I have to choose between these two, the race is 2 weeks. I don't want to do a time trial as one of the guys is much "better" in workouts than the other while the other guy only seems to preform well on race day.
What should each of them be able to run?
1:55 and 4:14
1:52 and 4:18
Without knowing anything more about the runners...
The 1:55/4:14 guy could probably run about 3:04 (~3:02-3:06).
The 1:52/4:18 guy could probably run about 3:03 (~3:00-3:05).
So, if they are about the same or the 1:52/4:18 guy is very slightly better, I'd use the 4:14 guy as the anchor as that is an even bigger difference.
