If I can run 57-58 1/4 mile, I can maintain 71 sec 400s in a 5k ( a 13-14 second differential.) I can see this 12-13 sec difference at various times in my career.
I wonder what Bekele's top 1/4 speed is? Perhaps 47-48. Add +13= 14= 60-61. What is the 5K WR (61.4)??
What are other people's results?

Uh try 49.xx
No. Bekele can CLOSE 10k's in 52/53. You really think his top speed is 49?
My difference was 19.6 at my prime. But I was a miler, not a 5ker and definately did not run to my potential in the 5k.
52-53 all out
around 74 for my 5k PR
damn i suck..

More like 50, IMHO. EPO and Repoxygen boost VO2 Max a great deal, so athletes can finish races which would have been very, very fast 20 years ago much more quickly. But the fact that a Bekele can run a 52-53 second last 400 in a sub-13 5000 does not make him an exceptional sprinter.
I'm similar to you, all out PR is 59.3 with a 5k PR of 15:03 (about 72 per 400). I could probably run a 400 faster but I never really thought it would be a good idea in my training.
52 all out
76 pace for 5k
58.3 400m pb
14:20 5k (68 highs) but that was a solo time trial so I'm guessing I could've run closer to 14 flat.
Alberto salazar ran only about 58 and he ran 13:13? or so.
76 per lap for 5k.
56 all out 400m.
20 seconds.
so your saying that jermey can run 43+14=... 57 LAPS FOR 5K? ZOMG! WE HAVE A NEW RECORD!
about 78 per lap 5k
49.8 for 400m. I'm not a 5k runner though.
5k 84
400 60
The 84 is going to keep coming down, hopefully to 80 this year. I don't think that 60's going anywhere.

Do you have ANY idea how boring you are getting?

I'm telling you right now Al-Sal could run faster than a 58, same with you. I don't know why so many people pride themselves on shitty 400 pbs with good 5ks.
53.8 in a workout (i've only raced 55.0, but the last time i ran a fresh 4 was in grade 10). 76.8 for 5000m. 23 second difference
the real question is... whose saying is it?

bull.
What is EPO AND Repoxygen? Thanks
57 in the 400. about 73.5 for 5k. Of course the 57 was during an 800 so I might have been able to drop that by a second or two.
