The right people will be there to make the race very fast (or slow).

Can he? Yes.
Will he? He's been more consistent lately than he's ever been, so we'll just have to wait and see if this is the new Webb or if he reverts back to poor performances.
3:31.20
I think he will. Kind of have that feeling that the time is right. He's running extremely well, he's got the confidence, and the competition. It's time for a new AR.
PS nice to see Phoenix post, if this is the Pheonix who posted the great threads about the growth of mitochondria etc. awhile back.
You should know by now it is impossible to predict what Webb is going to do.
I say he will run anywhere from 3:31 - 3:34.
who holds the current record?
We all know that. On this forum it should not even be mention. It should be common knowledge. It is not Prefontain!
I know who it is.
The AR is 3:29.30 by Bernard Lagat. Worth a 3:45.8-3:46.0 mile, Webb ain't touching that yet.
Bad number - not good. I mean your username.

Agree with the above. As much as I'd like to see him do it, 3:29 is in a whole different stratosphere than what he has run in the past. His PR is 3:32 and change and while he's probably better than that now, it's hard to seem him knocking off 3 seconds in one race.
Steve Scott's mile AR is more realistic for him this summer.
He's racing 800m tomorrow...the most important thing is winning. A 1.45-1.46 time and I say he's ready to run 3.30-3.31 in Paris.
No
I think Webb knows 99% of the people here want him to succeed!!
1:46
3:32.50
My Predictions.
With his added speed this year. I say he runs 1:45 in his 8 and 3:30.high for the 15. Better yet to stick to the norm of letsrun I'll give an exact time.
800m 1:45.63
1500m 3:30.87
1:44
3:27
what brand of crack are you guys sniffing?
Jesus, looking at that f***ing prediction I can't do much worse so I'll say 1:42.49 and a 3:25.99.
As said before it is difficult to predict what Webb is going to do. Who would have predicted after that flop 2 mile he would beat Lagat at the US championships a few weeks later. It is better not to predict a result for him.
The only thing certain is that I know he will beat his PR of 3:48 for the mile. He could shave off two seconds from that time. He does have to be feeling confident after beating Lagat (the second greatest 1500 meter runner ever) last week.
So for the next 5 days we can waste our lunch hour at work predicting what Webb is going to run. It sure beats doing lawn tractor ads in Indesign all day.
I guess we live through our sports stars because work can become dull.

Webb has a shot at 3:29 by late in the summer. A 3:29 is worth ... 3:29. The comparisons with the mile are useless or EPO Bernie would have run 3:42 in the mile by now.
