Jakob's family also probably played a role in him becoming so good too. His older brothers are all successful high-level runners too, and his dad is their coach. So maybe young Jakob had to work extra hard to keep up with his older siblings, and it paid off.

[@mortenbergheim920]

His dad is no longer their coach after they had a falling out. From documentaries following the family the atmosphere was always intense and from an outsiders perspective I think it became hard to function both as coach/athlete and family. Interestingly enough the dad is still training Narve Nordås who took bronze in the 1500m and the relationship between Jakob and Narve is frosty to say the least after Narve didn't get accreditation for his coach which many believe was to shield Jakob. It is impressive that Jakob is doing all this without a "real" coach. They have a team and the eldest brother handles some of the practical stuff, but basically they've said they know what to do and don't need a coach. And you are very correct in saying the family helped and they've admitted that the two elder brothers were like guinea pigs and by the time Jakob was ready to start fully they had the recipe down, which is evident from his lack of major injuries comperatively to his brothers.

Komen's 3000 meters, at 7:20 is ofc legendary and noone has been (officially) close to it. Only Jakob already has been 2-4 seconds away from it, making him the 2nd fastest ever at 3k - And Jakob had another 200m at 30 sec in the tank. Jakob ran onwards from 3k to the 2 miles when he sat that record, but passed 3k in 7:23-7:24 isch, IIRC. He could have taken the 200m sprint energy from the 2mile WR and used earlier to hack off 2+ seconds at least to smackdaddy that 7:20 if he had wanted to, or in another race.

Jakobs eldest brother who started and made their training plans, have told that Jakobs training have made him better as longer the racing distances are. At Jakobs first interview after the 1500 in WC he said that today he wasn't the best. As usual he got a cross examination from a lot of interviewers, and then he had to tell about his fever and that he didn't feel well. I could see that he didn't have his usual sting both in 1500 final, the Q for 5k and in the 5k final. He was interviewed before the WRA on 2k and then he said that the fever and small ilness subsided shortly after the WC, but that the muscles were contracting and that this had to be released before the WR attempt at 2k. He has been his own trainer for years now and know his body quite well, and therefore he didn't push his training any futher when he after his illness noticed that the muscles started tighten earlier than normal but he thought that most of this had released. You could see that this WR run was quite good, but you could also see after he had finished the world record race that he wasn't sure of this as a max run. Of course it was bad luck for a man like Jakob to get an illness during WC. His worst day was in the 1500 m final. Jakob usually have got sick once during the summer every season, but this obviously was the worst possible time. I actually feel a little sick waching all telling why others no had grown better than Jakob. Dear friends its not so simple suddenly grow better than him, it was easy to see in all the races from the 1500 m final to the 5k final he won, that his body wasn't working normally. He just won the 5k because of a really smart raceplan that he followed so good that he managed to win on a 99 % day, and a runner like him is obviously not happy with that.

[@peterjames1088]

His strength is amazing. What interests me is I have long predicted the 5000 meters going 12:29 with the right combo of speed and strength. I have not found that runner until watching Jakob. He likes the 1500 and has the speed, but it is the 5000 I think where is will inevitably have his best performance. He’s too big you say, a 1500 meter guy, perhaps not efficient enough. Well to go that fast a runner needs the right engine and he has it. I calculated a guy 6’, which for the 10k I calculate a guy 5’6 or 7. A power stride like Bekele, check. A chest large enough to house a set of lungs and a big heart, check. And a stride similar in length to Daniel Komen, check. A guy like kiplimo is perfect for 10k and marathon. But he has to work really hard at 4:02 per mile and is really working at 60.5. So much so that he is working 2 percent harder at 4:01 pace. He is lighter, but his turn over is not giving him the optimal investment of energy. Now Jakob would be able to carry 0:05 that same effort at 3:59.8 per mile even with the added size and weight. He would have to run the first half of the race 1 second faster than the second half which sounds counterintuitive but the physics have a reason for this. At 10000 meters all the advantages at a world record go out the window however and put Kiplimo ahead (just a sample runner I happen to think is very talented). So using physics and to give or take by 2 seconds and then calculating the averages Jacob should be able to break 12:30 on the right day provided he has pacesetters through the halfway point and tucks in to block some of his added wind resistance. Next to Jakob my calculation had Komen at 12:32 and Bekele at 12:34. Interestingly the actual WR holder currently I had at 12:38. He far exceeded the calculation for one reason or another.

[@brianway4240]

6:37 his dad is doing really well to keep up with his lads.

[@outdoorman8305]

That mile WR is going to fall soon. Guaranteed. To run a 3:45 mile after an opening 57s 400 is nuts.

[@19Kamau79]

He ran opening 390,65m in 55,7 therefore closing mile was 3:47,4ish it's just math which you don't see over the TRP hyping.

[@barath4545]

@@19Kamau79 True, but a 3:47 is ungodly fast as well. That said, I find the mile record harder than the 1500m to beat - I hope Jakob will nail the 3:26 first then focus on the 3:43. He has the body to beat both but need the I-can-actually-do-it mindset to beat the 1500 I fear.

[@19Kamau79]

@barath4545 1500m record is slightly harder than 1mile, that mile record 3:43,13 is equal to 3:26,50-99ish 1500m effort.

[@blaze1148]

The 1 Mile record of El Guerrouj is the most difficult one to beat.

[@sampetty5768]

Steeplechase world record??

