That is 17 seconds per 100 meters, 422 times in a row.

Most Americans could not hold that pace for 10 seconds.

This is just breathtaking. The discipline and focus...

17.27 for the 100 or 69 for each 400M.

I could, but at 400m I'd be out of breath and spent and have to stop and pass out on the side of the road. Truly amazing.

I have my dvr set to record it tonight. Wish I could have watched it live.

I probably could only hang onto that pace for 400 meters as well. Then throw up.

Amazing!

unfathomably fast pace
I checked the old merv's running calculator for equivalencies and this would "beat" all other world distance records

2 mile world record is 7:58 by Daniel Komen, this equates to a 7:45

5K record is 12:37 by Kenensia Bekele (who is still running) and the equivalent is 12:24 (a 3:59.8 mile pace)

10K, 10 mile, half marathon same deal

This is Bob Beamon's long jump (at 1968 Olympics when he jumped a foot and a half longer than anyone else ever had)

How far was that marathon tho?

He's also 33 and 10 months, which means he gets 18 seconds off on age-grading.

His AG marathon was 2:01:19.

3 months older than I am. That means I still have a chance!!
