so is jakob only a 3:48 mile guy without super shoes?

3.47 probably.

3:46.mid

3:43.73
➡️
3:45.12
take it or leave it

If you are comparing with 80's and 90's.

1.5s for super shoes.

1.5s for Mondo V.3 tracks.

1s for wavelights.

1s for GPS watches, online advice etc.

He passes the eyeball test as a 3:47 guy

Jakob already benefited from the Fast Tracks and supershoes in the Olympic final Tokyo 2021.

These fanboys refuse to believe that their idole is an ordinary runners boosted by trainings and new tecxhnologies.

Here a proof that everything started by 2021:

Josh Kerr progression
2019 3:32.52
2020 3:34.53
2021 3:29.05
National Stadium, Tokyo (JPN)

From 80s standards Jakob is a 3:48 miler at best.

Yeah downvote ... that's the only thing you know aside from spamming LRC forum with Jakob threads

And with such robust, historical data, how could we argue with you!

12th position at U20 World Cross Country 2019

and this final that show the robustness of the young prodigy

You're numbers are way too ambitious and you also failed to do the deduction for improved drug testing vs. the 80's and 90's.

*Your

Note these performances happened before 2020 when COVID and supershoes/fast track started to flow.

And add to this he was training in a almost perfect environment since the age 8.

That means that with the super shoes, El Geurrouj could have run 3:38 for the mile.

And with drugs, a 3:34 mile.

3:29 low, 3:47.5 type guy. And it is easy to forget how insanely fast that is given the inflation of times over the past few years. You are right there with all the EPO athletes of the early 00 and blood packers of the 80s as one of the best ever…

Iaaf.org really needs a flag to remove dopers from their search list😂

With modern day testing, he would be DNS for the mile.

Lol, you can’t be serious With this bs. Using one race from 2019 when he was a teen as an example. Grab some popcorn and Watch 5000m 2021 in florence to see what 2 years of maturing does. Jakob of today would dust every guy in the 2019 field in whatever spikes

Im not sure about the mile,but he could probably run about 3.29 in the 1500,without super shoes,or in the 3.29 range.

Osama ER Radouani (age 17) did better time in Cross Country (8 KM) this year than did Jakob in 2019 at age 19.

To say we are facing a generation of fake runners powered with new technologies.
