Well, Yared Nuguse's world record did not last long. 

Just days after Nuguse ran a 3:46.63 men's indoor mile world record at the 2025 Millrose Games, mutil-time Olympic medalist and world champion Jakob Ingebrigtsen took the record to a new level. At the 2025 Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais Trophee EDF, part of the World Indoor Tour in Liévin, Ingebrigtsen took over a second off Nuguse's mark, running 3:45.14 for a new world record.

From the get go, the mile in Liévin was publicized as a world record attempt at the hands of Ingebrigtsen. The 24-year-old Norwegian talent already owns the 1,500m indoor world record, which he set back in 2022. 

Two pacers and wavelengths helped Ingebrigtsen throughout much of the race as Ingebrigtsen split 56.39 through the opening 400m and 1:52.55 at 800m. A 26-second final lap helped seal the deal as he surged to the 3:45.14 world record.

In fact, the record-breaking race on Thursday served as Ingebrigtsen's first-ever run at the distance indoors. Previously, he had contested the 1,500m indoors, but not the mile.

Ingebrigtsen now owns both the indoor and outdoor (3:43.73) men's mile world all-time marks. Before this week, Yomif Kejelcha held the indoor record behind his 3:47.01 mark from 2019.

Looking at Ingebrigtsen's splits, he also broke his own 3:30.60 1,500m world record en route to his mile mark. At 1,500m in Liévin, he clocked 3:29.63.
