This is amazing!!!. someone who doesn’t run much faster than 50.xx, can string together 4 x 55! Almost unbelievable
What a stupid comment. I wouldn’t be surprised if he could run 45 and 1:43. What the hell else does he need to do before you morons who don’t understand anything physiology understand this? Jesus this board sucks.

Just wait until he drops a sub 7:20. Folks will still say he's lacking in some area.

Interesting to hear Jakob post-race interview expressing a little frustration that he can't see pace lights in daytime, and that he wished he could have pacers for longer. Can't the Pre Classic / Diamond League final arrange for such things?! It's a huge deal to see the greatest runner going for the world record, and we can't arrange for proper pacing help? Aren't there plenty of guys on circuit who would take $5k or whatever a pacer makes to bust out a 2:47 for 1200? You know, sprint to the finish and collapse to hit 2:47. And what about the pace lights? Some genius invented the pace lights so can't we invent brighter lights? It certainly was hard to see them in the stands...
Race results and analysis calculate Jakob ran 1613.7 meters. It’s tough starting on a turn, but that likely was the difference between him and the WR.
If accurate, he ran 1,613.7 - 1,609.34 = 4.36 extra meters. Missed WR by .60 secs. The pace is @ 7.21m per second. x .6 = 4.32 meters. So if he ran exactly one mile with no extra distance he would have been right at the WR - just under it.

This is a much more stupider comment and belief. you think he can run 45😂
Nuguse. Great runner, and great attitude. Hope he medals next year, he may even be a contender for gold. Jakob is so good, and good for the sport.
“…. good for the sport” yep and on my screen, to my right, I see Kenyans running on red clay roads, it really is a beautiful activity.
Those same red clay roads that athletes from around the world travel to, to enjoy the joint saving soft surfaces, endless hilly challenges and clean low-oxygen air for RBC stimulus. Beautiful indeed.
There are only 4 synthetic tracks in all of Kenya, their government thinks "their" money should go elsewhere which is part of why the country is 123/180 on the corruption index. I suspect there are more tracks in Ethiopia, Bekele won enough money to build his own along with a couple of hotels nearby.
