eh ???
he was an inconsistent trainer & coudn't do 5 push-ups when he joined sal
you seriously think his 3'28 shape doesn't indicate a better athlete for his main 5k/10k ???
drivel
3'28 off 5k/10k training is huge indication he's better at his main events than 2y ago
nonsense
do you have any clue how good is 7'30i ???
& he didn't run it anywhere close to ideal
it's worth about 7'25/7'26 outdoors if perfect race + iaaf/ncaa tables/calculators
if rupp was in 7'25/7'26 shape at worst early this year, how on earth can anyone with possible access to a functioning neurone think the 13'01sb is what was expected from a guy who has run 26'48 to help him hold on ???
nonsense
you way over-estimate increments in short periods
in '11 he was likely high-50
in '13 he was likely high-49
in 2y of solid, brutal training his 400 likely increased by ~ 1s
do not start fantasising about 48s
at this level you fight tooth'n'nail for every tenth over 400, not assign automatic 1 or 2s improvements within weeks
get a clue
these are the ultimate high calibre "machines"
a year of training for an already top-guy offers fractional improvements at 400/800 but manifests as huge at 5k/10k
no
he always had speed ( 1'48 as raw kid )
speed has tightened up slightly but it won't do too much considering all the huge mileage sal has got him to do
he's gone from from 1'48 to high-1'45 ( predictor estimate ) - you think that is jaw-dropping ???
go watch it again
he was pushing mo sideways as much as he coud in funnel
no
he pushed sideways so mo had no room at all in the funnel
it was desperate & rubbish
if this had been a wide track, kennster wouda been dq'ed for the "shoving"
watch the finish here how the thieving kennster "deals" with anyone trying to surge past
look at what kennster is doing soon after last bend finished
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2rHmSKqs2wbernie probably in
low-49/low-1'45/mid-3'28/7'22/12'47 shape
moron
he destroyed a field including geb-12'46-26'51 who coudn't even finish
it was obviously a damn hard environment
geb-12'46-26'51 finished with a 54 in his 12'46
so how poor was mo's finish here if that guy coudn't even last beyond 7k ???
