My guess is 1:41. I think Rudisha could have ran 50.5-50.5 at his peak.
If it goes to 200m even splits, maybe 1:44? That's 26s the whole way.

Is this a trick question?
Even split WR is the current WR divided by the number of splits you want to measure.

You think it's possible for elite athletes to match their times when they even split races? That's physiologically really hard to do, and in some cases impossible. Almost no one benefits from even splitting--see:Nick Symmonds. His best race he had to go out fast the first lap like everyone else.

Why the f#ck do you think Rudisha could even split almost precisely the time he ran with the race plan he and his coach built over years of racing?

I think you mean psychologically hard to do. Physiologically, even splitting is the easiest and fastest way to race. Rudisha would maybe have run 1:39 if he ran even splits.
David Wottle did it in the 1972 Olympics....he ran virtually equal splits
Watch the race on Youtube it's a classic in terms of strategy.
