Quick Take: Trying to put 12:35.36 in context

How fast is 12:35.36?

It’s 60.43 seconds per lap.

Or 4:03.07 per mile.

Or 7:33.21 for 3,000 meters (a time only five Americans have ever hit). Plus another 2,000 meters.

It’s insanely fast. Yet given the conditions that he ran this in, what If the temperature was 20 or 25 degrees cooler, could Cheptegei possibly break 12:30?” That and, “What can he do for 10,000?” Eight days after Bekele ran his 12:37.35 5000 WR, he ran his 26:17.53 10,000 WR.
