from 3'28 for 1500, now 2'06 in the marathon.
Surely Bekele (3'32), Kipchoge (3'33), and Geb (3'33) are all in the conversation, but Farah has run quicker than all of them at 1500m.
I think if Farah can get to 2'04 he undisputedly has it, but not quite yet.
the 328 could be a 327 if he had someone to draft off.
the 206 is a 204 rating, going out in an even 62 half.
really the opening half if it was even paced could have been 60 low, with 8 guys in the race.
this means the WR can be 201 high 202 low for sure.
and this means with the right PEDS can bring the 200 hour marathon.
it is a reality now, 13:40x 5 k opener, previously of science fiction only, now is the reality.
