It's not a world lead as Manangoi ran 1:44.1 h last week in Kenya. That result just isn't in many databases but Andy arnold talked about it here:

http://www.letsrun.com/news/2016/04/asbel-kiprop-elijah-manangoi-vincent-yator-put-show-2016-kenyan-police-championships/

Must be the official world lead though surely?

Chris Kensall interview:

"BM: That’s where I’m really weird, I love both of them. My weakness is the fast paced longer intervals. My long runs are 15 to 16 kilometre runs. I just love running in general, I love lacing up my shoes and going for a 10 kilometre run."

Fastest in-season collegiate time since 1996 and #3 all-time in-season collegiate, according to this list:

http://www.ustfccca.org/assets/record-book/collegiate-outdoor-all-time-top-ten-with-AC.pdf

Jim Ryun ran 1:44.3 and Julius Achon ran 1:44.55.

Out of season (summer), there have been 16 collegiate performances from 1:41.77 (Cruz) down to 1:44.03 (Billy Konchellah).

Pacer?

Danielle also likely a world lead!

i think this is more impressive than the 1:44 in kenya even if it is 8,000ft...this was more like a time trial run with how far back 2nd place was, and 2:05? haha bet that guy felt embarrassed

Track and field news actually gives Achon the CR

They don't even give Ryun the American CR.

McBride was thus 0.08 seconds away from the CR, winning by 8 seconds. Did he have a rabbit?

The 800 at altitude helps the Kenyans. It helps sea level runners by a few tenths. Brandon's run is much more impressive than a 1:43 at 8000 feet.

McBride was a sprint type (very fast, capable of a 45.x 400m). I know he has works a lot on his endurance (and indeed he ran also many miles/1500s... I'd say it paid!). Great race.

McBride has run something like 45.7-45.9 for 400m open in an FAT that I forget. That he likes the longer runs should be a lesson to many other 800m runners from the speed side that get down to 1:45-46 fairly early in college but have difficulty in making progress from that stage.

one day it will be gone wrote:

Please explain how running an 800M at 8000 feet elevation helps a Kenyan, or anyone else, as opposed to running the same at sea level.

I'm nout sure I agree with the poster, but the theory would be that it assists a Kenyan who is adapted to the altitude over 800m in the way that altitude assists all runners in sprint times. Thinner air, less drag.

If I remember correctly from Jack Daniel's Running Formula 800 is the race where times are comparable at sea-level and altitude. 100, 200, 400 are faster at altitude and 1500, 3000, 5000, 10000 slower at altitude.
