Gregson: 18 years old 3.41 1500m, 29.09 10km.... (beating olympians)
Fernandez: 7.59 3km, and waaaaaay too much hype.
Gregson is quite simply phenomenal, I think he will qualify for Berlin world champs next year as an 18-19 year old... thats is Cram/ Ovett-esque
a 4:00/8:34 double is roughly equivalent to a 3:43/8:00 1500/3000 double ... alone - which easily competes with a 3:41 in competition
Gregson ran 3.41 solo from 1km, Fernandez ran 4.00 1600 not mile... = ~3.45 1500m.
Well fernandez probly isnt running 180km weeks like ryan gregson. i hear he runs alot 4 sessions a week
the son of greg is actually running over 200km a week atm. nic bideu told me so
fernandez is racing gregson on the 8th of november at SOPAC warm up track.

Too bad you're making up facts idiot.
Gregson's PRs are 1:51.84, 3:43.84, 8:01.26 and 14:01.66. He has never run 29:09 for 10k. He is 18 years, 177 days old.
Fernandez, who doesn't turn 18 until November 2, ran 4:00.29 (worth 3:43.9), 7:59.83 (split) and 8:34.40.
According to the IAAF tables, Fernandez's 8:34.40 is equal to 3:41.9, 7:55.9, 13:38.9, and 28:40.3.
Gregson is the same league as Fernandez, but falls just short when the measuring tape comes out.
Hold a torch?? GF lit up the aussie early last year on the cross course at WXC. GF also split faster than Gregson's run for 3k enroute in his 2 mile effort. SHABAAAAAAAAAAAAM.
Fernandez's 1600/3200 double of 4:00.29/8:34.23 works out to 4:01.7/8:37.2 for mile/2 mile. That's the equivalent of a 3:43.9/7:58.5 1500/3000 double.
Their only matchup was at World Cross Country in March where Fernandez beat Gregson by 13 seconds.
Now that you've had your backwards Aussie ass handed to you, you can go now.
hahaha, you must also subscribe to tilastopaja.

Okaaaaaaaaaaay?
18 year old Briton Dave Forrester - who finished ahead of Gregson and Fernandez at the World Cross Country - ran 3:41.6 in the summer.
There are good young runners all over.
24 24:14 David Forrester GBR
25 24:15 German Fernandez USA
31 24:28 Ryan Gregson AUS
I think you will find that Gregson has run a 10km and will kick Fernandez's ass. Ran this in the weekend and bet some of Australia's top athletes in the process. What a trooper. This kid will be massive.

pwned
3:41 is not made up. Gregson ran 3:41 a few weeks ago at the Australian University Games or something like that. Closed with a 56 last lap. Next day won the 5k in 14:0x. Both guys are phenomenal talents! Personally, I don't care whether there are some hundreds of a second suggesting one is better than the other according to some IAAF tables.

Assuming the 3:41 is legit, how many Americans are out running mile/1500 races within the last few weeks?
It's a pretty stupid comparison.
They're both garbage!

too bad you don't know your facts before you start waving the idiot wand my boy.
Do you think it is peak track season for Gregson too? the 3.41 was just an early season hit out.. to grab some titles.
By running 3.41 and 29.09 within weeks, Gregson has shown he is ready run sub 13.30 and sub 7.50 on the track this summer.
Gregson has moved on from the athlete he was in March, even since world Juniors where he bagged a pair of 5th places in the 1500m and 5km... beating Forrester in the process, and where was Fernandez when the best in the world were sorting themselves out???
training...fernandez>gregson
Is Gregson running for the Bideau group, or another coach?
