So a little while ago I've made a thread about if it was possible to find a runner who could be in sub 11 100m and sub 2:30 min on Marathon shape basically at the same time.
Answers were mostly is that it might be possible, but it would require some kind of genetic freak etc. and incentives aren't there also.
So I'm wondering on a quite shorter distance, but still aerobically intensive : the 5k.
Is it possible to be in sub 11 sec 100m and sub 16 min on 5k shape at the same time ?

It's been a while, but a kid about 10-15 years ago at my alma mater had sick range. He ran a 4:21 mile and a 21.4 200m in the same season. His best event was probably the 400mh.

Anyway, I think he'd have a good shot. But yeah, Coe, Brazier, Johnny Gray would all have good odds.

re: LateRunnerPhil

Otto Peltzer (1:51,6 3:51) ran 10.9 in the 1920s on dirt from self-dug starting holes,

Harbig (46,0 1:46,6) ran 10.6 in the 1930s.

But most of today's 1:43-45 runners will not break 11,0 with a flying start on Mondo or other modern tracks?

Most of the faster ones run sub 48 400m (Kszczot 47.0). They'll run 4 sub 12 hundreds without break but will struggle to break 11.0 flying? Not bloody likely.

Lewandowski has a 10.64 FAT according to Polish wikipedia

Maybe some would have to train a few weeks getting out of the blocks without losing too much. But that most of them are not much faster than I was as very average boy with 100m FAT barely sub 13 sec. is ridiculous. Most will run at least around 12.0 from the blocks and sub 11.5 flying without any special preparation.

re: yes ofc why is this a question

As an 11th grader in high school, Devin raced a 100m kid in practice. It was a runoff for the 4 x 1 team. Devin from a standing start, the 100m kid from blocks. Devin caught him and out leaned him at the line. The 100m kid ran 10.6 FAT that season.

That was said to be wrong, there was a Polish sprinter with a similar name who coincidentally ran exactly that time on the same day. His name was Jakub Lewandowicz.

Lewandowski (mid-d runner) is a 3:31 1500m guy, you simply can't have 10.64 FAT 100m speed (which would be 9.5 flying) AND have the endurance required to run 3:31, that's physically not possible. Sure it looks impressive when he outkicks Ingebrigtsen like he is in a totally different league, but Ingebrigtsen isn't fast-twitch enough to begin with (his best event will probably be the 10k or something in a few years).

Remember when you made an @$$ out of yourself by thinking that you couldn't get a job on Wall Street if you spoke German?

Bilingual isn't very "no english".
