Most UNbreakable records on the books?

may not be the best, but certainly overlooked-

Yiannis Kouros 24 hour record. 188 miles, 103 yards in 24 hours.

That's 7:39 pace and 17 miles more then anyone else has done before.

LEAST LIKELY TO BE BROKEN SOON

7:20 (El G and Bekele have tried but neither got close)

3:26.00 (No one running today is threatening this one)

19.32 (No one is close)

26:17 (After Bekele this one should stand for a while)

12:37 (a little weaker than the 10k)

43.18 (Quite a few people alive today who have potential to break this one)

9.72 (May turn out to be a very long-standing record)

3:43.13 (Look how close Webb got. If they run this race more)

1:41.11 (Kaki)

MOST LIKELY TO BE BROKEN SOON

How could you put 3:26 near the top and 3:43 near the bottom? It\'s true that the 1500 mark is superior, but not nearly that much superior. I think Bekele is a lot more likely to break the 3000m world record than anyone is likely to break the 1500m or mile record. This question is also difficult to answer, because we have to consider whether Bekele breaking his own records, for example, would count. Assuming that it doesn\'t count if Bekele and breaks his own record, I would order them like this

Least likely to be broken

1500

mile

200

5000

10000 (slightly weaker than the 5k in my opinion - pacing has been an issue for Bekele)

3000 (Bekele)

400 (Wariner)

800 (Kaki)

100 (Bolt, Gay, or Powell)

Jeff Nelson's 8:36 two-mile HSR.

Never in my life will I see that broken. And if I do, Keith Stone has to eat a cup of his own shit. That's the deal.

hahaha. Where's that negative-nancy Keith Stone at? I'd like to see him eat up!
