Recently read this thread and a year later Salvatore's post still seems pretty relevant in that he needs to go through 800m in 1:50 high to even have a shot at the 1500 WR. Closing in sub 40 seems unrealistic.
What does he set the lights to for the 5000m though? Can he do it going completely even through 3k in 12:35 pace (7:33) and just sit on the lights until the bell? Should he go through 3k slower so that he can close in a 55-56 second last lap, perhaps 7:37? Are the 5 extra laps from a 3k going to hurt him? I feel like given his 7:17 3k, 7:37 through 3k should feel "easier" and he probably can close in around 4:53-4:55 for the final 2k, does it really seem that easy? Can he still do this going through 3k in 7:33? Is 12:35 weaker than 7:17 or am I just delusional? What do we think is his dream 5k WR attempt?
