– It can be a bit long. This is how Filip Ingebrigtsen sums up the half marathon that both he and stepbrother Jakob Asserson Ingebrigtsen will run on Sunday. For the running star ventures into unknown waters when he has to cover the 21.0975 kilometers in the streets of Copenhagen. Ingebrigtsen has never run more than 20 kilometers in her life, and never more than ten kilometers in competition. Now the big brother comes with a clear warning. – If he stays with the decent boys up front, I think he can have a bit of a tough time at the end, says Filip Ingebrigtsen to news. Watch the Copenhagen half marathon with Jakob Asserson Ingebrigtsen on NRK1 from 09.30 on Sunday. He also makes a prediction that it is fifty-fifty whether the weasel brother will cross the finish line. Because it is set up to a durable pace, more likely to be a world record for the distance. In the race, he will meet world record holder Jacob Kiplimo from Uganda and world champion Sabastian Sawe. The current world record is 57.31 minutes. This corresponds to a speed of 21.95 kilometers per hour, a speed that ordinary treadmills sometimes do not reach. – The best is a negative split where you open conservatively and have a lot to run with at the end. But it is often opposed because you get a bit of over-ignition, says Filip Ingebrigtsen. WARNING: Filip Ingebrigtsen is clear about what traps must be avoided during the half marathon broadcast by news on Sunday.

But it is nowhere near what is being discussed tomorrow, says Jakob Asserson Ingebrigtsen to news. – Are you nervous? – Absolutely, he replies. AFTERTRACT: Jakob Asserson Ingebrigtsen is one of the biggest names in the athletics world – when he now competes in the half-marathon, there are of course many who want a piece of him as well. Photo: Fredrik Solbu Jullumstrø / news The race will take place just two days after he stormed to victory in the Diamond League final of 1500 meters in Brussels. The running star is not so worried about that. What he is worried about, however, is the pain that comes during the race. – There are still a few more hours, and I hope I get some sleep, so I can’t get nervous too early. But I get nervous from the lactate pain (lactic acid). When I start to feel the pain and get tired, there is a kind of nervousness along the way, says Jakob Asserson Ingebrigtsen, who adds that he has no idea if he can win the race. ROCK STARS: Just before the Olympics, the Ingebrigtsen brothers launched a music video – which received a mixed reception in the Olympic village from the Norwegian athletes. – Will not slow him down When the pain shows up, it can be a comfort that he is not alone in it. By his side, Jakob Asserson Ingebrigtsen will therefore have his older brother with him. He poses as a hare and must ensure that his weasel brother is kept in check. – I’m not going to slow him down, but I’ll try to moderate it a bit, says Filip Ingebrigtsen. – What kind of records do you think he is capable of taking? – I’m guessing he takes the family record, he replies. – More records? – Yes, there are many records, but I think a personal record must be first prize. Get to the goal and feel what it’s like. It can be a bit long, says Filip Ingebrigtsen. SPEED HOLDER: Smila will probably not sit as loosely as in this picture during the race tomorrow.

Photo: VEGARD WIVESTAD GRØTT / BILDBYRÅN Jakob Asserson Ingebrigtsen says he has to see if he can hang on to the announced record speed. – In the first minutes, the elite field will probably follow the world record speed. That’s how it always is. For many of us, we will probably soon realize whether it is too fast or too slow. It will definitely be a challenge, he says.
