Jakob has an acceptable amount of delusion for me. The "crazy enough it might just work" kind of delusion. When Lyles or Kerley talk about the 100m WR, it's just disrespectful
Lyles has a serious chance in the 200m. Same for Tebogo. Nobody’s coming close to 9.6s, let alone 9.5s in the 100m tho. And Kerley just needs to shut up. He’s not that great. Go back to trainint/
@@Stellar-Cowboy I agree about the 200m. 19.19 is very beatable compared to 9.58, and Lyles has been close enough that he doesn't deserve ridicule for saying out loud that he wants to beat it. Tebogo's trajectory also puts him on track to challenge it. But in the 100m, Kerley is better than both of them. His 9.76 puts him at 7th or something of all time. If Lyles can talk, so can Kerley. Besides, Kerley is one of only three men in history to go
Possible and already has 1500m Mile 2000m 3000m Steeplechase 2 mile 5k 10k Half(says it’s his strongest distance) Marathon? Idk if his range extends this far out It’s very possible for him to have 7 wrs before his career is over. I believe a few of them will be beat within his career as he moves up…not sure which.
Sifan Hassan was just bad timing away from having the mile record and the marathon record simultaneously --Kipyegon beat the mile record in July 2023, Assefa ran 2:11 in September, Hassan ran 2:13 in October. I think that's the closest we'll get.
Jakob can eventually go sub 57 for 13.1, but what he can do in the marathon itself is hard to say. He certainly has the aerobic capacity, but marathon running is just a different animal.
The cool thing about running is that almost everyone has done it for the past 50k years. He's probably top 10 among anatomically modern humans. A real specimen. I guess you could say that about a bunch of events, but cave men weren't pole vaulting or whatever.
The thing that proves what you say: there were ppl in this year's 100m Olympics that ran slower than the winner 100y ago who ran with shitty equipment on a shitty track. That shows just how optimized running is. If you look at the gymnastics winner in 1924 vs 2024, it doesn't even look like the same sport
I mean if you would’ve made this video 2 weeks ago you would’ve rated the 3000m a 9/10 and said it was gonna be really difficult to beat (imo) so I can’t really doubt him
Most of us knew that his 7:54 was worth sub 7:20, especially seeing as he had a huge negative split (55 last lap) in that race. The only doubt was fatigue coming back from Lausanne and the weather
@@crimsonreaper835right. His 2 mile was basically a time trial and his back 3k in the 2nile was a 7:22. I think if you understand track well you knew he was capable of breaking 7:20 especially with all the top Ethiopians in the race
@@landonboomsma2594 Good point about the competition - 2nd place was over 10 seconds back of him in Paris (8:09). That's not even considering that he was a 3:27 high guy at the time, and it was earlier in the season compared to this year where you'd expect him to be in peak fitness more or less.
I am surprised that everyone seems to have forgotten that Jakob competed in the steeplechase at the London 2017 world championships. I suspect the reason for this is that there is no footage on RUclips.
With some time, luck and good management, he could hold every WR from 1500 - 5000m...but I tend to think that the 10000 and marathon are still in the domain of the East Africans. He might prove me wrong though, it would be pure entertainment
Hindsight is cheap, now that he "failed" his first attempt at the half, but you strongly underestimate the half marathon record imo. Guys like Barega, Kejelcha and Gebrhiwet might have run 57s, but they've been running 10ks at championships for years which sets them up perfectly for elite half-marathons. Not the case for Jakob, a 1500/5k guy. Jakob hasn't yet proven world class level at anything above the track 5k (european cross country domination the closest). Doing that (10k track/roads, global cross country championship) will be a necessary stepping stone. Kiplimo is a 7:26 & 26:30 guy on the track despite relatively limited speed & seems ideally built for the distance, the HM-record ain't too shabby in its own right.
You strongly underestimate Jakob as well. You can't seriously think that his HM performance yesterday was anywhere near his max two days after focusing on the diamond league final 1500m and a summer of peaking for the 1500m. Can't wait to come back when he approaches 57.
