Kingebrigtsen will run sub 3.26, sub 3.43, 12.30, sub 26, sub 57 and sub 2. hours

Not sure how what you said makes him "clean".. Everyone "stagnates" at a point in their career, Ingebrigsten hasn't. Every year he's consistently gotten faster and faster. Sure you could say he's a genetic lottery winning freak. But he just broke an infamously doped world record by 3 seconds. Not to worry, everyone at the professional level in this sport dopes. WADA sucks, leaders at WADA knows it, they speak out about how unfair the doping policy is. "You'd have to be a fool to get caught".

P.S.

Ingebrigsten has most likely failed test given to him by the Norways Track and Field system but they wouldn't bat an eye to their wunderkind

Sub 57 💀💀😭😭😭

I know they act like he's the second coming of Jesus.

Jacob is a great talent but let's be realistic.

Jacob this and Jacob that. Jacob will walk on water one day and save humanity.

Man, the fanboys on here is funny and embarrassing at the same time.

Yes, we must all bow down and get on our knees in front of Jakob Ingebrigsten. He should be knighted for his service, not just to athletics, but to the world.

Jakob will solve all the worlds problems, there will be no more world hunger once Jakob retires from distance running, he is just so amazing that he will be able to end world hunger for ever within 1 year of his retirement.

Jakob will cure cancer by getting everyone to do double threshold everyday, but he will still be the best at every single event in the world, 60 metres - marathon, as well as all the swimming and every other sport. At the 2036 Olympics he will win every single gold medal in every single sport. His competitors will bow down in front of him.

Jakob will also study medicine next year, a man of Jakob's many talents should aim to share them with the world and make the world a better place.

Jakob will also be the first man on mars, and will also be the richest person ever.

He will even be able to grow his height to 6 foot 5 inches, just because his mind is so strong and he can do anything he sets his mind to.

He'll also become the male taylor swift,and sell millions of records,and then come out as an extra terrestrial with advanced powers.

sub 26 would be wild, would love to see it

He has the 2 mile and 3k records. I believe the 1500 and 5k records are definitely attainable, particularly the 5. The 10k is debatable (currently anyway). The marathon is, at the moment anyway, a stretch - lot of pounding, fueling issues, hydration etc etc. But Kipchoge did OK moving up. I'm curious about the steeple....

I think it’s about 50:50 he does this

I still don't get why Jakob says his best event is the half marathon when he's never raced the distance and never runs more than 12 miles continuously in training. I can't see him running a sub 2 marathon, sub 57 HM, or sub 26 10k with his current training. His training is designed to get him ready to run fast in the 1500 and 5000, not grind it out over the long distances.

He does not have the build nor efficiency, running form etc to even break the 10km...stop dreaming. Let's see how he goes at the 5km WR first

He

Too excited....he'll then move down and go sub 1.40.

Where can I be on him not going sub 2?

jakobs best distance being the half-marathon is sorta unrealistic, but I could be wrong. I don't know if it is just his size, but I have trouble seeing him run too far under the 10k 26:11 WR, or even going sub57:30, sub2:01:00. I guess I could see him run low 60s forever on a track, but still sub 26 seems crazy when the guy has never even ran sub 27 (tbf he ran 27:5x in a road 10k at 18).

These are the following times that I wouldn't be shocked to see this season or next, given his current fitness.

800: 1:44.low-mid
1500: 3:25.hi
3000: 7:15
2-mile: 7:50
5000m: 12:32
10000m: 26:19
HM: low 58 in Valencia
I'm not even gonna talk about the marathon before he runs a real HM

Y’all are just writing down a bunch of numbers and drooling over em. I’ll believe it as I see it!

He’s never run over 12 miles in training??

Well, he just took down the oldest/best record in the world, so there is a good start. He also has the 2K and 2M world records. Three down...

p.s. I don't know if he'll get the insane times the OP posted but I would wager that when he retires, he will have surpassed Said Aouita and Geb as the runner with the best range in the world. Aouita was a solid 800-to-10km guy. Geb was a 1500-to-marathon star. Jakob can better their times (or already has).

It will happen. The greatest runner ever.
