This is the Jakob I like. Level headed and insightful responses. Him in the steeplechase would be really cool! A little surprised that they asked him about the marathon before he's had a chance to compete in the 10k and the half, but what can you expect from these so called journalists. I'm glad Kejelcha gave him something to think about as well.
I think he's always level headed and insightful in interviews. Even at worlds. He was feeling crap but still gave the reporters lots of time and answered everything with his trademark honesty. I've never once seen him snap or be rude to reporters. Despite getting some really stupid questions at times!
He is a great interview and always gives honest, thoughtful and eloquent answers. I find him very patient and generous with the press as well. Occasionally he will show the swagger and the sass but that makes him even more entertaining and interesting. A refreshing athlete all around. And let`s not forget he is only 22. He is speaking very maturely for his age.
180 k that's 112 miles a week. Damn, for a 1500/miler that's a ton and add to that the double threshold and other speed types of workouts. WOW! and he's been training this way since he was a little kid, Incredible!
The OP missed the last number. It is 112 if truly 7 days a week. Of note, Jakob states that October through May is higher mileage, base building workouts.
Depends what your angle is. I think he is articulate and generous in the information he gives - particularly given he is still 22. Most people in their early 20s can barely form a coherent sentence these days. He may need some media training to avoid revealing too much, but that would make him rather boring.
Cool that he took the time to answer so thoroughly and genuinely - more insight than you often get from post race interviews.

He has the European U20 road record in the 10k

you made a typo btw lol.
180km a week is around 26km/ 16miles a day. Not 11miles a day/week or whatever you calculated here
And no he doesn‘t add other type of speed workouts. It‘s already included in the 180-195 miles, as he said that this is his weekly mileage

@@taylormeeks4948 Thank you 😉
A very impressive athlete, in both performance and character.
This guy is from another planet.
He should join team Haaland, also from another planet.
It would be pretty cool to watch him in a marathon.
Why? I think it's too different from his usual training.
Yep he is intelligent and even cute! He knows what he wants and knows his business.
He will get married next week.
Great min-max runner.
1500m hicham elgerrouge 3:26. Dead chrono

Jacob needs to practice more on media interviews less on running hahaha! Congratulations young man!

What do you mean about that??
He actually giving long good answers to all the questions.
And I think he's English is great.
Sound quality is absolutely horrible...
lol L reporter why do you need to keep bringing up the past and the world championships
The other girl screaming in the interview just off screen with horrible grammar and entrance structure is really distracting.
