"Jacob was no match for anyone in this field?" You mean no one was a match for him! Great video. I am so grateful that you post these races. We would have a difficult time finding this footage without your outstanding efforts.
His running economy / form is so damn good. He never looks like he’s “pushing” like other elite runners. Just looks smooth and effortless at every pace.
Great video I can hardly wait till Jakob finish he's business on the track and starts tackling the half and full marathon he will be the greatest miler ever to move up to the marathon I think he can do it he's running economy is godly
There’s some very interesting and likable runners of both genders right now. But I’m with you, I love watching him get after it and dominate. He seems to win with a vengeance. I’m here for that right now. As for the creator of this content….thanks. I really like your coverage of these races and athletes. Cheers running fans
Great. I hope he will finally compete in the World Cross-Country Championships, February (?) 2026 in Florida. He did run the junior race in Denmark in 2019 and finished about 12th.
Mike, it's a MUCH bigger deal in the US! ( Highschool/College). I come from Germany but have been a XC athlete in the US (highschool ) . ... Not even close!
Now it's time for him to take on the world and defeat the east Africans and become the first European in decades to win the world cross country championships.
You should do a video on Jameson Williams (Detroit Lions WR) about how he was almost a Pro Track and Field athlete. This would align perfectly with The Noah Lyles vs Tyreek Hill beef and could even stir it up enough to get them to race. This would be God’s work for the Track and Field Community. Anything to get Tyreek and Noah to Race lol
@@pete5691 wel to be fair it was a fast and short race... 7.5 km, crippa is better on longer distances compared to Ingebrigtsen... And yes Jakob is better overal but Crippa is still an outsanding athlete - 3x Euro champion - 13.02 5k -27,1 10k - 59.26 half marathon
Schrub won last year was heavily influenced with a lot of factors. And one of them I believed is because Jakob was injured and not competing in the previous years. But I still believe schrub and cripa was really great in this discipline. It just that they were lived the same era as Jakob,
Thx for the coverage. Great video, as usual. I wish these XC races were truly XC and not run on manicured fields in parks. Real, grueling uphills and narrow descents, leaping over streams, battling through longer grasses. Would be far more entertaining and less predictable.
In the women's race, Italy's Nadia Batocletti dominated and became the first female athlete to win European cross-country titles in Under-20, Under-23 and Seniors. The only male athlete to do so is fellow Italian Andrea Lalli. Jakob Ingebrigsten could have done so as well if he had ever competed at least one year in the U-23s.
Tells you everything you need to know that Jakob was far too good to compete at U23 level by that stage. A senior title is always better than an age group one. His legacy will be superior to Lalli's.
Dear Total Running Productions, I have checked everywhere on the internet, but I cannot find out why cross country running is NOT in the Olympics. Imagine a team of 5 runners and a team competition also being included!
There has been talk of adding it, but in a very modest, scaled-down format. Perhaps a relay or such. It would never be as big and competitive as the World Championships, with six (formerly nine) Kenyans, Ethiopians, Moroccans, etc.. And would the best runners do it, with track events the following week?
@@markovelikonja5399 regarding the best middle distance runners opting out to be too tired, I would be only one big 10k race for the guys and one 5k (probably) race for the women. There wouldn't be heats. As an athlete, you only get a finite number of chances to win an olympic gold. This would give them another chance per 4 year cycle.
@@markovelikonja5399 This is the reason. Scheduling difficulties etc. It will give countries that pump out distance runners in huge numbers a massive advantage. Ethiopia, Kenya have so many runners that they can afford to not have their best and still stand a chance to podium. Many other countries can't.
He is just 24 thats insane. I believe he might actually break all those records!! 3K record is by far the most insane accomplishments I have seen in distance running
Estimates are a bit off here. They actually went through 4119 metres in 11:58, which is 2:54/km, so I don't quite know where the 4.5km figure at 13:45 comes from but it's quite far off. Jakob did accelerate, of course, but not so much that he did 3.3km in 8:31.
So for seniors the race was 7.8k, not 7.5k. It's still a total disgrace how they are shrinking the distances at Euro Cross. Can't wait untill XC for us will be a 200m sprint across a potato field.
Hey everyone im writing a story about a professional XC league in the US and I need team names and xc courses. If anyone has any ideas for either of those that would be awesome!
Taking a rapid look on the WR list one can see the short interval of distances per each winner that suggest high specialization to beat a world record: El Guerrouj on 1,5 to 1,6 km, Ingebritsen on 2 to 3,5 km. Cheptegei on 5 to 10 km… I don’t trust Ingebritsen can beat even 5k record, maybe 1,5k but there are people who pass a lot of time on a single distance. Also genetics can be quite important on metabolic pathways that can decide the range of best performances of an athlete. Training is quite specialized also, spreading distances was never a good strategy in top 10 world best marks
@@pete5691if he put 3 seconds into komens 3k record then that should put him 5 seconds ahead over 5k which would just break the wr but sub 12:30 I don’t think we’ll see for a very long time

