27:52 off that slow pace?
Imagine a nice even 26:55 pace from the gun.
He breaks 27 in that case.

he will not break 27 this year, and he WILL get destroyed by the africans when it matters.
He looked like he could go 53 seconds faster.
Will he be fast enough to win Berlin? Probably not...but a 26:5X from him is possible RIGHT NOW.
He sure looked like the race was a joke. And we know he's in great shape. But he hasn't run a fast 10k yet this spring, he's had a long season, and 26:5x is fast, even for him. I don't think he'll do it this year, but am pretty sure he'll do so at some point. It would be sweet if he did it in Berlin though.

You just proved you're an idiot.

nice long post. all of what we are saying is that he's not going to have much of an impact on world stage. He'll improve but how much we are talking here. I say he goes 27:14 for 10k and 13:07 for 5k. That should be good for him. I DONT see him going sub 27 let alone sub 13. Do any of you guys now how fast that is. It seems like most of you guys are underestimating these barriers and just think rupp closes really fast at 28min paces and 14min paces means that its a lock for him to go sub 27 and sub 13. I'm afraid not. There is a reason why arturo barrios 10k record have yet to be broken by a non african. Its hard as hell. But all in all, I would be really happy for him to prove me wrong. -Peace-
Bemp! :)
