Ingebrigtsen first broke the 3:40 barrier in the 1500 meters at the age of 19.[2] He won the gold medal at the 2012 European Athletics Championships in Helsinki at the 1500 metres event. He followed it by finishing 5th at the Olympic Games in London with a new national record of 3:35.43. Ingebrigtsen further improved the national record to 3:33.95 at the Diamond League meet held in Zürich on 29 August 2013.
In May 2018, he won the men's 5000 metres at the Payton Jordan Invitational with a PB 13:16.97, winning by only 0.005 seconds.[3] He had run the last 400 metres of the race in 56.27 seconds.[3]
On 13 June 2019, he set a new Norwegian record for 3000 metres, running 7:36.85 at the Bislett Games in Oslo, Norway.
In October 2023, Jakob, Filip, and Henrik Ingebrigtsen released a statement accusing their father and former coach Gjert of "aggression, control, and physical violence", also saying that he "took the joy out of the sport they once loved". Gjert stopped coaching his sons in 2022, and was not accredited as their coach at the 2023 World Athletics Championships in Budapest.[4] Gjert would later be charged with seven counts of domestic abuse under Norwegian law in 2024, with a trial set for 2025.[5]