@@clepjep How? Forget today, really not my argument. My point is that he needs to build up to the distance. If he does that he can break the WR i'm sure. Don't see him breaking it just passing by, because it's very much a serious record.
@@John-lr4hp He had a very 1500 m focused season that started off with injury and lots of races recently, went out quite hard and got the norwegian 10 km record as a split. If he does a better base training period with more volume he'd be in shape to do around 58 mins in the half marathon next spring, according to what sweden's best half marathon runner said about it the other day. And then, as you said, some specific training would probably be needed to get down to 56 and wr level but that's probably doable for him because he's quite a hardcore guy.
@@nept123 Agree. 58 seems reasonable within the context of a normal track season if he targets (meaning not running it 2 days after a DL) it. For 57 or even sub 57 he really would have to invest in it and also run a few 10ks first.
this is like the second time ive heard him speak. Also if Jakob goes on to do the marathon I wonder how good he will be as if hes chasing world records and truly believes he can do it, could he be the one to break 2 hours
@@clepjep I understand it well enough to not be delusional to think that a HM WR is the easiest one for a 1500/5k guy, especially considering his large frame. Let me clarify: I'm not saying he can't break the WR - he can with heavy blocks of specific training, but then that's definitely not a 4/10, more like 7-8/10. And the marathon WR is straight up 11/10 (i.e: impossible), no one that big can run 2:00.
Jakob's aerobic threshold running speed is almost certainly the highest we have ever seen, so I agree that the longer the better, except for the full marathon. His current training volume is already high enough for a half marathon runner.
Jakob is a special kind of talent, no doubt, but the likelihood of him actually accomplishing this incredible goal is quite small, but possible. I look forward to seeing him try.
The norwegian method seems to give very good endurance as well so I think he will do well in longer distances. Take for instance Andreas Almgren (swedish) who struggled with injuries for years and then started to train more like Ingebrigtsen...Now he has smashed almost all national records from 1500 m up to half marathon.
Also that he has stuck with running 1500 m is because he likes it but he lacks really good accerelation and top speed at the end of a race. This is quite telling- he has more potential for longer distances.
The marathon distance was one of the weakest WR's and is still fairly weak. That's why we've seen so many world records over the distance in the last 10 years. Record length doesn't lie. There's a reasons some records last 30+ years.
@@karllukenicholsonIt has been in the News,his wife was a little bit sick,and had to wear mask in their own home before the 3000 m i Silesia,so living in the same house,and after running that great race in Poland,his immunsystem would have been a little down,so may be he got a little of the same thing as his wife had.
Putting the half as the easiest to break because of "track guys" like Kejelcha performing well, and Jacob beats them on the track is crazy to me. Kejelcha and Jakob are the exact same height, but Jacob weighs 12kg more.
He needs to break the 1500m soon if this is to be possible. Start moving his way up in distances. He is young but has been running a huge volume from a very young age. Hard to say what that will do to him in terms of longevity.
I don't know... I suppose he's still a little young. About to be 24. I don't know if I see it. I think he can win the 10k or maybe marathon if he really wants to, but the 1500, mile, and 5k records are for dogs at another level. I don't know if I see that from him. Sidenote, Komen is the only person to split sub 4 miles back to back, which I think is so cool. I think super shoes do make it easier, and Jacob went 4 high followed by 355
Komen is no longer the only person to run two back to back sub 4s. Jakob ran 3:58 for his first mile I think and he now holds the record. Is that what you were referring to in the last sentence (it looks like you made a typo)?
So you think a guy who ran 3:43.73 with pacing only to 900m (as opposed to 1200m for El G) on a hot windy day last year can't beat 3:43.13 with better conditions? Idk... 3:26.00 is a different story and much more difficult, but still entirely possible if he has a perfect buildup next year. I'm not sure you understand how good of a run 7:17 is if you think the 5000 is on another level either. He gapped Aregawi by like 30 meters in that race, who's run 12:40 leading the last mile with a 55 final lap to break Cheptegei last year.
