Jakob Ingebrigtsen Flagstaff Track Workout

"...once the endorphins starts (sic) to release, then it's a good day...one perk of being a runner...getting high every day."

200/400 repeats, described by Jakob as "a very safe session." Solo, no workout partners.

He looks relaxed I think pre will be a race for the ages.

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.

he also implied his goal pace was a low 3:26 in the 1500m

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

*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.

Check out Jakob's right knee at 00:25. That must be from a nasty fall?

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.

He always looks so relaxed even nearing his top end speed.

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.

Was this Workout done at 7000 ft? If so, this guy is gonna break 343 and 7:20 this season or the next. I mean, he makes these paces look so easy.

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.

Yawn. We already know he’s a workout warrior and time trial titan. But will he ever win another 1500 gold medal? Probably not.

SweatElite's Katir video from Sierra Nevada is gold

I don't think you know what that term means.
