This workout filmed by Flotrack shows Jakob doing 12x400 (60sec) then 10x200 (200 jog) in Flagstaff before pre classic this Sunday. He was doing the 400s between 61 high to 63 and his he was decently low. He also states that the total volume for the day was 30k.
He also gives us some incite into racing and other parts of running. Definitely a must watch

We followed 5,000m world champion, 2-mile world record holder and Olympic 1,500m champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen as he crushed a track session at altitude in Fla...
Jakob's recent 12 x 400, 10 x 200 workout has generated a lot of buzz. What do the LRC coaches think about it? They are most impressed by something hardly anyone is talking about.

I should hope he is relaxed - in his base, after doing a morning session of 2k LT, he would do 25 x 400 in 63-64 (30sec rec). So 12 x 61 to 63 should be a walk in the park with 60sec rec.

I agree that the paces he was hitting seemed slightly slower than I would expect from a 3:43 miler. He also stated, “That was pretty tough” after the 400s. The 200s looked good, but even someone out of shape can crush 10x200m.

But the point, according to Jakob, is not to crush anything, but to be in the control. As he mentioned, he doesn't really care about the specific splits, but would adjust the effort if needed.
amazing that FloTrack posted this the day after Matt Fox (SweatElite) was ranting on his IG story about being declined to film workouts for Jakob, OAC/"CoffeeClub", various female groups in Flagstaff etc and criticising themselves for how they don't open up to media enough
FloTrack* and Track All Access stock up, Sweat Elite stock down *I still hate FloTrack for everything else they do

It's because he's in the middle of heavy training with cumulative fatigue. If he tapered for this workout (which would not make any sense), the workout would be a breeze.
As a Norwegian runner trying to deprive America’s best runners of a medal, he should not be allowed to train in the US. Train in his own country that he represents in competition.

Drop your Big Mac and go down to Flagstaff and stop him then.

Very nice. Watching him during his warmup jog in this clip I had the exact same thought as I do watching him warmup live in Eugene - you would never pick that the guy is the 3rd fastest guy ever over the 1500m/mile and especially a two time world 5000m champion - he obviously looks fit but he looks like a rower going for a jog!
But wind that speed up to 6.5-7 meters per second and there isn't a smoother guy in history. Crazy.

It appears very windy in that video and you even can hear it swirling, which matters a lot when doing a solo workout on an exposed track.
Interval workouts at 7,000 ft, even over 400 and 200, are going to be much harder than sea level, especially on short rest. You have an advantage with a one off 400 or 200 because of the thinner air, but it turns into a major disadvantage when you are talking about 6800m of work with 60 sec rests between items.
