Or making the trials is not a massive achievement. The trials are to select the team not an end in themselves.
I'd say the improvement ​is about 20 seconds for 5,000m as that's how much they suddenly improved by when EPO was introduced.
So that means around a 5 second improvement for the 1500m?
Guys like El Guerrouj and Morcelli then were really good for 3:32/33, if that.
Scary to think that British runners like John Mayock and Anthony Whiteman, who we've almost totally forgotten, were running 3:32 in the 90's, clean.
