I predict that in the future he will be older.

Based off of his current performances I think he definitely has the potential to break the world records in the 1500m, Mile, 3000m, and 5000m over the next couple years as long as he stays healthy. As for the longer races, who knows!

The craziest part is that he is fully capable of holding the 1500, 1 mile, 2000, 3000, 2 mile, 5000 and 10000 records all at once. And I personally think he will make it.

Agree with all of this. From what we have seen this year, it is now CLEAR that he can break all of the records up to 5000. Only the marathon and half-marathon are still in question.

This man has the potential to break every record 1500 to 10K and he just might

Jakob has that Prefontaine confidence with the skills to back it up.

Time does prove the greatness of an athlete Jakob is well on he's way to being one of the all time legends.

I was there for his 3000m photo finish at the Pre Classic last weekend. What a shockingly tireless runner. He pulled almost the whole field into personal bests.

26:11 at 10k is just sick.

He is a complete package. When he joined breaking 2 project it is evident what he is looking into. I think I will cheer for him 2040 Olympics in marathon 😃

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I do actually think he can get every WR from 1500m - Marathon (not sure about the 3k steeple since, to my knowledge, he has no experience or training with that). I wouldn’t go as so far to say he WILL with distances like the marathon as now Cheptegai and I imagine Jacob Kiplimo will soon enter the marathon distance so who knows how they might affect the current marathon WR (which already might get taken down this weekend in Berlin by Kipchoge) and not to mention this new freak, Kelvin Kiptum. I mean, we all though Bekele was going to do what Kipchoge went on to do in the marathon and continue his dominance like he did on the track but life has a funny way of throwing curve balls. People say Jakob is cocky and I don’t know where they get that. He’s extremely confident but his confidence is not born of delusional narcissism. His confidence is grounded in actual results in what he legitimately knows he can do based on what he’s done in training, how he’s continued to perform on race day, knowledge of the sport as well as his competitors. To be honest, I find his frank honesty and transparency refreshing. He’s straightforward and he’s got my respect as well as everybody who watches him because you can’t help but respect what he does. Kudos to him. Keep taking heads, names, and records 👊🏼✊🏼

Love the content, especially the videod about Jakob. Keep up the amazing work.

JAKOB HAS THE DETERMINATION TO GET THEM ALL AND THE TALENT TOO

When he was a kid, he said he wanted to be the greatest distance runner of all time

Delighted to hear that a wallet changed your life 😊

He's a steady fart away from breaking Hicham's mile world record. That's amazing.

3000m breakdown is gone, but this vid Brilliant job Thanks for your work

He is becoming the track GOAT in front of our eyes.

Jakob will be the greatest that there has ever been

Thanks, TRP. Jakob is truly a remarkable young man. Cheers.

You definitely have the best running channel.

Kind of irrelevant, but I feel like the Norwegians are gonna some up with more world class athletes in the future. I've noticed how when a nation produces even just one special athlete. It makes the natives believe that they can also perform at that level. I'll use South Africa for example. Before 2014, we had never had a sub 10 second man. That changed at the National Championships in April when Simon Magakwe ran 9.98 to be the first to break 10 seconds. Since then we've had 6 more break 10 in Akani Simbine(9.84), Phatutshedzo Maswanganyi(9.91), Wayde Van Niekerk(9.94), Tlotliso Gift Leotlela(9.94), Thando Roto(9.95) and Henricho Bruintjies(9.97). Since 2017 when Warholm won his gold in London it motivated others from his country like Ingebrigsten and look what he's becoming. There's also another Norwegian who runs the 400m flat and he broke Warholm NR by running 44.39 in Budapest semi final. I'm not saying we WILL definitely see another beast from Norway, but I won't be surprised if we do.

Anyone know what spikes he was wearing during the diamond league meeting this weekend? That color way looks great.

So inspiring.

His race endurance has not peaked. If he is able to improve his endurance through his mid 20s to late 20s, it seems likely that several new WR performances will come. This, of course, depends on whether he can avoid serious injury. Running at his pace is obviously stressing his body very close to a hard limit. Injuries can change everything. For his sake, and ours in his growing fan base, let's all hope he stays healthy. I predict he will set a new WR in the 1500 and 5K in Paris.

Please do a video over Yared Nuguse, he ran a blistering 3:41.93 right behind Jakob Ingerbrigtsen for the Bowerman Mile

Amazing

What do you think about Marathon? Kipchoge and Gebresselassie started also with shorter Distance before dominated Marathon. Mo Farah was too old when he switch to Marathon

Thanks for bringing light to this, for the eople who aint see it.

I predict he will set the world record at the mile at Bislett Games next year. Hear me out: This year's attempt, at the end of a long season, I believed gave him confidence that he is very close to getting this record. At the same time, it would be ideal to set a world record at his homestage - he has himself talked about how excited he gets every time he competes at Bislett games. There's also the fact that Bislett games this year showed him that it's possible to run very fast at this track given that he set what was a 1500m PB at the time at this event. And the dream mile at Bislett games has always held a lot of prestige, almost in the same league as the Bowerman mile.