He can easily break any WR above the Mile Tho he is just two slow and endurance based for the 1500 Tho he is really special and that 3:26:7 in monaco was incredible
Jakob will solidify himself as the world's best middle distance runner and beyond in the next 3-5 years. He is a once in a lifetime generational racer/athlete.
The real question is which is more likely, a 1000m world record or a marathon world record. I think for Jakob I would give the edge to the 1000m though because although his 800m PR isn't great, he also hasn't given it a real go in a while.
It is necessary to consider more than how impressive each world record is. It is unusual for anyone as tall as Ingebrightsen to dominate the marathon. Maybe it isn't absolutely impossible for him to eventually break the marathon record, but at this point we don't know for sure that he has the versatility to break the 10,000m world record. How long would it take him to reach peak form in the 3000m steeplechase, considering that he hasn't competed in that event for years? I am not going to attempt to answer that.
Jacob stated the 1500M time is almost impossible for him, your understating how difficult it is. Also the 5K and 10K times are super phenomenal are you making it 6/10 difficulty. The half is ridiculous as is the marathon. Breaking any of those records will be tough as hell. 9/10 at least.
because Jakob is a 5k/10k guy choosing to run the 1500m. If even guys like Kejelcha and Gebrhiwet (who are much inferior runners to Jakob) could run 12:38 and 12:36, Jakob can run 12:33&26:09 minimum. And with his lactate threshold (19.3kph as a 16 y-o, 21-22 at 18), the half would also not be that difficult. As for the marathon, now that's a different beast and I doubt he would ever try to break it.
Almgren in his debut ran 59:23 in poor conditions and no specific training at all. Jacob is way, way faster in all distances. Obviously with specific training and perfect conditions he would easily run sub 58 minutes.
When Anders Gärderud trained with european champion Juha Väätäinen, he was astound by the sheer volume of Juhas training. Juha then asked: "What do you think the 10 000m world record will be in 20 years?" Anders responded that he wouldn't be surprised if it was below 27 minutes, to which Juha asked; "Why should I wait 20 years for someone else to go below 27 minutes when I could do it next year"? Juha never reached those times, but Anders went on to set multiple world records and claim gold in Montreal 1976 in the 3000m steeplechase. I feel like Jakob has this kind of mentality. Why wait around for somebody else to do it, when I have the tools needed to break all these records?
The runners today have a massive advantage. Ok he is good, but would have to accept coming second to El Guerroij. They may as well have just reset the records once the carbon shoes and fancy tracks came in.
It would go against everything i know about for example; muscle type fibers etc. Would be so stupid to beat a world record from sprint distances to a marathon. Everyone knows the jack of all traits or master of one.
For the shorter distances yeah- just lika el garouj, but not 10000m, not half marathon, not marathon. his body is not even suitable for longer but only for middle distances.
I believe the record in any Olympic sport of holding the same amount of World Records is by Michael Phelps for about 1 month he held 8 world records at the same time. Back in 2009
Yes, but swimming is kinda cheating there as it has a shitton of races. In running, you have 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5km, 10km and marathon, so 8 different races. I probably forgot something, but it's certainly not that much more. In swimming, you have - 50m butterfly, 100m butterfly, 200m butterfly - 50m backstroke, 100m backstroke, 200 backstroke, - 50m breaststroke, 100m breaststroke, 200m breaststroke, - 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 200m freestyle, 400m freestyle, 800m freestyle, 1500m freestyle, - 200m IM, 400m IM That's 17 races and I didn't even count the long distance stuff (5k, 10k) 8 world records in swimming is probably not much better than 4 in running.
Yeah yeah, this is the 2nd thumbnail in a row with Jakob in it, I didn't realize that until I started making this lol.

Putting the half as the easiest to break because of "track guys" like Kejelcha performing well, and Jacob beats them on the track is crazy to me. Kejelcha and Jakob are the exact same height, but Jacob weighs 12kg more.
Bekele also had a BMI of 21. Jakob's weight is fine.
If new shoe technology comes out in five years and is legal, he’s going under 2 in the marathon.
He needs to break the 1500m soon if this is to be possible. Start moving his way up in distances. He is young but has been running a huge volume from a very young age. Hard to say what that will do to him in terms of longevity.
