It’s not arrogance, it’s not humility it’s just a pure uncompromising belief in his abilities which separates him from even the best generational talents. When he’s done he’s going to be an epochal talent.
He is such a clear, honest and interesting communicator. His interviews are always insightful and entertaining. And he does have a sense of humor for sure. Love the little squeeze by Sandra Perkovic. Goes to show he is liked and respected in the community.
anyone surprised how one can race against fresh A-tier pros and still win after running a 443 the previous day is living under a rock. but many super hero believers aren't ready to hear their adult superman isn't really a super hero, but merely a man with strong connections and resources to do whatever it takes and it shows.
fantastic performances this weekend. That mile had me on the edge of my seat, and my heart racing. The photo finish for the 3k was very exciting as well. Im rooting for this man to continue slaughtering world records over the next decade+, and i believe that if he dials in his focus on the 5k, he will be the first or one of the first ones to break 12:30. Hes just that fit.
Besides loving running he sees it as a job and he is going to be the best worker ever. Love his mentality and confidence. It's only arrogance when you can't back it up. Funny guy too
@@nova7981 cocky literally just means very confident. And he is, not in a bad way because he shows respect for his competition, but in the way he expresses himself, yeah smooth cockiness.
You need an already established base of high miles, don't quickly go into it. Obviously I know nothing of your fitness, but be careful with injuries, sudden changes in mileage is dangerous!
@@Michael-ue9us I mean.. for most people.. just running an entire hour-long threshold each week is risky. That's where I am at and recovery is not so easy. HRV and RHR took a big hit for two days since the 1.5 hour threshold I ran on Sat (short rest intervals). I don't think I can do that twice per day yet. I *might* be able to reduce it to an hour and run an hour tempo in the morning, but that would be pretty tough on me. It's not just how you feel. If your cardiovascular system is showing no recovery, then how much adaptation can you really expect from a second threshold on those days? I could reduce them further to like 45 minute threshold runs with no rest intervals, I guess, but would that be more effective? Not sure.
@@noosphericaltarzan1.5 hours of threshold in one session is a lot! The Ingebrigtsens might 10×1km or 5x2km at threshold. Which would only be about 30 minutes of running. Even their daily jogs don't go above about 40 minutes. So no single jog or threshold session is too taxing on the body. Which allows them to do two jogs a day or two threshold sessions a day. Instead of one 1.5 hour threshold a week, maybe try three 30 min threshold sessions a week and see how that affects your body. The same total time spent at threshold but spread out over the week. I'm not a coach though, just a runner too. But that would be my approach.
Why? His physique is more suited for middle distance. He is so good that maybe he can loose weight and do a 2h 1-5min Marathon in 10 years. But he will definitely not crush the WR, maybe break it by a margin.
I realize this is controversial, but I do not think the current elite marathon body type is optimal. I think a better athlete should be a mix of FT and ST. That FT fibers can be trained to fire in a cycle and recover just fine. It comes down to LT, which he obviously has somewhere above 95% MHR, and muscle stamina. If you just look at his body, he seems to be that perfect combination. As far as training his aerobic base.. okay. He could spend the entire off-season focusing on that, assuming it’s not already fully developed anyway. I am not saying he necessarily will break Kipchoge, but he likely could train for a solid year and compete at an elite level, no problem. I simply do not agree with starving oneself to i crease specific power. Jakob can increase it with his FT fibers. I could be wrong. I can’t exactly prove this myself, but I do think the day is coming when you see a guy like this finishing near 120 min.
@@noosphericaltarzan Bruh that is completely wrong my friend. Don‘t you think out of 1 Billion men aged 20-40 years the ones with an optimal body type are the ones who are racing in the world cups nowadays?
@@kingplays5369 You could say the same thing before any paradigm shift in any sport. We didn’t know that much about neuromuscular and metabolic efficiencies even ten years ago. Most runners still think VO2Max is the the most important variable. Most distance runners think the best way to improve specific power is to starve themselves rather than increase force production while leaning down naturally using intensity control training. Again, I admit it is controversial, but the idea that Jakob couldn’t complete any marathon as a top finisher, after maybe a year of prep.. that’s silly. Essentially, the question I have is what speed can he extend out just past 42 km. Kipchoge is maintaining just under 3:00 min/km. Most likely, he is right near the theoretical limit, though some folks disagree with that too. I'd be curious when Kipchoge passes threshold in a marathon. The limit seems to be anaerobic, honestly. Where do they each cross over, and how much longer can Ingebrigsten maintain that pace if he crosses much earlier. I doubt Ingebrigsten is going to run a marathon the first time and cause a Zatopek-like upset, but you are looking at a similar paradigm shift in training happening. It started in middle distance but that doesn't mean it's limited to it.
