Mo Farah v Usain Bolt

- Start date

If Mo Farah and Usain Bolt both left their houses at the same time and travelled to David Rudisha at his house, who would get there first? If David Rudisha had gone to the shops, what time would they have to leave in order to both meet him on his way back at the same time? How far would they be from David's house?

On the video you can see just how much Bolt towers over Mo.
A lovely moment though. They both have faces that just naturally seem to radiate happiness into the world.

That's a much better debate. I'd go for Rudisha

i know the smudge is true
I thought this was a 'who would win in a fight' thread
They both look a bit too soft to get into a fight though, maybe they'd need some tequila first.

This. Did you not see him smash The Cube?

I don't watch The Cube but I think I know what it's about... What was the challenge?

He surprisingly won the whole thing (a bit like one of the celebrity guests being the first person to win a million on Who Wants To Be...etc.).

They get a sugar cube. They prefer it that way.
Ah, one of my favourite topics. I've done it here before too 
My last thread on the topic was about 100 lots of 100m plus a single 10,000m. I think we concluded Bakele would win that set of races over Bolt.
But this question is very one sided. When I first used to watch Farah, he was actually primarily a 3000m runner. That's where his speed comes from. Here's Farah's 1500m PB:
Personal best(s)
1,500 m: 3:33.98 (Monaco 2009)
To put that 1500m time into context: the Olympic 1500m was won in 3:34.08. Somehow, I don't think Bolt us going to get anywhere near that!
He doesn't have a recent 800m time. His PB is 1:48, dating from 2003, long before he became the world class athlete he is now. I have no doubt he could beat that time now, probably sustaining a few 52s laps, even. There is no way Bolt could get anywhere close to that either.
The 400m is 50/50 aerobic versus anaerobic. That probably gives it to Bolt. 600m would be 2/3 aerobic to 200m anaerobic. I think even that ratio would mean Bolt would be seriously out of gas long before Farah overtook him,

He became a world class athlete in distance running (and wants to go for longer distances). 800m is not a distance race.

To be fair, that's not the point of this thread, is it?
