OK???

not relevant here unless Ronnie does blast thru 3'26

the "correct" figures then relevant for him to dream about woud be a '60s runner's shape on a '70s track of

~ 1'38-high

3'24-low

Calculo

Kwemoi ran 3:28.81 at MONACO.

Kwemoi will NEVER run faster than that unless, and it is unlikely, he does it at MONACO.

wow !

working that neurone over-time i see...

I see you have taken that Dale Carnegie course. You are downright charming mate...

This may be your most ridiculous claim yet, that Kwemoi is in shape to break the 1k/1500m/mile/3k records based on one very good 100m in a 7:28.73 race that was 8 seconds off the world record.

There are no limits to Ventolins idiocy

If all the WRs were equal that would hint, ceteris paribus, that he is in 3:30.36 1500m shape. Which is probably 3:28/29 shape in Monaco.

why is everyone running faster in Monaco, Rieti, and Hechtel?

People run times they never hit again. I don't think the tracks in Monaco or

Hechtel are short, so what it is?

Everybody with anything interesting to say gets banned here...fact of life, keep watching you know who...too bad the censors don't realize they destroy the value of their own board when they ban calculo/vento etc.

My favorite is when he said Jonathan Kitilit's 1:47 in the first round of the Kenyan Champs was worth like 1:43, then Kitilit ran 1:43 or something the next day which would translate to 1:39 or so by Vent's calculations. That thread was promptly deleted and Jonathan Kitilit still hasn't run 1:39.

but he shouldn't be banned from LRC. He is quite entertaining.

I would miss his "analyses"

What I don't get is why LetsRun deletes posts at Ventolin's every whim.

Is he a moderator?

I am more of a fan of calculo then someone who is fantastically obsessed with Seb Coe.

Ventolin, why are you so proud, that in your late 60s you - from what ever source - grasped the word "neurone"?

Ryun has got even faster. Have you done also some scientific research, when YOU have him at 1:38 low 1:37 high...? Sub 3:20?

it is called "open mind" & willing to research & then think hard

i had Ryun at 1'41+ based on a relay leg of 46.9 which i assumed was at 20 yards on dry dirt with lotta rest on a 400 track not 440y

i didn't realise it was on total sludge with a 3'55+ in his legs in cold weather making up 20y on anchor with lotta wide running !!!

brief clip :

https://video.lib.ku.edu/items/show/1526

fully rested on a '70s track that is ~ 44-low speed at 18y !!!

that speed is quite likely now Korir has run 44.5 off jog to 200 & 43.34 relay

Ryun likely 44-flat at peak of 20y

then we have brief clip of 1'44.9y on terrible windy day as can be seen from flags blowing in infield, off jog to bell with huge extra run on bends & ill with 880y prelim coupla hours before !!!

https://video.lib.ku.edu/items/show/1525

that was at worst a 1'40-flat if fully healthy, no prelim, 0 wind & fast pace to bell on '70s track

& that was in '66 when his peak was '67

i get his '67 shape at

1'38.9

assuming terre haute was run in "ideal" 880 weather of ~ 75F

kindly look up the temperature that day in '66 for me/board...
