It`s obvious that improving the lactate threshold is of main importance. Not base building.
Just run your cruise intervals week after week and you will reach your very best capacity.
Do tell us your cruise interval sessions Jan, I'm all ears ?

You see extreme aerobic endurance in this:
One Mile Performance3:52.28 Wind PlaceEugene, OR (USA) Date26 MAY 2018 Records
Discipline2000 Metres Performance5:24.41 Wind PlaceLillestrøm (NOR) Date13 SEP 2015 Records

I don't. I see inherent speed, but not extreme endurance.
Different years, different races and different race styles in each event. Are you an idiot or a troll?
One of them was from 2015. He is young and improving rapidly each year, so trying to compare times from one year to the next in different events is meaningless.
When he runs 10 miles in 45 minutes, then you can say he has extreme aerobic endurance.

I did 3 consecutive month easy pace + some strides base building (40-50 mpw, 9:50-10:40 pace, 47ish 10k hobbyjogger), and by the end of the 3 months, my slow AND my fast pace stayed the same at the given HR. I run all my easies on sub80% maxHR.
No improvement for 3 months... ZERO.
In breaking2 the lactate threshold of Eliud Kipchoge, Zersenay Tadese, and Lelisa Desisa were also measured. Does anyone here has those numbers to compare to Jakob?

They claimed Tadese had the best numbers they'd seen while Kipchoge didn’t perform well on a treadmill.

To be fair, 9:50-10:40 pace is fcking slow. Is that all you did for 3 months (plus strides)?

Thanks for the post.
How do the Ingebrigtsen's train their threshold? Is it stuff like 400m intervals a bit faster than threshold pace with a short recovery or longer intervals right on the threshold pace?
I guess that they also avoid intense workouts while trying to build their threshold in the off season.
Well, they train at treshold, meaning at lactate below 3.5 mmol. So they aren't really concerned with the treshold pace when they do treshold intervals, just to keep their training below 3.5, meaning its a treshold workout but not necessarily at "treshold pace" as you think of it.
I've written about their training here before, just search my name. They basically have 2 days a week (Tuesday and Thursdag) where they have long treshold intervals in the morning, and shorter treshold intervals in the evening).
Then, each Saturday they do 2x200m hills pretty hard, above treshold. They basically train like this from October until April.
So they keep lactate below 3.5 mmol, I am curious what that means regarding pace. I know people have put estimated paces up for various mmol (i.e. 4 mmol would be threshold pace or 1 hour race pace or something like that). What happens when you are doing repeats with short rest? Could you be running repeats at 10k pace but the rest keeps the lactate down? Does it depend on fitness?
Training with a lactate meter seems less common in the US so I haven't really seen anything about how it is done.

Maybe they should get out more. He isn't exactly going to run a great 5k anytime soon.

4mmol for an athlete on a session might mean a certain pace that completely differs the next time that same session is done, so attaching a specific pace is essentially nebulous. You are correct in that the rest keeps the lactate down. One of their sessions is 25x400 with 45 sec rest, performing the session beneath a specific mmol level.

Ok fine the pace changes, but I am sure there is a rough ballpark. And if they can truly keep the lactate under control, there must at least be a "feel" to the lactate level.
I just find it interesting that they have all these different workouts (25x400, 10x100, 5x2k) with similar lactates. I assume that they run the short reps faster and use the rest to keep the lactate the same, but that sort of contradicts the way some people /coaches have used certain lactate levels as a way to describe pace (2.5mmol is MP, 4mmol is T pace, etc) on these boards in the past.

Last year I know Jakob did 12x1000m intervals around 2:55/km. This was at sea level around a pond on gravel.
Thanks! That compares with Kipchoge running maybe 2:50 at altitude for about the same number, maybe a few more.
It is remarkable how they go so fast at 1500m with so little work at mile pace. They mention in the last show a 10x300m workout before European Champs where they start way too fast for Gjert's taste at 41/40, but they were supposed to run 42's at the end, and they call this ahead of time the toughest workout of the season. But to the guy above, they are not improving by only doing easy runs and strides. They are doing LT work something like five times a week, which seems to be roughly 1 hr pace.
On the loops at St. Moritz, Gjert says that Jakob started with lactate at essentially 0, but the three ended the same (I thought he said at 8), which he found remarkable, the three all synchronizing. So, he has this advantage of hardly even developing lactate at lower speeds and about the 13:17, that is nowhere near his 2018 capacity. He ran that time in a Euro champ race where he closed in 60 and faster, but he also medaled at World Junior's, beating a certain 12:43 guy, and running a very fast close to 13:20. He could almost certainly have gone 12:50s in Brussels in that race.

Yes... :(
Have been running 2 years now, but did lot's of other sports for 20+ years, running was always a crosstraining once or twice a month. Last year I started to learn about "HR control running" and "base building" and stuff like that. That was the winter method to go I put together reading (mediocre) sites.
Now I think I'm a bit smarter and know my body a bit better.

There is a ballpark. They figure out pretty quick what paces are treshold, and together with HR and measuring lactate 1-3 times each workout they quickly get a feel for what their treshold pace is, regardless of pace.
You are correct that the pace at so and so lactate changes depending on the different workouts. The coaches talking in here regarding paces etc is just trying to explain and give an easy explanation of the treshold pace. Most don't have a lactate meter, even though it surprises me its not more commonly used in College teams in The US.
