i'm not sure if you are just dumb &/or you don't follow this sport
likely both
- geb2 ran 12'46 last year with a 54 finish
that wouda been close to 12'40 at even pace
- canova watched mo train in '10 in kenya when he was a 12'57 guy
he says he's now much stronger & believes he's more like a 12'40/26'30 guy
I am dumb but I do follow the sport.
ventolin thinks everybodys dumb
he's still livin off that 'lucky strike' with mo farahs 3-28
Mo is easily sub 12:40, but maybe not sub 26:30.
mo isn't easily sub 12-40
no chance

Vent - as of this very day, what is your line of fit for Farah for 3000m?

i've posted them quite a few times
combine high 49 speed ( from his 50.89 in that 14-flat ) with the 800
( both to 0.1s accuracy - it's not worth the bother going to 0.05 let alone 0.01 accuracy )
which yields a 10k around 26'30
my favorite candidates are :
49.9 / 1'45.8 ->
3'28.22
4'43.75
7'18.56
12'38.12
26'29.98
49.9 / 1'45.7 ->
3'28.58
4'44.33
7'19.66
12'40.39
26'35.79
49.8 / 1'45.6 ->
3'28.20
4'43.83
7'18.91
12'39.14
26'33.29
any faster 400/800 combos will get even faster 3k/5k !
all roads seem to lead to 7'18/7'19
( remember though, if komen had been properly rested ( "tired" looking 13-flat just 2/7 before ) & pacer hadn't set off at a ridiculous 57+, he probably wouda gone low-7'19 )
the problem for mo certainly isn't the speed or endurance required - it's geting a pacer to get him thru evenly in 4'52+
rupp woud have to sacrifice himself to do it & act as mo's pacer - i can't see any african being good enough or willing to do it

We also have to go back to 1992 to find an Olympic 10,000 champion who is not in that photo.
So make that 14 out of the last 16 Oly/WC 10000m golds running together with about 1 mile to go.
Aha, now you're onto something. That's just too incredible to be credible. Definitely a fix.
