2025 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS SPORTS NEWS NEWS FROM ROGALAND

The association confirms: Has entered Jakob Ingebrigtsen in the 5000 meters
The sports director of the Norwegian Athletics Association, Erlend Slokvik, confirms to NRK that Jakob Ingebrigtsen has been entered for Friday's 5000 meters.
- I have been told to enter him, so I have done so now. It has been going well the last few days here, so as of today it looks like he will start, says Slokvik.

There has been a lot of uncertainty around the Sandnes runner after he crashed out in the 1500 meter trial heat, but now it seems that there has been some improvement.
- He had a very good training session on Tuesday, and it shows that he is actually physiologically good. Then there is always the question of to what extent the pain in the heel affects his running, but at least it did not in training yesterday, says national team doctor Ove Talsnes to NRK, who cannot confirm whether Ingebrigtsen will compete or not.

Talsnes is unsure whether it was the injury at all that caused the 24-year-old to fail the 1500-meter race.
– I don't think that's what stopped him then. It was a day where the body didn't work, without us fully knowing why. Sometimes we see that you can have bad days in such conditions.

On Tuesday, Ingebrigtsen shared a message on Instagram in which he indicated that he was ready for Friday's distance.
"Here we go again. Soon 5000 meter attempt," the Norwegian wrote.

NRK spoke to coach and brother Filip Ingebrigtsen the same day. He did not want to say too much about the Sandnes runner's possible participation.
– He needs to get a little better response in training than he felt on Sunday for him to run, so he has a couple more days to decide, said big brother Ingebrigtsen.
– He loves running, but if it's as hopeless as it was on Sunday, then there's not much to run with in the 5000 either. There has to be a change from Sunday to Friday for him to run, he continued.

That doesn't sound reassuring at all!

I’m pretty sure the interview with Filip was before and not after “the very good training session” (It was merged in from an older interview I have read), so I think Filip would go from a somewhat negative approach to a far more positive if asked today…. And Jakob himself very clearly stresses that he might have had an unusual bad day in the 1500m (judged to what he has done in his training). And Filip said in another interview that Jakob now is inconsistent, and varies from some quite good session to some quite bad ones…

Conclusion: Maybe it can go both ways…

The hay is in the barn. One workout between the 1500 and now isn’t gonna do much at this point.

re: wannabepro25

Seeing as it's a 5000m and not a 1500m, and if he has a good day instead of a bad one, then maybe he will give a somewhat better showing. That's certainly possible.

But given what we saw in the 1500m, I sincerely doubt that he currently has what it takes to be in any serious contention in the 5000m either. He's clearly had far too little specific training at competition speeds and just far too little actual running in general. The guy we saw on Sunday was just miles away.

But it does test the foot. Everyone has been through this themselves, including you. You just never know how and when an injury will be ready. I think he's probably at least 2-3 weeks away though.

Keep in mind he post the 18th fastest time in the heats out of 60 runners. If he ran a 3:41.88 in the opening heat I would be inclined to agree with you. I think you give him the benefit of the doubt for the 5000m by chalking up his 1500m performance being a combination of shaking off rust and also being a bad day.

He only returned to the track in August and most likely has been focusing on 5k work after building his aerobic base for months due to injury. I can't imagine he put more work into his 1500m prep after seeing so many guys post 3:27-3:29 this season before coming into the worlds. We all assumed the 5000m would be the best suited race for him coming off a long injury stint.

Not optomistic following the 1500m heats but wouldn't be something is he came back and won the 5k.

I have zero expectations but it seems like Jakob has remained surprisingly optimistic about the 5000, even immediately after his terrible (his words) 1500. This enthusiasm has continued through the week thus far. Who knows...

re: justanothercuriousdude

Hi I'm running in a 5000m soon. If i can have a good sessiom in training a few days before the race, what time can I run on the day? On the one hand, it is in Tokyo where its hot and humid, my achilles is still a bothering me, and I have not raced recemtly. On the other hand I'm well rested from not making it through to the final of the 1500m. I'm also in a good mood because my enemies did not medal there. But then again I could have won so its a disappointment. Also, some of them will be in the upcoming race. Any advice?

re: justanothercuriousdude

Jakob is clearly not himself right now, but a couple things. Runners can really level up after ONE rust buster.

And he also very possibly would have advanced to the Semis if he ran the race like a man in his current fitness, instead of immediately giving up 10-15 meters like he is able to when he's peak Jakob.

He basically tried to get away with his strategy from 2023 Semis when he lit the track up on the final 400 after sitting near the back, boxed in through 1100-1200.

Copium overdosing is rampant on the board this week!

The hay may be in the barn physiologically, but psychologically it can be very beneficial to actually see that hay, take a little of the hay out to more closely examine it, and give a little bit of that hay to feed your animals so you know that they will thrive on it when necessary

It is always mentally beneficial to do a shakeout where you feel the power of your hay without using it.
