– If Jakob Ingebrigtsen had not existed, we would have been even more overwhelmed by the excitement of what these runners achieve, says news’s athletics commentator, Jann Post. Jakob Ingebrigtsen is the child star who became the best runner in the world. From a young age he set a number of Norwegian age records, but this year several of them have changed names. Because things are growing well in Norwegian athletics. Berre asks Magnus Øyen (16) and Andreas Fjeld Halvorsen (17), who this season have surpassed some of Ingebrigtsen’s achievements when he was the same age. – Extremely promising level Øyen lowered Ingebrigtsen’s record for 3000 meters by 12 seconds to 8.10.07 this spring. Later in the season he ran 14.17.51 in the 5000 metres, over 20 seconds faster than Ingebrigtsen at the same age. Halvorsen erased Ingebrigtsen’s junior record in the 3000 meters this summer. 7.47.04 is more than six seconds better than the sand runner. TALENT: Magnus Øyen.

I am very satisfied with the time anyway, says Halvorsen. Post allowed himself to be impressed by the duo. – Both have shown extremely promising levels. There is no doubt about that. Then there are few in the world throughout the ages who tolerate comparison with Jacob. It will be unfair to do to them. But it’s fun that they can chase some of his records, says the commentator. Following the Ingebrigtsen recipe The Ingebrigtsen brothers have paved the way for a new generation of runners. With world-class results, the trio has shown that anything is possible. – It shows that you can succeed even if you are from here, says Øyen. But the brothers have also inspired in training. Øyen runs 100–140 kilometers a week, in Ingebrigtsen fashion. Halvorsen follows the same recipe. – It is the Norwegian method, as people call it. It is threshold. There is a lot of control in the training, with the right intensity, so you don’t overtrain. To get a smooth and nice progression from year to year. That’s what most people here do, says Øyen after winning the National Championships in cross-country running for 16-year-olds. The Ingebrigtsen family popularized so-called double threshold training. Simply explained, it involves carrying out two threshold sessions in one day. The goal is a higher volume with high intensity, but without exhausting the body for the next session. To check that the intensity level is correct, the lactate values in the blood are measured. The training format has become hugely popular internationally, and at home in Norway, Narve Gilje Nordås has also had great success with the same recipe – It started with Ingebrigtsen, and I don’t really need to say the rest. There are several people who have been successful with it for a while, so there is no point in reinventing the wheel. I do the same as them, says Øyen. He can look back on silver from EYOF earlier in the season, and at the weekend he impressed in 10 kilometers during the Hytteplanmila with 29.36 minutes. Post considers the preliminary work of Ingebrigtsen and co. pray for fruits. COMMENTATOR: Jann Post.

This has made the younger generation less modest, set high goals and believe that it is possible to be the best, even if you come from this cold stone pile. Troubled season The age record at 3,000 meters was a big boost for Fjeld Halvorsen after a difficult season. A stress fracture in the calf caused trouble for the great talent. – There were three months without running and one month with build-up. Then I got in shape before the U20 EC, but struggled there with 400 meters to go. I actually felt pretty good, so it was crazy. There has been a real lift at the end, so there is something to take with you, he says after winning the junior class in the cross-country national championship.
