How do you know he was in peak condition? He's never messed up his peaking for the season before.
Before Oslo, no man had ever broken 3:29 before July, and Jakob has done it twice in a couple of weeks. Before Oslo, the best ever time before July was Morceli with 3:29.20, so Jakob ran well over a second faster than any other man in June in history. The best El G ever ran before July was 3:29.5
Morceli and El Guerrouj would have easily run under 3:29 before July if they had the conditions Jakob has; track, shoes and lights. Easily.
And neither would be under 3:30 if they ran in an era with an EPO test. Give me a break
Please, let's get sober. Both ways. For the time being is not able to break the world record. First step is to run under Morcelis 3:27.37. Taking his current shape into consideration he will do that in Silesia. If not he will disappointed.
