Michael Johnson is mentally challenged

here's one for you

plenty of talk about bernie running a 10k sometime soon

if he does so, his 1500 speed will be killed off, from somewhere like current 3'32 to 3'33/3'35, but he shoud still be able to run ~ 12'50 with compensating better endurance

12'50 with

3'33 ->7'26.8 , 26'49.1

3'34 ->7'27.6 , 26'45.3

3'35 ->7'28.5 , 26'41.5

take your pick & come back here if/when he runs a 10k...

27-flat was used as consensus target time

Consensus? Nope.

Interesting. You're predicting that Bernard Lagat could run in the 26:40s for 10,000?

I actually don't disagree, but you are just so often wrong than I now feel the need to question the possibility. To put it within a true ventolin-certified range, let's just say he could run between 26:30 and 27:30.

Again, you're hilarious. By definition, he was a factor going into that race.

Just because you didn't see it doesn't mean nobody else did.

But again, you don't know that much about long distance, so I'll forgive your error. Just not your failure to acknowledge it. Disturbing that you're a physician...

Ahhh, the unmistakable Scent of the Vent.

Are you serious? Lagat couldn't even lock up an NCAA cross title and you think he has 26:41 in him? And when did he ever go 12:50 or 7:28.5?

Maybe because he was training for the 1500m? He definitely did get a NCAA 5k title though

Looking back on this thread is extremely validating for me.

All you doubters, read it and learn.

Johnson is a mental dud, a proverbial dumb jock.

Hahaha, You are such a loser
