Jakob 3:27.14 #3 All Time AND Cam Myers 3:33.26

yes, it is my mistake to think en-route.

since everyone says 3:26.85 converted is invalid, doesn't that mean the website has invalid claims? hence stupid website.

it can make a prediction but if everyone discredits it, then there's no point to it.

Now I he’s only the second person to run 3:27 or better twice in a season.

For 25 years and 2 days; 3:26.0 has not been approached. Long live the king. 7/14/98 ElG 3:26.0

No. The site appropriately estimates what an equivalent time would be at another distance. That is not an en-route split. It is doing what it states (and doing it well) while you are conflating conversions to en-route times which is stupid.

Don't comment then. These boards would be better off without your input.

3rd. Morceli ran 3:27.37 and 3:27.52 in back to back races in '95.

To be fair, I am assuming the OP trusted the "expertise" of the CNBC announcer that stated Jakob was now the #3 metric miler of all time.

No sht. You don't end up at a top 5 all time list from a conversion. The webside can claim whatever it want, is is only dumbasses that thinks the conversion means anything.

ok fair.

does anyone believe that Noah Ngeny's true potential (3:26.85 converted) is valid?

seems like everyone says it is a bogus conversion.

thought the website does conversions well though?

Start your own thread about that conversion and I am sure thousands will flock to it. What is bogus is saying Jakob Would be top 5 not top 4 because of it.

Cam Myers born June 9, 2006 (17 years old) ---> 3:33.26 PB today
Jakob Ingebrigtsen born September 19, 2000 (22 years old) ---> 3:27.14 PB today

Cam Myers is 5 years, 8 months, 21 days younger than Jakob

Do you think Cam Myers will improve 6.13 seconds (3:27.13)
in the next 5 years, 8 months, 21 days?

We all know how exponentially difficult each 1/10 second PB is once you get under 3:30...

Yes / No ?

Its not a bogus conversion, that seems perfectly valid. What people are saying is that you can't take a converted time and just drop it on an all-time list for a different event. I don't think anyone doubts that Ngeny could have run 3:26.8 had that Rome Mile race been a 1,500m.

need to get me some of that juice they are all on this year, might break 15.00

Ngeny has a 24years WR in the 1000, beat once ElG in Olympics and less than 0.5 sec from WR in the mile, being faster that anybody else ever, including, Morceli (3.27 guy), Cram, Komen, Jakob etc. Why would you think 3.26 high is not legit?

Ngeny was a freak also

I doubt it. Sub 330 for sure, but sub 328 takes one in a billion talent. It would absolutely be cool if I'm wrong. I'd love to see it.

Not sure if the race has been posted yet, but here is the race ...

makes sense. thanks for clarifying

- so basically Jakob is #4 all-time (#3 if you remove the doper Asbel Kiprop)

- there is a possibility (BIG IF) that had Noah Ngeny ran the 1500m instead of the mile,

he MAYBE could have ran 3:26.85. according to a reasonable conversion

- but Noah did NOT run that time. even though he had the potential. which is ultimate what matters: actual results vs. "could have, should have"

They sell super spikes and shoes at a lot of places. You should pick some up.
