EL G will win, how fast?
I say 3:28

3:33
Judging by El G's other non-1500m races, he is not quite on form. I say around 3:30....and if he hits it any slower, than he may not even win.

is that about a 3:45 mile? i'm not sure about conversions, about 15 seconds at that speed isn't it?
3:46.5 ~ mile
El G breaks 3:30 again.
What is that, 50-60 times under 3:30 for his career?
Incidentally, I do not see too many countries with multiple athletes ander the "A: standard.
Kenya (with about 10-15 runners under 3:35), France, Spain...
Assuming velocity constant, which it isn't.
Assuming energy constant, which it isn't.
(209.76/1500)*109.3440 = 15.29 seconds
So, 3:29/76 + 15.29 is approximately 3:45.05 at sea level, latitude 14º32'43" South, barometer 1044 steady.
Going strictly by pace, it's 3:45.05. I would guess low to mid 3:46 seems reasonable, but I'm no expert on conversion. A little off topic, but I think that in light of El G's 3:26.00 record, his mile record should be lower than 3:43.13.
his splits were something like this:
55.3, 55.9, 57.0, 41.8 last 300m... that's sick. does anyone know his splits in either his mile or 1500m world records, maybe i don't even want to know. what a specimen!
The rule of multiplying the 1500 time by 1.08 works very well.
That converts 3:42.0 to 3:59.8 (oft used 17.8 conversion)
3:26.00 times 1.08 would be 3:42.5 for a mile (16.5s for the faster pace)
Sound good?
ElGs WR's have been remarkably even paced 55 point laps. It's that 2:44.75 1200 in last years Reiti meeting that's out there.

I dunno. Go through all the folks with 1500/mile times you can get your hands on. Do an analysis of the relationships to validate your assumption. Now get the athletes to promise to run according to the mathematical rules you have just derived. No great kicks, tactical races, thundering herd in the last 100 metres, head winds, hail storms, kicking, biting, good days, bad days, gots to be uniform all around,...
All approximations are good when understood to be approximations that are etched in stone until found to be erroneous or the stone is found to be talc.
The generally accepted equivalant (from those in the equivalent business) is 3:42.2 = 4:00.0
You can make your extrapolations from there.

Does the silver backed glass have anything to do with this?
