Filip Ingebrigtsen opens up on Jakob's comeback from injury - says a "good dose of luck" has helped

A good dose of something, no doubt about that

I wonder if he's got a proper coach at this point or if he's just training with Henrik and Filip, I'm pretty sure I've seen it mentioned at one point that the brothers serve as the coaches at this point.

Not much of what Jakob does these days needs coaching. Eight months of the year, he trains the exact same way he's been training for nearly a decade now: same old threshold workouts on Tuesday/Thursday, hills Saturday, long run Sunday, with 6 mile doubles to fill everything else out.

Probably best for his team to avoid the phrase "good dose" in this context, but maybe he's trolling. If so, I like it.

Is "luck" a Norwegian word for growth hormone, or anabolic steroids?

big deal, Hocker also used "cycling"

Solid insights but am sure they never envisioned a scenario where he doesn’t medal in the 1500m Final in Paris.

He said everything has gone according to plan, so apparently 4th in the Olympic 1500m was part of the plan.

Yes he should definitely be concerned that whatever Norwegian word he used would get translated to "dose" when Rojo pops it into Google translate.

And honestly, having to sit out the indoor season - even if the majority of it was legit rest/recover, was a blessing in disguise - especially at this point in his career where he is probably in the middle of his careers peak window and his training workloads and quality surely reflect that.

Because the thing that is compromised and you have to battle the most when you are injured? It's not the actual physical thing wrong with you - it's your psychological state. That impatience and anxiety of being inactive/returning as quickly as possible and the actions that come out of that are what cause long term issues. When you are young and an elite talent, you aren't losing all those floors of base even with 3-4 months of recuperation where you are doing very little actual running.

What the heck ever became of Filip himself? He was bronze at WC 2017, and then fell off the results. Has he been constantly injured? I remember some excuses about allergies a few years ago? I used to see footage of him training with Jakob all the time, now it's mostly Jakob behind a bicycle.

Did Filip accept a post-Fancy Bears leak plea deal, whereby the authorities said, "ok, we love Jakob as the star, but we can't have ALL you brothers dominating--we'll allow Jakob to continue as long as Filip and Henrik fade into obscurity." ?????

In other words: he continues doing what his father taught him while trying to make his father a pariah.

Someone can create a good training regimen while also being physically and emotionally abusive

Filip used the Norwegian word “dose” which of course directly translated to “dose” in English (both words borrowed from old French)

Filip had a really bad reaction to the covid vaccine. He has also struggled with injuries. He showed some potential earlier this season, but then he got injured again…

"Safe and effective"!

Maybe. After all, E Africans tend to ise the words “diet” and “training” when they are speaking about heavy PED use.

You have to appreciate derogatory comments by peeps who will never reach as high a level as any of these three brothers have. 99.9% of athletes would be thrilled with 4th in the OLYS. Jakob himself was complimentary of the three medalists.
