Can Centro Challenge The Men's 1500M WR?

He's in a race with the Feds to do it.

You can speculate all you want about how Ryun could have run faster, but he didn't. No one will know how how fast Ryun could run on a modern track.

I guess that's all you do here, you speculate.

On a different note, do they still have those huge monetary incentives for records, I remember distinctly hearing in the video of El G's WR attempt in the 1500 or mile that the one to break the world record would receive 50 grand or something like that. Could some athletic body institute that for World or Area records now if it isn't already there?

err...

do you understand concept of "analysis" ?

what is a better "intrinsic" run

- 3'38.2 with 11.6 kick at 1200 for final 300 of 36.5 on dirt chewed up by a 10k before

- 3'50.0 with last 300 of what ???

no

if you apply yourself enough at the question with enough research/tools, you can get a bloody good idea !!!

eh ?

that makes me unique ???

Centro is a doped up cheater. None of his medals count. Ever. He's an arrogant punk. Cheater, doper

He schooled Mo tonight. Any believers?

To attempt the WR, Centro would have to run right behind a rabbit and go out in about 1:50 point and finish as strong as he does going out in 1:55. That's not his racing style and I doubt he could go out in 1:50 and still have his legs under him. Although, I think he is better than when he ran 3:30 3 years ago, I suspect is capable of 2:29 and perhaps if the all the stars aligned, perhaps 3:28. Who ever breaks the WR is going to be an athlete who can run a 1:43 800 and a sub-13 5K.

Trackbot! Splits for Matthew Centrowitz in Rio 2016

Do you just constantly use the search function to find posts about Ryun? I imagine you sitting there refreshing over and over just so you can babble on and on about the same old crap. No one cares. You aren't convincing anyone of anything. Write a book about your boyfriend and stop posting all over letsrun about it.

One won Olympic Gold, the other will be forgotten when you stop blabbing about it.

"Intrinsically" the 3:50 was better. Don't need to apply anything.

Centro better than Ryun? Not a chance. When has Centro ever run 2:46 for the last 1200m or 1320y of a race? He ran 3:30 behind nine other guys, plus the pacers, on a superfast track. What is his best time serving as sole pacer on a dirt track? No, it is not even close to Ryun's best.

When did Mo set the WR? Oh yeah.

In the indoor two mile...

I believe MCJunior holds the WR for fastest guy to finish in tenth place.

I believe you're right, he's the fastest 10th place finisher ever. Imagine if Centro had let Souleiman get in front of him in Rio instead of speeding up. He might not have medaled. He ran a great race, had some luck too, but he is a great racer. Ryun is mentioned, there's no way Centro is as talented as Ryun. It's not even close.

Here's that 36.4 last 300 on a chewed up track in Dusseldorf. One can picture Morceli doing something like this, but not Centro:

Lol, Centro cannot touch the necessary en route splits of 1:50-51 and 2:46-47 at 1200m, let alone break 330!

Hes a good championship runner when using Salazar's drugs, but nowhere (!!) near as physically gifted as someone like Makloufi... even he can barely get near the splits listed above.

The current top 10 elites would all be able to match those splits on amphetamines.

Lol, id love to see Kiprop, Malkloufi and team in a Meth Mile

Alberto would have to put him on the Jarmila program for him to challenge the WR.

If he can do it, why doesn't he?

I think he'd need a 2% graded downhill and a nice tailwind to get the WR.

all Centro has to do is carry his 1000m PR pace for another 500m and he'll break the 1500 world record by a full second
