Currently Playing: Episode 5: I Copied Jakob's Hill Workout… On a 10% Hill

I tried copying Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s hill workout this week: 20×200m uphill. The only problem… the hill I chose was 10% grade. Jakob is known for his brutal training structure - double threshold days, controlled volume, and very specific workouts. So for this week of the Copycat Runner series, I wanted to see what would happen if I copied one of his classic hill sessions. But there’s a catch: I’m also racing a 5K this weekend, and the goal is to PR. So the big question is: Will copying Jakob’s training actually help me run a PR… or just wreck my legs before race day? In this episode: • Copying Jakob’s 20×200m hill workout • Running it on a 10% grade hill (probably a mistake) • How the workout compares to Jakob’s real training • My race week plan and goal for the upcoming 5K • Whether copying pros like Jakob actually works for amateur runners This is part of my Copycat Runner series, where I try training like the best runners in the world and see what actually translates to normal runners.
