literally what was the point in making this thread. People have said he has peaked since he was 16 years old and wow! Would you look at that. He just set a 2 mile world record. You’re an idiot

Jakob just set the 2 mile record. If he sets any other records he will need to do it in the next few weeks.
Jakob also ran that 6x800 closing in 2x 1:49... 1500/mile pace is there. He ran his final 3k in 7:21... This fitness won't last forever.
He also has to beat Girma who's steeple is equal to the 2 mile(he did that without the greatest hurdle technique) and Yared who went 3:46 indoors.
Jakob is only 22. He probably has 3-4 more years left where he can continue to get faster, then about another 3-4 of either trying to hold that or move up in distance.

These next few weeks will be as fast as he will ever get...His fastest season. He needs to go 3000, 1500, mile, 5000. No delay.
Yared and Girma can be his spoilers.
Oh, the "Jakob has peaked" threads start early this year!
I think you are trolling but since many posters on these pages - more or less consciously - are influenced by the idea that he must be peaking or close to because "he has trained for so long" I will once again explain WHY HE ISN´T CLOSE TO PEAKING:
It is quite simple: His training is almost completely focused on developing his aerobic capacity which he will be able to improve step by step for a long time from now and thus improving his times from the 1500m (and even the 800m) and up.
I don´t think anyone is on the same level at the moment from the 1500m to 5000m (or 10,000m?). Neither Yared nor Girma, Tim, Katir or other.

Lots of posters have claimed he stopped improving last year or 2021.
