Jakob's future is in the 5000m. I think even Henrik will gravitate towards this event as he realizes that his speed is just not good enough in 1500m. Both will crack 13 min if healthy. In 10 years, this thread will resurface and we'll see whether my
prediction was crazy.
It didn't even need 10 years.
Not crazy after all; Jakob has run 12:48 already and is the two-time WC champion at 5000m.
30 plus years in the sport does not help much, obviously.

It's amazing that he is running such great times so young.
However the fact is he will get stuck at around 3:31 like his brothers. This kid isn't going to run 3:26.
The Kenyans couldn't care less about Jakob running 3:39 at 16 or whatever.
If he wants to win any medals like Fillip then he better work on his speed. Forget this half marathon ability nonsense.
hmmmm

i belive he will be better at the long distances. 3km and above is perfect, maybe too slow for 1500
Nicely predicted.
