In response to "The last lap of the 5000M at the US Olympic Trials last night was amazing. -- (link)" by Dano

I couldn't run 62.2 for a first lap, much less for the last lap of a 5K.

31.2 for a 200? Nope

15.6 for 100? Not that either

I think this about pro marathon pace every time I see it. 25% faster than my fastest ever kilometre, 42 times in a row. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 18:23 1
- I saw something like this at the expo for the California International Marathon - JD Jun 25, 18:32 [youtube]
According to Strava my best 400m split in a 5K was 106 seconds. -- nm - Dano Jun 25, 17:39 3
- yeah. my best 400m split is 88 seconds in a 10k. I think I could run a 60-second 400m, but like maybe once, not 12.5 times in a row. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 18:21 2
  - My best is… slower than that. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 25, 18:45 1
    - there should be a best efforts bar in the stats section of your profile. -- nm - mafic Jun 25, 19:19
Somehow my mind couldn't convert 5000 into 5k. - psilotum Jun 25, 16:07 1
- Less than an eighth of a marathon. 3.1 miles. 12.5 laps on a 400 meter track -- nm - JD Jun 25, 16:13
