Duncan 23 Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Mo Farah just ran a 3:28.8 1500m to break the British and European record, as well as putting him 6th on the all-time list Was this his first 1500m? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingObv 10,639 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 Was this his first 1500m?Nah, but it's his first in a while - since he's been at his best.His time was actually better than his 5k. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKingObv 10,639 Posted July 19, 2013 Author Share Posted July 19, 2013 6th on all time list is absolutely incredibleConsidering he doesn't even train specifically for it it's amazing. Obviously some training overlaps, but that's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKingObv 10,639 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 Bolt v Farah? Talk of this possibly happening in a race between 400m-800m. 600m seems the most likely distance,I reckon Farah takes down 600m pretty easily, while Bolt wins 500m by a similar amount. Should go for 550m, and we'd be in for a good watch.Watched some muppet journalist ask Bolt if he'd do it at 1500m Also, if Farah wins the Marathon next year, he might actually be the most incredible long distance runner ever.

TheKingObv 10,639 Posted July 30, 2013 Author Share Posted July 30, 2013 You can get Farah at 2/7 to win an 800m on skybet. If that does go ahead (and is taken relatively seriously) they are ridiculous odds.I'd put all my money on Farah winning an 800m race, literally. As if Usain Bolt could run a sub 1:47 800m Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing it when in second is very risky, nevermind when you know you're in third Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKingObv 10,639 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 If Dasaolu had proper training behind him I reckon he'd have a great chance at a medal. Still could but it's unlikely given his last 30m in the semi. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKingObv 10,639 Posted August 11, 2013 Author Share Posted August 11, 2013 Hopefully Gatlin can save athletics tonight.What's with the commentators repeatedly saying he's never had the greatest start? He's the double indoor 60m world champion in 2003 then 2012. His start is one of his main attributes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either of them.He admitted himself that he's been lacking motivation and the more he wins I doubt that will change.Maybe he could break the 200m. No chance with the 100m.It's hard to see his 100m record being broken (by a clean athlete) any time in the next couple of decades. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
