"...moving down to the 1500 and can perform relatively well in that event." --Jakob Ingebrigtsen, 1500m Olympic champion

No comment about Jakob, that guy is just crazy. The interviewer though was almost equally as impressive. Very interesting questions that looked like they got even Jakob interested to talk. Good stuff.

I LOVE this interviewer and the questions he's asking! Really going into the meat, asking the detailed and rich questions that are truly important. I wish him the best in his career. Keep doing what you're doing man!

Wonderful interview... the pauses between the answers shows how much thought he's putting into each question.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such an in-depth, thoughtful interview. Beyond inspiring for track fans and recreational runners to get these glimpses into a champion’s training philosophy and mindset. Fascinating.

All your interviews from this meet have been much more interesting than the other crews, it is almost awkward how unexpected/unique a lot of the questions are, you can see it on the athletes’ faces. However, they yield thoughtful responses. You’ve done it very very well here. Get this guy at all future meets.

I’ve seen nearly every Jakob interview in the last 5 years and this was the best. Best interviewer to date. You’ve struck gold Citius!!!

Excellent interview. Well done. Jakob reacted well to your intelligent questions.

What an interview - demonstrating the mindeset of a great runner. No better man than David Mc Carthy on the mike. His experience in running shining through with charisma! We want more!

Wow a sports interview with substance. Good interviewer and a willing interviewee!

Great interview. Jakob sensed David’s genuine interest.

Best Jakob interview I’ve ever seen. Wish we would have this interviewer on the BBC!

David Mc knows athletics. Really cool to see him in this role, his love and enthusiasm for the sport is clear for all to see

The most impressive attribute Jakob has is his tempered intellectual comprehsion of of how each part fits into the whole. Many athletes kill themselves in training & subsequently underperform when it counts the most. As they say " attitude sets altitude " He's poised for more great things to happen.........

Kudos to the interviewer and the world record holder! Brilliant!

Great interview, really well delivered which allowed Jacob to really open up.., so revealing

A great interview. Looking foreward to the next race, in Oslo. I think what Jakobs main point is that there is no reason to celebrate a great session if it doesnt accomplish anything specific - when it comes to building up the form to the next race or the season in general. It is like Ingrid Kristiansen said - people could beat her at training. But never in the races. They have a plan for the sessions, what they want to accomplish, what they want to get out of it, and the main goal is to always improve and get ready to win the world championship later this season. And obviously also to be able to chase records - when the conditions are there, and when he is fast enough. But like they say, a world record can always be beaten, but a gold medal you get to keep.

It seems "Olympic champion " is his baseline of expectations so only sees himself as performing "relatively well" at 1500/mile because he's still not at world record level. His mindset is best ever, and he knows he's got what it takes to tick off the longer distances (3000+) but the 1500/mile needs his focus now in order to have a chance at getting the best ever at those events.

Great questions man....really got a more in depth look into Jakob's thinking of world records....fab job

Outstanding interview! Get David at all the diamond leagues, he asks thoughtful questions and you can tell the athletes appreciate it!

Smashes the 2-mile record, and humbly declares ‘I need to improve’ regarding the 1500 and mile. Incredible mindset and focus.

He's very humble 😌 🙏 ✨️, i love watching him, he's so focused and relaxed, he'll b running i hope 4 a many yrs ❤️

One of the best running interviews I've seen. Jakob's insights into training and mentality are fascinating. He's so on the mark with everything he said. The citius interviewer is also gold. Saving this one!

I seldom bookmark interviews. This one is for the history books. well done Jakob. your patience, professionalism and kindness was impressive. honestly... if only more reporters knew how to interview like David. pure joy. thanks for posting.

ngl, this has to be one of the best interviews I've seen in quite some time. Very encapsulating to listen to

He is still developing well, end of discussion 😊

The concept of confidence remodelled by Jakob. I totally get it because whether running or singing performance you pace yourself to the ultimate highlight. That said, on the right occasion it’s okay to smash a workout out of the park. Not because you’re proving something to yourself, but because you can. What a wonderful insightful interview.

Great interviewer, I’ve been hearing him the last couple of weeks on KZfaq interviewing other athletes he relates to everybody so equally. I think athletes really enjoy talking to him.

I love this. Jakob is such a brilliant runner. It's so cool hearing his thoughts about running and how he feels he can still improve.

Smashing interview! At times it sounds like Jakob is talking with one of his close training partners. 👌

Finally a good interview

This is the best interviewer I’ve ever seen.

Truly an epic run the 2 miles at well under the previous world best. It's a man killer of an event. Sub 8 minutes is an incredibly a tough ask.

Agree, great interview with thoughtful answers.

