Considering Hasay posted up that 4:28 she's shown she has the speed and with her endurance things are looking good for her, HOWEVER Grunewald's PR over 3,000 meters being in the 8:30's is dangerous with it being so close to the race distance. Who are we picking to win this?
4:28 does not indicate speed - GG for the win
Yes, but it depends on the runner... If we're running a 5k, and you come from a 10k background, an okay 1500m can be all you need for a fast 5k which is Hasay's case. Look at Ben True, he only ran a 3:42 1500m before his 13:14, then 13:11 later that summer. 4:28 doesn't indicate "speed", but it might be enough speed under Hasay's belt for her to beat Grunewald...
