Hopefully this opens up the eyes of a lot of coaches. Those sprinters you have might be distance runners with speed.

Drugs are a wonderful thing. Hat the hell was Farah before the drugs? A mediocre world class runner.

49 isn't winning any championships on most levels.
49 seconds for 400m in training=48 in a race probably (but not from blocks).
49 is nothing. If he only has 49 speed he's slow.
Besides, it doesn't mean anything to say you have 49 speed on day x when you can go to the mountains in Ethiopia and change your fibers with GW150,
clenbuterol, or whatever designer chemical of the day.

Your response is not relevant.

NOP does their sprinters with running starts. His 49 is probably a 50 in a race.
*sprints not spinters
12.98*4 = 51.92
Something doesn't add up

Does that he mean an open time trial or a hard 400m after workout?
It means that Centro beats MoNo in speed workouts. Let's remember that Centro won the Olympic GOLD MEDAL with a 50.62 last lap.
Has MoNo ever finished a race in his life with a 50.62 last 400m??????
Maybe not.
Do you remember that Centro did a workout before the Olympics of 8 x 400m in 51 sec. avg. with the last 400m in 49.7 seconds?…and that he was ahead of MoNo in some workouts they did together in Flagstaff?
I do.
Oh well.
Mo is not a miler. How would centre compare on long reps.

Exactly,
Calculo is Ventolin,
Ventolin is Calculo,
Einhorn is Finkle,
Finkle is Einhorn,
Einhorn is a man!!!
he was out of shape then, can't start from blocks, and has very little acceleration (=power). From a running start, it is a different matter. The start doesn't matter as much for 400m as 100m anyway.

Of course and only in Sabadell, oops......I meant Font Romeu.......no, no sorry Ethiopia....no, no, now I'm confused.
Centro is getting there, but his father still has a faster 5K PR at 13:12.91.
Mo does his speedwork with world-class milers and does his distance runs with world class marathoners. He does consistent high volume/high intensity training at high altitude with his altitude tent at night set to 3000m (9860ft.)…and does squats with heavy weight for a distance runner.
In conclusion:
1) Mo does it all in training.
Darn.

Thank you for numbering a one item list

that 50.89 was what led some observers to believe he had 49+ speed at the time
i reckon 49.25 - 49.50 open 400 was reasonable for him at that time ( not nowdays ) when likely 50-low/mid
at that speed peak i reckon he had ~ 26'30 - 26'35, meaning if he'd chased the clock back then, his potential :
49.50 / 26'35 ->
1'45.16
3'27.64
4'43.25
7'18.38
12'39.01
49.50 / 26'30 ->
1'45.07
3'27.34
4'42.75
7'17.45
12'37.05
49.25 / 26'35 ->
1'44.77
3'27.09
4'42.63
7'17.68
12'38.34
49.25 / 26'30 ->
1'44.68
3'26.78
4'42.12
7'16.74
12'36.37
he definitely shouda annihilated the 2k & 3k WRs & run around 3'27-flat
( which is what his 3'28.9 in '15 wouda been if he'd been drafted from gun to bell by 2nd set of pacers not forlornly behind an Asbel who was miles ahead & offering no drafting )
Whilst I disagree with some of your extrapolations, Ian Stewart has said he has seen Mo do 1:45 for 800m, probably hand timed though.

These guys make me suspicious.
I wonder who is playing to resurface the ripped up Sabadell track? I bet is is the local tax payers.
Since virtually every elite distance runner from 3000m to the Marathon can run a sub-4:00 mile, I would think they can run :48 to :47 flat out, and certainly could run a few :49's during an interval or repeat session. But I didn't read the question so I'm not 100% sure what he was really trying to say.
