Jakob Ingebrigtsen CRUSHES 12x400m, 10x200m At Altitude Ahead Of Pre Classic | Workout Wednesday

We followed 5,000m world champion, 2-mile world record holder and Olympic 1,500m champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen as he crushed a track session at altitude in Flagstaff, Arizona just over two weeks ahead of his season opener and title defense in the Bowerman Mile at the 2024 Prefontaine Classic.
Dive into the COROS data behind the training session as Ingebrigtsen clicked off 12x400m (60 seconds rest) and 10x200m (200m jog rest, approximately 90 seconds) at Flagstaff High School. The workout takes place at an altitude of 6,932 feet.

[@pauls758]

One thing that makes me a fan of Jakob is his confidence in himself and his craft. I think all of us can take a note from his book and just be confident in the things you do :).

[@2011hwalker]

He is one of the worlds best so he has earnt the right to be confident. People being confident without any basis is not helpful.

[@burr69]

⁠@@2011hwalkerYou should be confident in your ability to reach your potential. I guarantee Jakob has been confident to the point of delusion since he was a kid

[@timothydaniels504]

As someone who competed in track in the 60’s, I barely recognize the sport now. The training is so precise and measured. Comparatively speaking we were more or less clueless. Still love the sport.

[@Islandmidfielder]

You paved the way. Check out the coffee club podcast if you don't already. It will remind you of vintage running culture. My 82 year old friend Smitty, loves that podcast. He is an old ultramarathoner from Alaska.

[@sonnysmith2991]

You guys were still running crazy fast times though, especially when you look at the track and equipment quality. Seb Coe was running faster, for the most part, in the 70’s and 80’s, than the guys are now.

[@dylancampbell3531]

Jakob is an extreme example of this. The Norwegians do this the most but not everyone trains like this these days. Although the Norwegian method is proving to be very effective.

[@EntertainingRunner-vd3bn]

Do you think it's a good idea for someone who ran in the 60s to train young kids today?

[@andreasghilarducci4137]

Okay this might just be the best day ever

[@jkrunningproductions]

Favorite Workout Wednesday of all time

[@SiTheGuy19]

Agreed 🤩

[@markolim8938]

Funny how watching Ingebrigtsen training gives totally different vibe than any other top level runner

[@EricCartmanFTW]

a lot of them do their 400s in below 60s. Jakobs training feels less intimidating, definitely easier mentally to stay consistent

[@Nsamity]

This is the first cool thing Flotrack has ever done

[@brock331]

~150 HR for 61s 400’s is insane

[@solomonhiggins4576]

For real. It’s also crazy that that’s his 5k pace 😅

[@zackdisharoon6239]

Was just thinking that

[@th3t00t]

And he looks like he's jogging. So relaxed

[@kofifordjour9128]

Have to remember that 150 is the average. At the end of each rep his hr probably got up around 170-180 which is anaerobic threshold pace

[@alberthaust4542]

At the pace he was running he needed more than 400 meters to raise his heart rate to the level it can reach at such pace. If he ran 800 meter repeats at the same pace, each repeat would probably end with a higher heart rate.

[@billstromberg6743]

Now I understand why Jakob is so incredibly calm and relaxed before his races, especially before the finals. All this high-level training gives him a complete sense of mastery

They are not open or accessible at all. See sweat elite, there are so many hoops that people have to go through just to make things like this happen. Flotrack getting this access is a loss not a win for our sport.

FloTrack, I commented on your last video (the Micheal Norman Episode) saying there was a lot more you could do to improve the quality. Since I was harsh last time, I have to say this video was very well made and put together. Kudos to your team giving us such a high quality video with the best runner in the world. This is the type of stuff that will actually push our sport forwards!!

[@anthonyfarmer4811]

By the off chance this will be seen by the man himself, I just want to say thank you for being my idol for the last 7 years. When I didn’t want to go out and put in the work you were my motivation and when I almost walked away from the sport completely, you and your family were a reason I didn’t give up because I too have that dream to be the best one day. I thought this summer I would’ve had the chance to finally meet you and tell you in person at the 1500 final this summer in Paris but things didn’t work out as I had thought but you know I’m very happy you’re still striving to be the best and hopefully when you’re time is done I’ll be the one to take over the world. I would give up my life here in the US and go to Sandnes to train with you guys so I have the chance to be the best in history but to also learn more about the discipline. People tell me I’m crazy that I’m rooting for you and not the team USA members but it’s just because youre a big reason I believe in myself even if everyone thinks I’m crazy for the way I think but I truly believe in myself that I will make it one day and make my dreams come true! Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see you rock this season. I believe in you and am one of your biggest supporters all the way!!! Thank you for everything !

[@mazungo0]

YESSSSSSS!! So much pent up demand for exactly this. MOAR JAKOB WORKOUTS PLZ!

[@walterbortz355]

Wow! Watching the world’s best middle distance runner train was so interesting- rational, calm, made a lot of sense👍

[@EJOVLTW]

That's an insane workout at sea level, never mind at Flag. I can't imagine he's anywhere near recovered after only a minute on those 400s. A workout like that at altitude is downright panic inducing as you try to catch your breath. I guess that's why he's the Olympic champion. In any case, really cool to see Jakob on WW and to get this level of insight into his training.

[@DylpiqkleSTier]

I mean you never FULLY recover after a rest for a rep.

[@milocavapoo1852]

Yay Jakob’s back! Looking forward to seeing the Prefontaine this weekend & seeing where his fitness 31:51 is at. Have faith he’ll be in peak form for the Olympics.

[@lorengoodwin2995]

Stoopidly effortless! I really like this dude.

[@hollymoore9656]

Love Jakob! Even though he lost today only just to Kerr, what’s exciting is Jakob is not at his best and is running at 80%. Can’t wait till France, he’s got my vote all the way 🎉

[@andreasweigert6047]

The splits are crazy knowing that the 400s should be at "threshold". He ran 64 and 61 for the first two and even crazier is his avg heartrate of 135 and 147 in these two reps 🤯

[@taylorplante99]

He said "threshold plus", so I don't think those reps were at threshold pace/effort, especially considering altitude. I'm sure the max HR of most of the reps went well above threshold.

[@jellekraak7930]

@@taylorplante99I agree

[@MattRungEcologist]

@@taylorplante99agree! It sounds like a post-Gjert term that Henrik/Jakob have allowed into the lexicon which means ‘we’re doing a little too much’ but it’s managed risk. That would have been a telling off 5 years ago!

[@pablodiaz301]

​@@taylorplante99 si esta entre 160 y 170 pul x min. esta en el umbral, en los intervalos de 400 apenas alcanzo los 160 y luego bajo a menos osea corrio apenas por debajo del umbral. El lactato fue de 2.5 cuando el limite es 4.0 asi que todos los datos le dieron por debajo del mismo.

[@rutgerleunen4812]

This was fantastic. Great questions and Jakob took the time to explain. As always, video does not do the effort in these workouts justice, and especially these athletes make it look effortless. Also the change from VaporFly to spikes has to be brutal.

[@candiceverpaelst-ud3kk]

Go Jakob🎉 Blindfolded

[@quintuyoyarzoenzo]

Yep Time (of lap) indicates the external physical load, and blood lactate indicates the internal physiological load, those parameters are important for obtein the optimal load session... especially some internal load current parameter. Another important factor, Jakob is using a potentiometer that is neither Stryd nor Run Scribe 20:25 ... Another way to collect external load data (watts). In addition, it uses a brachial heart rate monitor. Science Exercise = Big Data Exercise, nothing is random.
