It's official - Gjert Ingebrigtsen wasn't at Jakob's wedding

Just think about how great the Beach Boys were and what a jerk their father was. He was originally involved in getting their career going.

I can’t tell if you’re genuinely this stupid or just trolling. In the event you’re actually serious, an old man who’s almost 60 y/o punching a teenager once to discipline her is not deadly force, dumb4ss. If it were a pro MMA fighter wailing on a woman to the point where she has to go to the hospital (a la War Machine), or if Gjert punched a 90 year old man in the head who can already barely walk, that would be considered deadly force. All this time you’ve wasted on social media has rotted your brain and left you bereft of any common sense.

You never asked your wife why she's never spoken to her mom since age 11? That's crazy. I can totally understand you not tryign to push them to have a relationship - no matter what the reason - but I can't fathom why you wouldn't want to know the reason behind something that obviously was so important to your wife.

Good job Jacob! I invited my dickhead dad to my wedding and hardly any other family showed. Should've let him stay home and realize if you're an abusive parent and husband you don't have much of a life anymore--you're a fv<k up and deserve the loneliness you created.

I can't stand takes like this in the sporting world. Winning in sport shouldn't come at the cost of one of the most important familial relationships in your life. There are plenty of successful athletes who don't sacrifice their relationships with family and still win. In fact most successful people count strong relationships with family as a factor in their success.

We romanticize sacrifice too much. We love the idea of athletes being super human-not-like-us, making out of this world sacrifices for glory. The fact is, balance matters. Athletes who experience these losses, will suffer from it, and do well in spite of it, not because of it.

Yeah this is actually f-ing sad. Like come on guys - was whatever happened that bad?

Adults/parents using mental and physical punishment against children is a crime just as it is a crime when adults use the same method against each other. Abuse don't make people better, don't make them understand more and is a serious attack against the personal integrity. That said I have no factual knowledge this happened in the family of Gjert Ingebrigtsen.

What should be obvious for all is that internal problems in the family should be solved by themselves but media in Norway is as hungry and speculative as media in UK or US.

Disagreements related to training and couching is another case they should be capable to handle without announcing it to the media unless they have good reasons for doing so. What caused the break in the family (with 7 children) between Jakob/Henrik/and maybe Filip towards Gjert is up to them to speak about if they want because most people simply don't know so much.

Some time ago I sent a mail with a question to 'Sandnes idrettslag' to buy a training program for runners. Gjert replied and wrote it was not for sale.

Reading about their weekly 'threshold' program on the Internet I found out that their pure quality distance a couple years ago Tuesdays/8x1000m PM, Thursdays/25x400m PM and Saturdays/hard hills 10+10x200m PM were 22, km. Now they hold to have added light 5x2000m on Tuesdays AM and 6x1600m on Thursday AM instead of recovery runs these days. I question if this is smart at all or is it put up to confuse competitors? Their Tuesday threshold intervals is now 8-12x1000m and their Thursdays threshold is lowered to 20x400m.

Without counting their claimed recovery jogs AM Mo-Sa morning of too long 10km/day or 60km/week their total kms a couple of years ago were some 90,75km/week including guessed 3 km warming up and 2 km down jog with PM distance runs 10km on Mo, We, Fri with one session of 20km on Sundays in the basic period which of course is not the same all the same to spring. Pure quality runs: some 22 km.

Team Ingebrigtsen trains polarized and not mainly threshold:

Their pure quality runs Tu, Th and Sa in the case here represents the method from polarized training of 20% without counting their earlier claimed 10km/AM recovery jogs six days a week. But this means they had to have many tougher weeks.

They have never told what kind of training they do the other weeks in a meso period autumn into spring moths. Nothing about hard non-threshold intervals with long rest as Dave Moorcroft did who used 8x300m/rest 3min, 4x600m/rest 5 min, 4-6x1000m/rest 6½mins. Not sure of Moorcroft's 150s and 200s, but with the same method it should mean 15x150m/guessing rest of 1½min or 10x200m/rest 2 mins. This for non-threshold intervals.

Team Ingebrigtsen has said nothing about plyometric training with body weights, lighter weights, pure strength training, nothing on run-skipping in hills and on flat terrain, nothing about using weight vest, nothing about long hill intervals, nothing about block training in tougher weeks, nothing about their hard intervals as Moorcroft and nothing about how they structure the different weeks related to polarized training. So just copying the official information from Team Ingebrigtsen is not smart at all. Remember rest for threshold 1000m is 200m jog, and rest for 400m threshold is easy jogging 100m. The idea is not to go all out on threshold days.

Look my dear friend, it ain't about abuse or not abuse. That has nothing to do with whether a child becomes harmed or suffers consequences in adulthood. It's the anthropogenic RF and EMF environment that these abuses or non-abuses take place in. At the right or wrong frequency respectively, an abusive case can lead to completely diametrically opposite effects of benefit and harm respectively to the child and subsequently as adult.

