What is the 200m speed required to compete at the international level in each event. Just curious as to what everyone thinks.

re: Zaz

800 definitely 22 seconds

1500 low 23's should be good enough

5k -10k < 24

the person with the fastest kick is usually the person with the best overall fitness level. thats why kenny b continues to win races that go out ridiculously slow. he won a 3k over lagat with a sub 4 close.

-22s for an 800 runner (1:44 best potential)

-23s for a mile runner

-24s for a 5k/10k runner

Sub-1:40 will require <21.0 200m speed. No one that fast can buffer that well...yet.
