Narve Gilje Nordås 3000 m at Karlsruhe Indoor

Gotta cash in on the indoor 3k national record bonus while he still can.

Interesting, Strand and Wolfe are now updated on All Time World All Time list in programs

Times run in 2024, obviously.

Strand and Rupp, 7:30.16/7:30.15, Strand the miler, Rupp the 5000m runner, figures that Strand would run 3:48 where Rupp ran 3:50 in the same 3k shape.

I’m just as interested in how Nillessen goes. Coming off a camp with Laros and Tim Cheruiyot in South Africa. More of an 800/1500 type I believe. If he hits a quick time watch out as last year might’ve just been him scratching the surface.

Mike Foppen should also be in shape.

Good race from Pihlström

Pihlström without a sponsor? Amazing how he runs in his club singlet.

You love to see it..Cathal Doyle did the same up to this year in his Clonliffe Harriers gear. Wearing Nike stuff tonight.

And Sean Tobin paced a diamond league in a Clonmel AC singlet

3000 m now!!

National Record 7.39.05 for Nordas

Stefan Nillesen wins also with NR 7.37.10

Training camp seems to have gone well for Nillessen - 7:37 NR win. I wonder if Laros is opening the season in Lievin?

Nordas not amazing, he did run far more aggressively than I'm used to seeing tho and still closed okay

I'm beginning to think we are all crazy for being so obsessed with track and field. We need some mental health ASAP (myself included and definitely you).

Sie ist definitiv verrückt.

Yes, I think Nillessen is the big story. Nordas, I mean on paper should be able to run in the range of a George Mills at 3,000. Obviously not expecting 7:27.9 every time as that was outstanding but a low-7:30s certainly feels like something we should see. Could tell that wasn't going to happen when Akbache gapped him at 7:30+ pace early. He can always close decently, but the second placer Mathew Kipchumba Kipsang while a perfectly fine athlete (who won't sniff a Kenyan team) should not be in front of him and matching his kick in a 3K.

Are you referring to a woman? If not, back to the conjugation tables.

Yeah the other possible concern is that Nordas's training partner Per Svela DNF, so not sure what's his story but they were also both recently training in South Africa
