Why start a thread when you have offered nothing? You have told us nothing new. This is really getting out of hand.

Also OP you obviously don’t know the sport very well as Jakob did NOT go out at world record pace. Please learn something before your next post.

He went out with the leaders who were running at wr pace agreed to beforehand.

I'm still not a fan of Jakob but I admire his fearlessness. Jacob's 1/2 marathon wasn't bad considering he is probably just the 2nd track runner (1st being L. Gidey) in recent years going out at WR pace and still finish the race. He passed 10km in 27:27 NR and still had 7 miles to navigate and yes he faded badly but great attempt for a 1500/5000m man. It also shows that he definitely could be a medal contender in an Olympic or World 10000m race. He would be easy to root for if he just wasn't so OVERLY brazen 👄.

Instead of constantly crying about drug use among the athletes, maybe you should actually pay attention to the races before commenting and revealing your colossal ignorance, an ignorance that rivals VIPAM’s, and particularly unbecoming when one considers the unwarranted arrogance you both exhibit. Jakob’s first 5000m was like 13:53, which is MUCH slower than half marathon world record pace. His 10000m split, which really was the end of Jakob’s attempts to stay with the lead pack, was 27:27, also slower than world record pace. You’re welcome.

Another ignorant poster, but you guys are the majority it seems. Jakob cannot come close to 26:00.

He ran with the leaders, who asked for a wr pace. Even if they dropped off it, it was way beyond Jakob "Walking Man" Ingebrigtsen, who was done after 10k.

Again they did not drop off world record pace. They were never on it.

That was the pace they asked for. He went with them. But only for a short distance, since he collapsed like a spent hobby jogger past the 10k mark. The "GOAT".

You seem to get tunnel vision. They ran a certain pace. It was slower than world record pace. You made a rookie mistake of saying they went out in world record pace because you heard that this was requested. It is very important to stick to the facts of what happened, and not what you imagined happened based on what you had heard.
