- In this video I reveal the secret running form / running technique tips that Jakob uses to pull away from elite athletes with absolute ease. I'm sure many of you have watched his running form, and often thought; How does he make it look so easy? Well - Here are a few tips I picked up as I analysed his proper running form, and put it into a video for you all so that you how to run like Jakob, and run faster (without having to get fitter). From his Indoor Track running races, to outdoor diamond league races, and to the olympic final - I'll show you how you can adopt these running form tips to improve your 5km, 10km, half marathon and marathon. Jakob Ingebrigtsen's easy running form hacks are an absolute game-changer. Don't miss out on this extraordinary opportunity to learn from a true running prodigy.

Summary:
Now the aim of the game for middle distance races from 1500 meters to 10,000 meters is efficiency, and saving energy throughout the race, and even from an early age, Jakob had mastered this to get to the finishing line first. Jakob has a relaxed running style, which allows him to pull away at the end of races as fatigue builds in other athletes. Jakob also has a slight forward lean, allowing him to conserve his momentum as efficiently as possible. Jakobs hip mobility and pelvic tilt allows him to maximise his hip extension, and this in-turn improves his speed and leg recovery. Leg recovery is how Jakob is able to maintain a high cadence without losing his running form during the last 100m of races.

Everything in his stride is forward moving and efficient. I saw Jakob running in a 5 K road race last year. I stood midway in the course middle of a hill. What suprised me was that he was so silent. No sound of breathing or shoes hitting the road. It was like he was floating forward over the ground. Total efficiency.
Awesome comment - It’s incredible isn’t it!
Great video, useful information and well put together! Thanks. 😁
Thanks!
gosh darn what a great video, keep putting out the bangers as you grow. how did you get into the running analytics space? it's so funny how in 2023 we have tech for everything and machine learning but something as simple as running seems to be a dark art with so many opinions founded in very little. i'm a machine learning and simulation person-- not sure if you've ever seen those videos where you have an environment with physics and then a jointed entity with goals-- who slowly learns optimal approach but I feel like with a realistic engine much could be confirmed.
Thanks mate!
I’m a Physio so I’m always working with runners. Plus biomechanics has always been something I’ve been very interested in.
That sounds interesting, I’ve seen the machine learning stuff - it seems that it’s quite hard balancing the reward systems so that the algorithm actually finds the most optimal pathway to success.
100% it's no easy feat and incredibly hyper sensitive to the physics and reward parameters and body model --hopefully we will see some gurus taking on the challenge someday soon. Keep up the good work.
I gotta get some footage of my running. I feel like my mechanics are ok but def not on par with the elites
yes! I record myself all the time to compare and work on technique.

