What could rupp run a 3k in right now?

7:32

7:28.5

Rupp is on a whole different level at least with respect to flat races. He's run 3:34, his indoor 2 mile converts to 7:33, and he's run 12:58. All of these are faster times than Jager's PB's

7:30.

Jager's doing great but I don't think he could hang with Rupp at this distance yet. Give him another year or two.

Rupp can run a 12:58?

He just failed miserably to run a 13:41......

Jager would spank him in a flat 3k and steeple. Rupp is a 10k guy just like Pre, Pre was just a man and didn't let people sit on him and kick.

Just saw the 3k results from stockholm and saw that Jager ran 7:35 and wondered this myself. Anyone think Jager could challenge rupp in a race over 1500m, 3000m or 5000m?

No way. Rupp would own him at every distance. In fact, he'd probably own him at the steeple with a month of practice.

I would put Mo at 7:25 right now, so 7:26 sounds about right for Rupp.

Are you serious? If you have to ask this, I think you should leave letsrun.

Rupp has run a 12:58...12:58.90 to be precise, at Pre.

Don't compare him to Pre or Jager please, they are both solid runners with American history, but I can't tell if you're serious or not.

Yeah, and Galen can do it. Next point please.

So you say Rupp is as fast Geb, Morceli, Bekele, etc. over 3000m?

7:25 is a whole different league... Rupp will never get there!

Mo 7:30, Rupp 7:32

you saw reason today why they didn't run better than 7'25

shitty pacing

geb never got better than 4'56 ( komen had 4'53 ) & actually ran a 7'25/7'26 off a 5'01 !!!

isiah is obviously in big <<7'30 shape ( had 55 finish ) but wabbit sped off too fast at 28 & 59 & detached away

the gap remained, but wabbit slowed to 2'30, but chance of fast 3k gone as they weren't going to get even-paced 4'56/4'57 you need for 7'25 ( they were only aiming for 7'30 target which is poor )

2nd km was odd as longosiwa made a break but did nothing with it

if he'd still had peak strength he couda aimed for 7'26/7'27, but faded badly to 7'40

in effect, isiah ran a solo 7'30 with 55 finish

it's not

3'34.75/12'48.00 ->

7'28.83

12'51.79

or maybe even

3'33.0/26'35 - 26'40 ->

7'25.18 - 7'25.73

12'45.53 - 12'47.12

after all

3'30.00/12'40.00 ->

7'20.73

& mo has to be offered 26'30 - 26'35 at worst as 10k champ

& as he outkicks them all in 5k as well, 3'31 - 3'32 at worst

3'32.00/26'35.00 ->

7'23.91

12'44.31

3'32.00/26'30.00 ->

7'23.36

12'42.73

3'31.00/26'35.00 ->

7'22.64

12'43.09

3'31.00/26'30.00 ->

7'22.10

12'41.51

I love the 2 mile -> 3000m conversions you guys come up with.

1.08 standard conversion

nothing new

I'm coming up with 7:23

that's bangalangadanga certified.

if he's at 2 to go at 4:59, he could go 1:53 his last 800. It wouldn't be easy, but he could do it.
