shockingly, it appears Henry ran a 13'08 ( his WR was 13'06 ) in this blubberous condition the day before he ran 13'24 in moorcroft's 13-flat wr !!! :

it wouda been hugely better if Henry had skipped stockholm for only oslo or moorcroft skipped oslo for stockhom as we wouda had a real race !!!
let's see what lipo-sucking 5 or 10 pounds off 155 & 150 respectively wouda been for 13'08 :
for 5lb off 155 :
13'08 * ( 150/155 )^3 =
12'59 !
for 10lb off 150 :
13'08 * ( 140/150 )^3 =
12'50 !!!
he clearly was in < 13 shape in even '82 if not for the blubber if he had had it lipo-sucked off day before stockholm
obviously more interesting wouda been if Henry-blubber & moorcroft had been running in same race rested
of course moorcroft wins but it wouda been a close effort as it seems all the top guys : Henry, koech, wessinghage, salazar were in the stockholm race day before oslo
moorcroft's wr was great but it was hugely skewed as he ran it day after the main 5k race in those 2 days was obviously stockholm !!!
