Haile's Splits from Berlin......how far could you run with him??

I couldn't run *1* 5K with Haile...

At my best, maybe a mile or so.

Now, about 200 meters.

The man is unreal. I will humble myself and admit I could only run 3-4k with the man.

At my best, 8k.

Too bad he can't beat everyone within two minutes of his PR in a race.

id say around 2 miles

the whole race, in fact I would have beat him

look for me to break the wr by 2010

I believe that's 4:43 pace? Anyway I would be able to go with him for 200m.

2 yrs ago 3k. Now 250 meters?

My best maybe 1K, now I think about 100M as long as I could throw an elbow at the start.

MAYBE 2k...If I had a pretty freak race. There would have to be a ton of adrenaline helping though, knowing that you are running with THE Haile G.

right now. 10k. soon hopefully more.

2.5

Maybe 4k...

11 people break it over 7 years for a total of 4 minutes then nothing for 2 decades.

well, farther than most but still my tail would be tucked between my legs after the inevitable whipping!
