Maybe it's because I'm exhausted, but even if he did split 14.41 for 150, the 8.72 makes the splits confusing. That would put the first 50m at 5.69. Isn't that slow for a first 50m and then incredibly fast for the next 50?
5.69
4.19 (9.88)
4.53 (14.41)
5.00 (19.41)
yes, 5.69 is slow for 50m
at his pace, he'd likely cover next 10m in 0.84 - 0.85s, which is 6.53 - 6.54s for 60m which usually converts to ~ 10.06 - 10.08s
he therefore ran the 50 - 100m at pace expected of
(9.88 * 2 ) - 10.06 to 10.08 = 9.68 to 9.70 !!!
& remember, this was into a 0.4 wind, which woud knock another ~ 0.02s off that range
also bear in mind he hasn't done all his speedwork yet ( started off with 400s this year ), so that can get faster !
the key is still to find a start for him - if he does, he definitely can run 9.5 this year
