Why do you constantly post this Renato quote Ventolin? It has nothing to do with what the other guy posted.

Why do you constantly accuse me of being Ventolin? It has nothing to do with what I posted.

I dont constantly accuse you of being Ventolin. This is my first time calling you by your other name, but I have seen others do the same.

I'm not accusing you of being Ventolin. I'm addressing you.

Addressing you in a comment intended for you has everything to do with what you posted.

You didn't respond to the error of yours that I pointed at and decided instead to fail at copying my sentences against me.

Is there anything else that you would like to be wrong about today?

Yes you do.

I don't have another name.

By others you mean yourself.

No, you're not addressing me, you're addressing Ventolin.

I'm not Ventolin.

But you didn't address me. You addressed Ventolin.

You didn't point out any errors I made, you merely made a false claim.

I didn't fail at anything.

This statement implies that something I posted today has been mistaken.

That is not the case.

i'm posting now

i post as no other

check my IP

Mo is a helluva a runner, and he became that way in his late 20s. The hallmarks of a cheater. Anybody with the ability he shows, if it were natural, would have been able to run 3:32 by age 25.

Irony!

Ignoring the fact that Mo has never faced any allegations by a journalist, coach or athlete, could you please provide us with a link to the scientific research that proves that it's impossible for a long distance runner to improve in their late 20s (the peak years for most athletes) and that the cut off point is the age of 25.

I look forward to you providing the link.

Idiot, if you could read with 6th grade comprehension, you'd be cognizant that I did NOT state that a runner CANNOT improve after 25. I stated, and I am MUCH smarter than you, that a 3:28 runner who is clean would have at least run 3:32 by the age of 25.

P.S. You do not understand what the word "ironic" means. Go back to school.

Now you can prove it by putting the word "registered" under your handle.

As for the OP, Farah has not legitimately gone sub 3:30 until he does it on a track where not everyone goes sub 3:30.

kid

how many times do you have to be told ???

explain the "physics" of a track which has lashawn as post-'00 record holder at 44.30 when he ran 43.9 on 2 other tracks in same year ???

explain to universe how a track can be so crap for 400 but "super-fast" for 1500 ???

impress me : register yourself & answer, otherwise it may be a moron posting as you mosta the time...

It is a moron posting as him, i.e. it is the real him, just as it is a moron posting as you, i.e. the real you.

It is very much the case that you made an error. Chopping up my post line by line as a distraction is not going to work.

Now we all know you are Ventolin because this is exactly how he responds to those he disagrees with. Insert "no" after every phrase to make it appear as though several statements have been debunked when, in reality, that many insertions is unnecessary because the statements were all one idea not separate points. It is a foolish tactic Ventolin.

Yes, still besides all of that, your post was mistaken. Canova's quote had little or nothing to do with what the guy poisted. Canova also doesn't know everything.

"reader of forums"

You are clearly a hugely intelligent individual.

Kindly register, as this will hopefully clear up mis-identity with some inepts...

nonsense

"no" is a rejoinder used when appropriate

nonsense

rejoinder required when required

utter drivel

each part of a statement must stand up in it's entirety

if it doesn't, it was a nonsense statement & gets deserved specific critique

no

it is logic

no

he saw him train

he trained cherono who he reckoned was 7'22 / 12'40 at peak in '06 at worst, maybe even 7'50sc

he knows "horse-flesh"

yes

long way from knowing all as does everyone

he didn't think mo was capable of 3'28+ in '13...

1) You referred to yourself as 'moron registered'. You were being ironic with that name, because you're not a moron, right? How witty, the irony is, you're not actually aware that you are in fact a........moron. That my friend, is the true beauty of irony.

2) "I did not sate you cannot improve after 25". Oh really? This is what you said:

Firstly, Farah ran 3:33 before the age of 25. But, since he was a 5k runner, he focused on 5k races and barely ran any 1500m races, so his times never improved. Secondly, your post quite clearly states "by age 25". Ignoring the grammatical mistake in your statement (of which there are many), you've clearly placed a cut off point by placing an age limit of when an athlete should running a certain time.

3) Of course you're smarter than me. Of course....

Geb:

1500i: #2, #5, #11 times

5000: #2, #5, #6 times (former WR first sub 12:50 and 12:45)

10000: #3, #7, #10 times (former WR)

Half: #12 (former WR, first sub 59)

Marathon: #10 (former WR, first sub 2:04)

or

Bekele:

1500: 3:32 outdoor, solid time

5000: #1, #4 (WR holder)

10000: #1, #2, #4, #6 (WR holder)

Marathon: 2:05 debut (#50)

Cross country: 6X WC long, 5X WC short

It's pretty clear that overall Geb has the best range. Compared to Farah he still has better PRs in everything but the 1500 (absolute).

That said, Farah is pretty darn impressive, and it's only a matter of time before he puts up a wicked 5 or 10. I believe he is totally capable. 3:28 and 59:12 in the same year say as much.

Is Farah the only person to go sub 3:30 in the 1500 and sub 27 in the 10k?

The answer is - yes

Thank you! I didn't ask about who could have (or your opinions on mo). I asked who did.

It seems that you suffer from a certain mental disorder mentioned above that involves BEING UNABLE TO ANSWER THE QUESTION. not that you'll answer this question either, libtard, but why would I be on this forum if I'm not Interested in running.

...

So because it was done at a generally fast and competitive meet, it doesn't count.

Got it, another lame excuse to troll and not answer the question.

Please, everyone can persist to try and dodge the question, but Farah is the only one who has achieved the feat the OP asked about.

The answer is simply yes. Nobody else has done it. Only Farah.