People forget that he used to regularly run steeplechase as a Junior.
I don't know... I suppose he's still a little young. About to be 24. I don't know if I see it. I think he can win the 10k or maybe marathon if he really wants to, but the 1500, mile, and 5k records are for dogs at another level. I don't know if I see that from him.
Sidenote, Komen is the only person to split sub 4 miles back to back, which I think is so cool.
I think super shoes do make it easier, and Jacob went 4 high followed by 355
Komen is no longer the only person to run two back to back sub 4s. Jakob ran 3:58 for his first mile
I think and he now holds the record. Is that what you were referring to in the last sentence (it looks like you made a typo)?
@@joshuaolayanju9658 I don't think I made a typo. But I thought I saw Jacob went 4:00.9 or something for the first mile
@@NoorKhanNY It looks like he went through 1600m in 3:58.9 so maybe that is the case, however, that wouldn't be 4 high.
So you think a guy who ran 3:43.73 with pacing only to 900m (as opposed to 1200m for El G) on a hot windy day last year can't beat 3:43.13 with better conditions? Idk...
3:26.00 is a different story and much more difficult, but still entirely possible if he has a perfect buildup next year. I'm not sure you understand how good of a run 7:17 is if you think the 5000 is on another level either. He gapped Aregawi by like 30 meters in that race, who's run 12:40 leading the last mile with a 55 final lap to break Cheptegei last year.
The fact they’re mostly very realistic is insane. Such a talented athlete. Looking forward to seeing his progress
I can't wait to see him breaking the women's 100m hurdles
The video should have been scheduled for 10 years into the future
Or you should do an update 10 years later, it would be interesting to see how it ages
He is a world class mid-distance runner, but I really don't see him being able to break WRs at longer distances such as HM or Marathons
Definitely the steeple chase
He can easily break any WR above the Mile
Tho he is just two slow and endurance based for the 1500
Tho he is really special and that 3:26:7 in monaco was incredible
Jakob will solidify himself as the world's best middle distance runner and beyond in the next 3-5 years. He is a once in a lifetime generational racer/athlete.
MARATHON
1 minute ago is crazy
Cant wait for him to break the world record for weightlifting
here after his half marathon debut xD
His height and weight make the marathon record a stretch, but 10k and below is within reach at a younger (under 26 age).
It always makes me sad when I see Kelvin Kiptum. He could have reached so much in the sport. What an exceptional talent.
The ER before Silesia was not 7:24.68 from Katir but 7:23.63 from Ingebrigtsen.
well lets see him break a singly major event WR that is actually ran at the olympics before we say he can break them all lol
The real question is which is more likely, a 1000m world record or a marathon world record. I think for Jakob I would give the edge to the 1000m though because although his 800m PR isn't great, he also hasn't given it a real go in a while.
i would believe in him way more if he didn’t include the marathon or half marathon lmao
confio que es un gran atleta, pero ojala y no se frustre cuando se de cuenta que no podrá romper record en el maraton
It is necessary to consider more than how impressive each world record is. It is unusual for anyone as tall as Ingebrightsen to dominate the marathon. Maybe it isn't absolutely impossible for him to eventually break the marathon record, but at this point we don't know for sure that he has the versatility to break the 10,000m world record. How long would it take him to reach peak form in the 3000m steeplechase, considering that he hasn't competed in that event for years? I am not going to attempt to answer that.
it'd be good if you could cover the Paralympics
Well Zatopek won the Olympics 5k and 10k and wiped out the marathon record holder a couple of days later
For Jakob, the most difficult records will be the 1500 and the marathon, the others he has more or less under control
If Jacob is 100 % and a top day like he smashed the 3000 record he will break the 1500 record. Remember that his personal rec is only 0.73 behind.