Good interviewer man

Very good interview. Good job! And.... Jakob will need that 1500m world record to seal his fate as the greatest distance runner that ever lived, in my opinion.

Great interview!! That 800 workout and could have gone faster on all of them...😱🤯

Brilliant interview, kudos to the interviewer for actually asking some interesting questions. 👍

one of the best interviews I have seen from Jakob, well done!

Fantastic interview, one can understand from Jacob's words why he such a great champion. Respect

Great interview and great answers by Jakob! I think we can all learn from his approach to training and racing.

Excellent questions

I'm more surprised that as a non-native speaker he can understand Irish accent.

Great interview!

Superb interview!

I recently found your channel and I've enjoyed watching your interviews. Great job! and looking forward to more of your content. Of course amazing answers by Jakob Ingebritsen and amazing race he had!

He’s capable of breaking the 3000m WR now- crazy… He wants to focus on the 1500m/ mile while in his prime.

awesome interview. subscribed....big up

Thank you so much for the enlightening interview!

Jacob great run & congratulations.

Excellent interview

Outstanding interview

This performance was legendary. Smashing the world record. What a stud

Great interview! 👍🇧🇻

Scary good; 3.26 is beyond him but the 2000 and 3000 !!!!! Can't wait

Great interview! Well done.

It’s great that he acknowledges that the 1500 and the mile WR would (yes, would) be the highlight of his career, Hicham, did you hear that ?

As many others have already said, the interviewer is fantastic. I've seen a number of other race interviews he's done and they're always thoughtful interesting questions that help us get to know the athletes better. Anybody know the guy's name?

Impressive perspectives from such a younger runner. Almost all runners you would ask these questions to would likely answer "I just do what coach tells me".

Great interview, interviewer! Thanks!

Brilliant interview! Earned a sub

'relatively' !! Hilarious. It's great to have so many fantastic track and field athletes around right now.

I didn't think a 7:54.10 was possible. That is so fast!!!!!

Great interview. Really interesting.

incredible

Kid is switched on ✌️🇳🇴😎

Those Flash earrings are spot on👍👍. He was definitely tapping into the SpeedForce. Run Jakob Run👍👍

David McCarthy already the best interviewer out there! 🇮🇪 And Jakob is one clever cat. When he retires he should coach coaches how to be better coaches.

I was glued for the entire interview. This is must see for every distance coach. WARNING [ it is a delivery for the thinking man. Heaven forbid that I have worked in-out-around this concept my entire coaching life. "Bloody" amazing and thank you Ingebritsen family - all. Yet, "Please Don't Call Me Coach"... prefer to be called Gamechanger or Playmaker or Storyteller". Does it get any better than this??

The Best Jakob Fantastlc run...

“Relatively” well in the 1500😂😂

Love this interviewer!

Wow, wow, wow!!! Respect! 🙂

King!

The interviewer is great!

6 x 800 meters the day prior to the race. INSANE.

Good questions, and good answers. Here's hoping they can buy a slightly better microphone for such interviews.

Does anyone have the link to actual race with English commentary

To beat the wr of moroccan prince hicham is very difficult with 3.26.00 also the mile 3.43

“Our training is only fundamentals of performance wellness runner “ Jakob said

We all know that Daniel Komens 3k world record is on his mind the most difficult to beat many have tried and failed. But in time i believe he has the speed and mental strength as well as physical to challenge that record soon enough. I look forward to his attempts at 10k, half marathon and lastly the marathon in the future if he decides to do them.

5:00 wow,

Please Jakob, go into Marathon as soon as you have done your job on these events. 😀

I’ll be rooting for this guy…

you can link me the session that you told on Tweeter ? tnsk :)

I just wanna see him in 5k / 10k shape. That speed for closing would be lethal

He should try the steeplechase. Bet he’d be good.

He’s going to be wild if he tries to take the 3K world record sometime

Tell me you can get Olympic Gold in every middle distance/distance event without telling me.. LOL

Their dad taught them well

He could smash the 5000m world record maybe be the 1st to sub 4 min mile the 5000m

Fun fact: he almost covered the first 3,000 meters of this WR during this video's duration.

I've heard that before, at lower level track n field. But apparently, it's true of really good runners, too, needing a result in 'practice,' to buff confidence. Course. He's a young man. And if he sees someone rising up fast, when he's 30, he might have to come down on this person in practice, too. Anyway. The view from the top must be pretty interesting for Ingebrigtsen.

He will get Hicham El Guerrouj's incredible 1500m record within 2 years.

You needs to take the world record of 1500m , then 5000m

he has really pretty skin

He’s proud of himself. 😏 No that was an amazing race

My boy is gorgeous too? im done whit this guy

Do Norwegians learn English in school?

One of our golden boy in norway. Im proud
