Is the Mile in Arkansas the Best Indoor Mile in Terms of Sub 3:30/3:50 Guys in the US Since LRC Was Founded 2/10/2012 11:45AM Reply | Return to Index | Report Post
That sounds crazy but we just did the preview and I can't think of a time where this many sub 3:30 guys/sub 3:50 guys have been in 1 indoor race in the US.

Here is the sentence: "Correct us if we're wrong but this has to be overall the top indoor mile in the US (in terms of number of sub 3:30 and/or 3:50 guys) since LetsRun.com was founded in 2000."

There are 4 sub 3:50 guys and 3 sub 3:30 guys.

Most of the indoor miles in the US don't have a lot of international competitors. Millrose had Lagat for 9 years so you have one guy right off the bat. Kiprop was in the field one year and I'm sure a lot of other years there was another sub 3:50 guy. Sub 3:30 there aren't that many guys.

I figured someone on here could prove the statement wrong.

The preview is here:

I just realized the US Open this year had 3 guys who have run under 3:30 in their careers although I don't think Lagat is a sub 3:50 miler anymore. But that isn't 4 sub 3:50 guys.

That pretty much guarantees a slow tactical race.

I was wondering how fast it might be. Lagat and Kiplagat didn't break 4 in the Garden.

You predict an indoor sub 3:50? That would be spectacular...

Which really shouldn't matter to a track fan. A race is a race and we should be able to appreciate a a great race even if it's tactical.

I thought Jack Bolas was going to rabbit the Mile and Miller was going to rabbit the 2-Mile? Has this changed?

well lagat ran 3:33.11 for 1500 last year, according to the iaaf scoring tables a 3:33.13 for 1500 is a 3:50.02 mile, so lagat was that fast a few months ago.

Hilali and Btissam Lakhouad closed well. Hilali passed Martinex with about 60 to go to win in 4:09. First 3 all 4:09.

No, no . . . I think you have him confused with Craig's twin who runs the 800. Maybe there is a cousin that runs the steeple?
