Yared grew up in Kentucky running 30 mile weeks until he was 18 and now he’s run a 3:43 mile. Jakob was running 100 mile weeks and competing in diamond league races at 16 and has also run a 3:43 mile. Imagine if Yared had been training like Jakob from a young age.

If Yared had trained like Jakob, maybe, and I do mean maybe, he could run 3:42.
Imagine he ran in California wrote:

If Yared had trained like Jakob, maybe, and I do mean maybe, he would be injured.

he would have endup in Oregon where they would have run him to the ground. This happened for a reason. A good reason. He's beating Jakob soon and he'll have his usual smile after winning.
Yared is 100% more talented than Jakob. As Jakob has stated, he is a science experiment by his father.
Yared had a pacer for 1.609 meters. But yes, very talented.
maybe, maybe not.
yared is about the level jakob was at as a 20 year old. more work may or may not make him much better.
would coe have been better with Jakob's system of miles?
No
So bizarre. The forum obsession with "talent" is the strangest thing. They literally race each other several times a season.
Was it HRE who wrote in here "the more I ran, the more 'talented' I became"? Always remembered that one because it mirrored my development.

Yared was a thing only this year. Its too short and ended with a flop in the WC.
The two runners are the most supported in the world and the comparison stand here.
Talented, oh yes, but hasn't that total craze you need to have, to get at the level of Jakob.
Yared has the GOAT lean! Dude got the neck of a goose. He has never lost a race that came down to a hundredth of a second.
Certainly nowhere near the talent of Jakob. That's like asking if cooper Teare is a way better talent than kipchoge cuz his 1500/mile is much better.
LRC note. We know this is a bit off topic and want to keep this thread about Nuguse/Jakob but we do need to point this out as a matter of face:
Cooper Teare mile pb with super shoes - 3:50.17
Eliud Kipchoge mile pb without super shoes - 3:50.40
Yes. Anyone who runs like they're trying to balance a cake in front of them while squeezing through a narrow passagway and runs that fast has talent.

Duh he is. All the jokes about stuff being rupp certified but Jakob is essentially mid distance rupp with even more resources and ability
Yeah it's kind of embarrassing to think you put in all this training since such a young age only to finish half a second faster in a mile than a guy who has run a fraction of the miles you have.
If Yared did quadruple threshold since he was 7 he'd be a 2:59 miler
It's not like he had any control over his talent though, it's not really embarrassing just how he was born. Some people also do a lot better low mileage and who knows, maybe he would've gotten injured with more miles
Gee, nobody ever heard of gold medal in "talent"...
Damn imagine being like 5-0 versus a guy who somehow has more talent than you.
