No clue why you’re being downvoted so much right now. Guessing it’s a bunch of Jakob meat riders thinking he’s the only one able to run a 3:26.
That being said, I don’t think he’s in 3:26 shape quite yet. He has a better speed background than most others meaning he’s able to kick a lot of them down in slower races. If I had to guess, I’d say he can run a 3:27 right now, though he may be in 3:26 shape at worlds.
if he had to run the olympics trip again now, he would be with the top 3.
it's not speculation at all,
the guy ran a 345 mile with a 12x close, which translates into 344 low MINIMUM with any kind of even pace, and more like 343 high.
a perfect trip for Laros drafting most the way is 326 low.
no rocket science required here.
Yeah 3:26 is uncertain but 3:27 something yes. Remember George Mills ran 3:28-flat. It becomes a function of being in a super-fast race. It might behoove Yared/Koech to latch onto the pacer here and that might get us more maximal runs from Laros and even Reynold than we’ve seen. Smaller field so finding a place less of a problem. Especially since Essayi might run cautiously.

thanks for that.
somehow these threads get downvoted, which reflects "old" thinking and bias.
it is a new scenario out there.
when you are in new territory, the calculations just don't look right. but sober up.
we had a 16 year old run 142 low
laros ran 329 at age 19 after rounds in the olympics
he has 214 1k age 19 with 729 3k ate 19, and a euro win in 144 800m ... beating all Europe under 23 lll
so no. 326 1500 isnt a stretch what so ever.
that said, it takes the right race to do such things, and that race may not happen this year.

It is weird that even ThoughtsLeader is being downvoted for claiming Laros could run 3:27 and maybe 3:26.
I predict that if Laros does start dominating for a few years, that he will receive even more hate here than Jakob.
Looks like some are having difficulty accepting a 20 year old blonde Dutch kid has just thrashed their great new hope Pharmwell Koech.
