I've run quite a bit faster than her in the 10,000 and I haven't run under 2:10. You have to be sub 29 10k to run under 2:10, really you should probably be more like a 28:00 flat runner in the 10,000. But I could see her running 2:14 or 2:15 if the stars align for her. I know multiple guys with sub 29 who haven't run better than 2:14 so I don't see Hassan doing it either.
Interesting point. Do you think the times of a sub elite man and one of the greatest woman to ever run correlate across distances? I could see the answer being yes, because times are times, or no, but going either way. Even at the same 10K time as Hassan you could argue you are physically stronger and more likely to out perform her as the distance increases, or maybe the opposite is true and as the Goat she can go far sleeper into the well than you can ever hope to approach and out perform you over a longer distance?
