I don't see him having a massive kick. Given his 1:13 and 2:48 half/marathon times and his recent 26:00ish 8k, I think he'll run close to an even paced 3:59ish.
He ran low 26 for 8k last month on a pancake flat course but on a very windy day. Considering 1500 is naturally his strongest event I would say low 4:00-4:05 if he runs well.
You see what happens when a runner goes off the dope. This man has been reduced to where people aren’t sure who would win between him and Athing Mu at 1500m. Rekrunner should be taking notes on this one.
He is 40 or close to it. Not bad!!! A solid kick he is running a 4:28 mile.
48 for 300m then 66.5, 70, 68. Went out in maybe 65? A little ambitious I guess. I think he could run about 6-8 seconds faster in another week now that he has an idea what to expect.

That's not how conversions from 1500 to 1 mile work. When he ran the 1500, he already used his kick. So you can't say if it was a full mile, he would have kicked hard on top of what he already did. Plus, he's not covering 109 meters in 14.5 seconds anyway.
26 flat for 8k would predict much better than 4:20 for the American mile record holder even fifteen years after his best, so I'll change my prediction to 4:05.
