Often talked about conversion tables can lead to many opinions but Monson’s 423 is nowhere near a 820 3k that Ritz has planned for her . A female runner who times improve and a sweet spot at 3k , the conversion table can better used for a fire I guess
Of course not. 8:20 converts more to a 4:15 mile. There is only a handful of non-chinese women who ever ran 8:20 or faster. People also got carried away with the altitude workout that converted more to a low 4:20 than sub 4:20 mile (these 9 m are ~1.7 sec. people tend to forget).
Monson has improved by leaps and bounds in the last two years (as much or more than Schweizer in 2019-20) and she had only a 4:07 1500m until today which was much weaker than her long distance results (and still is). That does not mean that she might run 8:25 or faster in two weeks but, like Gidey or Ayana, she is doing this based on strength, not comparably (with Hassan or Muir or Tsegay) low 1500m speed. She might never break 4 min in the 1500m but she doesn't need to.

Monsoon is a 10k runner so mile conversions don't matter. I thought she would run a little bit faster than 423 tbf but she got the W.

Do you not realize she’s already run 8:26 as a 4:30+ athlete? I’ll give her a sub-8:20 bc she’s a monster. I ran 8:26 with a 4:16 indoor best.
Exactly . 416 and 826. Table fits you

A few things to consider here:
- Monson gets a lot better as the distance goes up so a 1500 prediction is going to be less accurate than a 3k prediction
- the rabbit, the same person who screwed up the 1k, went 30.9 (for 209) - 34.3 before dropping. Monson's third lap was 34.9. Die was cast at that point.
This looked a workout for her.
What happened, i thought she was supposed to blow out tuohy?! 🤣👍
