Think we might be jumping the gun a bit on that. 1:46.8 is a nice time, but most guys who can run 3:31-32 run 1:44 or 1:45 if they get into a fast one. Running a PB would be awesome and even just sub-3:36 and competitive (if it's a slower race) would be a nice result.
I agree with you for once
i do not think this translates to 3:32.x
certainly not 3:31.x
2-3 second PR? From 3:34.x
not sure how this indicates that
Dude, Hobbs just bested his mile PB (per IAAF) by over 16seconds!
I would say this combined with his 2:16 1k and the fact he has historically been a better miler than 800m runner (in high school, at least) indicates he is due for a PR at 1500m.
I do think he CAN PR, he is pretty sharp, but his PR is pretty fast . And it has been a long year
Although he missed a month, so he may be just getting to peak level. He is 3 months older than Flatt and has run .4-.5 slower in his “off event” this is not an event he has run that often in good comp.
I would say he is moving along fine
Ron knows what he’s doing lol.And Kessler is really really talented.

Yes, correct. People really think every time a 1500/miler runs 1:46.8 they’re in line for 3:31-3:32? Jakob runs the 1:46 type times off 100mpw with 90%+ of that uptempo work at threshold and not intense. Nothing like what many 1500m guys do including the Warhurst system.
i really hope that he still has a fast 1500m opportunity
1) Just because runner A has a similar PR in one event, doesn’t mean runner B has the same profile and will have a similar PR in another event.
2) Even examining one runner’s PRs in multiple events does not mean they will PR in the 800 when they have just run their best 1500. It rarely works that way.
