This is like Clemens still hitting 98mph at 38 or Bonds hitting 70+ HRs at 38. I am tired of it.

8:04.35? That's weak. Lindgren ran than pace for 4 miles on a cross-country course when the WR for 5000m was still north of 13:15.

Don't believe everything that you read. Lagat isn't going for the WR.

True. I think that was the same year he ran 1:59 marathon pace for 25 miles, right?
Why use outdoor 2 mile all-time best's list if he is running it indoor. Rupp's 8'08 isn't even in there.
Hopefully they actually chase the record and not just say they are to get people watching then run 8'20.

As has been posted previously:
The alltime performance list for both outdoors & indoors may be found here -

At his best, Lagat was a 3:26 1500m runner and probably sub 7:25 for 3000m. He's slowed about 2%.

8'04i is a damn good mark
ncaa app gives it as about a 7'59 for outdoors which with standard conversion of 1.08 -> outdoor 3k of

bernie is not in this shape anymore ( probably was in '06 in 3'29/12'59 shape ( latter with a 51.5 finish ))
