Watching three of his 800 races this summer, he went out
quite fast- 51ish,
and the last 150 meters when he realized he was 'out of it',
he just jogged the final straightaway.
He was trying to be competitive with a 1:45.
Jogging the final straightaway, he finished around 1:51.
That tells me that he was fully capable of a 1:47, had he
gone out at a more sane pace and pushed it all the way
to the finish line.
Would therefore destroy the Masters record by over 3 seconds.
And a 1:47 800 should equate very closely to being able to
turn a 47+ second 400m. He wouldn't destroy the 400 record,
but might be able to nip it.
The mile might need work, but I could see him getting
down to 4:01 this year.
