We all saw it. Jakob was unbelievably good. Jakob ran 7:17 and 3:26. Jakob has now peaked and we shall see an attempt to maintain for the next couple years followed by a slow decline. Enjoy it folks.

Odd that we have a potentially palpable refutation of you Jakob fanboys and yet you cannot see it. Let us see if Jakob can ever run faster than 3:26.73 and 7:17.55. I don’t see it, especially as the indoor tracks are so fast now.

Honestly he’s scared. He could have raced the best in the world last week at Millrose but instead decided to hold what essentially is a time trial. If he continues to avoid racing like this he’s going to keep getting beat when it really counts like he has been.
There's a chance he gets injured this year and you will gloat that you were right that he has peaked. However, Jakob opened his indoor mile today faster than his outdoor mile last spring. I think that bodes well for him having another year of personal bests and world records.

Jakob is a time trial specialist. He is so good that he can sometimes win the championships, but he is not a great strategist, partly due to physical limitations. He is a great time trialer, as good as we have seen. He peaked last year, but you can see he is pretty close to last year. This is all in keeping with my opening post. He is not improving but he is damn good, as I have said.

This did not age well.
Ummmm. Jakob has run 3:43.73, so to run 3:45, while solid for an opener, is not exactly a sign that he is improving. It smells like stagnation to the intelligent.
I think many of us are SHOCKED, shocked I tell you, that Jakob is able to run 1.87 seconds faster in an indoor mile than Yomif Kejelcha, a 5000m, 10000m and half marathon stud. This blew me away. Like wow.