I just ran a 2:30 800 in my highschool 4x800 relay, definetley noticed at the last 100-130 meters i leaned more so i could try and gain more speed, worked pretty well.
2:30 in high school 🚀🚀
@@PeakStride im in my freshman year, so i could go places if i train in the summer!
the pain afterwards was also worth it.
It always is worth it
@@PeakStride peak stride has peak content
Good useful analysis. Some well known running techniques iike pose and chi running emphasise forward lean to achieve running economy. What do you think of these? Pose also recommends running using a footstrike landing on the balls of the feet. You did not cover this. Does this mean you do not consider footstrike important? How transferable is elite running form like this transferable to recreational runners when avoiding injury due to reduced limb mobility and strength is often a big consideration?
Hi! Thanks for that - I think they can be useful to develop technique!
The basic purpose of the video was to show that Jakobs economy allows him to save energy for the end of the race - so discussing foot strike and injury prevention would have made it too cluttered. But I absolutely agree, foot strike is important.
Elite running for is absolutely transferable to other people, as there is basically no reason why a recreational athlete couldn’t run at Jakobs mile race pace for at least a hundred meters other than sub-par mechanics
I think forefoot strike wasn't mentioned because literally everyone knows it's the ideal way. Look at ANY elite runner running ANY distance - 100m to marathon. They all forefoot strike. It doesn't need to be mentioned.
YESIRR!!! this is why Kipchoge is Kipchoge
He has a great running style to look at, so bouncy
BTW i would Love to see you compare Eliud form with Jacob and some top efficient athletes!
@Klian159 I’ll add it to the to do list! Thanks for the idea 🫡
Hi mate,
Physio student and runner here, loving the running content I think it's great !!
However few questions on this one...
1. Is there any reason why Jakob's 1500m final from this summer wasn't shown when actually his mechanics completely broke down and Kerr moved away from him effortlessly in the last 100m, from that race alone it was clear that actually maybe his mechanics are not that great and the same thing happened with wightman the year before. It just seemed rather odd you've missed out both races where he's actually been challenged and his form has broken down as a result.. any thoughts on those specific races anyhow?
2. Regarding staying relaxed when running, lovely advice however as a sub 15 5k runner myself staying relaxed form wise during a race when you're in a lot of pain is far easier said than done... you just don't think about it and unfortunately not a lot will change that I don't think?
3. Regarding the hip mobility tip, could you expand upon this, I found it particularly interesting and wondered if you'd be willing to share anymore specific hip mobility tips/guidance for improving hip mobility when running?
Sorry for the long comment but would love a reply, cheers anyway mate and gave the vid a like !
Hey Mate! Great to hear an enthusiastic person like yourself is getting into the profession - we need more people like yourself who are curious.
The purpose of the video was more to highlight things that Jakob does in an educational way for other runners to learn from, rather than strictly talking about how good or not good Jakob is on certain days. In the Weightman Race, I agree - he did break down in that race, yes. I could, of course, break down this race in detail, but the lessons for the viewers would be the exact same. That’s why I opted to stick with a few examples. But I will for sure cover this in future videos. The race against Josh Kerr, it was clear to me that Jakob mentally was not there for that race - it seemed like Kerr was hungry for that win and was willing to push himself to his absolute limits.
Great to hear you’re so rapid! Staying relaxed, to me, is mentally continuing to give it everything but not allowing your form to break down to the detriment of your running time. Of course, your form might drop, but as long as you aren’t tightening up really bad and not allowing yourself to breathe and run efficiently, etc., is the key.
Hip mobility is so important; look at runners like Mo Farah who have massive hip extension. It is due to their mobility through their hip flexor muscles, and that mobility and stretch pattern help with leg turnover. Particularly because leg recovery is a passive process, we want to have long but also strong hip flexors to get that elastic leg recovery. Imagine someone who sits at a desk all day and has 0-5 degrees of hip extension; it's going to be very hard for them to propel themselves and clear their leg as they stride through. In a normal population, you’d be surprised about how much of an issue this can be - and will lead to much more heel striking and bad mechanics simply due to a lack of hip mobility. I try to do split lunges off a bench every week, working on increasing that hip flexor mobility and strength. I also do a bit of ATG from the “knees over toes” guy if you're interested in looking into it further.
Goodluck with your studies! Hope to see you in the field soon.
Legend mate thanks a lot for the reply, trying to improve my MSK knowledge so find your running videos to be super informative and love the fact you reply to your comments. I'd be super down to see a video looking at how runners forms (eg jakob vs weightman race) can fall apart in the later stages of a race, weightman was just so much more elastic than jakob in that last 100m making the difference in my opinion (even if jakob was fitter), can see weightman does a lot of plyo's@@PeakStride
@@sstevogb good idea! 🫡
IMO the reason he lost to Wightman is partly due to spending too much energy being in the lead and also due to him also running the 5000m at that championship. When he lost to Kerr he was ill, he had a viral infection. He looked pale and weak. But I do agree with you in regards to how it looked. Wightman and Kerr run very upright with very elegant yet powerful stride cycles. They are also both classic middle distance athletes who are best att 800/1500 compared to Jakob who is more of an aerobic based runner and could probably have broken the 5k world record this year had he wanted to. I kind of think the different forms reflect on the different backgrounds and athlete-types quite a bit. Even when Jakob is sprinting, he leans forward a lot which kind of makes it look like he's holding back or sometimes really really blowing up when in reality he's only blowing up slightly.
@markusljungqvist9261 awesome comment and great insight! I’m keen to see what he does next year - hopefully he goes for some more records.
His hip flexors are stiff. And that gain economical running. It's not the most estetic stride but that's of course secundary
Yes absolutely. He has the mobility in his hip flexors, but also the elastic strength that helps to pull his leg back through
Sorry for being annoying here but maybe the advice could be more directed to how to develop his anterial pelvic tilt.
Thanks for all the answers though!
@@PeakStridesorry just a quick one here, what does he mean by stiff hip flexors if they are mobile still?
@@sstevogb Lets use our calves as an example, it would be advantageous for our calves to be stiffer (able to store and release energy in a shorter period of time) to be better at running, similar with hip flexors.
jakob hasn´t the best form ever he just is incredibly fit. if your lactate threshold is 2:48 ofc u look easier than the rest...
look at barega or wightman who have better form
saying that his kick is the best or the reason he wins is simply wrong he isn´t a sprint based or speed based athlete he just outlasts his opponents in races due to going out hard in the 1.500
1:46 isn´t even elite in terms of the real 800m runners and defenetly not 49 second lap pace it is 53 lap pace
Good comment!
The whole point of the video is to show that his running form is efficient - and that’s why he wins because he outlasts everyone else. I didn’t say he was a sprint based athlete, he is more efficient and yes you’re right, probably fitter. That’s why he wins most of the time.
Jakob is also 1.5 seconds from the Paris Olympic Standard for the 800m so to say it isn’t elite is probably untrue.

@@PeakStride He cas run faster than 1'46 now, he just doesn't focus on this event. I think 1'45 mid or 1'45 low maybe
This is extrem how low is lactate is if local distance runner would give everything on 400m his (Jakob) lactate wouldn't even be elevated.
He run 3*5*400 with short rest of 20 sec a 60 seconds per lap at lactate below 2.5 mmol
He is not train for 800 and you have rearly runners that do both 800m and 1500m . Considering that he runs WC 5000m too.
show the video on the full screen, we don't want to see your face. thank you
