However, it also is equal to a 3:48 mile according to a calculator, and based on Rupp only running a 3:57 I doubt he will be able to do it next week. Not beyond his ability, but probably not happening in only a week after a 3:57.


at his peak last year, outdoors, i reckon rupp was

~ 52.3 / 1'49.7 -> 3'34.4 , 7'27.9 , 8'02.6 , 12'49.9 , 26'43.6

odd distances like 2 miles are hard to pace because of rarity of run, but 8'02+ was theoretically possible

now, i believe this race is run at fayetville which is a "wide" indoor track & i got rough estimate it'd be only ~ 3s slower than outdoors for 2 miles

in peak form, he is capable of

~ 8'06/8'07[/quote]


Any thoughts on why Geb was only good for 8:01, despite running the deuce several times and (I think) $1 million on the line for a sub-8?
