That is 17 seconds per 100 meters, 422 times in a row.

Most Americans could not hold that pace for 10 seconds.

17.27 for the 100 or 69 for each 400M.

I could, but at 400m I’d be out of breath and spent and have to stop and pass out on the side of the road. Truly amazing.

 :e)  I probably could only hang onto that pace for 400 meters as well.  Then  throw up. 
If you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much room.

unfathomably fast pace
I checked the old merv's running calculator for equivalencies and this would "beat" all other world distance records

2 mile world record is 7:58 by Daniel Komen, this equates to a 7:45

5K record is 12:37 by Kenensia Bekele (who is still running) and the equivalent is 12:24 (a 3:59.8 mile pace)

10K, 10 mile, half marathon same deal

This is Bob Beamon's long jump (at 1968 Olympics when he jumped a foot and a half longer than anyone else ever had)

I'll stick to running, thank you.

He's also 33 and 10 months, which means he gets 18 seconds off on age-grading. :) His AG marathon was 2:01:19.
