Right now, can Alan Webb break the American 5K record? If not, how fast can he go?

I dunno how much longer work he has done. He seems to be in 800/1500 mode at the moment. If he is ready for a 5,000 then he can go 13:00 or faster. If he is not, then 13:10 at the fastest. Personally, if I was Alan I would wait until after the World Champs, and then once Ive gotten my medal, take a stab at a fast 5k.

13:11. I hate when people do this sh*t!! Speculate all you want. His only concern is the 1500 at WC's this year. Let's speculate his 400, 1000, 2000 and 3K time. Result(s), who cares?! He has one more warm-up (a 1500 run coming up) and then the WC's rounds. This is all we should be focusing on.

Hell, while I'm at it, let me break out my magic Eight-ball and give accurate PR times from 200-10K for Webb. Get a friggin' life.
Giving all the recent hype around Webb, I stumbled accross this and it was a pretty good read. Sums up the recent events w/ Webb and his future as America's prophet of distance running.
