What was his 3000m split in his 8:29 2 Mile?
What was his 3000m split in his 8:29 2 Mile?
Track and Field News shows German Fernandez holds the record with 7:59.xx — accomplished en route during his 2-mile national record of 8:34.xx — but LV broke GF's 2-mile record by over 4 seconds, and I heard somewhere else that he went through the 3K in 7:57 high. Apparently, though, a 3K split was taken in GF's run and not in LV's.
All that really matters is that it converts to a 7:48.46, which is a significant improvement on whatever they went through 3000m at.
