As president of the Jakob Ingebrigtsen fan club - he won the 1500 and 3000 at the European championships https://www.letsrun.com/news/2025/03/wtw-15-year-old-sam-ruthe-stuns-a-big-time-pro-down-under-jakob-gets-his-triple-much-more/ 4. Can you Improve your running by running less? a. Dry training (exercises/lifting): - Plyometrics jumps (box jumps or no box) - Deadlifts (hamstrings) - Bulgarian Split squats b. Intermittent Hypoxia training (forcing your body to use oxygen more efficiently) - breathing in at a reduced rate (in 3 steps or 4 steps) for short stints - Breathing techniques at home - Breath through nose during parts of runs c. Invisible training - Sleeping is critical to recovery - Strategic nutrition before training (carbs and hydration) - Active recovery and massages (foam roller. walk and cycle on off days). d. Train like the Kenyains - extremely slow runs (builds cardio base). - running technique - being more efficient / high cadence - run in groups https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgzQZTgRNCKXCvtgCGfCZFGSTQdvg?compose=jrjtXMmZQwxLtxFqllfjFwWRQVxKnPWgJDwdhdrzgnzKJTzJsTbkcfkbXbhWCNRkSMQJHxfq 5. Why WR are falling (a March 9, 2025 video) - His youtube video captures a lot of what we talked about on prior episodes but puts it all together nicely. You can decide if it's worth bringing up. 1. Super Shoes and Super Spikes 2. Track - new tech is adding energy return (2%) from just a few years ago (per the manufacturer). 3. WR lights on the track (we mentioned last week). 4. BiCarb and other legal supplements (Beets and Broccoli Sprouts extracts and Caffeine supplements). 5. Pushing WR indoors is more of a NEW phenomena. 6. More scientific and dialed in training techniques (Lactic acid testing....etc) - preventing injury. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YoorDjE7-I

Ingerbrigtsen in court - crazy story of family abuse by father who pushed his children to be the best. Over four hours of testimony, Jakob detailed how he had been punched and kicked by his father when he was at primary school and been threatened with being beaten to death, and outlined multiple other incidents which he said had left him emotionally damaged. Jakob told the court that he and his brothers had finally decided that enough was enough in 2022, when Ingrid was hit in the face with a wet towel, leaving a red mark, because she did not want to go for a run. It was at that point they split from their father and coach and told their story to the Norwegian newspaper VG. Gjert, who faces up to six years in prison if convicted, has denied any allegation of violence. https://www.thetimes.com/article/2907767e-cac0-4aca-beab-14af05f09e14?shareToken=61f3f99a825d29efe0573d714eb0d72e https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/mar/25/jakob-ingebrigtsen-tells-court-of-fear-and-control-in-testimony-against-father 3.
