I want to point out that the screenshot shown at 7:06 from that one website is incredibly inaccurate and he doesn't know what he is talking about... The 17-year-old record is 23 seconds faster and is the 4th fastest of all time: 8:03.49 by Conseslus KIPRUTO born in 08 DEC 1994 and achieved in 20 JUL 2012. The 16-year-old record is 14 seconds faster and is the 4th fastest of all time: 8:12.28 by Getnet WALE born in 16 JUL 2000 and achieved in 11 JUN 2017. Jakob Isnt-brigtsen ain't actually that good at steeplechase. The top are dominated by Africans. This brings me to my extra fun fact: Did you know that recently, no one in the top 80 fastest marathon runners are born outside Africa! Who the 81st? 81st is 2:04:51 by Daniel DO NASCIMENTO! (at least till recently + says in his wiki page where I got the below information) And on July 4, 2024, Daniel Nascimento tested positive for three banned substances Drostanolone, Methenolone, and Nandrolone. All drugs are from the S1 anabolic steroid class, precursors of testosterone, which can result in up to four years of suspension. The suspension disqualified Nascimento from running the 2024 Summer Olympics marathon in Paris.

Hindsight is cheap, now that he "failed" his first attempt at the half, but you strongly underestimate the half marathon record imo. Guys like Barega, Kejelcha and Gebrhiwet might have run 57s, but they've been running 10ks at championships for years which sets them up perfectly for elite half-marathons. Not the case for Jakob, a 1500/5k guy. Jakob hasn't yet proven world class level at anything above the track 5k (european cross country domination the closest). Doing that (10k track/roads, global cross country championship) will be a necessary stepping stone. Kiplimo is a 7:26 & 26:30 guy on the track despite relatively limited speed & seems ideally built for the distance, the HM-record ain't too shabby in its own right.

[@clepjep]

You strongly underestimate Jakob as well. You can't seriously think that his HM performance yesterday was anywhere near his max two days after focusing on the diamond league final 1500m and a summer of peaking for the 1500m. Can't wait to come back when he approaches 57.

because Jakob is a 5k/10k guy choosing to run the 1500m. If even guys like Kejelcha and Gebrhiwet (who are much inferior runners to Jakob) could run 12:38 and 12:36, Jakob can run 12:33&26:09 minimum. And with his lactate threshold (19.3kph as a 16 y-o, 21-22 at 18), the half would also not be that difficult. As for the marathon, now that's a different beast and I doubt he would ever try to break it.

​@frankjohansen9364 not only has he not raced a half marathon, I'm not sure he has ever ran a half marathon distance. When he was interviewed for the "I det lange løp" podcast he had never ran past 20K because that was what was in his programming. I think most runners wouldn't have the discipline to not tack on another 1.1K and make it a half. Jakob is not most runners though.

[@classicclassi6146]

STeePLE

[@28mouse85]

Jakobs raced a few 3000 steeples in his career

[@avwie132]

This aged well

[@wesleywang915]

Jakob boutta crush Copenhagen

[@nept123]

im more interested in the 100k world record he could be the first person under 6 hours

[@Zackthebest94]

The second g is silent brother ✌🏻

[@etrairu7]

Yes, when he doesn't show off and ends up 4th without a medal

[@lex9468]

i would believe in him way more if he didn’t include the marathon or half marathon lmao

[@jaredbowen3527]

I think Jakob could break the marathon world record (coming from a Kelvin Superfan)

[@viniciusfernandes4415]

Ludwig??

[@MaxPiefke]

The hype is real xD

[@alvarojrgalo926]

He's range is 3 min to 13 min beyond that oh my it is Jakob

[@anthonieversluis5895]

Yeap, possible. Marathon? Not possible. No fit with his overall mechnical design

[@dilliondantin]

Fun video

[@grandmastermario3695]

Hes broke the 2 mile and the 3K so far

[@okklidokkli]

And 2k, and 1500m indoor

[@kcr7928]

confio que es un gran atleta, pero ojala y no se frustre cuando se de cuenta que no podrá romper record en el maraton

[@parkerfleischman1852]

I believe the record in any Olympic sport of holding the same amount of World Records is by Michael Phelps for about 1 month he held 8 world records at the same time. Back in 2009

[@asdfxyz_randomname2133]

Yes, but swimming is kinda cheating there as it has a shitton of races. In running, you have 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5km, 10km and marathon, so 8 different races. I probably forgot something, but it's certainly not that much more. In swimming, you have - 50m butterfly, 100m butterfly, 200m butterfly - 50m backstroke, 100m backstroke, 200 backstroke, - 50m breaststroke, 100m breaststroke, 200m breaststroke, - 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 200m freestyle, 400m freestyle, 800m freestyle, 1500m freestyle, - 200m IM, 400m IM That's 17 races and I didn't even count the long distance stuff (5k, 10k) 8 world records in swimming is probably not much better than 4 in running.

[@Brett733]

not happening in half or full marathon, also 5 years from now we might have 5 more jakobs,

[@jonasemborg177]

It would go against everything i know about for example; muscle type fibers etc. Would be so stupid to beat a world record from sprint distances to a marathon. Everyone knows the jack of all traits or master of one.

[@arachnidkalven]

Warholm vs Ingebrigtsen 800m

[@natusvolley2328]

Jacob is good. But classic distance WRs are still untouchable. I mean 1500m and especially 5000m.

[@porthabalar5014]

That man is not going to beat the steeple WR

[@MakeThisPlaceIgnite]

what if during the 1500 he just keeps running and breaks the mile too?

[@Meechooilka]

noooooooo. He should run a marathon and then he will break all of the other WRs on his way to the marathon WR. This will definitely include 100m as well because, you know, he is just that talented. And if there are puddles of water on the marathon course, he will also get the steeple WR. Jakob is AMAZING! He can do anything.

[@noahcas2030]

shats ur thought about his 63 half ?

[@boomshankah1123]

I'd say the 3k to 5k is his sweet spot. He does not quite have the top end speed at the shorter distances to kick off a high pace. And he seems a little too muscular for the longer distances, but this can be modified with training and diet.

[@bwingonwoger3354]

I agree with you. Reckon he could do 12.26 for 5k. Just run even 60’s and then kick on last lap.

[@tasdrouille]

The marathon WR is impossible at his height and weight. He's built for middle distance.
