GJERT INGEBRIGTSEN ON THE NORWEGIAN TRAINING FORMULA 

Thank you ❤

Been thinking the same thing, his interviewing skills are amongst the best in the field 👏👏👏

Norwegian here. Can confirm that Gjert is known as a talker. No impressive journalism.

Cheers man, really appreciate the words ❤

They built mitochondria and taught mitochondria to use lactate and convert it into a fuel. He’s good at biology and he’s got a good knowledge in his pocket. And consistency is the key! Years of practice without injuries

indeed, he looks well and healthy!

Yeah, his sons spoke a little about the seperation in Norwegian media. Gjert is extremely pedantic and intense, and it gradually took a big strain on the family relations. In the end it became untolerable for the brothers, so it seemingly wasn't a good breakup. They're working on their relationship in the family now, and decided that in order to stay close as a family they had to seperate family and work between the brothers and Gjert. But what a coach he is!

@@Gran_Torino tgibk that’s what special and Peter and seb coe in that they both were able to totally separate coach and family relationship - he was Peter on track but dad at home

Maybe they have learned from all the injuries that Henrik Ingebrigtsen has had by running with spikes on the track is not a good thing. Just a thought

What happened with Jakob and Gjert?

@@bobabola3399 I don't know. It came as a shock to many with interest in the family that something had happened, and it was so serious that Gjert was denied accreditation to Eugene 2022 and barely accreditation to Euro 2022 with order to not contact Jacob.

@@bobabola3399basically what I heard is that Gjert was very intense and it strained family relations and the brothers couldn’t handle it anymore. They weren’t able to separate work and family so they broke away. I’ve heard that they are working on the family issues, but not quite fixed.

He was too restrictive and harsh in his behavior towards some of them,including the young daughter.

@@SteinJohnsen-iu6bf So far I have not heard about anybody in Norway being jailed for authoritarian parenting. This is a setup by the Ingebrigtsen Brothers. I had a teacher at a Northern Norway Island school, in 6th grade, who took me in the back neck hair and lead me out the classroom. When I told my mother what had happened, she said; "do not tell your dad because he might do the same just to make sure you get enough punishment for whatever you did."

Ok?

Gjert has written two books, but unfortunately specifics of the training are still pretty poor.

Thirsday and Tuesday: 5X6 and 10X3 in the morning. 20X400 and 10X1000 in the evening. Hills/track work on saturday. Sunday Long run: 20K. Easy runs the other days. The Ingebrigtsen Model.

I can tell you it works really well! 4-6 weeks after you adopted to Treshold doubles you change the time of those workouts or keep the time but increase speed a little bit. Great model

@@JanTheo yes, the general details have been available for some years now. The specifics of how Gjert modified the training for each of the boys, how the training changes with the season, especially when transitioning to racing, etc. are not available, and Gjert has not discussed these details in his books.

@@JanTheo What does 5X6 and 10X3 mean in this answer?

"running to the top" , a classic book which also deals in this concept of base development thanks for mention Arthur lydiard many of his concepts resonate here, I think the refinement you mention might be the thresthold training during all the year apart from easy/long runs, maybe in the classical view there is a more drastic change from volume to intensity in preseason/season while in this approach everything is more integrated during time although there are changes, thats why he says he can do a decent race in almost every month of the year, even though I think that for majority of amateur/serious runner is important before more volume in threshold and then track for any specific race ( 1500/marathon) is important to reduce a little bit in threshold and put more in bassement development as doing the easy/long runs in mountain, foret or other uneven circuits and more season in gym/ full body circuit

Many Thanks for the link 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤

Arthur Lyliard is the first of all them..... 😊

For now finding a coach at a local track club should work just fine to introduce her into training. If her results are gonna look promising in 3-4 years, you could probably think of finding a coach that uses methods similar to those used by ingebrigtsens, or just stick with that coach if the progress will be there.

Watch out for the complexity bias. Training is simple, training distribution of all elites is 80/20. They all run high mileage. Twice a day, 11-13 sessions a week. Talent will come out, or it won't. Some people simply can't handle much volume. Only 30% of the people is talented enough to run 100km per week. The rest breaks down, and can't make the volume needed to become olympic material. Volume is strongest correlated to finishing time. No coach can change that.