His future looks bright!

What a stride !

the kid is aiming high. hope he stays healthy and one day does the marathon in under 2 hours

From the same area as Haaland. Sandnes county is not that far from Time county. What they both have, you ask? Grit and a hunger for achieving more. Love for their sports. Relentlessly chasing records

1500m - needs more progress Mile - maybe a little more progress and a pacer than can go further than Sowinski 3000m - whenever he wants 5000m - whenever he wants 10,000m - tough one but maybe some day Half-marathon - remains to be seen Marathon - remains to be seen He's quite powerfully built for a distance runner. Would this start to hinder him from the 10,000m up?

Please do an analysis on the last Mile race summmary (he came just short of the record while running more distance)

Bro set a goal for the moon to keep himself motivated so he keeps going after breaking all the middle distance WRs

It would be interesting to get a summary into all the races he did in 2024 end of this year, including local races he might have did.

That's Natural Law to complete level standing

I think there might be a mistake at 8:00 about the marathon world record. Isn’t the world record in the marathon 2:00:35 by kiptum? Or is that unofficial for some reason?

He's young and once he have life he can definitely do it. I love him like crazy gets me so hyped.

1500-marathon wr’s would be absolutely wild, but I mean, if anyone could do it he could.

Up to 10,000 I think he has in his sights. Half and full marathon possibly, but we'll probably have to wait 6+ years to know where he's at then.

Crazy long adverts spoilt a good video!

If you type 'world record' or 'unreal' in the search bar of YT you have a 99% chance to bump on one of this guys video's

I think he is bound to set at least one new world record next season.

He will break the 1500m, 1 mile and 3k records. As you say though, having the wavelight tech is a huge advantage.

does anyone know what shoes he was wearing? they look like a mix between dragonfly's and victory's

Bay to Breakers, baby!!

Do a video about his beer mile XD

That's a crazy goal, and if anyone's gonna do it, it'll be Jakob.

I am not convinced that the Ridge wallet has really changed your life.

25 years after el guerrouj graced the track, a new compititor appears. Only time can tell, but the prophecies predict a new GOAT

I was waiting for this video...I'm like did he forget about day2 of diamonds

25 years old is when most top athletes break world records.

He just got married. Insane guy!

Love Jakob but for the Prefontaine classic you made 3 videos about Jakob, 3 videos about Coleman and Lyles, but no video about Gudaf Tsegay, even though she ran a massive WR?

I think he certainly achieves multiple global gold medals and likely WRs in every event from the 1500m up to the 5000m at some point in his career. I think that once/if he conquers the 1500m, both the WR and gold medals in both the Olympics and World Championships, which he will likely do before the age of 25, he swaps the 1500m for the 10k and gradually moves up in distance as he gets older. All of this assumes he stays illness/injury free throughout his career. If anyone can achieve such a lofty goal, it's Jakob.

And I came in here thinking you'd talk about his beer mile.

Jakob is the GREATEST OF ALL TIME he will break or can break the World Records over 1.500, Mile, 3.000, and 5.000 untill 2025 Past 2025 when he moves up in distance he can aswell run great 10k’s and half marathon even the marathon when he prepares accordingly to his goals Will be interesting what Niels Laros does tho. He is 18, can run 1:43 for 800, runs 3:30 for 1.500, 3:48 Mile, and 4:48 2000, aswell a 13:20 ( in a slow race) over 5.000 Jakob’s chances to run WR in longer races (where the pace is obviously slower) he can just train to break longer races records If you look at his lactate measurements are indicating s 58 minuete flat half marathon. He had in winter a faster threshold training 2:46 pace for 4-5 minuetes with 1.8 m/mol lactate (better than any other runner in history- in future he can go sub 2 in marathon)

❤🎉🎉🎉

Bodybuilding

Whatever happened to Donavan brazier?

And let's not forget the beer mile he recently won.

The two fastest miles races in history had one thing in common - another runner just a bit behind the winner and pushing the pace to greatness. You don't dwell on this at all, yet to me it seems the impetus to the records.

For 2024 my bet for Jakob is: -Gold in 1500 Olympics -Gold in 5000 Olympics -Gold in 1500 Worlds -Gold in 5000 worlds -WR for the Mile -WR for the 3000 - Aproach to 1500 WR (He will brake it in 2025) As well as a lot more victories Indoor and Outdoor... This kid is getting crazier year after year

🎉🎉🎉🎉

Without watching video I predict 2k yet again for the billionth time

It is not just him. The whole field seems to be getting faster. I can't remember so many people running 1500m under 3:30 in one year. He is usually pacing 3 or 4 other guys that, on a good day, can do it. Mentally, that must be really hard to run eveything from the front.

