Thoughts anyone? |

5000 WR because it is run more often creating more a chance for the record to be broken |

The answer is: C. Daniel Komen's 3000 record |
| bekele |
| ||
|
7:58.61 "only" translates to 7:23.2 so komen underperformed there. My vote goes to bekele. |

I think the 5k is slightly better. But it is a lot closer than the 2mile record.

1500 WR - 54.93 pace 3000 WR - 58.76 pace 5000 WR - 60.59 pace 10,000 WR - 63.10 pace Half Marathon WR - 66.42 pace Marathon WR - 70.52 pace How about the 10,000 record? Only 2.51 seconds slower per 400 than the 5k. |

I think the order goes: Bekele's 10k > Komen's 3k > Bekele's 5k > Komen's 2 mile |

The 5k record is better than the 10k. And Bekele has failed to beat the 3k record so I would say that is better than both. |

This is an interesting way to break down the records. It's amazing how much of a difference 3 seconds/lap makes. |

He hasn't broken the 1500m or marathon so those are also better?

Super argumentation! Bekele doesn't have broken any records (not counting indoors) apart from 5k and 10k - with your argumentation, these two records are the weakest. My ranking is: 5k > 10k > 3k > 2 miles |

Actually, I'll take Komen's INDOOR 3000m record. |

I vote for the 2000m record as the best distance record. Unless the 800 is considered. As for the op's question, it's the 5000. Not even close. |

They are all impressive. It's hard to see any of them going down. Also, Saif Saaeed Shaheen's 7:53.63 steeple deserves to be in the conversation. |

Is the half more impressive than we thought, or is the full not as impressive? |
