Koman ran like a 27:40 but is was a few years after his peak.For ProsThe 1:45/3:34/12/27:30 list I am guessing is Aoutia only. I don\'t think anyone else had the 800m times. El G may have but he never ran the 800 (or 10k). Morceli would have had a shot but i am unaware of any 10ksThe last list is pretty much going to be the list of all the 13/27 that have run the shorter distances and then ran a marathon. I sort of doubt you can get any legit 800m times on any of them but I am sure both Tergat and Geb could have done them.

1) is going to be way too long of list. Pretty much every sub 3:40 guy is a 1.49x runner and if your a XC runner you can run sub 14. Arkansas probably has 10 guys alone. The only thing that might keep the list down is that a lot of those 800s will be on indoor releays and they might not have run the event outdoors
2)This is going to be a decent list. Sub 1:47 is getting quick which will keep the list down in size but any of the distance based 800ms who can run 1:47 will easily run 3:40.
3) Again this is going to be a huge list. The only thing that keeps it down in size is that some guys don\'t run the 10k. Pretty much every single 13:40 guy in the world can bust out a 29:20 if they ran the event a half dozen times. And most 13:40 guys are going to be with in a couple seconds of 4:00.

Agreed. I propose the following for collegiates.
Sub 1:48. Sub 3:40. Sub 13:30. Sub 28:30.
Anyone who\'s done 3 of those in college gets a nod. If anyone\'s done all 4, they\'re likely the only one.
And that\'s for collegiates only. That\'s not as impressive for pros. For pros, I suggest one of two lists:
sub 1:45, sub 3:34, sub 13, sub 27:30.
sub 1:50, sub 3:37, sub 13, sub 27:00, sub 2:07.
I\'m going to guess that Aouita, Gebrselassie, and Tergat might be the only ones to have done those (if they have). Komen probably could have done the first one as well, but I\'m not aware of him running the 10,000. Wanjiru at his best maybe could have done the second.
