That will be great

So?

Yeah I would have liked to see him in the 10,000m, it would have been a very interesting race! I also doubt he'll be able to break the 1500m WR at the World Champs, but he definitely has a chance, and although having no pacers or lights will affect him, maybe he'll be able to step up on the biggest stage!

Can you cite "he has zero intention of pursuing that record in Budapest"?

@@rayflaherty3441 He announced that he would go for fast times in the 1500, trying to improve his PB, at DL events (Brussels, Silesia). The 1500 tends not to be fast at championships and 3:26 is an unbelievably fast WR. As in Tokyo Jakob will do what it takes to win. He slowed down at the line. He has the 5000 to think of. Since this 1500 field is super strong I expect a faster race than last year. Winning time of 3:28.

@@CliveBramham ok, thanks for the explanation. No pacers allowed at worlds, so I thought it might be because of that.

I agree! If not this season then next season I believe the 1500m World Record will be his. The 5,000m World Record is also an interesting thought, I wonder if Joshua Cheptegei will be able to improve it any further, but even if not then Jakob still has some way to go in order to reach the World Record!

Great predictions!! I don't think he'll break the record in Budapest either but he definitely has a chance, so either way it's an exciting watch!

I think so as well!

Well considering that they had been lapping 55.24 seconds on average, I wouldn't say it's "out of reach" for Jakob to give it all he's got on the last lap, and push for a couple of seconds quicker. While it's a very tough ask of course, it's not completely out of reach.

@@runnerscentral8248 Jakob has never been near closing in 53.2 seconds of a fast initial pace as in this race.

Me too!😂

If he doesn't win in Budapest I'll be very surprised, and I think you're right, in a couple of years surely the World Record is his!

Yes, he is little, 6f 2in. But it has never stopped him. And I feel very small now at only 6f.

I don't think it will come this year before/at World Champs, I predict it may come next year, although it is an Olympic year next year, so who knows!

That's a great prediction! I also think he'll go under 3:27, but I don't think he'll quite get the World Record.

Yeah, at 22 years old there's definitely till time, I think he'll get it in the next few years.

That's true, I feel like a lot of the time Jakob runs it so fast that even if the kickers are still there by the end they have nothing left, he's just a cut above. But yeah, even if he does run it as a time trial of sorts its not really a race to break the world record, because, as you said, there are no pacers.

Yeah it seems like the two are great friends, stewie is just a year or two older than Jakob so itvmakes sense. Always like Mcswein myself

Yeah, I've never met McSweyn but he seems like a great guy, him and Jakob obviously have a lot of respect for each other.

Exactly, if he runs it like a time trial there is nobody in the world who can stay with him at the moment, and I think Jakob is too smart to go out too fast and blow up completely.

True, I've never met Stewart McSweyn in person but he seems like a great guy, and you could see how much he wanted to drag Jakob round to that World Record!

@@runnerscentral8248 Absolutely. Norwegians obviously get to see a bit more of our athletes than the rest of the world, and this friendship really came across during last years worlds, as Jakob gave Stewie access to his medical team for some kind of a special treatment. McSweyn had been out most of the season prior, and would hardly reached the finals without it. That's not an everyday gesture. A world leading athlete sharing his resources like that has to surpass what's to be considered common courtesy & sportsmanship by far..

Doping was easy to get away with before.....

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I don't think it will be beaten this year, but next year I think it will be in trouble. Lets not forget Jakob is still only 22 as well!

1'26"00 is unbeatable - he would have to average nearly 42MPH

@@boomshankah1123 🤣🤣ops 3'26"00😇

That record was most likely made by using doping at that time. There are lots of records from that time and earlier that should be removed as they most likely got done with the help of doping, but since no one can prove it, they will stay and some of them will stay forever as it is impossible to break them for a clean athlete. Others will be beaten after very many years because of a freak athlete with the benefits from better training and better diets, are finally able to beat them. A freak athlete like Jakob Ingebrigtsen and this record. If Jakob Ingebrigtsen is not able to beat this record, I doubt we will see anyone the next 20-30 years that will be close to do it either. And maybe never.

🤔🤔 really antidoping was different? I can't belive. Maybe in 20 years we will say the same thing about the 2023 athletes. Techonologies are advancing in all fields.

Yeah, I'm sorry for the inactivity, I was just very busy in my life, now that I've got a bit more time I can get content out on a regular basis!

Yeah, you could really see he was trying his best to drag Jakob round to a World Record!

