend time here.

Just to finish that thought, I'd think the same of Jakob -- not American obviously but speaks English, is very plugged in to the internet / social world through his family's show and so forth, a Zoomer... he's been here. Is he here a lot? That's harder to say, and no real way to know unless he openly posted here.
