Did anyone see the interview prior to him demolishing the 2 mile? He was asked to comment on what he thinks runners do wrong. His quick response: overtraining.
I paraphrasing but he said that too many people overtrain because they lack confidence in themselves and overtrain thinking they need to do more.
I thought it was interesting. Jakob certainly doesn’t lack confidence LOL. After the 2 mile was the most I’ve ever seen him celebrate a race with a 100m jog holding the World Record placard.
