Jakob for sure would have broken El G's WR tonight had there been a men's 1500m.
People forget that the already super fast Monaco track was relaid during the pandemic. We haven't seen Jakob at his best on it and now maybe never will.
If they bring the men's 1500m next year, he will break 3:25.
Why don't we start a petition to bring back the Monaco men's 1500?

With the same pacing as Silesia I could see 3:26. Needs someone right on him to push him for 3:25.
I will never stop saying "would have RAN" because it sounds much better while still being perfectly intelligible.
The rules of grammar don't really matter, they always end up losing out in the long run to whatever sounds best, and then that becomes the new rule.
It does not sound better.
It sounds like you’re a hillbilly. We learned this in grade school. If you don’t think that, you haven’t been educated well enough, aren’t around people willing to correct you, or have dumb friends and family
I'm old school, so I honestly don't know, but do the wave lights act in the same manner? I mean I'm sure they have an effect, and I'm sure a real person is better, but I have to imagine they make 90% of the difference if you can see the WR right on the floor next to you.

I mean Josh Kerr's coach Danny "Mr. Everything" Mackey did say Josh could run 3:27 in Monaco. Also, Grant Fisher could run 7:24 in Monaco if the pacing was *better*.
Anyways, enough of the coulda woulda shoulda. It either happens or doesn't. Hypotheticals mean jack.
Every verb has two options in the past tense. Such as ate/eaten, spoke/spoken, ran/run, talked/talked, stole/stolen, fell/fallen, walked/walked, drove/driven, etc.
One is for situations that are done and over with. Such as, "When I was in college, I ran the 1500m a lot."
The second option, is for times when something started in the past but is still going on up this day. Such as, "I have run the 1500m three times so far this season (and I plan to keep running it)."
Finally, when something happens to you or is theoretical, you use the second of those two options. Such as, "The race was run as soon as the thunderstorm stopped." Or "I would run a marathon if you pay the entry fee." And of course, because it is theoretical, you always say "I would have run faster if the weather had been cooler."
Just remember, "ran" is a stand-alone past tense verb. Everything else is "run."
I have run many marathons and I plan to do Boston next year.
If you run a marathon, don't forget to hydrate.
I would have run faster if...
The event was run at 9pm.
I had never run the course before today, so I was happy to check it out during my warm-up.
They have never run faster than they did that day at districts.
They could have run faster if they had had Vaporflys instead of old-school flats.
Every single person knows these rules. Nobody says, "If I had ate a bigger breakfast, I wouldn't be so hungry now." Nobody says that. Yet with the verb run, kids keep screwing it up.

Pretty much sums up why the sport is dying when a thread about the stupidity of not having a men's 1500m on the fastest track when there is a hugely marketable guy with the ability to finally erase a 25 year old doped WR, and most of the replies are from grammar nazis.

Thank you-this is the best grammar lesson I’ve seen on Let’sRan..!

Hey Coevett, in your reasoned opinion.
If we had brought the Dictator of World Athletics, Seb Coe. from 1981. To run, train, and compete with today's shoe technology back when he was 1:41 800/3:29 1500 guy. How would he run against Jakob? and Would he be able to break El Guerrouj's WR?
