Mo Farah v Usan Bolt (Merged Thread)

[Greg Bobkin]

I think people misjudge how quick Mo Farah's average running pace is. Bolt runs 400m in 44s flat out
.

Mo ran a 53 second lap at the end of TEN THOUSAND metres. Only 9 seconds slower over a whole lap after that distance.

I think Mo would win as, to save energy, Bolt could never run anywhere near his full speed.

That's my view on it anyway. I imagine I'll be completely wrong!

This.

This.

Anything upwards of 600m and Farah would destroy him.

And this too.

Mo would be doing training runs of 100/200m in probably not much less than Usain, so I don't reckon that there would be much of a lead. I don't reckon Bolt would go off anything like as quick as he does in his races because he just wouldn't be able to maintain the speed through 600 or more.

To be honest, I reckon it would be Farah, because he has the experience of training for all distances, whereas I'm guessing Bolt doesn't do much more than 600/800m max in one hit. I could, of course, be very wrong...

Bolt would win if he was tactical. If he sat on Mo's shoulder for 400-500m he'd beat him for speed over the last 100m

If he goes off like a 400m race he'd be in trouble.

Take Harry AA for example he did a 400m earlier this year and came thought in 54sec. He's amazing over 60m then dies. Even showed that in the 100m B race on Friday where Gemilli pipped him!

That assumes that after 500m chasing Farah, he wasn't on his knees.

This would be such fun to watch! I'd go for Bolt at 600m (just); anything over that (even 700m), Mo would destroy him.

About that I recon.

Using that logic Bolt could beat anyone from any distance of 100m and upwards including the marathon...

Bolt vs Farrah

Started as a bit of a joke between them and now looks like it could happen.
Over 600m i'd say Mo would win but only just. Who would your money be on?

Sorry Rowley I started this tread a couple of days ago.

They should do it along the Mall. I'm quite excited about this.

Better yet, Madeira Drive.

FAIL
O.k then, who would win out of Keith Chegwin and Paul Daniels?

Think Farah would do it by 10-20m, but tactics very important as already mentioned.

Would like to see Mo v David Rudisha over 1100m. Endless combinations!
