Subject: RE: An Incredible Amby Burfoot Interview With Alberto Salazar
Body:

26'20+ may be a way off, but i reckon that 12'45 is more realistic

last year, i reckon he already was in 12'50 shape ( with 26'40 - 26'45 ), so the drop to 12'45 may not be the insurmountable propostion it first seems

to be honest, if he does get into 26'20s, he probably will go faster than 12'45 - something like 12'43 is possible with him

as someone mentioned, the career aim is similar to tergat times, but rupp has better speed than tergat, so likely better 5k potential

if i had to project an ultimate career peak for rupp, i'd start with :

52.9 / 1'50.3 -> 3'34.5 , 7'25.8 , 12'43.8 , 26'23.8

last year he was maybe :

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

a lot of endurance work will just subtley change his 400/800 ability & the extrapolation to 5k/10k is huge...
