from another thread, i thought i'd post an opinion, for which i'll get pilloried, but i'm starting to turn towards it
seeing as it's a quiet few days, worth posting something to get the masses chattering... |

I don't think Rupp and Salazar follow the sort of training protocol that calls for sharpening up 1500m speed significantly as they approach race time. They have, for years, been working on speed work at shorter distances in indoor and early in the outdoot year, then moving towards the specific endurance for 10000m as they get closer to goal race. I think it is more likely, based on history and training paradigm that Rupp loses a little off of his short speed as he gains 10000m fitness. |

run the numbers for 3:33 and 26:40 and that's your answer. |
| ggg |
| ||
|
maybe even sub-12:40!!! |
| Well I believe that the Iraq |
| ||
My calculations say sub 12:35. But just barely. He'd need a perfect race to hit 12:34.4 - 12:34.8. |

I never understood where people get these from, do you just make it up or is there a website where you get it from? |
| Well actually |
| ||
V3 just makes this sh!t up and then expects people to take it seriously because (oooh) it comes from a formula. Oh yeah, and then when folks laugh at him he goes into "Idiot" mode. |

i've been saying all along he's knocking on 12:50's door. I predict he's capable of 12:49. 8:20 at 3200 10:24 at 4k 11:24 at 4400 12:23 at 4800 :27 12:50 it'd be the race of his life. |

He lowers his pants,then underwear, squats down, reaches behind him, and pulls them straight out of his rectum. |
| formula |
| ||
Yes, Rupp would have to take a special formula run 12'45 |

He wrote this calculator then puts it up here as if it is a definitive source. |

QTF? Great so this magic calculator also works for horses?Ohboy. |
| pound per year |

|
Okay, pay one pound per year for access to a do it all calculator. If can predicate stock prices accurately, I'm in. |

3'33/26'40 -> 4'49.5 7'25.8 12'47.2 that's not bad ! i certainly think he'' be 3'33/26'40 at bare worst later this year |
| 52.43 |

|
Jeez, Vent, let him run 12:52 that would be superb... You expect 12:45? 7:23??? Come on, you gotta be kidding. |
| ventolin^3 |

you over-estimate 7'23 & 12'45 yes, great times, but not unapproachable 7'23 : hicham ran that with a suicidal 2'26 or 2'27 2nd k which killed him in the end - even pace & he wouda gone 7'20/7'21 morceli/saidi-thief both ran 7'25 after jogging 2k in 5'00+ with 2'24/2'25 finish !!! tell me what those wouda been at even pace like komen ?? 12'45 : cherono is best example he ran 12'48 in big race v hicham they were on for 12'45 at 3k but hicham got damn scared with cherono breathing down his neck & slowed it to a crawl from then until the last lap it didn't work as cherono blasted him off the last bend ! cherono was worth well below 12'45 that day, maybe 12'42/12'43 go ask canova who was his actual coach i'm just calling the race as i saw it just don't put clockings like 7'23/12'45 on pedestals to be worshipped... |
| Well actually |
| ||
Me, I'd be happy if it could just predict them. To predicate them seems just a bit too much to be asking for. |

maybe even sub-12:40!!! ____________________________________________________________ No. Even a time under 12:50 would be pushing it, and I am a Rupp fan. I mean 12:40 and you are knocking out 60.8 laps. That is freakish. Rupp is very good, but he is not 12:45 calibre....yet. |
| might be wejo |

Am I missing something? If you run perfectly even 2:27.00 kilometer splits you will run a 7:21.00 3k. |
