For a guy with his talent the number one thing is avoiding injury. Items on the training list like slower runs, gradual buildup, avoiding overtraining, and ample time for recovery are spot on. As long as he avoids the setbacks his talent will always allow him to do great things.

[@crimsonreaper835]

Given how strong his close was in his 2 mile WR (splitting 7:23.high or 7:24 depending on who you ask - and then going another 218m at 27s 200m pace), I feel like he should be capable of going under Komen's WR (if not sub 7:20, a few decimals beneath 7:20.67 - think 7:20.2), and under 12:40 for the 5000m as well - I wouldn't be surprised at all if he is close to 5000m WR shape along with Kiplimo and Kejelcha. Of course, fitness is one thing, and getting into the right race with the right conditions and having the right day are another, as he himself was keen to point out in his latest interview before Lausanne.

[@StrandedKnight84]

3000 is probably his best distance at the moment. He even said so himself. With optimal conditions, I think he would get the WR.

We’re living in a world where people always trying to hold u down, making efforts to hold u on their own basic/conventional lvl of shortcomings and fear.

It's worth mentioning that Jakob Ingebrigtsen has two older brothers who both have won gold at the European championship for the 1500m. How many young talented athletes have two older brothers with practically the same genetics to guide them. When a single injury can ruin a career, guidance like that can change everything.

Based on that 2 mile WR performance where he ran negative splits and most of the last part of the race alone I believe that he is in shape for close to the WR in the 1500m.

A sub 26 in the 10k is not unthinkable either. If he manages to beat the incredible 3:26.00 in the 1500m, I think we are witnessing something very special and unique that could change middle distance and long distance running forever.

[@arvemikalnesvik3089]

On a crazy day Jakob could brake the 1500m world record already this season but that would require another Norwegian miracle like Warholm in Tokio. Even if his shape is all time high he would still need perfect conditions, his strongest opponents and perfect pacing to finish anywhere close to 3.26. His start to the season has been way better than expected though so he might come close to 3.27.00 this year. Still I have a feeling that the WR might survive both 2023 and 2024 but within Jakob celebrates his 25th birthday(Sept 2025) both the 1500m and 1 mile world records should be his.

[@udontknowme7798]

If he get the perfect pacer, Stewart Mcswayn, then he can make it. Mcswayn knows Jacobs footsteps better than any other, and he's fast enough to hold world record speed until 1200 meter's

Hi! I really enjoy your videos, not only because they are very well done, but your research is always excellent! What I like the most is the way you tell the story, you are a very good speaker/story teller! That’s why I really didn’t like the TRP in spanish (Spanish is my first language) When I saw the TRP logo in red I got excited, but the voice is quite bad. It sounds like a guy who has lived in USA all his life, and learned spanish from his family (latin background), which uses “spanish words” wrongly (the words are english pronounced in spanish) and the worst is that the tone on his voice is missing all the excitement you transmit in your english videos. Just my personal opinion. 😅. And thank you for your videos!!

I remember that video and without looking at it again, didn't you reference some blogger or youtuber or someone named bluejay, bluebird something like that and that person thought Jakob would run something crazy like a 3:24 1500m???? I had been watching Team Ingebrigtsen for years so I never doubted his talent and potential and it was not his times as much as his approach. He had this competitive focus and fearlessness that was so rare, I mean the athletes he remined me of were two, a young basketball's Michael Jordan and the other a young Steve Prefontaine. At 13 he predicted that he would beat his older brother Henrick and that he would win the Olympics both at 20. Also when he ran the world champs in 2019 at 18 and finished 5th in the 5,000. What impressed me the most is with 400 m to go he tried to win. Not try for a medal he tried to win. That so reminded me of Steve Prefontaine in the 72 Olympic 5,000. If pre would have held his kick, he would have medaled and same with Jakob, if he would have went at 200 or 150 m, he would have medaled. And his interview after those races he said the people who beat him were not better than him and he walked away disappointed. We talk a lot about young Americans, but how many of these great young talented kids would be disappointed if they won both 1500 and 5,000 at USA's, ran a 3:31 1500 which is equal to a 3:48 mile at 17 and took 4th and 5th place at the World Champs at 18. Jakob is the best and most talented distance runner I've seen since Eliud Kipchoge and he's the best distance runner from a non east African country of all time. If he can stay focused and committed for another 3 or 4 years he will be the best distance runner of all time and it won't even be close. Also you say his best 3k is 7:24. Actually he ran the last 3,000 of that 2 mile race in 7:21!!!!!!!! He is in sub 7:20 shape right now and in world record 5,000m shape. But your predictions were awesome!

I'd not predict a specific race, but I think he can get scary-close (if not eclipse) the world record in the 1500m. With the way he's been running this year its not out of the question he could get into the 3:26 range, but can he get below it into the 3:25's. He looked stunned after getting beat in the WC 1500m last year and I don't think he'll let that happen again unless the challenger can get under the world record.

Hopefully he will try running one Mile this season, he can run very close to world record also on the Mile now.
