i've posted them quite a few times
combine high 49 speed ( from his 50.89 in that 14-flat ) with the 800
( both to 0.1s accuracy - it's not worth the bother going to 0.05 let alone 0.01 accuracy )
which yields a 10k around 26'30
my favorite candidates are :
49.9 / 1'45.8 ->
3'28.22
4'43.75
7'18.56
12'38.12
26'29.98
49.9 / 1'45.7 ->
3'28.58
4'44.33
7'19.66
12'40.39
26'35.79
49.8 / 1'45.6 ->
3'28.20
4'43.83
7'18.91
12'39.14
26'33.29
any faster 400/800 combos will get even faster 3k/5k !
all roads seem to lead to 7'18/7'19
( remember though, if komen had been properly rested ( "tired" looking 13-flat just 2/7 before ) & pacer hadn't set off at a ridiculous 57+, he probably wouda gone low-7'19 )
the problem for mo certainly isn't the speed or endurance required - it's geting a pacer to get him thru evenly in 4'52+
rupp woud have to sacrifice himself to do it & act as mo's pacer - i can't see any african being good enough or willing to do it
