All this speculation about how Lukas will likely do this or likely do that, 3:56 is not that far under 4:00, and more useless drivel.
I'm all for speculation, but it should be a given that we know next to nothing about Lukas' training, or Willis' training, for that matter. Therefore, we really have no idea what to expect from either athlete.
Calculating how much of a straightaway 4 seconds corresponds to is a lot of nonsense.
Speculation about how fast he will run gives rewards (fun) at no cost. Therefore it is not useless drivel.
If you keep up with things (I know not everybody does and hey that's fine) you have a general idea of how each person's training is going.
Calculating how much of a straightaway 4 seconds is is basically an exact science and therefore it can't really be nonsense.
First of all, calculating how much of a straightaway 4 seconds is isn't a science. It's a simple conversion. Secondly, the concept of doing it is nonsense. There's no reason for it because it tells us nothing.
