idiot
that calculator only backs up what is already known
majority of 1'42 - 1'43 guys are 46 - 47 guys ( most have pbs in this region - NOT speculation )
cram is likely to be in that majority
so have i
clearly you learnt nothing
a tt he ran sometime in '85 but no indication if it was before oslo or zurich or in training early in year whilst still in heavy training
all that tt is place an upper limit on his 400
moron
he had a 1'44.45 that year
in '85 he ran 1'42.88
there is no comparison
fool
one of those was totally dictated by cruz & another was a championship where win was only consideration
the rieti run i haven't seen since the day - all depends on how quick the pacer took him thru - if it was 51+, that was poor & cram had to go with that
confirms my belief
he was thinking of cruz as primary goal
it was his bad luck cruz coudn't go thru in 49.5/50.0 as above tells you cram wouda followed
idiot
he was expecting cruz to go thru in 49.5/50.0 as everyone else did, NOT 51
in the context of a season where his best was 3'33.1 & no 800 of any note
in that context, 47.6 relay is excellent
& these sound like reps not a one-off
so use your brain & think what that might be if a 1-off 200
something in region of 22+, which is more than enough for 46+ off 22+/24+, with usual 2s differential for 400 guys & cram's mighta been tighter due to better endurance
he gives no indication of when this was
if it was before zurich/oslo that's a authoritative number
if it was in february/march during heavy training, it tells us nothing
see above
nonsense
idiot
majority of 1'42 - 1'42.5 guys go 46+ & that's what you go to as starting figure
as for zurich - idiot, anyone with a clue about the sport wouda expected cruz to go 49.5/50.0 & that means cram wouda expected to go thru in the same as his stated tactic was to stick to cruz
it was his bad luck that in his 1 major 800 of the year cruz coudn't manage more than a pedestrian 51
i have no doubt cram wouda gone at least 1'42.5 if cruz had managed 49.5/50.0 opener
