I would say maybe around 1,49

sounds about right.
1:47/1:48
1:46 for their rust buster.
1.48,5
1:46.
1:48.high
We can expect the letsrun crowd to cream their pants whatever he does and reaffirm their conviction that he will lead them to the promised land.
Is that kind of what you do whenever Brazier or Cheserek runs?
Where/how can i watch this ? (UK OR US) and what meeting is it?
4 laps of hate running.

1:46 would be a phenomenal 'rust buster' for a 1500m guy. 1:42/1:43 guys Murphy and Brazier just ran ~1:46 rust busters. Jakob is not that fast.
He comes from a distance/5k background and would be lucky to break 1:46 when in peak shape.

Probably true. As a guess, 1:46 is a reasonable estimate of what he might do in peak shape. Presumably he isnt currently in peak shape.
Sorry to break it too you, but he has decided to only run the 1500 this weekend. (Against a pretty lousy field so should win this with a litte sprint the last lap)
I know that you guys are all speaking as of one year ago, but he just ran 1:46 low yesterday. So, saying that Jakob will never be a 1:46er is just wrong. The range on this guy is unbelievable. It was his first 800 in three years too, so he may be able to knock off a couple of seconds with some practice in the event. Now, of course this is not Jakob’s focus distance, so it would be unlikely that he will pursue an 800m title at Worlds or the Olympics. Nonetheless, I’m sure we can all agree that the youngest of the Ingebrigtsen’s has extraordinary talent and is likely to do big things in any distance he runs.

Some might argue that having an ideal race going out exactly at the pace he wanted and drafting for 750m, everything under complete control, leads to a FASTER time than a real race, with people going for the win, changes in pace, sudden accelerations and either a fast start or slow start.
If you look at the performance of other time-trials - Centro's 13:00 last year, Brynn Brown's 9:39 3200m, Elise Cranny's 14:48 yesterday, Nico Young's 13:50, etc., it shows a trend that TT's in perfect conditions can easily match race performances, which tend to be a lot more unpredictable.
Gjert is a mastermind - he orchestrated and organized the race in a way so Jakob could reach his best possible time. In a true 800m race, he would either go out too quickly and die, or he wouldn't be able to deal with the surges a good 800m runner would insert throughout the race to break him.
