FILIP INGEBRIGTSEN: "Jakob is loaded with training. I’m dreading what he’ll come up with this summer.”

Yes, Filip - I bet he is "loaded".

Yes, Armstronglivs - I bet you can't resist a Jakob thread.

This time last year he was coming off injury and still dropped big PBs in the summer. I think we will be in for a treat this summer...

Did you check out Jakob’s garage tour?

if Jacob trajectory holds true, this will be the peak, where all the wild projections come true.

the next generation will have to wait a year or two. as well as the big 3.

and the statement about outdoor track, implies correctly that the indoor is preparation with live ammunition.

regarding PEDs, none of the big 4 are on my blatant watch list. which is what I go by, I assume everybody is doing hacks that might me banned in the future.

in fact there is a very long lineup of natural concentrates nutraceuticals with protocol that work are coming into play, and infact, there is an explosion of usable and mature information coming out, amongst the tremendous volume of BS from that portion of the population that chooses to be turds in the punch bowl, trying their best to mess up the finest party. best to toss those fools out asap in any setting.

How much faster than 7:17.55, do you think he can run? A guy with his base can comeback from injury in a hurry, and he was obviously at 100% by mid-July of last year.

Good lord it's ludicrous to even think about.

I mean even last year I think he could've knocked off another second or so if the splits were even and it was cooler with less wind. And now he's supposed to be on a whole other level...?

It feels insane to even propose this but maybe 7:15?

This is purely hypothetical because there's no way he runs another record attempt. But 7:15 doesn't sound impossible to me. Absolutely wild.

Neither can you - unless you only come here for me.

Filip said much the same sort of thing before Jakob's HM attempt.

Probably around 7:12

And I think he can run 12:19 for 5k

No, he didn’t.

Link?

Sub-63 half incoming, get the banner page up on Letsrun!

More seriously, I hope he is in top shape, would love to see a crack at the WR from 1500-5000 this year, and Tokyo champs should be excellent given the strong start to the season for many!

Prove it.

If true, nothing short of an outdoor 1500m WR is a success for him this year - anything short of that and it’s “just another year.”

He will finish the season with world records in the 1500m (3:25.7), Mile (3:42.6) and 5000m (12:31.1 with a big negative split). He won't attempt to lower his 3000m world record but will be capable of low 7:16.

He will win the 5000m at the World Championships in Tokyo in the 13:08-13:12 range and I'm going to predict a silver medal in the 1500m in 3:28.2. He has fantastic closing ability but can't seem to truly get his tactics in the 1500m just right.

At the World Championships post-race interviews he'll allude to trying a 10000m or two next year (a time trial and probably for the European Championships), but will still mainly run 1500m-5000m on the circuit.

All of this to go along with his indoor 1500m and Mile records and European Indoor double and World Indoor 1500m win will make 2025 a banner year for him and athletics in general.

Armstronglivs will continue to pollute every Ingebrigtsen thread with 0/10 trolling attempts because god forbid one of the best track runners in history have fans and ignore all of Jakob's feats throughout the year and focus solely on him narrowly losing the 1500m title, in addition to having to walk during the Copenhagen Half Marathon from last year. He can't use the 12:48 argument anymore as Jakob has run almost 18 seconds faster than that. When many point out his wrong predictions and inhumanly stupid remarks he will say you're obsessed with him and an egotist like Jakob and Trump.

Justanothercuriousdude will have essay length comments that don't really go anywhere and will say he's a fan of Jakob yet all posts are critical of him and will continue to support Armstronglivs 0/10 comments.
