    The marathon.

    Everyone would think I was drugged up for the 100m, wouldn't they?

    You're resorting to speculation instead of facts.

    Seb Coe never ran a marathon at world record pace.

    Possible the nearest equivalent would be Paula Radcliffe who has run 800m in 2:05.2 and a marathon in 2:15:25. Her 800m time is certainly not world class.

    I'll try if everyone else does.

    Even if Chris says 'Yes' this does not make it a fact as Chris would have no firm evidence for his belief. Not that stops some people.

    Bad move XRunner now he'll be slinging mud in Paula's direction because she happens to be an asthmatic and he believes her to be a drug cheat because of the 'benefit' her medication gives her. It also gives him the ability to move the subject away from his non factual based points about Lord Seb.

    The reason I didn't answer the question last night was that I thought it was a pretty pointless question.

    I just wanted to see if Chris could put an argument together, based on his knowledge of the sport.He can't or doesn't want to, so he's irrelevant to this conversation.

    The facts remain Notlob, that we do have firm evidence of Coe's ability. Peter Coe says he ran 45 minutes for 10 miles.He didn't say he ran 9 or 9 1/2 miles in 45 minutes.That is evidence, unless we think his dad's a liar.

    By the same logic, if someone says Gab ran 45mins for 10miles in a race, does that mean he did.Maybe someone's lying, or perhaps they measured the course wrong, you wouldn't know.Evidence isn't just truth, it's falsehoods as well.

    All I'm saying is that it was possible for Coe to do it, based on his fitness at that time.

    Actually, if he did measure it in his car as you suggest, then a real distance of 9.5 miles is quite possible... AIMS reckon cars measure courses at least 5% short.
