to ascertain merit of 600s, you can apply logarithm method to a whole number multiple distance if it exists
600m times can have a relationship to 3000m which is a whole multiple, an odd multiple
squaring it is also odd number
-> any odd whole number for 600m shoud have an equivalent 3k time which is an even whole number
after trial'n'error, i get
1'13.00 = 7'22.00
applying elsewhere, i get relationship between 800 & 3k as
1'42.00 = 7'21.50
->
1'13.00 = 1'42.13
also Johnny's 1'12.81 = 1'41.88
someone can work out Saruni's 1'14.79 as an equivalent for an 800 & see where that places him on the indoor list...
Almost fell off my chair laughing at this
Equating the 600m and 800m to made up 3000m times, why?!
idiot
stay out of math/scientific topics way beyond your ameobic level
you offer absolutely nothing but knuckle-dragging unbelievable ignorance
anyone with a decent brain woud understand
100 can be related to 200
200 can be related to 400
400 can be related to 800
800 can be related to 1600
1k can be related to 2k
1500 can be related to 3k
5k can be related to 10k
basic double distance equivalents
we have related :
100, 200, 400, 800, 1600
we have related:
1k, 2k
we have related :
1500, 3k
we have related :
5k, 10k
however, anyone with a brain woud realise that the relationship distance doesn't have to be just doubling but trebling, quadrupling, etc as long as the number is a whole number
Rono ran 3k & 10k records in same year which is more than trebling, so real athletes have shown different distance relationships can work & i'm hugely sure Henry woud want to know which of his 7'32 or 27'22WRs was "stronger"
logical thinking then leads us to know 3k is trebling of 1k, -> 1k & 3k are related
we therefore can relate 1k, 2k, 3k
but we know we can relate 3k to 1500
-> 1k, 1500, 2k, 3k can be related
for 800, we don't have any multiple available, however, we do have multiple of 5 between 400 & 2k
-> 400, 2k can be related
as we can relate 400 & 800
-> 400, 800, 2k can be related
as we know 2k is double of 1k, we can further expand the relationships to :
400, 800, 1k, 2k
add in related 1k & 3k of trebling & 1500 with 3k, we can also insert the 1500 from it's 3k relationship
-> 400, 800, 1k, 1500, 2k, 3k can be related
next step is that is that 5k is a multiple of 1k so we can relate 5k to 1k & also 10k which is ten-time multiple of 1k
-> 400, 800, 1k, 1500, 2k, 3k, 5k, 10k can be related
last step is the 600
fortunately, we can relate it to 3k which is multiple of 5k
-> 600 is related to 3k
we therefore can get inter-related links between all interesting metric race distances
100
200
400
800
1k
1500
2k
3k
5k
10k
can all be related, albeit 200 needs a "tweak" as it is not symmetrical run with 1 bend, 1 straight but indoors is with 2 straight/2 bends, so 200/400 shoud be related to an indoor 200 converted to outdoor, which IMO 20.00 indoors = ~ 19.75 outdoors & 20.00 outdoors is worth 44.50 outdoors instead of expected 44.00
from math, the equivalents for 10.00 :
10.00
20.00
44.50
1'13.65
1'43.00
3'29.63
4'47.50
7'25.25
12'46.75
26'29.50