I heard that too 🤣, we will cut him some slack on that slip up
I mean it still sorta makes sense
Order does matter @@wickeli. Compare "Jakob was no match for Matt Choi" and "Matt Choi was no match for Jakob". Pretty clear which is the answer 🙃
Caught that too, i thought something's off! 😅
Yeah but in American-English you can make any shit up and claim it's correct! 😂😂😂😂😂
His running economy / form is so damn good. He never looks like he’s “pushing” like other elite runners. Just looks smooth and effortless at every pace.
His still finished the half marathon in 63m 13s, despite stopping to take a breather :-). Amazing
He literally enjoying his run 😂. congratulations for taking the gold medal for Norway and also for cripa for securing the 2nd position as well 🙌🏼
0:40 “But still Jakob was no match for anyone in this field”
Weird phrasing, makes it sound like he finished last. 😆
Great video I can hardly wait till Jakob finish he's business on the track and starts tackling the half and full marathon he will be the greatest miler ever to move up to the marathon I think he can do it he's running economy is godly
Jakob is my current favorite running athlete actually

Cause he wins
Great. I hope he will finally compete in the World Cross-Country Championships, February (?) 2026 in Florida. He did run the junior race in Denmark in 2019 and finished about 12th.
Crazy. A miler who is world class in XC.
Do some videos of NXN pleaseee
What is NXN?
@@magnusrylander nike cross nationals. national xc meet for US highschoolers.
@@bcloudy712 ah ok thanks
I said that too somewhere LOL. I think you could maybe even get an interview with Jane Hedengren...? :)
Crazy. This man is unbeatable
I love these videos! Especially the distance ones, but even the sprinter videos. Nice work!
Having run cross-country in high school, I envy the status the sport is given in Europe.
It's a much bigger deal in the US, I'm sure. Maybe the UK, but I woudn't say it araises much of an interest in the continental Europe
Mike, it's a MUCH bigger deal in the US! ( Highschool/College). I come from Germany but have been a XC athlete in the US (highschool ) . ... Not even close!
Imagine cross country as an Olympic event. That would be so much fun.
Swimming and Running ❤️
But not run in a park. Run in the rough country with steep hills, streams, woods, etc.
Yes, with hazards! :)
Amazing run. Jakob looks like he is just out for a afternoon run not this crazy pace. Incredible runner.
He will crush Kerr’s indoor two mile record this indoor season… 😎
we need an nxn video now!! hedengren absolutely destroys the field and vause pulls off nxns biggest upset ever.
@ 0:41 “…But still…Jakob was just no match for anyone in this field.” 🤨
Love it you did not ask us what we thought about it. Lol
Post race Jakob said he plans to run the 1500 in Lievin. We might very well see the first sub 3:30 indoor there the 13th of February 2025.
Let's not forget that despite "dying" after 10k during the Copenhagen Half, he broke the Norwegian 10k road record with a time of 27:27.
Jacob's still got it!!!
Now it's time for him to take on the world and defeat the east Africans and become the first European in decades to win the world cross country championships.
Norwegian 🇳🇴 POWER ❤
Oil and gas, or wind?
I hope Jakob goes for the indoor mile and/or 3000m world record this indoor season
Please do a feature on Yaseen Abdalla! 2:11 in the olympic marathon into 4th at NCAA's and then a 7:34/13:22 3k/5k double at BU

Even with the hype for Crippa, Yann Schrub (defending champ) et al...he barely got out of second gear. Man was coasting.
They are forever hyping crippa.
@@pete5691 wel to be fair it was a fast and short race... 7.5 km, crippa is better on longer distances compared to Ingebrigtsen... And yes Jakob is better overal but Crippa is still an outsanding athlete

