When Kipchoge & Co went out 13:48/5k in London 2018 (4:25-pace), that third downhill-mile might have been 4:18ish...?
I recall some crazy splits but not sure about exact times.
13:48 first 5k is quite fast at least 🤣

According to this video (which Jonathan should really review), Salazar ran a 4:33 to get away from Jose Gomez.
Look for the 4:10 mark, though you should watch the whole insane thing.

Sorry, 12 minute mark. Start at 11:40, though, to hear "El Foldo."

First 3 were about 4:22, 4:30, 4:23 I think

The reality is that it's a moot point if the course is record eligible or not. It's if the mile that the athlete ran meets the criteria. One would have to do some research to see if any of these fast miles were actually downhill or not. And we are not even considering the fact that probably most of these miles were point to point with very few turns.

Salazar was an absolute boss.. one of the all-time greats.

The official LetsRun 2018 London Marathon thread (https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=8778639&page=20) may in fact be the best existing chronicle of that race's splits. Total carnage:

Just like Salazar's 2:08.13 was a world record/best, his 4:33 split was the world record at the time for mile in the midst of a marathon. Rabbits, I believe, we not used in marathons until John Graham acted as one at Rotterdam 83.

I believe Baldini’s last mile split was right around 4:20 in Athens, but that’s based on memory. JG’s rewatch article has it a little slower.

12 seconds down with a mile to go, Andres Espinosa closed the final mile of Boston 1994 in 4:20. He came up short in his pursuit to catch Cosmos Ndeti. 2:07:15 to 2:07:19
