Теоретически Якобу это по силам, ведь идеальная для него дистанция - 3000м, он не побил на ней рекорд исключительно из за собственной глупости( он готов на 718.5- 719, но зачем то бежал 2 мили, где 8 минут уже ломали , а фиксируются только мировые достижения) Что бы побить рекорд Эль Герружа, ему необходимо пробежать 1.5 черты( 1600м) за 348.5-;349- исходя из рекорда на 2 мили , теоретически, ему это по силам и результат 444.5 вполне возможен.
