Thanks for the link. I'll update the time.

Deletewhat about the non-metric distances (e.g., mile, 3 mile, 6 mile)?
ReplyDeleteThings are tough enough already! But I'm all for it. Should we add non-IAAF distances too? Anyone can chime in with submissions. My fact-checkers have all been sacked.

I will be adding the 10 Mile, and other distances shortly. Thanks for the exact 5000 time. James didn't know it at first. I love my fact checkers.

Those 10 mile times aren't legit. Trevira was over 400m short. Where did you get that Arts Festival time? Prehaps a typo 49:37?

Arts Festival time is from a Pa. Mirror story by Dennis Gildea. Includes a quote from Coach Groves that GF was one of 10 guys in the country who could run that course that fast.
ReplyDeleteAnyone who visits here for accurate reporting should be shot on sight! Supposedly top men are on that, too. Don't hold your breath! LTM
ReplyDeleteThe mirth is required. And occasionally accurate info finds its way onto this blog. Reliable fact checkers are hard to come by! Thanks for keeping my feet to the fire.

ReplyDeleteThe 47:37 does have a factual basis – the time reported in the Mirror in 1977 on a “changed” (ahem) course. Given Greg’s history on the course, and the fact that Greg has never been an aggressive front runner, it would be difficult to accept the validity of the 47:37 time on a hilly 10 miler that is known to be about 70-80s slow. That 47:37 would be somewhere equal to a 46:30 mark on a flat course, which if you believe IAAF’s scoring tables, is the equivalent to 13:24/28:06 times on the track. Greg PR’s (13:34/28:03) were both set in races in which he was towed.

All true, but someone should work out a correlation coefficient on Greg's times vs those of other usual suspects, e.g., on the truly brutal 1976 course he beat Charlie by 1:38, and on the merely difficult 1977 course he beat him by 2:42. A variable not considered but not improbable is that Charlie said something to really piss him off in 1977.
