    I have done it twice. I followed a pacer in 56 and eventually got passed by the most of the field and ran 3:45. 56/156/2:58/3:45. I had run 1;49 earlier that week.

    Another received the baton in an indoor DMR with a big lead...did the stupidest thing I could do....and blew up big time. 56/2:00/3:04/4:10. Had raced hard the night before and had tired legs

    It's tough to hold on when you go out over your head.

    We all remember this. Right?

    Yes, of course. Your PB was probably 3:40 to 3:42 at the time, so going out in 42.x and 56.x was suicidal pace for you

    Are you also 5feet3, bow legged with poor hip mobility like the Chinese women who apparently have the power to run 42.x in the first 300m of a 1500?

    re: wejo

    Plenty of discussion about the 1993 WR going out in 57. No rabbit. The actual winner went out that fast.

    One of the sketchy things about that race.

    How can a 3:50 WR go out in 3:36 pace?

    My guess was they started ahead of the normal start line or something.

    Going out in 60.7 and finishing in 3:57 is not ideal but realistic.

    By show of hands, how many people on this board ran the first lap of a 1500m at sub 57.5 pace (...and first 300m in 42.6)?

    Jakob has not achieved that yet. Look at his Oslo race. Single file at 300m with guys such as Andrews, O'Hare in the field... and Jakob was not at 42.6 pace. In the Chinese race, the girls were still running in a pack at that pace.

    Not enough turtle juice in China for 5 foot 3 women to achieve that.

    Any ret@rd can see that these women are not running at the same pace as Jakob in Oslo

    They simply started on the wrong line.

    Didn't have any real coaching in high school, but I would pretty much go out in 57-58 in every 1600 I ever did in high school ... and finish in like 5:30

    :53-4 for an 800 that ended in 2:15 was pretty common too

    No one could run a first lap like me
