He’ll transition from high mileage to moderate mileage to lower mileage with some different sessions feathered in to provide more of an anaerobic stimulus. He’ll also have the benefit of more racing.
The cards are on the deck now. Jakob doesn't have the extra gear.
It’s called peaking for the olympics, it is common sense. Please use intelligence before posting again.
Yes it’s common sense. And everyone in that race Kerr included are peaking for the Olympics. I get the feeling that some think that Jacob was training through while Kerrs entire season was to peak at Pre. PS Jacob didn’t travel half way around the world to use a diamond league race as a train through rust buster. He was ready to race and got beat.
Spinal Tap lead guitarist, Nigel Tufnel explains the importance of going to 11...2021 update: I'm now planning to actually make something of this channel, so...
Delusional much? Jakob stayed behind Kerr to MATCH his gear, as a dry run. Especially after rounds Jakob will have more in his aerobic tank AND have a sharper final gear. Have you ever even raced? It's plain as day.

Yes he got beat, but training to peak for a championship can go different ways for two athletes depending on what happens. And no, don’t pretend that he wasn’t sick and just started running 2 months ago. He was most certainly training through this race and in his own words, pushed the specific work back as much as possible for this race.
Again Jakobs first race off an injury and looked bad out there. Didn't/couldnt get out and uncomfortable the whole time. Still ran 3:45 and didn’t give an inch to Kerr. If I were Kerr I would be worried right now.

Right, because that’s how it worked last year. After rounds, Jakob had so much more in the tank than Kerr did.

So what did El Guerrouj do in two weeks to beat Lagat back in 2004?
He lost by almost the exact same margin in Zurich 2 weeks before Athens and managed to turn the tables. Jakob (if he's going to) has almost 4 times as much time.
Maybe he will, maybe he won't. Maybe Kerr is simply a better 1500m runner than him now - maybe not. But the fact that so many people think that this is the end of Jakob based on one race at the end of May - his first damn race in what, 8 months? You guys can't be serious.

I was able to find a recording of that race and wow the pace making was awful. 52 high through the first 400. These guys could have ran 3:25 but would always go out too fast.

He didn’t travel half way around the world, he’s been training at Flagstaff for a long time already.