In Norway. Good luck

Yes, and his other two sons have rune 3:32s as well.

Philip Ingebrigtsen 3:30,01 Henrik Ingebrigtsen 3:31,46

And now Narve his student have 3.29

No its his drag dealer.

It’s more likely to pronounce names in English when we speak English 😊 I do the same.

many pros have started doing a couple of minutes @threshold before races as part of the warm up

knowing your 5k, 10k , half marathon and marathon pb as indicators. if you do not have a marathon or half marathon pb (which is my case and many other people you can estimate more or less). For example I do the 10k at 3:25/3:30 km. these guys do something like 25x400 / 10x10000 30x200 ( just some examples). for a guy that ranges 30-32 in 10k might do 20x400 8-10x1000 25x200. me as I do 50-60 km week ( some years doing athletics and gym/cross-training) and as a 33-35 in 10 k typical trainings might be 15x400 6-8x1000 / 20x200. Then answering your questions the 400s might be done at 10k pace (in my case 1:20-1:24 of course this change during weeks of training and approaching specific goals) , 1000 if I'm starting a block more volume base (8-9 3:35-3:40 which and I'm more confortable) and then slightly reducing it step by step (until a 6-7 at 3:20-25), then for half marathon/marathon pace are use more in tempo runs (I will put anything more than 6-7 minutes) which in my case I estimate for example a 5x2 km will be done between 3:50/4:05, a 4x3 km (4/4:10 which is between half and marathon) and then bouts of 4-6 km marathon pace (4:05/4:20), the last part will be a long tempo 10/15/20 km (depend on the stage of preparation) (4:20/30). as you see you play with the times that you feel are not very stressful but not easy at the same time. with practice you will get to know the different paces and more or less choose wisely what pace is neccesary for the different training and to adapt progressively as you approach a race or after some weeks ( is important as you progress to reduce the paces not to drastically and let the body evolve though time) , in this way I truly believe that knowing oneself after racing/training a lot in this style can substitue this lactate measures as you say for everyday amateur/serious runners as we are. I know this is long but just my insights regards 😅😉

it costs 300 dollars and is smaller than a mobile. What are you talking about

Narve Nordas from Norway. He won the 1500m tonight at the Fast5000 in 3:32. Gjert coaches him.

@@davidmccarthy7609 OK, thanks for the info. 👍

@@davidmccarthy7609 he’s still coaching others but not Jakob? 🤨

Don’t think so

@@oilguy777 Yes, he coaches Narve Gilje Nordås and Per Svela, but not his sons!

Only prior!

@@JA-su2us Okay, that's what I thought lol

@@jacobreesmontgomeryBut he coach Narve Gilje Nordås who ran in 3.29 yesterday, a personal record by almost 3 seconds, and into the top 30 in the world of all time!!

He doesn’t coach Jakob, but coaches a Norwegian who just ran a 3:29 1500m

Grete Waitz, Vebjørn Rodal, Ingrid Kristiansen and Jakob Ingebrigtsen

Way more than I could mention if we’re talking about all sports.

Supplements and diet are a secret 🤫

He pronounces it with a the softer "Y" sound when he speaks Norwegian. My only explanation was that he was speaking English and so he used the anglisised form of Jakob - Jacob.

Very good observation. As a Norwegian I also noticed that, but the thing with Gjert is that he probably pronounce Jakob in 4 different ways, this English Jacob, the east Norwegian accent, Yakop, the South western Yagåb, or the northern norwegian Yakopp(?). Gjert has an accent like no other person in Norway, a mixture of furthest Northern and the furthest South Western parts of Norway. In the tv series his sons often tease him with his special accent.

Something you probably didn't realise is that he pronounced Bergen in a English way, not how he would have don't it had he been speaking Norwegian. This is also what he did with Jacob.

because he is a pirate!

late life crisis.

Why not?

Cause he's a rascal and a cool dude. Plus, his wife is a hairdresser with a small empire of salons, and they are generally the ones doing that's sort of thing in Norway.
