JAKOB INGEBRIGTSEN & TIMOTHY CHERUIYOT - Attacking the 1500 Meter World Record! || The Road to 3:26

These 2 athletes are quickly proving themselves as the absolute best in the world. On August 14th, Timothy Cheruiyot ran a world-leading 1500 meter time of 3:28.45, narrowly defeating his Norwegian rival by only 0.23 seconds (Jakob's finishing time was 3:28.68).

These 2 performances landed both Cheruiyot and Ingebrigtsen as the 7th ad 8th fastest athletes in the history of the event, but what was rather strange was the manner with which they ran this amazing 1500. Unlike typical top-tier performances, the pacing was extremely quick for the opening 400 (52.59 opening lap for Cheruiyot), and while this type of opening lap typically spells disaster for anyone who dare follow, Cheruiyot still managed a 3:28.

The next matchup of these 2 running experts is Sunday, August 23rd, 2020 in Stockholm, Sweden, where both Cheruiyot and Ingebrigtsen will almost certianly run historic times.
