anyone know what webb's 346.91 mile today converts to for the 1500? is it better than his 330.54 1500? also what did webb pass through the 400, 800, 1320, and 1500 in ? thankyou

By my calculation 3:31.28 for 1500 meters.Comment

The correct answer is 3:30.10.
3:46.91/1.08=3:30.10Comment

There is NO WAY to accurately convert the time as an athlete would start their kick sooner for the finish in a 1500m.
Why do you people persist in fooling yourselves that times can be converted?
Silly rabbits...

uh well, literally speaking it's not an actual "conversion", otherwise a simple dumb 3'46"91*1500/1609.344 (=3'31"493 by the way) will do the trick, what people refer to as a conversion in middle distance is actually an "equivalent" time over the other distance.
It's like saying 1'43"75 at 800 is "equivalent" to 3'31"00 at 1500 (making up numbers here), only the 1500 and the mile are very close to each other so it almost look like a proportion.
That's what scoring tables attempt to do anyway.
In any case the consistently reliable [1/1.08]factor gives 3'30"10, which looks about right.Comment

Accurately: no. Approximately yes. It certainly deserves to be seen as superior to his 1500 PR.Originally posted by Kurt FrancisComment

how about: what was his time at 1500 meters during his record-setting run? seems like he took that last lap about as hard as he could. might have gone by the 1500m mark in a pr, no? any way of calculating this?Comment
-
few points :
- it was a low key meet - i hope there was epo testing after, or he won't get the record
- very impressed with splits : usually 3rd lap is slow at 58, but he went thru in 56+ : you have to have fantastic strength to do that
as for conversions
3'46.91 with 1.08 = 3'30.11
however, you get different ones with different current 800 ability :
1'45.50 -> 3'30.12
1'45.00 -> 3'30.02
1'44.50 -> 3'29.93
1'44.00 -> 3'29.83
1'41.73 -> 3'29.40 :P
give him 3'30-flat & if he ran it with no competition, then certainly down to mid-3'29Comment

the best line of fit i get for webb currently is off ~ 48.75 / 1'45
-> ~ 2'14.3, 3'29.7, 3'46.5, 4'47.3, 7'27.4, 13'00.2, 27'34.2
webb is starting to turn out predicted times "like a machine", which few apart from komen, el g, geb, kennster & paula have done
i do expect a big time below 7'30 soon & a 5k of ~ 13-flatComment
-
Noticed on the Flotrack video that there were (hand?) timers at the 1500m mark.
Eldrick, I would expect Webb to drop his 800 best in the next month, before Worlds.Comment

No chance of a 1500 pr en route. Probably about 3.31.5 -3.32.5. El G and Morceli finished in 14.7-15.2 in faster races. Webb wasn't dying in last 50 of race which would indicate slowing down.Originally posted by orionComment

the permutations are literally endless - i have no idea of his current open 400 ability, but probably around mid/high-48 & combine that with perhaps 1'44.50 - 1'45.00, i coud be here all day !Originally posted by Bruce KritzlerComment

Re: what does webb's 346.91 mile convert to in 1500?
3:46.91 for the mile is equivalent to 3:30.16 for 1500m and more importantly for tafnut and his ilk, 3:45.59 for 1600m. :POriginally posted by doug091463Comment
