The rumors have spread, and news has already secured the rights to broadcast the race on Sunday. Jakob Asserson Ingebrigtsen is cryptic about the time being ripe to debut at a new distance. – I don’t have a plane ticket home. So first of all I’m going to run here tomorrow. If it goes fantastically well, then we’ll see what happens, says Ingebrigtsen to news. – Is it relevant to run in Copenhagen on Sunday, as we have heard talk about from fairly well-informed quarters? – I don’t know that. It’s a race, but it’s also a 5,000-metre race, so first of all I’ll run 1,500, then we’ll see if there’s anything else, he replies. CRYPTIC: Jakob Ingebrigtsen will not deny or confirm whether the season continues after the Diamond League in Brussels.

Do you do that too? – I am here to run 1,500 metres. – So you don’t want to say anything about running in Copenhagen? – As I said, I am here to run 1,500 metres. I have trained and done everything I can to be as well prepared as possible for it. news expert: – Enormously exciting news has been in contact with the organiser, who refers to the team around Ingebrigtsen when it comes to the Norwegian’s competition plan. – It is hugely exciting. It’s absolutely raw. He seems a little impulsive, and it almost seems like he can take these challenges head on. He is not afraid of shadows, smiles news’s athletics expert Vebjørn Rodal about Ingebrigtsen’s possible race in Copenhagen. The Norwegian runner does not want to confirm what he wants to do at the press conference after the news interview. – I’m focusing on Friday’s race, and I don’t know what to do when there’s a competition break. But I am focused and well prepared for the race tomorrow. I have mainly focused on training for 1500 meters since May, so I think it will be good, says Ingebrigtsen. Because it’s not just any challenge he faces. World record holder Jacob Kiplimo is on the starting line together with world champion Sabastian Sawe, and they will run fast.

Photo: Darko Vojinovic/Andreas Gora / AP Set for world record speed The organizer has set up hares to race towards a finish time of 57.00 minutes – 31 seconds faster than has ever been run. – It is a record-breaking track, where it has been run very fast in the past. A world record was set in 2019, which was later beaten by Kiplimo, says Jann Post, who will comment on the race for news. Ingebrigtsen said after the 2nd place in the 1500 meters in Zurich that he thought this year’s record hunt was over after an illness break, although he felt surprisingly good along the way. Post is very excited about what Ingebrigtsen can achieve if he starts. – I am quite confident that Jakob can set Norwegian and European records, but whether he can keep up with the world record speed is extremely exciting…, says Post. – I’m not writing him off there either. I don’t do that, but it could be that he faces a challenge muscularly after 17 kilometers, says Rodal. HAPPY: Vebjørn Rodal and Jann Post are excited about the news that Jakob Ingebrigtsen will try his hand at the half marathon.

There, European champion Karoline Bjerkeli Grøvdal runs for a strong time. – Never say never Half marathon is one of ten distances Jakob Ingebrigtsen has set himself the goal of setting a world record during his career. He already holds the records at 2,000 metres, 3,000 meters and two English miles (3,219 metres). When news spoke to Ingebrigtsen before the meeting in Lausanne on 22 August, shortly before he set the record in the 3000 metres, he did not think we would see much of him on the tarmac. – I don’t think so. You should never say never, but I try to be as good as I can. That is what is important right now. – I think that I will chase world records for 1500 and one English mile on the track, and only when I manage to do that, then I will consider other things. It is an enormously difficult task, so we will put in the work and do the best we can this year to see if we can get close and manage it, said Ingebrigtsen.

He still retained the European record and the silver medal. The half-marathon world record is 57.31 minutes and is owned by Kiplimo. The Swiss Julien Wanders holds the European record with 59.13, while the Swedish Andreas Almgren is the best man from the Nordics with 59.23 from the spring season. Sondre Nordstad Moen’s Norwegian record is 59.48. – He has spent 15 years of his life getting the highest possible threshold speed, simply explained to maintain a high speed without freezing. Simply put, it is the speed you can maintain for approximately one hour. The biggest question is the muscular endurance, Post believes. Lack of specific training He hardly thinks that Ingebrigtsen has had all the type of specific training that he would do if he were to prepare optimally for a half marathon, especially considering that he has been ill and is still in full competition on the track. – It is typical that the best will have an interval session with a volume of 12 to 15 kilometers at half-marathon speed. I doubt that he has done that now. He also comes straight from the world record in the 3000 metres, so the form is there, says Post. PS! Jakob Ingebrigtsen and Narve Gilje Nordås run 1500 meters in the Diamond League final in Brussels, Friday at 21.27. The broadcast starts at 20.00 on news 1.
