All that training and physiological adaptions he has made aren't going away. My guess is that he beats her after 2 years.
Then why was he running in the mid 3:40's in June?
We don't need to imagine how mich he would slow down, we have an example. From low 3:30 shape a year ago, to whatever he was this year (slowing as he got to USAs) and he WAS training.

Yeah, for a second I thought about mentioning the underlying sexism of this topic, but I have to pick my battles.

It's a tough fight out there with all the rampant sexism!
You know what I would love to see? Jenny Simpson crush the OP in a mile. That would be awesome.
One big factor is that Jenny would have to lead the whole thing and try to drop him before the kick. So she has to solo hard from the gun, whereas Centro gets a rabbit the whole way. He doesn't have to be in better shape than her, he just has to be close.

Jenny would drop him after 2 laps. She'd be like those useless rabbits that run too fast, except she'd keep on going. Centro wouldn't be close enough to use his kick.

It's amazing how stupid some of my employees are. Anyone else want to work for us? There is zero chance he could run 4:20 after a year of no running.
Back in the 1920's Paavo Nurmi ran a mile on a sand track in 4 mins 10 secs. I read that Nurmi's training was basically a lot of speed walking which sort of blew my mind. I would have thought that Centro is at least as talented as Nurmi ever was (given the increase of size in the talent pool of track and field sqince the 1920s) so if he was allowed to speed walk then I think he would go faster than 4 mins 20 secs.
3 years if he played basketball on the reg. I was a 407miler who quit after cross season in Novembwr then played basketball til summer. Stepped on track with no training to run 427 mile. Only 20 seconds lost in over 6 months. But anything over a mile I would have been toast. You don't need a huge engine to be a great Miler like you would for a 10k.
