7:56 3k equates to a 13:56, you could drop a couple seconds bc it was indoors but still... You don't go from 13:56 shape to 13:25 in 2 months, especially as hs senior.
The 8:03 + 10x400 @ 3k pace was most likely a TT with a moderate workout after.
Isn't it more believable for a young person to rapidly improve in a short time period? This 13:56 to. 13:25 indoor to outdoors doesn't sound that unbelievable to me honestly. Certainly as believable as Webb improving 3:59- 3:53.

The performance calculators I used, show a equivalent of 13:40ish.

True. Buth this is a 17 year old who ran that indoor several months ago. Normal maturation and improvement and increased fitness have him ready for 13:15.

OK... even more believable. 13:25 seems like a believable but very difficult/stretch performance for the youngster.

I feel about 10 years older due to saying that.

I don't care. Easton Allred (GOAT) time trialed 8:58 at altitude. Performance of the decade.

I agree with this I think Allred and Leo have a really good chance of being really good. Allred was out for a while year basically and came back this year placed 22nd at nxn and ran a 4:05 mile and I think he could have ran faster if he did not get cut off.

re: not his coach

Just saw that he did this workout at the end of April or beginning of May. Doing hero workouts like this wouldn't be consistent with a long career, but they are things to prepare him for races about ten days later. In this case, there was no such race. To go 13:20s, he'd need to get in a race with collegians or pros. I don't know where such a thing would take place. He can't keep that intensity going. Maybe he's bagging it and training for xc at this point. In any case, he was clearly in shape to run 13:25-30.

The other point was just that it's fine to do the occasional workout like this when there's no season, and hence, no races. That was probably his biggest effort of the year, even greater than the 7:56.97 race.
