Whats the best likely temperature range for Webb to break the mile record? I'm guessing low to mid 60s, in late Fall, in a European race would be his best change. The problem would be finding someone ready to go 3:46 pace through 3 laps. If he could go 2:50 and close in 56:, then the job is done. There arent a ton of sub 3:47 milers all-time, only abot 30 or so.
Temperature isn't really that important of a factor, as long as it isn't ungodly hot or cold.
oh, please, somebody say something clever about hell freezing over. oh please oh please oh pretty please
whatever it is that you've been smoking, would you mind passing some of it around to the rest of the message bored...er um I mean board.

after careful calculations, 72.6 degrees is the perfect temperature for webb to break the record. now all he has to do is get into a race with good competition, on a track with adequate energy return, in a stadium with 45,394.2 people, cheering at over 108.6 decibels, and the wind blowing to the northwest at 1.7 m/s. ideal conditions.
I ran my mile PR in a 32-degree rain/snow mix, but I was sore for a week.
i ran my best mile at Mcgill. But it was a 1500m Does that count for mile?

Klassen is a pimp!! I still remember him winning Cdn Nat's back in '98.... I was behind watching.
Kevin?
I'd have to say 98.6
