Jakob Ingebrigtsen: Measures higher treshold than ever before

anyone here still complaining about not being impressed by him after Tokyo?

You should probably learn how to use capitals and how to structure sentences correctly. You write like a baby and the OP, from that perspective, has a better command of English than you do as his sentences are more complex.

Its the usual hatred/jealousy of Scandinavians on here...

Seriously?

You show all the grace of a constipated snake.

BTW: Don't criticize the English of someone when you can't even spell it.

This is interesting. So for a session of 400 repeats are they running say around 5k pace? For kilometers around 10k pace? For 2 kilometers around 15k pace? Being able to run different paces but still stay under threshold seems to be the key imo.

In contrast whenever I’ve lined up for repeat 400s the coach always pushed mile pace. Whenever I’ve lined up for Kilometers the coach pushed 5k pace. These are hard workouts. But instead we could of run those paces for shorter Intercessions which would keep us under threshold. Thus in the long term improving our aerobic capacity to a greater degree?

Yes and the main reason for doing it that way is that you can run more at faster paces without requiring extra recovery. If I've run 10x1k in a session, I can feel a difference in my legs if I've kept it under or over LT.

It's about working on the aerobic system but also about stringing consistent days and weeks and months of good quality training together without needing days off and sub-par workouts.

I'm the one who's sorry, cause I quoted the wrong guy. You never committed the crime I accused you for.

All this high tech mumble jumble a out advanced training techniques reeks of sky sports and cycling.

Everyone is aware that Kipchoge's marathon WR is at 2:53/K pace or 20.8kph right? So his vLT is obviously greater than that! FFS.

Maybe there's a reason he never coached an athlete to the world-class level.

What matters is lactate levels at given paces.

maybe this is why his team has severe injury levels.

I proof read my posts before posting. I learned how to do this in grammar school as most Americans do. You all do realize for some posters on this site english is their second language. Maybe cut some foreign posters a little slack.

I appreciate hearing from people outside of North America and overlook spelling errors. My wife is from Lithuania. Talk about a hard language to learn. I know a few swear words but that's about it. And if I had to spell them I'd be "šūdas out of luck."

To you foreign posters, please keep posting and pay no attention to the grammar nazis. There are many lurkers who like reading interesting posts from around the globe who are afraid of getting flamed for posting. But don't stop posting because of some of the "asilai" who have nothing better to do than correct your spelling.

Peace To All,

Happyjack!

Maybe that's a myth?
