Will Jakob BREAK Daniel Komen 3000m WORLD RECORD?

El Gerrouj couldn't do it and neither could Bekele.

In my opinion, the most impressive out of all the world records. He would have to run sub 3:56 mile pace for 7 and a half laps. Will he do it?

3:56 mile pace would break the record; he doesn't need "sub".

7:20 for 3000 is 3:56.03712 mile pace. Splitting hairs here.

58.7 seconds per lap. It's weird how Bekele couldn't do it, but I think Komen had exceptional pace making and it made a big difference. He was also perfectly suited to the distance.

No, but he will be the first person to break 10 minutes for 4000m.

Considering that Komen was in the top 3 most talented 3/5k runs to ever walk the earth and that it was the 90s (wink) I would have to vote no. That record isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Even El G had a long shot and breaking it.

I think Filip could get 7:28 and I think Jakob could get 7:24. 3rd all time at least. That would be legendary!

Yeah, if you look at Bekele's attempts...they weren't really even good attempts with 61 or so second laps within the first few laps which made a WR not possible right away. I definitely think he could have taken a few seconds off his best time if he had better pacing

You could make an argument that mark Carroll at 7.30.6 is clean world record as only those from certain African nations where doping is pervasive are above him - and one Spaniard and many think they are dirty.

Carroll was a young phenomenon but nothing like Jacob. So I think Jacob could go 7.25/26 or so - but lower than that - cannot see it

You certainly could argue that if you didn't have the self-awareness to acknowledge the obvious racism here.
