no
he was that good last year
7'25 wouda been a jog
you don't think a guy who virtually soloed 3'28.9 woud be hurt by 4'51/4'52 at 2k ?
don't use calculators to look for 400 speed
base that on such that mo finished a slow 5k in 50.8 or canova's belief that 50/51/52 is about fastest for african 5k guys
http://timescalculator.appspot.com/see what that admittedly sub-par calculator makes for komen in '96 for 3k when he surely had 3'30 & 12'40 in him in perfect races ???
then try what that calculator gives for mo with 3'27 or 3'28 with 26'25 - 26'35 for 3k/5k as he was definitely in 1st parameter & almost certainly in 2nd & probably quick end
what are the ranges ???
post them, starting with komen-'96
not guaranteed at his advanced age
cardiff maya killed his speed, permanently
you can't assume he gets that speed back every time especially now when ancient & with cardiff in his legs - a career finishing race