Jacob stated the 1500M time is almost impossible for him, your understating how difficult it is. Also the 5K and 10K times are super phenomenal are you making it 6/10 difficulty. The half is ridiculous as is the marathon. Breaking any of those records will be tough as hell. 9/10 at least.
because Jakob is a 5k/10k guy choosing to run the 1500m. If even guys like Kejelcha and Gebrhiwet (who are much inferior runners to Jakob) could run 12:38 and 12:36, Jakob can run 12:33&26:09 minimum. And with his lactate threshold (19.3kph as a 16 y-o, 21-22 at 18), the half would also not be that difficult. As for the marathon, now that's a different beast and I doubt he would ever try to break it.
Almgren in his debut ran 59:23 in poor conditions and no specific training at all.
Jacob is way, way faster in all distances. Obviously with specific training and perfect conditions he would easily run sub 58 minutes.
When Anders Gärderud trained with european champion Juha Väätäinen, he was astound by the sheer volume of Juhas training. Juha then asked: "What do you think the 10 000m world record will be in 20 years?" Anders responded that he wouldn't be surprised if it was below 27 minutes, to which Juha asked; "Why should I wait 20 years for someone else to go below 27 minutes when I could do it next year"?
Juha never reached those times, but Anders went on to set multiple world records and claim gold in Montreal 1976 in the 3000m steeplechase.
I feel like Jakob has this kind of mentality. Why wait around for somebody else to do it, when I have the tools needed to break all these records?
I think Jakob could break the marathon world record (coming from a Kelvin Superfan)
The runners today have a massive advantage. Ok he is good, but would have to accept coming second to El Guerroij. They may as well have just reset the records once the carbon shoes and fancy tracks came in.
As opposed to the advantages of mid-90s Moroccans. Or current Moroccans (with Spanish passports)...
im more interested in the 100k world record
he could be the first person under 6 hours
The hype is real xD
in 4:42 where is this nice Place in the Backround? Its a Video from Citius Mag.
Fun video
STeePLE
Jakobs raced a few 3000 steeples in his career
Yes, when he doesn't show off and ends up 4th without a medal
The second g is silent brother ✌🏻
This aged well
How does the progression curve work exactly?
He's range is 3 min to 13 min beyond that oh my it is Jakob
Keep in mind this 7:17 could have easily been ar 7:14 or 13, this race was ran at 32°C / 90°F and it wasn't evenly paced at all as he closed in 2:22.5
wow that makes the time that much more impressive
Ludwig??
not happening in half or full marathon, also 5 years from now we might have 5 more jakobs,
Warholm vs Ingebrigtsen 800m
Jakob boutta crush Copenhagen
Yeap, possible. Marathon? Not possible. No fit with his overall mechnical design
Hes broke the 2 mile and the 3K so far
And 2k, and 1500m indoor
haha, nah. but maybe!
There is no limit to what could be achieved with a good runner and a great lab, you could even create a great runner !
Jacob is good. But classic distance WRs are still untouchable. I mean 1500m and especially 5000m.
The marathon WR is impossible at his height and weight. He's built for middle distance.
It would go against everything i know about for example; muscle type fibers etc. Would be so stupid to beat a world record from sprint distances to a marathon. Everyone knows the jack of all traits or master of one.
For the shorter distances yeah- just lika el garouj, but not 10000m, not half marathon, not marathon. his body is not even suitable for longer but only for middle distances.
this aged well.
That man is not going to beat the steeple WR
He's not getting anywhere near the marathon record.
I believe the record in any Olympic sport of holding the same amount of World Records is by Michael Phelps for about 1 month he held 8 world records at the same time. Back in 2009
Yes, but swimming is kinda cheating there as it has a shitton of races.
In running, you have 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 5km, 10km and marathon, so 8 different races. I probably forgot something, but it's certainly not that much more.
In swimming, you have
- 50m butterfly, 100m butterfly, 200m butterfly
- 50m backstroke, 100m backstroke, 200 backstroke,
- 50m breaststroke, 100m breaststroke, 200m breaststroke,
- 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle, 200m freestyle, 400m freestyle, 800m freestyle, 1500m freestyle,
- 200m IM, 400m IM
That's 17 races and I didn't even count the long distance stuff (5k, 10k)
8 world records in swimming is probably not much better than 4 in running.
Who in the Sydney McLaughlin does this man think he is??
How about break one in an actual Olympic event first.
