Why would I be looking for a 57? That came from your flawed calculator, not me.
Although it's funny how you quote Canova as an authority to support your argument, except for when Canova says 13:10 / 27:00 is a reasonable combo, then he can't be trusted. Sort of like how you justify ridiculous things on your calculator but throw out others.
he tries to go out in 55+/1'51+ it will damn feel like it's killing him in last lap

And if he goes out in 57 / 1:55, then what?
Tell me this: what if Rudisha did start training so that he could run the 1500? Let's say, hypothetically, he gets into 3:30 shape, which you agree is better than he can do now, but he manages to keep his 45.15 400 speed. Clearly he'll be even better at the 800 in this case. But how much better?
Ready for it?
1:41.68! Most of a second slower!
With equal speed and improved endurance, Rudisha has gotten slower at the 800! How can you not see the flaw in this calculation???
Which one is wrong, you ask? The 57 is wrong. Ergo the calculator is wrong.
wow totally valid and thorough point there
While were at it, I asked you which one Rupp is... Given that he's run 50.x at the end of workouts lately, I guess he's the top one? Because he's ain't runnin no 3:32 or 12:51, I can tell you that much...
Please tell me how, in at least half a dozen good opportunities each, John Cheruiyot Korir and Bernard Kipyego never did better than 13:09 when you claim they were capable of 12:56?
You're trying to tell me Hall could run a 59:43 solo in the rain on a hilly course, but couldn't do it on a perfect day with pacers on the track?
Oh, and meanwhile, Kenenisa Bekele's PRs predict a 57:50 half-marathon on your calculator, so don't tell me it's because the track is slower...
And how about Mosop's 1:26:47 for 30,000m? Any line of fit seems unreasonable for that.
