As per inside info the pace will be 2'42"/km, 27:00 through 10k. Aregawi will be pacing until 15k if possible, weather looks almost perfect, it's on!
You have posted some interested inside info on the Ingebrigtsens in the past.
Years ago, you posted a series of workouts that you said that Jakob did before Monaco. They were extremely specific and the paces all seemed plausible and consistent with the training style, but the training was quite different from the previously published articles about Henrik, Filip, and Jakob's in-competition training pre-2019. When the Coros data came out this year, the training zone data matched exactly the kind of the training that you had posted, but not the training from the previously published articles. For me that gave credibility that what you posted was likely to be accurate.
Do you happen to have more data like that, and do you happen to know if their in-competition training still resembles the training that you posted a few years ago?

Yes it's been a while. I don't have recent information of exact workouts or training blocks. However his training didn't change, is a simple yet hard running philosophy.
Jakob is an aerobic monster with little talent in his anaerobic capabilities(raw speed). They definitely increased mileage and his long runs, especially in the building phase.
1.Threshold work again and again
2.Specific VO2 max work especially during the track season
3.Critical velocity training aka velocity at maximal oxygen uptake or maximal aerobic speed
4. Anaerobic work aka fast reps with long recoveries
5.Lots of runs at Golden aerobic zone
6.Recovery runs
The proportions and the right intensity at each point of the season is an art in the making. He's been raised to be the most efficient aerobic freak he can be. I'm not saying he beats Kiplimo on sunday but he'll be good, really really good.
Surely it's for Kiplimo! Aregawi is represented by the same Federico Rosa as Kiplimo. But my gut says Jakob will try hang on in there. 2'42" pace will seem slow in the first part, quite a faster jog. Will see
As good as he is, dropping a 57-flat off four months of 1500 training would be epic. Is this race being streamed?
A guy that is simultaneously in 3:27 and 57:00 shape, could scorch the 5 and 10 records. Maybe to the tune of 12:25 and 25:50.
I mean, I wouldn't rule it out, but the proof is in the doing. It just seems a little strange that he's skipping any serious attempt to go for the 5000 record this year, which would seem like the next logical step, in order to go straight for the half marathon.
Jakob's reply to NRK (Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation), is that running today's 1500 isn't ideal, and specifically being asked about Copenhagen was "I don't know", and "If I feel good, then maybe"
