They're calling for 71 degrees for May 6 in Prague. That's hotter than London. If Rupp runs faster than 2:08.53 then he is god.
71 is the high for the day. The race will likely be run in the mid-50s rising to the mid-60s.
I am guessing that they will have pacers on course record pace (2:05:39), since that is a pace that Rupp and Sisay Lemma can handle.
no, no, no. You got it all wrong. Just like the Farah lovers are saying, even though most of London was run during the mid to high 60s, it was actually 70-80 according to them because you need to take the high temperature of the day and use that to make their heroes run look even more impressive.