There is no bell curve for abuse here because RF and EMF effects are non-statistical. Instead it's effects are like the WILD WILD WEST, fickle and capricious, dynamically changing from moment to moment but still superior factor compared to every other one. RF and EMF is a factor to anything conceivable in our existence, and a main one as well.

I know of how children whose parents literally smash them up as children and today they were thankful for that and become moral angels. Now these children were from the baby boomer generation whose environment RF and EMF frequencies differed from present day ones.

If this goes on much longer Jakob will wake up one day and hear the news of his Father's passing and regret all of this trivial rubbish without being able to repair anything. It needs to be repaired now rather than later.

Yes but that can only happen in a wholesome non-expeditious (non-forced) manner if one changes the ambient environmental RF and EMF frequencies which Jakob is exposed to, wherever he is living on this planet earth. His thoughts and emotions will change, his brain functions will all change, not immediately and not drastically, but wholesomely (over a period of time of perhaps 6 months to 1 year). Now a wholesome change is a drastic change per se in my RF book. When it comes to the realm of frequency manipulation, a tiny quanta has colossal consequences. Small works damn big in RF, different from the manner in which conventional realms of knowledge work.

Question would be how do we change the ambient environment of Jakob's in order to change his feelings and thoughts in order to change his views about Gjert? That's the million dollar question here! This might sound crazy, but if I were the Norwegian Minister for electrical and wireless affairs, I would give Sandnes a daily power ration for 6 straight months. There would be no electricity for 12 hours a day......simple but effective in changing the state of Jakob.

It depends. If your dad is a pain in the ass, then it is no sacrifice, it is a release.

Wrong! Since I studied some psychology during my education related to economic history at the University of Stockholm I hold that your comment is pure nonsense. It is lacking something very basic, namely that children have the same right to respect and personal integrity as you and all humans. Children are not enslaved properties of their parents who can treat them as they will with physical pain and mental punishment. If you know children who are punished this way you should report to the local social authorities or the police.

the really pathetic thing about this thread is how many posters can't resist strutting their moral stuff over a rumor. Like that, in of itself, isn't blatantly immoral.

You don't even know. So stop smearing the guy.

This. How are so many people in this thread so ignorant to the fact that is was a common way of life for many elder people on this forum, like myself?

Let me add something about the TV documentary "Team Ingebrigtsen" 2016-2021 filmed by the Norwegian TV - NRK - Norwegian Broadcasting. The documentary followed the runners Jakob, Filip, Henrik and their father Gjert. They filmed at their home in Sandnes located some 6 km south-east of Stavanger in southern Norway. We heard about the childhood of the three young runners, we could see some of their hill training locally and at other places abroad. The TV team filmed in their travels and at international competitions. All in all 25 episodes.

What struck med was the following seen in the documentary: Gjert Ingebrigtsen who was their trainer and father was very dominant and didn't hesitate to "shout" and come with disrespectful comments. There were no friendly and dynamic relationship except when some of the sons were performing well in competitions. When children and youths are treated this way they are basically abused and will build up resistance and reactions. This has already happened as the sons have broken all contact with their father as far as media is saying.

I have met trainers myself and they all tried to explain and have a respectful relationship with the athletes. Not so in this case which could be seen by the whole Norwegian population. I wonder how the talk went when the TV team left and the father was alone with Jacob, Filip and Henrik. Hardly softer! I hold this arrogant and quite mentally abusive treatment of Jakob, Filip and Henrik paved the way for the later break with the father.

All can be seen on NRKs streaming Team Ingebrigtsen. Not sure it can be seen abroad.

When a father is not invited to his son's wedding the consequences can be a break for life. Maybe only professional psychologists can help heal this family tragedy. I hope so and wish them all good!

It is not about any rumors on Gjert Ingebrigtsen. The accusation of child abuse is already a case at the police in Sandnes/Stavanger area in South-Western Norway.

What nevertheless is seriously wrong is that Gjert has been banned by the Norwegian athletic organisation to get access to a accreditation card for the 2024 Olympics in Paris as a trainer for the Norwegian runner Narve Gilje Nordas who did 3.29,47 on 1500m at Bislet Games in Oslo, Norway, 16 June 2023.

Why is that? Gjert is not yet sentenced in court and he has after the break with his sons never expressed any threat. Here is money speaking loud where Jacob is suppose to be mentally "protected" as he can't stand see or be close to his father. If Jacob wins more a new Olympic golds it means a lot of money to the Norwegian national athletic organisation. Corruption, with other words where Jacob Ingebrigtsen is privileged and Narve Gilje Nordas is facing a discrimination as his trainer is not allowed to enter the athletic area. Gjert can however buy a ticket to the actual events but that is clearly not the same.
