A trip to kenya where he will meet former sprinter pamela Jelimo. Seriously though, Wariner would do well in the 800,i even suspect that he could quite easily break Wilson Kipketer's WR.Someone needs to talk to him,may be BROJOs can do it.....talk to this dude,guys.
$500,000 with a stipulation that he has to break 1:44. $750,000k if he breaks 1:42.5, and $1,000,000 if he breaks the WR.
about another lap
quite easily? I sincerely doubt it would be easy.
Matt Tegenkamp running a 10k.
So lets say he runs a 49 first lap, that is 6 seconds slower than his PR. Say he puts in a good 6 months of mileage then he could probably come back in a 55 second lap. I think he could definitely hit 1:44. Maybe he could come through in 46-47 and come back in 55. I don't know how much endurance he would have sprinting a second lap.
maybe he could try going 58 - 43
i doubt he has the wheels to come back strong though.

I don't get what "I doubt he has the wheels to come back strong though" means. Wheels normally refers to sprint speed, and he does have that. If that was how you meant to use wheels then that statement make no sense. Anyway, I assume you're joking with the 58-43 comment.
After LM has the world record, and has won two straight Olympics and the WC in between, Jeremy will realize that he needs to move up in distance. Unfortunately, it will be too late.
I'm not talking move up to the distance permenantly, I'm just talking run ONE 800m. Nick Symmonds runs some 1500s and miles when he's doing base work. Why can't Jeremy run an early season 800m when he's doing some longer stuff? He wouldn't even have to do much specific training. Just give it a go. Surely he could pull off at least a 1:47-1:48, which would put him in the mix at least most of the way.
I think most guys like Wariner have in fact tried out the 800 in a relaxed environment. He probably was like "Wow, I suck at this" and felt no need to push any further. Wariner is more 200/400 like Michael Johnson imo. He and Bolt show that slim and efficient sprinters are extremely viable but may not be 800 types at all. But anyway, I think he has so much pride that he would not want to embarass himself and other sprinters by running a terrible time. He would probably require a million dollars guaranteed, bonuses, and plenty of time to train for it in a non-championship year.
Pay the man!
