That's a 8:03 two mile.
On any given day he could the best distance runner on the planet.
If so, then a 3:45 1500 would be a 4:01.5 miles, not a4:03 mile; the 1.08 rule yields a still-impressive 8:06 and the more aggressive 1.079 gives about 8:05.7.

well 8:03 suggests he could do another 200 meters at the same pace. maybe that is a bit optimistic - but certainly 8:03/4 for two miles. Esp for a strength type 10k runner like rupp.

Take the logical extension of that assumption; a 4-minute miler could run an 8:00 two-mile. Duh, what is wrong here ... people slow down when they go longer. When they go a fair bit longer they slow up by more, but even going 7.29% longer they slow up a little bit (to 1.08/1.729 = 1.0066, or two-thirds of percent. 3:40 is 1107 IAAF points, as is 7:51.6 3000, the ratio is 2.1436, not 2.0, so the slowdown is 7.15%

Video of 1000m is on Marcin Lewandowski profile on facebook.
Galen followed Ndiku very easily when the pacers stepped off. It looked almost as he was slowed down by Ndiku. Rupp finsihed very relaxed and I think he had 2:28 on the last k - I'll get it checked.
I'm quite sure he could have run 2-3 seconds faster with more pressure, but who's gonna put that on him at the moment?
Even more impressive was G Dibaba's 8:26 that came out of 2.48-5:37 and half of the race by herself. If the speakers would have realised that it was a WR pace, the audience would have pushed her to even faster times.
Both Aman & Souleiman went really quick with their resp pacers, but tighted up a bit, particularly Souleiman who was almost caught by Lewandowski. I think Souleiman had 1:21.X on 600m, equal to WR-pace (27x5 = 2:15). The margin Aman had to his chasers after 500-600m was "Rudishian"!
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
