err...
i'm talking contemporaneously
after viren's 4 golds, he WAS regarded as being close to if not the goat
then came rono - stunning 4 wrs in 1 season - 3 at medal distances - another goat contender
same applied decades before to zatopek & all 3 golds one games
yes
if she'd run ~29'45 back then, she wouda been
for 30y+ the yardstick for sprints has been 10.00/11.00 & 20.00/22.00 - & lots of these races run every year - most of any events
you have your ~10% difference there as baseline
for increasing race distance it will be around this level/slightly less than 10% as power becomes less of a factor & endurance predominates & women's endurance capabilities are acknowledged as similar to men
however, i have a very good idea what it is, something clearly you don't
nonsense
i'm using the generally accepted conversion for 5k to 10k which is
10k = 2*5k + 1'00
try it for ingrid's 30'13 & see what it implies for her 5k & what was her actual 5kwr
err...
no
we have 50y of stats to work with
it's how you use them
for the casual observer only
truely clueless...
