There would be, if he were healthy. But he's not, and with no end in sight. It's getting late early.

The unfortunate thing that few (any?) distance runners at the top of the game ever come back from a persistent injury like this stronger than before. There are many examples of this being the first step of their decline. So the way I see it, he has two viable choices here.
1. Shut it down fully for as long as it takes to be fully healthy. Rest of the year, if that's what it takes. That means no running at all.
2. Put his eggs fully into the Paris basket, realizing it might be his last chance at another Olympic gold. Train full strength through the pain, hopefully get his gold, and retire a double Olympic champ.
What he's doing now is the worst of both worlds. He's too compromised to do well in Paris, and he's also not letting himself heal.
Yeah I'd much prefer that he shuts down his 2024 season, gets fully healthy and has a great remainder of his career from 2025 onwards.
Shutting down an olympic season? The things I read on this website I swear to god...
Dear Khamis. As humorous as your "contributions" are, can I suggest getting treatment or finding a hobby that doesn't involve electronics, computers or the Internet. It would likely be good for you.
already doping using PEDs

Dear RunLuppa, I kinda agree with you here actually. Jakob needs to act in direct opposition to his lust for Olympic Gold because right now there is obviously a priority that is ahead of Olympic gold that of which is the recovering from his Achilles Injury!
I know when to accelerate praise for you and when to retrieve them and this is one instant where I really like you!

He should only be doing number 1. Number 2 belongs to a system of morality of a man/woman who prioritizes the needs and urges of their FLESH as opposed to those of their SOULLLL!!!
Thank you :)
My treatment is made up of conductor ethernet wires and cables, analogue over digital, DC over AC, soul over spirit, patience over lust, Scripture, Sun, flora etc. Are you familiar with these?
He's cooked.

Blocking him makes wonders. Trolls should be somewhat entertaining or believable, not just tiring and poorly executed.
Agreed, I hate to admit this but an Achilles tendon injury 'damn pain' 6-7 months out from goal race is cooked!!! We need to get Jakob to shut down an Olympic season and show the world how morally untouchable he is towards temptation of the flesh. We don't need a Jakob who will fail at Paris quite obviously make that mistake and learn a lesson that has been repeated so many times by previous top athletes.
i think hocker was out with achilles injuries in march and april last year. so all is not necessarily lost.
Yes Hocker was beset with Achilles injury for an entire year actually. It took him that long to get back to not even his best. I believe Hocker had been vaccinated with mRNA while the anthropogenic RF and EMF exposure had always been there long before he got the mRNA vaccine so like Jakob he got his curse of injury after the vaccination albeit much earlier and quickly manifested than Jakob.
