How hard would it be for a man to beat every womans world record from 800m to marathon?

From start to finish.

First 800m in 1:53 is really it a big deal for a top world class runner

Then he would get to relax a little and split 3:49 for 1500m

After that point, it gets progressively easier He would then need to run a 3000m pace of 8:34 for the next 1500m to beat the mile and 3000m world records. Then he could just cruise 3min kilometres for the next 7 kilometres. Then he could slow down even more.

Pretty easy

The real question is. Could Caster do that if she trained for it?

I doubt he could run a 5000 that well, though maybe the sprints.

The 800 is probably his best event.

Ashton Easton Vs. 'Women's' World Record

100M 10.21* 100M 10.49

200M 20.76* 200M 21.34

400M 45.00* 400M 47.60

1500M 4:14.48 1500M 3:50.07*

High Jump 2.11* High Jump 2.09

Pole Vault 5.40* Pole Vault 5.06

Long Jump 8.23* Long Jump 7.52

Shot Put(7.26kg) 15.40 Shot Put(4kg) 22.63*

Discus(2kg) 47.36 Discus(1kg) 76.80

400M Hurdles 48.69* 400M Hurdles 52.34

Ashton beats the Women's record in 7 of 10 Events.

In the 3 he hasn't, the Shot Put and Discus, weigh almost/twice as much as the women's. Though to be fair those are his weakest events, he doesn't come even close to the Men's WR in those events.

His 1500 PR is quite weak compared to the ladies as well. For example Jordan Hasay has run almost 7 seconds faster.

Take someone like Seb Coe, build lots of muscle and only do speed work at the start of their career, run 10.4. Lose the muscle, put in huge volume and marathon specific training, run 2:15 10 years later. Hard? Yes. Impossible? No.

Hahahaha

Seb Coe. 10.4?

Hahahhaahhaaha hahahaha wow

Even 2:15 would be a stretch.

He could run 11 flat off 800m training @ 59kg. Add 15kg of muscle and only do 100m specific training and taking half a second off that doesn't really seem that crazy

The frequency of threads like this one (~"how much more awesome are men than women?") really kills the Letsrun forum vibe for me.

That's your own fault. This thread has nothing to do with judging women. This thread is more similar to the "How many Olympic A standards could Ashton Eaton get?" or "How many Olympic A standards could Rudisha get?" threads. Has nothing to do with women. You sound like a ridiculous social justice warrior.

You make a fair point with the "How many Olympic A standards could Ashton Easton get" example, but to claim that a thread pertaining to women's world records has nothing to do with women is rather guileful. I'm not a ridiculous social justice warrior. Just a female hobby jogger who can hold her own against plenty of male hobby joggers, realizing how crappy it feels to keep seeing threads like this. I know it's not about me, and it's possible that I'm projecting a sentiment that isn't actually present, but the overtones in these threads feel unnecessarily scornful at times. That's all.

I beg to differ...

No, it is not "guileful". This thread has nothing to do with women. It is about womens' records. There are no "overtones". There is no scorn. You are a ridiculous social justice warrior.

Hahahhaahhaaha!

You are literally the stupidest person to ever post on here!!!

Nowhere have I seen evidence of an 11 flat FAT 100m from Coe, and taking HALF A SECOND off his ONE HUNDRED time seems easy to you?!?!

Usain Bolt didn't even take half a second off his 100m time after switching from the 200/400 across his whole career!

You should never post here again. 10.49 for Coe haaahahhaa

Actually yes it does wrote:

No, you are the idiot if you think it does. Just because the word "women" is there does not mean it has to do with women themselves. Learn some basic reading comprehension. I thought this question and at no point were my thoughts judgmental of women. My thoughts were "can a guy run xx while also being able to run yy time".

+1

These threads allow the lonely Letsrun users to sleep at night. They don't need women anyway.

Actually it is you who's the ridiculous gay man who thinks he's a woman.

No, a guy cannot run XX, because guys are guys and women are woman.

If you want to compare times then just do that, and leave your stupid sexist opinions out of it.

Allowing for a few minutes to work out splits and pacing, and allowing for "en route" records, some males could break the 800-10,000 records in the same race.

Already happened in a few 10ks.

Coe 10.4. That's a good one. If Coe could get to 10.4 he could get to 20.8. Ridiculous.

Rupp never ran the steeple
