I think she'll dip under 3:50 in Beijing. My thought is that rounds and fatigue are beneficial based on ventolin believing the opposite.

Why has has no one brought this point up?
She's a 1500/5k runner. Look at the length of that race relative to the amount of miles she runs and the time probably spent training each day. 3:50 vs 3-4hrs of work. On that level and for that distance, it is more about being able to move your legs fast enough and not break down. A workout for her is more taxing than that race. It is the same with most 800/1500m runners.
Centro closed that 1500 at US champs in a stupid fast time but could still showboat over the line. Kiprop after his 3:26 continued to walk comfortably and shake hands with everyone. That length of race, on that elite of a level, isnt the same for every other 4:30 runner in this thread.
