Jakob Ingebrigtsen 2 Mile World Record Attempt!

Can Jakob Ingebrigtsen run the 2 mile world record held by Daniel Komen. He has a chance, but it will be a tough ask.

Jakob Ingebrigtsen already holds the indoor 1500m world record, so this is his first outdoor World record attempt at the Paris Diamond league on the 9th of June

Hosted by Lloyd Kempson

Jakob to norwegian TV2 today; "Chasing the world record for two English miles:

Shocked himself in training

Jakob Ingebrigtsen was in much better shape than he thought himself when he made the final touches before the world record attempt." (6x800 m, last 1.49.50!!)

If Joshua Cheptegei could run three 4:01s in a row to get the 5000m world record, surely Jakob can run two 3:59s. Surely!

I can’t wait to see this race! Thank you for the analysis. Great video as always 👍

not only did he beat it but he destroyed it by 4 seconds!

[petersamaras]

On a good day he can definitely get this. I predict 7:57 low

[Andrew-suds]

Bro just did 7:54 with a negative split

[rainiersousa]

2 miles to 7:58.00 resulted in 83.1 vdot
3000 meters for 7:20.00 resulted in 83.6 vdot
