The calculator said what it said. Centro beat 3:26, 3:28, 3:29 guys, but you think his run didn't indicate that ability. O.K. I guess that even though they were with him in the last lap, they decided that they weren't going to go all out. Or, they ALL were just having a bad day and worth only 3:50 on that day.

Ryun was a once in a generation talent, maybe better than that. Try 36.5 close on a dirt track in a 3:38 or 2:46 close in a 3:33.1 in 90+ degrees on a track hardly in pristine condition. I just ran on an all weather track resurfaced poorly--I slid back a bit on each step because the surface was slippery. In high school I ran on a cinder track and the slide was considerably greater and the surface often chewed up. If you've never run on such tracks, you'd have no idea their effect.

The calculator says Centro's run was worth 3:37.5. Not 3:29.

I also used to train on a 440y dirt track on weekends (was once cinder but was left to the elements).

With nobody upkeeping it, the surface was not that much worse than the all weather track I also trained on on weekdays. I could hit similar times for reps. I'd say the difference at my 800m pace (Ryun's 1500m pace) was under 1.5s per lap, considering the all weather was shorter at 400m. I have all the times recorded in my old training diary.

So really it is about 1s slower if the distance was the same.

That was on pure dirt.

I really cannot see how a cinder track, or the notorious asphalt track, could be worse than that.
