FYI, Trautmann's time bettered the WR for a U-50 and age 46 athlete. American Brad Barton held the mark at 4:16.83 from 2013.
It's also better than the 1500 record's equivalent of 3:57.91 (Tony Young).
His indoor mark is also better than the age 46 and U-50 outdoor WR of 4:16.09 by Tony Young (United States 12.04.62).
Tratumann does have some if he's going go get the outdoor 1500 mark. Spain's Jesus Borrego holds that at 3:52.43.,
Let's stop comparing indoor times to the outdoor times. If you know how a track is measured, you know that the closer you can run to the rail the more meters you cut off with 8 laps as opposed to 4 (in the case of a mile/1500).
Also, indoor tracks are devoid of wind and now typically have banked turns. No outdoor tracks have this. Rupp is a good example of how indoor tracks are super fast: mature athlete, been running for over 10 years ...
indoor 1500 - 3:34.78+(split) - outdoor 1500m - 3:34.15
indoor mile - 3:50.92 - outdoor mile - 3:52.11
indoor 3000m - 7:30.16 - outdoor 3k - 7:43.24
indoor 5000m - 13:01.26 - outdoor 5k - 12:58.90
I think what you were trying to say in the last sentence is:
"Trautmann does have some WORK TO DO if he's going to get the outdoor 1500 mark. Spain's Jesus Borrego holds that at 3:52.43."
But you are wrong. 3:52.43 is equivalent to 4:11.00 for the Mile.
Not trying to be a jerk to you ... but that is a pretty well-known conversion? As in we all knew in HS that a 4:10 1500 (common) was equal to a 4:30.0 mile and 4:28.+ 1600m.
Just remember that 3:42.2 = 4:00.0y ... or an 18 second differential at that speed.