Can't wait to see him have a go at the mile/1500.
thanks for sharing
He is just 24 thats insane. I believe he might actually break all those records!! 3K record is by far the most insane accomplishments I have seen in distance running
at 5:58 the half marathon is wrong I believe. Yomif Kajelcha recently broke that record by one second
I'm looking forward to the mile world record.
Jakob has ended up east african dominance in track and field
The Norwegian goat 🐐
Let's wait for the world's, East African countries unluckily aren't allowed in the European chamlionships😅😂
@grandimperialkevin4829 I guess you didn't watch the olympics
@klsojenzljbenodbd at the Olympics East African countries are allowed to compete at the European Championships?
@klsojenzljbenodbd hahahahah
amazing!
Jakob
I still don't understand how 7'17 is possible
Let’s see what happens at the xc world championships 👀
Is he running it do you know?
He has done okay for himself.
'w' makes the /v/ sound in Polish, so Lewandowski would be pronounced like /Levandovski/. But I am thankful you tried :D
Love your videos. I don’t know if you have but if you haven’t could you do a video on Mo farrah and his running journey
BEASTED
It'll be interesting to see how he does at World Cross, if in fact he participates.
believe me guys, this man is no joke

Jakob can already run the 5k record at any point right now, mid season he can probably do 12.25 or even 12.20 this year
5:37 Jacob KIplimos Half Mararthon WR was broken
If only Prefontaine could have run like this guy.
The first lap was about 1.8km, not 1.5
impressive as it is, that seems like a very unsportsmanlike move to make in the middle of a race!
Crippa ran good took the fight to him
What shoes are they running in? Track shoes? Doesn't look like trail shoes
Cross country spikes
3 laps was 4.8k, first lap was 1800m, i did junior u20 race.
So for seniors the race was 7.8k, not 7.5k. It's still a total disgrace how they are shrinking the distances at Euro Cross. Can't wait untill XC for us will be a 200m sprint across a potato field.
I want to see him run world xc
The HM WR is wrong
Meanwhile, his supposed "rival" again is nowhere to be seen...
Hey everyone im writing a story about a professional XC league in the US and I need team names and xc courses. If anyone has any ideas for either of those that would be awesome!
Yooo Magnus what the hell bro you used to bully me on rr3
You forgot his two European Jr outdoor Titles at 3000m steeplechase and 5000m
Taking a rapid look on the WR list one can see the short interval of distances per each winner that suggest high specialization to beat a world record: El Guerrouj on 1,5 to 1,6 km, Ingebritsen on 2 to 3,5 km. Cheptegei on 5 to 10 km…

Kerr and Gressier should've been there (unless they're injured)
The Olympic champion didn't even need to run this race, but I guess the money is a good reward still
5:37 isn’t WR in HM 57:30 by Kejelcha?
Jakob Ingebrigtsen 10k world record 2025!
🤯🤯
A nice little touch would be a 2 mile indoor record methinks 😂😂
It sucks to be Crippa. Would have won droves of titles if it wasn’t for Jakob.
Has to be said.
What happened last year?
Cross country is his best! A true natural!
And after the Lewandowski loss, he tested positiv for Covid the day after or so.
Bro would already be the goat if he didn’t get sick
Not correct! -The covid positive test was after WC indoors 2022…
"" Secratariat is running like a great machine.""
First lap was 1.8km
w video
I would pose the question, how many top 25 , 5-10k guys are European??
Jog.
Makes 4 minute pace look like a jog
Does he look...somehow bigger? beefier?
As a die hard BP fan even I am embarrassed by the Canadian guesswork here. We are geographically attached. Learn the western hemisphere maps.
Sub 12:30 in the 5k ?🤣 the glazing is insane
What times are you thinking?
@@pete5691idk what he can run for 5k but I know it’s not 12:29😂
Commenting to come back in a few years in case he does it
@ He destroyed both of Komens records, Komen ran 12:39 and Jakobs pb is from several years ago and hasn’t run a paced 5k in years if ever.
@@pete5691if he put 3 seconds into komens 3k record then that should put him 5 seconds ahead over 5k which would just break the wr but sub 12:30 I don’t think we’ll see for a very long time
Brendastrubistein could off beaten him if he was faster
Did Josh 'Juan' Kerr win?
A healthy Cole Hocker will be a threat in 2025.
A healthy Jakob will be unbeatable
I honestly feel bad. He looks like he doesn’t enjoy what he does
He's just Norwegian.
Huh? You know it hurts to push your body like this? Go out and run a fast 5 k and see how fun it is
Still lost in the olympics wjere it matters the most
Cheater😂
No proof
Cheaters, everyone knows how he win race!
Enlighten us