Sorry, that's my mistake, thanks for the correction!

@@runnerscentral8248 No worries. Love your delivery BTW

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!

I know, the 1500m world record footage was extremely low quality, so I decided to go with the mile, as it was a lot clearer.

Exactly, Jakob is undoubtedly the favourite for the 1500m this year at the world champs, so he can decide by himself how the race is run, it's a great position to be in!

Best time in the world this year

WL does mean "World Lead", so it's the fastest time ran by somebody this track season. Jakob has run the fastest 1500m this season, so he has the World Leading time. Hope this helps!

@@runnerscentral8248 It does thank you very much.

No problem!

Exactly my thoughts, there's really no point to Jakob running a tactical race, because as you said it gives an opportunity to the kickers. Whereas if Jakob goes for the World Record and doesn't quite get there, nobody will be able to stay with him, and even if he fades towards the end, I think it will be too big for anybody to close down. I also think Jakob is too smart to go out at a ridiculous pace and completely blow up.

I see your grammar isn’t good, come again with what you’re trying to say? 🙄

Let's pretend I uttered the following statement: "Until the 90's no black athlete could win a race over the 1500's". But after the EPO came about, HEG, along with the Kenyans & Ethiopians all of the sudden took over distance running with unreal performances.." That would be pretty damn racist, don't you think? Well.. Since my comment is nothing but racist bigotry, so are yours. So for future reference, swap the places on those you are commenting before putting ethnicities up against each other. If the swapped version doesn't sit well with you, the same goes for the one you're about to post..

Yeah, you're right, on this occasion Jakob will care more about the position than the time I would presume. However, I don't see any reason why Jakob can't go for first place as well as breaking the 3:27 barrier, because even if Jakob goes out hard looking for a possible world record and fails, he'll still win the race because no other athlete can get close to him at the moment. I also think Jakob is too smart to go out at a ridiculous pace and blow up completely, he may fade but I don't think anybody will catch him.

Hoping he goes for it at Eugene during the diamond league championships. I’ll be there in the stands

You're in for a treat! Enjoy it :)

we cannot leave apart the fact that there will be two premilinary runs in BUD. Up until Silesia's DL 1500m he has been running every two weeks, so definetely, with the high demanding previous runs, I think the WR will not be in danger in Budapest.

True, the heats and semi final may have a slight effect, but an athlete of Jakob's quality should progress through without over-exerting himself. I'm not sure if Jakob is going to double up at World Champs like he did last year with the 1500m and 5k, in which case that would definitely have an effect. But you're right, I don't think the World Champs is the place to break the WR.

The name pronunciations were horribly bad.

Sorry, I agree that some of the name pronunciation was bad and I tried my best to rectify what I could.

Todays epos are more advanced and cannot be detected until in the 2040s

I'm not going to deny that substances such as EPOs did exist in those days, however I wouldn't discount HEG's record and announce Jakob as the new record holder because of this. There is accusations out there that HEG may have taken performance enhancing drugs, however I don't know whether or not these are true. I think it would also be naive to discount the possibility that any athletes competing right now are doping, they may well be, but I am not in a position to make accusations like this, I just enjoy watching the sport :)

Fanboys never think their guy is on the juice.

Hisham El Gherouj had a beautiful and highly efficient running form. Jakob is close, but looking at his run tells me that he will have to progress some more if he want to beat El Gherouj.

@@ElectricHorseman66 EL would not be able if he hadn't high quality pacemakers from kenya lagat and ngeny. sometimes tough competitors are a must to break records

Yeah, I definetely should have mentioned him in the video, he's an amazing talent and that is an amazing accomplishment. I'm looking forward to seeing if he'll race at the world champs, and if so, how fast he will run.

It's not a WR. Jakob has still the record for U18 with 3.31 something

@@torrhustoft3933 it is a WR. when jakob was U18, he’s ran 3:39

You're right, Jakob built a great base when he was younger and that is helping him tremendously now. It's times like this when you don't get it right, that you learn from, and Jakob has certainly done that!

Thank you for the feedback on the video, it's much appreciated! Yalemzerf Yehualaw is extremely talented, she's a phenomenal runner, and what makes her accomplishments even more impressive is how she's only 23 years old, competing in the half marathon, a distance that the majority of runners transfer over when they're a bit older!

Yeah, it's hard to believe Jakob is still only 22, it seems like he's been around for a long time now.
