Two-time Olympic gold medalist and five-time world record holder Jakob Ingebrigtsen joins Jessy Carveth for a wide-ranging conversation about his comeback from February's Achilles surgery, his real thoughts on the so-called "Norwegian Method," and his long-rumoured marathon debut.

Fresh off cheering at the Copenhagen Marathon — where his older brother ran 2:29 on debut — Jakob reveals how he's rebuilt his training week by week, why he tests lactate during nearly every interval session, and how he used elliptical 14x3 minute sessions to hold VO2 fitness while he couldn't run. He also walks us through one of the biggest shoe rotations in the sport (Pegasus, Vomero, Structure, Alphafly, Streakfly, and the Victory spike he helped develop), his hands-on role with Nike R&D, and the new Coros watch he co-designed as part of the Fearless campaign.

We also get into the question every track fan wants answered: how real is the Josh Kerr rivalry and would Jakob ever line up against him in a marathon? Plus: his target for racing the rest of the 2026 season, why he wants to debut at the marathon in his late 30s, and what "fearless" actually means to him.
