He broke the meet record from El Gerrouj.
Post-race Int: "well I guess I'm quicker than El G' now"
alright, calm down Jakob....

In the context of being asked if he knew he took the meet record from El G...

If I ran faster than El-G I would probably say something like that too, or a lot worse.

Dale Worton from Leeds UK is in shape to run under 3.30 for 1500m this summer. Going to be a good battle between Worton, Ingebrigtsen and cheruiyot.
Jakob, Jacob and Cheruiyot have a league of their own.
Who is this Dale Worton, and why have we never heard of him..? Britain has Grice, Kerr, Wightman and even that young talented kid Max (can't remember his last name)..but, Dale Worton..? Who is that..?

Dale Worton is a 1500 meter runner from Wakefield, UK. He's in around 3.30/3.29 shape.
He was in shape to win the liverpool cross a few years a go.
The meet did not perform standard doping tests, so Jakob had to ask them to test him as he wants the record certified.
Gee, who would have thought that a 20-year old would continue to improve.
I'm laughing at the idiots who thought he would peak at 18, and then at 19.
This kid will get a WR before all is said and done. Not sure which distance but it will happen.
Agree, and yes, the haters have been shouting Jakob has peaked since he was 17.
They have been disappointed ever since.
I think this year will another level up for him, with this 1500 a very good indication.
I think he'll be high 3:26 & low 7:24 this year.

You should probably stop promoting the theoretical past fitness and theoretical current fitness of your athlete - particularly if it is the same Dale Worton listed with on WA's website with a 3:47.56 1500 pr. Let him race and post the results and then everyone will talk about him for you. Until then - mum should be the word.
@ Karl - at first I thought 3:26high seemed unfathomable. But his 3:28.68 from last year paired with this indoor 3:31 makes it seem plausible. I'd still air on the side of conservative and say he might dip into the 3:27s if he ends up in a fast time trial race like Monaco... which might only be a consideration by him if the Olympics are cancelled/postponed (? pure speculation).
https://www.worldathletics.org/athletes/great-britain-ni/dale-worton-014420786I would have said that it'd take an off-day from Cheruiyot for Ingebrigtsen to beat him at the Olympics but surely the gap is closing. Jakob looks older, leaner, and faster than he did in his remarkable 2020 season. What a race!

This is such a good post I love it.

I don't think so. Cheruiyot was .2-.4 seconds faster than Jakob last year. Jakob may have jumped another .5-.75 seconds. Its going to be very hard for Tim to stay with him.

Check out that poster's history. Saying that is totally in line with his other posts.

Now that is some funny stuff. Keep it coming. Jakob will NEVER run 3:26. He has given no indication whatsoever that he will ever do this. None.
3.31 and you all know how he trains. And none of you are copying him. Why not? You're being left behind. Why wait 5 years until you're convinced? Take the leap and do the same.

I agree he'll probably get some record. I am pretty confident it will not be the outdoor 5000 record -- I think that's beyond him. He has a better shot at El G's 3:26 insofar as marquee distances outdoors are concerned, but I could definitely see him falling short of that. 4 seconds is a lot to improve for anyone, and requires some pretty special conditions. I don't give him better than a coinflip at it but he as a legitimate chance.
I think he could end up with some indoor WRs (I think he will eventually run faster than the current WRs in the indoor 1500 and mile), and he may have a shot at something like the outdoor 2-mile, the indoor 3000, the indoor 5000 record if no one else beats him to them. I also think he has a decent shot at some off-distance WRs, like a WR in the 2000m.

4 seconds?
You don't realize he is only a bit over 2.5 seconds from the WR??
