You said it yourself...he did 6:30 pace to start. That doesn't mean he was in "3:24 shape." If he went out say 7 flat, then he might have found that he was in the 305 to 310 shape, and from there, not so bad to get to sub 3.

Well, his finishing time was 3:24, so you can't really call him anything other than a 3:24 guy today.

Clearly he has the dedication to break 3. But anyone can run 6:30 pace for 6 miles. After the first 10k his pace fell off a cliff and it continued till the end of the race.

Are you saying he could have run 3:20 with better pacing, or 3:18? Maybe, but the time is the time is the time. He's got some work to do before he can sneak under 3, but I wish him nothing but the best.

re: BiggerThanMottram

Exactly the same height and weight as me. Body composition looks the same (skinny compared to normal people, not skinny compared to running pros).

I always hear I'm "heavy for a fast runner" - fast being relativ to most hobby joggers here (think 31 flat 10k, way slower than this guy). My guess is that (a) most good runners are way smaller and don't realize how much weight it takes to be 6'2''-6'3'' and (b) as stupid as it sounds, heavy bones.

Hey guys,

First thx for this discussion, gotta love the letsrun spirit!

Just put up a new weigh-in in my Insta-Stories for you haha:

Of course my scale is not calibrated or anything but it should be somewhat accurate. I also do regular body measurements with my nutritionist which show +/- the same results. In case you´re interested, these are my previous numbers taken there (weight & body fat):

- 01.2020: 76,3 (12,8%) / Indoor season with a 3:40 and 7:51

- 12.2019: 77,9 (13,4%)

- 11.2019: 77,9 (12,9%)

I usually have a BMI between 21 and 22 and always was heaver than I looked I guess. My highest weight so far was during summer 2016 with 81,5kg (ran a 3:39 1500m there).

I never did a bone density test but it could be interesting though.

There are quite some runners with similar height who look about the same or even "bigger" and are around 70kg. On me that would already look anorexic I guess but in the end it just comes down to individual body constitution I´d say.

Kejelcha is 1,86m and 58kg according to Wikipedia, not gonna work for me haha :-D

Hope all that info could help a little bit!

Stay safe guys...

PS: I basically put all my main workouts in IG in case anyone could be interested in it!

PPS: Yes, I like candy ;-)
