Letsrun : Kindly Ask Benie for Interview on his 40th Birthday On These...

Can't your HAL9000 spit out these answers?

just sayin wrote:How did you do that trick with the B sample?

idiot / yo-yo

what part of your peabrain can't comprehend 1st sample which tested +ve was neglected & transported in 100++ temperatures for few days in boot of car & probably resembled a hydrogen sulphide stink-bomb upon opening ???

that's why regulations require the same p!ss sample, be always split in 2 different bottles by tester, & then each have to be transported by different routes to lab

the 2nd, at least transported properly, with -ve result for bernie

I was a roomie with lagat in jkaut in kenya. We trained together in the same field. I was a sprinter who got a scholarship in the usa. My life time best in 400 was 49.40.my training in kenya was 800m based so was in college here in the usa. We did a 600m trail when he was 3.37. Guy and he kicked my ass. I would have thought I was a mid 47 400m runner. At best I would say lagat at his best was a 46.80 runner.

49.40 over 400 ih.

none of this makes logic

you talk about him at 3'37 /47-mid, when he, 1 day ran 3'26.3 with 53+ finish when hicham caught his foot on last bend killing bernie's push

that is 3'26-flat at worst at even-pace, no

"caughting"

bernie was likely in paced to bell smoothly shape

3'25.5 - 3'25.75

i can help

3'25.5 - 3'25.75

with

47.5 ->

1'42.66 - 1'42.73

2'11.40 - 2'11.52

47.0 ->

1'42.18 - 1'42.25

2'11.02 - 2'11.33

46.0 ->

1'41.71 - 1'41.78

2'10.63 - 2'10.75

problem is, bernie had

"whiplash"

speed

& running wrong event in 1500

silas started off as 10k guy & run 3'27.6 with incredible

53.9

bernie couda well-below 1'42, perhaps close to

1'41-flat

as i never believed he was built for longer races & even 1500 was far too long

You are so far from enlightened. You want to know what times he ran in practice? You want to know what he thinks he could've run in a 400m sprint which has never contested? Just so you can plug it in to your sad little fantasy calculator?

It's pure preposterousness!

I'd luv to know answers from the Great Man on lotta questions :

1) '01 or '04 as peak for 1500 ability ?

2) Did he think Hicham inadvertently kicked him back in '01 when Bernie was making his move to pass him on last bend in Brussels ?

3) What did he think his fully rested 400 ability was at his peak in either '01 or '04 ?

4) Did he ever attempt 3 ?

5) What does he think his fully rested 800 ability was in '01 or '04 in a perfect race to bell in 49-mid/high / 50-flat & solo last 400 in a 800TT as in 6)

6) Was he aware Hicham is alleged to have run 1'42.7 in early-'02 with a < 50 opener & 53 for 2nd lap ?

Many Thanks to Letsrun

Kindly delete any yo-yos who reply

I agree that they should do an interview with him, but not for the silly reasons that you propose. Instead of asking about the past, maybe a few questions about relevant topics. You know, his future?

He is implying this happened in 1996-97 when his PB was 3:37

Would you like to ask Cram what he could have done 400m in as well, like you would listen!

If Lagat had gone through the bell in 50 or faster he would have blown up

Different routes?

Bernard Lagat was NEVER capable of faster than 1:44 for 800m. He had exceptional speed endurance and could have run 7:22 at his peak. I will not fully elucidate why I know this, but trust me. Mo Farah ran his 3:28 with 1:46 speed. These are the facts Ventolin.

nonsense

when mo ran 3'28, his 800 speed had to be

~ 1'45-mid/high

Apologies

I assumed it was early on in career

It makes little sense looking for potential 400 times when guy was then a 3'37'er, but every little info can help !

ukathleticscoach wrote:Would you like to ask Cram what he could have done 400m in as well

yes

but not on this topic

if, however he wants to chime in with his best, possible fully rested 400 in '85 or before edinburgh-'86, i'd listen

like you would listen!

of course you fool

the knowledge of this possible time in '85/'86 woud hugely change assessment of 800 history, albeit it's pretty damn certain he was capable of

1'41-low

in '86 edinburgh & maybe zurich '85

If Lagat had gone through the bell in 50 or faster he would have blown up

utter drivel

baala went thru bell in close to 50-flat & held on for 1'43.1

baala is no bernie

hear you go wrote:You are so far from enlightened

thank you from who obviously claims to be knowledgeable of such a state as to judge

You want to know what times he ran in practice?

if you say no, then obviously i don't want to know

You want to know what he thinks he could've run in a 400m sprint which has never contested?

just like i never wanted to know about mo's 1500 potential which he only contested once in his prime in a proper euro race ?!

Just so you can plug it in to your sad little fantasy calculator?

fool

that calculator called mo 3'28

It's pure preposterousness!

pure preposterousness is not wanting to have further knowledge, in this case a potential fully-rested 400 for bernie

When someone says best they mean best ever. He says 48 and you say 46. If you had any sense you might say 47xx but you don't.

You have Lagat down as running 4 seconds faster than his best off a jog and fast 800m which as I pointed out Rui Silva actually managed faster in the same race. Silva had a pb of 1:44 high and was an 800m/1500m but you have Bernie a 1500m/5,000m down as 2 seconds quicker.

So in your head Lagat a 1:42 guy got beaten down the home straight by Bekele in a slow 5,000m!

'bernie couda well-below 1'42, perhaps close to

1'41-flat

as i never believed he was built for longer races & even 1500 was far too long'

So you are asking him what he can run for 400m but think he does not know what his best event was! Like I said, whatever he said he could do for 400m you would ignore.

You know nothing about running. Every college kid on here knows more about running than you do and my cat is more capable of logical thought than you.

Someone must have given you whiplash back when you were in a stroller

Your stupidity is amazing sometimes.

Classic ventolin asks for answers just to refute them.
