With proper sprint training and technique, I could cut that time down to 10.3-10.5.
Which would be a stupid thing to do.

I've never heard of them.
What were their times for the 10k.

what would Rexing do a flying 100 in?
For a flying 100 . . . Rexing would literally fly.
I think milk just came out my nose.

The correct answer is: TRAINERS!

With a flying start.
Truth?

A flying start makes such a big difference in the 100m, that I would add a full second to their times.

I wouldn't call a 23 flat 200m slow, especially for someone who doesn't train for it and doesn't know how to sprint.
Thats actually pretty quick.
That is not necesseceraly true. Being taller than someone else doesn't mean you have to be faster at 100 meters.
Very well written article. Great look and overview of two exceptional athletes.
I would think most SI readers would like it.
Dont over think Rupps on the fly 100 speed. Bottom line is getting to and having it available for use in a home stretch kick to the finish. You have to be with whoever racing to the tape , otherwise its just bragging rights.
you are an idiot of the highest degree. What's that put Farah at? 13 flat? You've got to be joking. It doesn't matter if you are Bekele, you will never run the last lap of a 10k at the same pace as your 100 PR. If that were true I should have gone pro so I could run a 45 second last 400 in a 10k.
very believeable
i'm curious how that compares to an elite sprinter, how fast those sprinters could do a 10k, and then comparing the proportional differences
I'm talking from a block start.
It would put both of them between about 12.5 and 13.0 from the blocks, yes...maybe closer to 12.5 than 13.0
Rupp MIGHT have slightly more top speed than Farah, but I would be willing to bet that Farah has better acceleration than Rupp.
Why don't some of you distance guys try a 100m FAT from blocks, while seriously training distance, and tell me what you run.
And then remember that Rupp and Farah are truly elite distance runners, highly optimized to run distance, and therefore highly NOT optimized to sprint from the blocks.
The times are probabaly correct. It is irrelevant at the end of a 10K. Farah has better aerobic conditioning so Rupp cannot close as quickly even though he is faster in a sprint. If you are not as aerobically fit, you cannot use your speed at the end of a race.
I think they meant in terms of workouts, not just mileage

HAHAHA, you distance folk are so ignorant in the ways of the sprints.
10.9 on the fly is not fast. That is an 11.5 at BEST. especially if this is hand timed. Make that more like an 11.7-8 . So dumb.
I have seen guys I train with that are 10.8 runners run 10.2's on the fly or with a run in.
Usain bolt recorded 8.7 in a relay split.
hehehe silly distance runners.
Silly spinter, what the article forgot to mention was that those flying 100 times...came at the end of a 20x200 meters at 24. point with 100ms rest.
I can run 12.5 out of the blocks, there is no way Rupp and Farah can't run faster than that...didn't rupp do standing start 75 meter sprints in 8.4 seconds (11.2 100m pace)?
Wow, I'm seeing some classic LRC stupidity on here. Who gives a $hit how fast they can do a 100 from a standing start or from the blocks? Their sprints are only useful coming at the end of a run, so obviously a "flying start" 100 is a better indicator of their kicking potential than a 100 with a standing start or a start from the blocks. Everyone who disagrees needs to get a clue.

This is so ridiculous. I could run sub 12 (hand timed) from standing start when I was in 2:00 800 shape. Even thought they're 10K specialists, I'm assuming Galen and Mo could run 1:50 in their sleep and probably a hell of a lot faster than 12.0 for 100 meters. I don't care if they're doing distance training, they're top tier elite runners for christssake!
Allyson Felix is an 11.0 100m sprinter on a good day, but on relays, she eats sub-11 sprinters alive. - A running start makes a big difference.
A separate discussion:
Allyson is an excellent relay runner; to the best of my knowledge, she has never failed to deliver or receive the baton. Allyson won't run the 100m at the USOTs, she probably will only run 1 open 100s in 2012, she won't run he 4x1 rounds in the Olympics, but they will put her on the 4x1 for the Olympics finals and none of her relay teammates will have a problem with that. Respect!
This thread is ridiculous, they never ran those times even for a flying 100. They just aren't that fast.
