Rojo says it's "insanity" for some people here to believe the race tomorrow could be won in 7:52

It, in fact, will not be 7:52.

Rojo gets to have his opinion. You get to have yours.

Yeah, I agree with Rojo on this one. 7:52 is two back to back 3:56 miles. So they would be in uncharted territory that no human has been in before. Jakob ran his 7:54 outdoors, with reliable pacing just for him, and is a 3:26 1500 guy. None of the guys in this field have broken 3:27.

Looking at their resumes, I do think the race will be won in a new indoor WR in around 7:57. Fisher’s 7:22 converts to about that, and he looks to be in about the same shape as last year, judging from his recent 4:48. He has already openly admitted he is going to press the pace, so if he doesn’t win, sure Hocker, Kerr, or somebody will take it, but it will be a late move after the pack has thinned out from such a fast pace. 7:52 is way too fast and there is no way any of these guys are in that kind of shape, especially in January.

If anyone runs 7:52 tomorrow I would be fine with WADA banning them without a test

Will you also come back here to admit when you’re wrong when it doesn’t?

If you're talking about the Robert Platt Invite 3000m, you don't appear in the results. You should look into that.

I watched a 16 year old run 3:48. I assume that a 25 year old can run 7:52.

There's an indoor race named after Robert Plant?

No, it can be a 3:59 followed by a 3:53

LRC people are racists.

They are obsessed with a race.

Didn't Jakob run that WR with about a 4:01 first mile and then cranking it the second with a 54-55 close?

The only human on earth who can run 7:52 is a Jakob in 7:17 shape who gets to draft off of a clone of himself lol, but tomorrow I see 7:57 low happening
