Not everything was about non-sporting noise when Narve Gilje Nordås sat down with the Norwegian press ahead of the World Championships in Athletics. Jærbuen seemed very comfortable and gentle during the session. And despite everything, the season has brought a lot of joy to the 24-year-old who has been the big comet in the 1500 meters this year. The answer came quickly to questions about coach Gjert Ingebrigtsen’s refusal of accreditation bothering him: – It doesn’t look like that in training anyway, there it goes smoothly. The shoulders are lowered and I have managed to keep my composure. The WC program for Nordås 1500 metres: Trial heat, Saturday 19 August at 19.20 Semi-final, Sunday 20 August at 17.30 Final, Wednesday 23 August at 21.15 5000 metres: Opening heat, Thursday 24 August at 19 Final, Sunday 27 August at 20.20 – Best known as jogging In front of news, Nordås explains a little about what has happened in training that makes life smile. He has taken quantum leaps earlier in the season, but denies that the peak of form came too early. Together with coach Gjert Ingebrigtsen, they have steel control over how Nordås’s body is at any time, and shortly before the WC came new good answers. SUPER FORM: Narve Gilje Nordås sprints faster than ever before. Photo: Geir Olsen / NTB – We measure a lot of lactate, know how it is during the sessions and look at the speed. It’s better than ever. It flows better at competition speed and I get good answers from the lactate meter. Whether it is high or low is not so dangerous. It looks bright from a physical point of view, he says. news asks for an example of training numbers that ordinary people can understand. – 3.30 in 1500 meters is 300-meter passes in 42 seconds blank. It feels like jogging. You can watch the World Championships in Athletics on news’s channels and on news TV. Impressed Rodal Three minutes and 30 seconds is, as you know, a magical limit of 1,500 meters – a gold standard and something very few achieve during one season. He himself broke the limit for the first and so far only time during the Bislett Games this season. – When he says that he has the approval for a 300 meters and will run five on the rappel, that’s fine, says news’s athletics expert Vebjørn Rodal and continues: EXPERT: Vebjørn Rodal. Photo: Sigmund Sagberg Andersen / news – He has a good foundation and has shown this summer that he has kept his form over time. He has had a long period without competition to prepare for this championship, and I think that can have a positive effect. In London in July, Nordås secured the first podium place in his career in the Diamond League. He then waited for a long period at the height, before he has recently sharpened his form in the lowlands and collected surpluses for the year’s great climax. Come with a prediction He is one of eleven who have bitten under the 3.30 limit this season, and is being tipped by many as a medal candidate in Budapest. Among other things, by himself. – I am a medal contender, because it is not a given at all. I am an outsider. Jakob is the biggest favourite, but behind him I am one of those who can win a medal. Nordås leaves nothing to chance and refuses to lose focus on the vital work tasks. – The tactics will be important. There are 16 pieces in the trial heat, but only six will advance. A lot can go wrong, so you have to be sharp in the head too, he advises. Rodal agrees. – He is, as I see it, a fairly complete runner. He has stitches in his finishes when he is in good form and has managed his runs well this year. He is not a gold candidate, because I think Jakob reigns supreme there. But he is one of three, four or five who can fight for a medal. See the full program for the World Championships in Athletics here:
