If its an 8:00 heat he will be ok through 2000 at 64 and then slowly die the back but might run close to 8:12 if he kicks hard the last 300. If its worth it too him.

8:08
8:22
A.J. will run 16 seconds faster than Symmonds
To get equal action out of the Lets Run gang I'd put the o/u line at 8;27 in real life about 8:32

He's too big. blocky and short legged for any distance over a mile. After 2000 meters of 61 400 meter pace he will feel it. If he doesn't totally fall apart and runs hard the whole race he will run around 8:15-18. Only if he guts it out at the last 800 to try to beat whoever would be dead last if he dropped out.
You're definitely right that he would blow up after a 2k in 5:05. Good thing no one is going to be running that fast at this meet...that's 7:38 pace.

Symmonds obviously has huge amounts of talent. But he wont run that fast at this meet:
1. He's an 800m runner
2. He doesn't care as much about indoors/never runs well indoors
3. His strength does not translate great from 800 to 1500. 3k will probably just be worse.
4. He is not training for a 3k. He is using it as a strength builder to help him bump up to the 1500m.
5. He's going to go out very conservative. He does it in 800's and will be even more inclined to do it in a longer, less familiar race
Its tough to guess, but I will put him at 8:20
Right on point.
Result-8:20 DFL in his heat.

He'll go sub 8. This is a 1:42.95/3:34 guy who does weekly 25 minute 5M tempos in the offseason. But I'm not going to predict anything insane like low 7:40s. I'd guess more like 7:55-58 first time out.
God, you are a dummie, aren't you?
Can we all agree that jjjjj it the dumbest poster ever to droll on this website?

If everyone else in the heat is over 8:00, then that definitely decreases the odds of a sub 8 for Symmonds, but I would still think that he'd drop a quick last quarter to win by a lot and go sub 8.
lololololololololololol jjjjj you are the worst poster ever.