He runs 120 mpw....For half of the year. You don't think he can run a bunch of 4:40's? lmao. He runs at threshhold pace for an hour+ My threshhold pace in high school was 4:50 mile, so he's doing his threshhold work at way way faster, for way way longer. Meaning he can transition to marathon's easier than most. @@georgelee9099
Interesting he talks about mileage in camp / at altitude, versus at home. The top pro cyclists are basically either at altitude in camp, or at a race. I would assume elite runners are also trending towards this (I.e. become robotic and sack off the family and friends stuff) 😂
but that's true treshold train you aerobic not anaerobic :D and with high mileage it's aerobic too, that's the way of his father training. He is a confirmed middle distance runner (can be insane from 1500m to 5000m and could also be insane in 10000m) and with the fact that he has insane speed and already train aerobic hard since young age he would be one step ahead for going up to distance running
Could be wrong but I actually think the steeple world record would be one of or even the easiest of the world records from 1500-Marathon for him. Could be the first to run sub 7:50 in the steeple.
He did try 3000m steeplechase when he was 16, and won the U20 European championship (where he also won 5000m, but fell in the 1500m a few hours earlier), qualified for the adult World Championship, and ran faster than the European U20 record that was 40 years old, though I see it wasn't ratified. That old record was later broken and ratified by a Danish guy, but still almost three seconds slower than the time Jakob ran it. I don't think he's been running 3000m steeplechase in competition since he was 16.
Hayward Field has three sides, and the open side allows wind to come up the back straightaway. This means every time/usually they run the 1500 there is a headwind with 300m to go.
80-195 km/week Oct-to-March. ~30% more than regular mile runners. Aiming for steeple World Record. Loves tats and would like to run for Sweden but Sweden don't want him. That about summarizes it.
It is just a well known fact that Beowulf was Swedish and the Swedish viking power (sports for example), ingenuity, cleverness and beauty is the envy of all. Jacob and his bros frequently dream about being Swedish; just like all Norwegians do. You wouldn’t understand. You are not pure awesome viking and likely just a mutt from our ancient invasions. Nonetheless, I wish you the best so you and your family survive well, anything else?
It makes complete sense that Jakob wants to be Swedish, but currently cannot because we have very high standards. At least WR in 1500 m. What does not make sense is your insolence. Bow down. Your God, Thor the Almighty
All records including the marathon and the steeple chase (:%%@@"%%)!! Yes the steeple chase. The interviewer added that as a joke, then Ingy confirmed it. I'm sorry this is too much. He's drunk on his own success.
Jakob won steeple gold in the 2017 euro jr Championships. Id say its very likely he breaks the mile, 3k and 5k wr at his next attempts. Drunk on his own success? Hmm idk man...dude is sensational
@@bigt-bt1br He would have broken 3k and 5k already if he wanted, but he knows that he needs to prioritize 1500/mile early in his carreer to have a shot at the WR due his real strength is more towards the longer distances. His body might "slow" down in terms of max speed already in a few years and then 1500m/mile WR probably are out of range. 3k and up he has 5-8 more years to take.
I am not. But understand your rumination. Been following him and his family for years now. It is a very simple and down to earth family, and every one of the children that has chosen an athletic dicipline, have shown great talent, development and success on the way to adulthood. His big brother Henrik showed the way for Jacob, along with next in line Filip. The latter was in my mind the biggest talent in the family for a long time, but severe asthma, many injuries, and maybe a lack of that inner drive that Jacob has, made it a difficult path for him. Jacob is a phenomenal talent, but it is his mindset that make him who he is and his quest for excellence. He even booted his father as his trainer last year or so, because he wants to improve every singel day. Who else does that if your not laser focused and goal oriented. Lastly, his family and siblings are at least 10 members in total I believe. If Jacob had done anything shady at some point they all would know, and everybody in this world cant hold a secret, thats for damn sure. Just my 2 cents, be wel, SL

It’s really remarkable how quickly he recovered after that mile race yesterday.
Definitely
Because he trains to be able to recover quickly. Double runs prepare you for back to back as it gives you strength
