Burned out and forgotten with the amount he races and trains. Probably will get injured when he's nineteen.

Well, you are wrong, but not knowing anything about him, his training and the people around him, I can see why you think like this.

There are no special physiologies. -
See Alan Webb

He's actually starting to under perform. With his mile and 5k time, he should be running like sub-7:50
Not a good sign. -

This. He's already having the onset of it. -
We all know he could run 8-flat no problem. I wanna know what he ran for the 400m?

How can I enter this race? Is it just stapling something 3000 times? Or is it like the 3000 steeplechase, but instead of steeplechase barriers you just have to jump over staples? -

No. Its actually jumping over 3000 staples, which comes to around 7.5 feet. Not that hard -

If true, he'll never be able to compete over a tactical 1500m like Rio where several guys ran 50.x for the last lap. Better think about moving up to the 10k. -

Fortunately he gets to grow up first before attempting that. -

Can someone tell me why we are talking about at 13:35 guy running 8:00? That's horrible. When you run 13:35, you hit 3k in 8:08.
I'm more interested in what he ran for the 400. Anyone know?

PS. The coolest PR of Jakob is his 1500 steeple.
Ran 4:10 last year in it.
Would that be a cool race to watch? Jager vs Simpson but Jager has to steeple. I guess he'd kill her wouldn't he? -
Great question, Rojo. I'd guess something sub-52. Gonna say, I don't know, 51.03. What do you think he's capable of?

Of course he's going to get faster, but he's running borderline world-class 1500m/mile times and he can't even manage one lap at 800m WR pace, which makes me think his highest potential is in the longer distances. He ran 1:49.x, right? Great for 16 years old, but not so amazing for a 3:56 miler. -
easy workout for Jakob
