Intermittently. The younger Ingebrigtsen seems to have run 3:42 for his 1500 today, steadily improving. Asbel runs a hot mile today at 3:30pm EST, pacers slated to go through in 2:47 for 1200, and Nick Willis also is looking for something fast I believe?

Try this in 25 mins. Showing tennis now. Youll have to close a few cross boxes first - not the main ones but the hidden ones. Youll see what i mean. Hope it works - let me know!

Converts to around 4:00.2x for a full mile - incredible for a 15-year-old. He finished near the middle of the pack in a professional race.
This kid is 3 full years younger than Hunter and Slagowski and just a second or two behind...he could be a force in the 2020 Olympics at the age of 19.
Thanks for the video. His bib hanging off must have been worth at least another few seconds!
I'm making this the official thread. Before the TV window began, there was a great 1500.
Men’s 1500: 15-year-old Jakob Ingebrigtsen runs 3:42.44
Australian 800 champ Luke Mathews continued his fine 2016 season by getting the convincing win here in 3:37.99, but the big story was the man -- or should we say boy? -- who finished in 9th place. Jakob Ingebrigtsen, who was born in the year 2000 and doesn’t turn 16 until September, sliced over two seconds off his pb to run 3:42.44, the equivalent of a 4:00 mile. He began the year with a 3:48 pb but has already run 3:45, 3:44 and now 3:42 in 2016. Ingebrigtsen has great genes as older brothers Filip (23 years old, 3:36 pb) and Henrik (25 years old, 3:31 pb, 5th at 2012 Olympics) are both extremely talented runners. But Jakob could wind up becoming the best of the bunch.
Quick Take #1: Get this guy in a mile
As far as we can tell, the youngest sub-4 miler in history is Jim Ryun, who did it as a 17-year-old high school junior in 1964. Ingebrigtsen, at 15, would have a chance to shatter that record if he can get in a mile some time this year.
The temps are great for distance running.
14 celsius = 57.2 degreees.
W3KSt pacemakers out at 9 minute tempo and Kiyeng latches right on!
3:03 for 1K and Kiyeng is there, but so are a few other women. Kiyeng making a push here telling the pacer to speed up.
Men’s 400 hurdles: Cuban-born Yasmani Copello of Turkey earns first career DL win
Copello, who stands 6’1†and was 6th at Worlds last year, was done no favors by the lane draw as he started from lane 1, but he came on strong over the final 100 and won a close three-way battle in 48.79 over Puerto Rico’s Javier Culson and the U.S.’s Michael Tinsley, who won in Shanghai and Eugene.
Culson, running blind in lane 8, got out well and led off the final turn, but Copello and Tinsley were both working hard to reel him in on the home straight. In the end, it was Copello who was strongest, edging ahead over the final few meters to take the win.
This was progress for Culson, who broke 49 seconds for the first time this year. He was only 7th at Drake, 8th in Shanghai and 7th at Pre. Kenya’s Nicholas Bett struggled again and was only sixth in 49.85, over two seconds slower than what he ran to win the World Champs in Beijing last year.

No one runs the mile in Norway :-)
Running under 4 minutes means nothing.
Running under 3.40 in 1500 is different.
14 degress C and negligible wind....could see some FAST times in the distance races! Hoping we get some exciting races.
6:08 at 2K so the record / sub-9 looks way out of reach but it's still fast with Kiyeng way ahead.
Australian Record under threat
9:09.60 for Kiyeng

758 with a lap to go. So no sub-9. Someone said the Aussie record is under threat. What it is?
Kiyang runs a 3:01 to finish at 9:09.60.