[@clydesharman2053]

Daniel Comen is the unspoken Goat of Track. I’d like to see Jakob take down the 3000m record This guy very well could obtain every record from 1500m-5k

[@AlvarWahle]

I remember when he won the gold in tokyo he started talking about a lack of motivation moving forward. Glad the brits have given fuel to fire, even though their cockiness in the comments is extremely annoying. I love a good rivalry between nations though

[@Unpreeeedictable]

I’ll say what everyone else is thinking: two mile and 2,000 m races aren’t run very often. They aren’t official distances and aren’t run at major meets like the Olympics and the World Championships. Full respect for what this young man is doing but I will absolutely bow at his feet if he breaks the 1,500 m world record.

[@arnegerhardsen3755]

He has not just 8 medals in cross country European Champ, but he have won gold medal every year from he was just 15 or 16 years old.

[@Beralinond]

I guess that would be a PR for him? However, its only one lap, the legs got warmed up, and he was already up to speed of 15mph.

[@Crooked_Clown]

What??? He's only 22 years old? By just looking at him I thought he was already in his 30's. These long distance runners they age really fast.

[@anthonycarr6732]

So? He ran a fast time. An exceptionally fast time. Does this mean he’s the best human being that ever lived? Should we worship the ground he walks on? Give it up, folks. Remember, life is a marathon, not a sprint. He’ll learn that soon enough.

[@valter9604]

A silver in the world champs while sick is fucking insane

[@bluerfoot]

He never showed proof and he lost the 1500m the same way twice now.

[@jamie.lennon1]

​@@bluerfootDoctors at the event reported that he had a fever and swollen throat.

[@pete5691]

What I don’t get is why guys who ran 12:40’s this year run 13:++ when everything is on the line? And they do it looking really tired in the last 200 with everyone gritting their teeth and struggling.

[@MadSlantedPowers]

If he split 57.0 or 57.1, then his last 1600 would be 3:46 or slightly over, and the mile is longer than that.

[@alvarojrgalo926]

Oh man iam traumatized Jakob is so good.he can probably go and win the Berlin marathon now.

[@arnegerhardsen3755]

I would also waiting for the world records at 1500 and 1 mile, but this is records from a really hih level athlet in the black period of track and field history, and I would like him to take 3 k, 5 k and 10 k before he are unlucky with being injured or sick of the circus. He is a big long distance talent, and people are talking about running faster i WC to take down Jakob at 5k, the other runners know this and know that their best chances in long distance isnt to try that hard and loose all medal chances. His trainer and eldest brother Henrik have said he is best at 10 k or half marathon, but he love 1500 m most. And of course p.b. at 3.27.14 is not bad, and he was on his lifetime best shape at a crazy high level on his way into WC, and he didn't tell that he was sick before the interview with Norwegian tv where he just told that he was not the best, but after some questions he had to tell a little more, and the doctor at the national team told zome more after a while. People watched him before WC thought he could have been on a 3.26 level in a perfect world record race, of course not a WC race, but with the pull he have had for the last 120m this season it may had been diffycult to follow in that shape, but not to be sick is a part of the game as he also told Norwegians. But most of us would have loved to see his kick on both 1500 and 5 k in that shape, l'm a bit sad for that. But I'm waiting more for some fun on 5 k, on 10 k, or half marathon, because I'm so slow😊.

[@kennethlewis3870]

If he can break Koman's 3k record I'll be a believer. 7:20.67 is truly the "Mt. Everst" of running records. That time is insane. Nobody has been within 3 seconds of that time.

[@bigt-bt1br]

Jakobs 7.54 2mile is even better🤷

[@bjf5027]

I hope he goes after that mile record next. I've always thought it was unbeatable, but he may be the guy to do it.

[@bigt-bt1br]

Its happening on Saturday. 3.42,8🫨

[@ILoveVydija]

Honestly, this is Jakob's first performance that I doubt Hicham could have done. Maybe, maybe not. This means that Jakob becomes truly monstrous.

[@bigt-bt1br]

El g not running a 7.54 2mile either brother

[@jhuffman52]

Barring injury or retirement he will hold the 1500m, 1mi, 2km, 3km, 2mi, 5km and 10km records 😉

[@No_One1_Special]

Jakob will break the 5k record before the mile or 1500m record. He's capable of running sub 12:30 right now.

[@paulnorman8274]

He needs to focus on the 1500 first, or it will likely be too late. He already doesn't have much pure speed to spare for the 1500. He also sounds like he really, really wants that 1500 record, almost more than any other.

[@emilioo5349]

In short term, I think he is pursuing gold medals next year, and then look to break WR on other distances perhaps 2k or 3k who knows; on long therm I think he will pursue Kipchoge's records on the marathon

[@jonahmays]

1:11 that “breh” caught me so off guard 😂

[@sealdan88]

I'm thinking his career on the track will be pretty similar to El Guerrouj's, except instead of his 3rd Olympics (like El Guerrouj), he will finally pull off the 1500m and 5k double in a world champs on his 3rd attempt (2025 is my guess, though he may also pull this off in Paris next year). He will also likely break El Guerrouj's 1500m and mile records at some point, but not sure exactly when. I think unlike El Guerrouj though, he will continue his career off the track for a while, though I'm not 100% sure yet how he'll do there. I'm sure very well, but we'll see about winning, records, etc.

[@zippo20001]

To answer your questions at the end: If there is one man who can do it, then it`s Jakob Ingebrigtsen.

[@RishabhSingh-wr1yp]

What's his average cadence and stride length in this race ??

[@cliffkennell3854]

It would be interesting to see how he would do with Hichams shoes, track surface Hicham ran on and without the pacing lights. The shrug after the race and him saying it wasn't that hard was classless in my opinion.

[@blotzkrog]

ayo this upcoming Olympics is gonna be LEGENDARY. potentially we gonna see Eliud Kipchoge and Kelvin Kiptum matchup in Marathon Sydney and Femke at 400m Jakob and everyone else battling it... I CANNOT WAIT FOR 2024!
