Your gibberish response, which reinforced all of the inaccuracies of your previous post, only underlines the fact that you don't read properly and that perhaps you're too old to remember what you did read or see.

he was 10m behind at the bell & only rapidly fading rabbit allowed him to catch-up & the wabbit moved into lane 2 as rudy approached, so he got NOT even 0.1s of drafting 1 - 2m behind
Rabbit-49.4
Rudisha-50.2.
If that's 10m then Rudisha was covering each 100 in 8secs!
Idiot. It was 6m.

i am not interested in books written 10 - 15y after the events
my knowledge is from watching the races at the time & avidly reading the broadsheets/athletics mags at the time - impartial contemporary sources, not PROPAGANDA to embellish the coe myth years later
That's why there was a noticeable improvement between Coe's 2 Mile records. He'd run a solo 1:44.0 the week before his record, then didn't run any other fast 800s for the rest of the season. Why should he,..he was 1.7 faster than anyone else in history and no one else broke 1:44 that seasonsolo 1'44 later on - worth mid-1'43 with wabbit 200 - 400m
indicative of past his peak for 800m already for the season
Duhh!
I thought you said you avidly read the "broadsheets". If you did, then you'd know he ran his solo 1:44.0 at Crystal Palace on June 3rd, a week before his 1:41.7 NOT a week before his Mile records in August. Forgetful aren't we! Most of the rest of your thread is a nonsense as it keeps referring back to this little gem of a "cock up". You can't even read my comments accurately.

So you claim he reached his peak in early June and then deteriorated throughout the rest of the season. That's laughable. His Stockholm 1500m in July was worth sub 3:28 when eneven pacemaking and lack of any drafting (using calculations from the formulas you are always quoting)are taken into consideration. His 3:47.3 Mile was not what he was capable of given decent pacingneither, if ideally run were calibre of his 800
WRONG! According to your formula and your Predictor anyway.
3:31.9 (52.4, 56.7, 59.2, 43,6) with no drafting from 200m to 1100m is worth 3:29.7 (with 51.9, 55.7, 58.45, 43.6)
If you then use the formula you used on the Sanchez thread for 51.9/2:37.8 split, you get a time of 3:27.16
Putting 45.7 (which he ran from a standing start relay leg week before Florence) and 1:41.73 into your predictor, it gives you a 1500 potential of 3:28.31!
Try 45.7 with 3:27.16 and you get an 800m potential of 1:41.41.
So it would seem that if using the calculations you regularly use and swear by, his Stockholm run on July 7th was actually a superior run if "ideally run"

As for his Mile being not as good, you've already stated that 1500m times have little bearing on 800m ability. His two Mile records tell us he was head and shoulders above the rest of the World's milers that year and doesn't tell us a great deal about what he could have run for 800m in Augusthis 1'44.0 did
What 1:44.0 IDIOT?
Oh, I forgot. You imagined him running 1:44.0 in August. He didn't!

I'm not going to lower myself to your standards by using racist language, but I will say that you are so biased towards African runners in general and Kenyan runners in particular. You'll happily say they all under achieved and were capable of 1 or 2 seconds faster. For others you'll quibble over a couple of tenths.
