neat question...I'm "no" to all, but neat nonetheless!

None But I do hold every course record in my area - I'm the only one who has run these courses, but I'm still the course record holder.

Dean, is that you?

I can't hold any of those for 1/2. Maybe with the women's world records, although not even those in my current shape.

None. I think the easiest have got to be the middle distance events though.

The switch from sprint to mid-distance is obviously a big physiological jump, so it's going to be the easiest. So to run at Kipketer's WR pace, you get to use pure sprint systems (for 400m) while he had to use the aerobic/anaerobic combination that is used in the 800. Clearly the 50 in the 400 or half of the 1k record are the easiest. I don't think anyone in the world could run half of Bolt's 100m or 200m WRs.

Because they have a static start, I don't even think Bolt could run half of Bolt's 100m record.

I can get one of them right now. In my prime, I could have gotten a couple more.

WR: 5.56, Donovan Bailey ('96) and Mo Greene ('99). No, not possible by Bolt or anyone else.

Dude, MJ's 43.18 averages out to 10.795 seconds per 100. That is crazy.

I think only 4 Americans ever - Kennedy, Maree, Lagat and Teg could hang on for half 10K record

Okay another question would be, out of the above events, which athlete could hold the pace till half way in the most events?

None but I might beat bolt in a 1 meter dash. Have to get a pretty good start though

No on all of the above.

Would a 2:40 marathon pr get it for me for a 50 miler? 6:59 50 miler pr. Any chance the 100 mile record is over 14 hours? Doubtful considering I have personally witnesses a mid 14 on trails. Maybe I can get it at 200 miles. My 100 mile pr is 15:35.
