Jakob Ingebrigtsen vs. Kilian Jornet in a 5K race on a permanent 25% incline

Remi bonnet is the new uphill king. Pikes peak record, 13min flat 5k on the resume

Remi has never broke 14 for 5k. Stop lying

Info I got from this forum!

Kilian destroys Jakob, muscles work differently at 25%

It’s essentially a stair climbing contest. I forget the angle but at some point it becomes more efficient to walk.

Kilian wins easily.

Kilian wins easily. Remember, KJ runs repeat 13min 5ks after a vertical k warmup. We know this because he says so. Just because KJ got chicked, beaten by children and 17 local Norwegian club runners when he tried to do a 10k road race, doesn't mean that he wouldn't easily beat JI over any distance on any course.

Do y'all not remember Jakob's trail race debut where he could not finish and his dad had to carry him?

This old news is well known. Jakob is terrible on steep uphills. Physically almost collapsed and beaten by a lot of hobby joggers in a hill climb race.

What about running back down? I think Kilian would have an even bigger advantage.

What if we added some of those flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz as another variable?