He will break the records because he's doing something different from the rest that clearly seems to be working. His dad has extremely unique training methods. The dude carries like a lactate metre with him at all times and regularly pricks himself to measure his blood lactate at different points. He's the only one doing this kind of lactate-guided training. Jakob is also only the only top runner in any event from the 1500 up to not be almost underweight. All runners at the top for all these events hover at around 18.6 to 18.8 BMI and Jakob just comes in with a 21.4 BMI, which is higher than the 400m record holder, Wayde van Niekerk, and about the same as the fastest 100 and 200m runner right now, Noah Lyles. Man's built like a sprinter, but is dominating the distance runners. Up to 10k, he might break the record, but I don't know about the marathon. I mean the 2nd fastest marathoner, Kelvin Kiptum, literally has a BMI of 16.12, which is like anorexic.

Yeah Ingebrigsten is quick but how about TRP breaking the record for number of adjectives in a video voiceover...

Moulay Yaakoub

As it says in Timothy Noakes's legendary book, 'If the best milers came off the track, they'd clean up on the roads'. I have total belief that Jacob can get the 3K, 5K and 10K records - but doubt he can get the 1500m record.

He is still young. Assuming he remains injury free and healthy, he can probably break a few more records. I reckon 5000 is definitely within sight. I reckon 1500 and mile look like tough asks, but he is close. We will see what happens with 10k etc. Not many can take that kind of jump. Good that he has those goals though.

If he stays healthy , I think he will hold every wr from the 1500m to the half -marathon . His best 1500m time will be 3:25.5 . And his half Marathon time will be 57:09 ..... I don't know about the Marathon . Some of the greatest half marathon runners couldn't run a great marathon . We shall see

I think it's a realistic goal for him to desire to break the 1,500 WR all the way to the 5,000 WR. I think he can accomplish that in as little as 2 years. Beyond that, it's going to take some additional training. So, who knows!

As for the longer distances, Jacob won 4 consecutive European cross country championships in the under 20 age group. I believe these are 8 km, and the terrain probably makes closer to a 20k track effort.

What about ultra marathon world record?

Total respect for what Jakob is doing just having pacers and wave lights to break records that are decades old just wish he did these times under the same circumstances

"Todays video is sponsored by Jakob Ingebrigtsen"

I’m almost sure that he will break WR for 1500m, mile and 3000m. I will follow Laros as well who can do that in few years imo

no athlete has ever done this before. until the next one does.

ues

He will break the 1500m & 3000m while he is still so young and fresh and given he will achieve that as an Aerobically Dominant runner I have no doubt he'll be in wr 5000m ability already given that his 3200m was Phenomenal & crushed Daniels sub 8min. Hes ready anytime to break the wr 5000m right now in my opinion. The 10,000k & h.m will come off similar training i feel given hes so powerful already. W.r will be slightly faster than his Critical Velocity anyway. Given Kipchoge wouldnt have run a 7:53 2mile I think given Jacobs rentless pursuit of domination...he will 1 day run 1:58 Marathon. He had the time & focus to dedicate to 200-240km wks down the track and hell have more 2mile leg speed than any other Marathoner. Cheers

I am surprised you did not Capitalize on Nick Willis' 20 year record of 20 years in a row with a sub 4 mile.

Still a long way to go for the sub 7.20 in the 3000m though

First. Jakob’s season was goat status.

Any hot takes on the upcoming 2024 season

If he stays healthy, he can do it. However, nobody stays injury free every season they compete.

Interesting to see how married life affects him - Congratulations on the impending nuptials this weekend

If Eugene had been an 800 m race he would not have finished in the top four….just shows how much of an aerobic athlete he is…and will always be vulnerable to an 800/1500 runner with an explosive kick ie Jake W and Josh K…..

Again, Faith Kipyegon had a far better season than any other athlete on the planet. Period. But yes other athletes also had good seasons.

It is good to have ambitious goals. Jakob certainly has them. But most of this talk about him eventually holding “every WR from 1500 through marathon” is almost pure hype. For one thing, Jakob’s body type is against him. There have been powerful 1500 WR (Snell) and tall 1500 WR (Ryun) but there has never been a 1.84 m, 74 kg marathon WR. The extra weight may provide more power, but propelling it for 42195 meters will be burdensome and performance limiting.

1500meters = 3:24 One mile = 3:41 3000 Meters 7:14 5000 Meters 12:25 10.000 Meters 25:50 That's Jacobs potensial in a few years time, he is the GOAT 😎

He is so far from El Guerrouj right now, he isn't even within a second of his 1500m time right now. Look at how many sub 3:30 Hicham had. He has the potential but he is so far away right now

i think ingebrigtsen has a legitimate chance at sub 3:40 mile

If he stays healthy, Jakob will run sub 12:30/5k next year.

I think that he could most definitely get the wr for most of those but since hasn't really done the 10 I think it might be too late for him and he's never evan ran a half or a full marathon so i think he wont be able to do it although eliud is pretty old so many jakob will prove me wrong and wont be to old and past his prime

Is it fair to say he's the best middle distance runner of all time?
