Taking the races aside (Rupp's was much better) who's workout was more impressive. I know Rupp had much more of a workout but his 4:15.6 1600 average is not even close to a 1:47.9 or 1:49.3. Those times are equivalent to 3:56.1 and 3:59.2 for 1600 using age grading. I'd still go with Rupp's because his race was much more demanding and he had that 4:01 at the end. Thoughts?
They're both impressive in their own rights, but given that Galen ran a new American Record(!) in the 2 mile beforehand, and his last mile rep time, I'd have to give it to Galen. Not taking anything away from Centro, but after a two mile american record, 4xmile at 4:20 pace, closing close to 4 minutes is insane[quote]JackDunlopTheRunner wrote:
Rupp: 2M (8:07(?)), full rest, 5xmile at 4:15 (on what rest?) with last one in 4:01.
His 2M was an American record, while the 5xmile workout was a 10k race simulator with hard last mile.
Centro: 3x800 on full rest in 1:47, 1:49, 1:47. That is a killer workout.
There is no comparison between the two, because they involve very different systems. Centro ran 3x800 at close to 1k pace, while Rupp ran 2M at 2M pace and mile repeats at 10k pace, except the last one just ahead of 5k pace.
I think this is a good debate. I'm going with Centro on this one.
What is his potential at 800 right now? 1:44?
When I was a 1:58 guy, I don't think I could muster up 3 2:01-2:03 800s for a workout.
Out of curiosity what could Rupp run for an all out mile based on that workout?

I don't remember the time frames exactly, but he did run 3:50i, so I'd say around that.

His mile was 1 year before (almost to the day). Still probably a pretty good estimate.
