I'd buy that if you think he will pull a Bubka which, in that case, he would run 19:19. He ran 19:20 a lot of months, training and pounds ago. Tom Derderian wrote: 19:25 On Mar 29, 2007, at 11:37 PM, B. Kunnath wrote: Rono posts regularly here:

I'd go to see him run if it was within 300 miles. My wife and I were among the roughly 200 fans present when he broke the WR in the steeplechase at the Northwest Relays in Seattle on May 13, 1978 with a 8:05.4 (h). After that I saw him race several more times, including the great 10,000m duel

It was some time well after that that I found Henry Rono at the mile mark of the Riverside 5 miler in MA at 4:50. He had a big spare tire of fat blubbering up and down with each step. He stayed just ahead of me all the way for the 25 minutes. I wonder what his absolute VO2 max was! Tom On
