Paul Koech has a 5:17 2000 steeple (indoor) and is hoping to breaking that in Gent next week. What do you think that, say, a 5:15 2000 SC is good for in the 3000 SC? There are a few calculators that predict 8:05 for the 3000 with this 2000, but my sense is that the drop-off in pace might be less 2000-->3000 SC than for 2000-->3000 flat.
What do you think, gents?
if you actually lived up to your name, then you would know that there is no water jump associated with the indoor steeple, thus making all comparisons moot...
5'15 outdoors for a 2k is probably ~ 8'06.0
mekissi holds outdoor wr at 5'10.68 which i get as worth ~ 7'59.3 which doesn't compare too badly with his 8'02pb, but he looks possibly better at shorter distances with 2'17 & 3'35pbs & 3k is possibly slightly beyond his best racing distance
I would love to see the indoor steeple, especially if the water jump was on a banked curve!!
Knob, we are already comparing two different distances on two different track sizes, indoors vs outdoors.
Obviously, like all of these factors, the absence of the water jump affects things, which is WHY I ASKED THE QUESTION.
Now answer it, or leave the grownups alone.
