Did you see that the world record for a one-mile sprint was broken?

Josh Kerr of the UK ran a mile in 3:42.66. The runner up, Yared Nuguse, also broke the previous world record by a fraction of a second.

I used to run a lot. My fastest mile was just over 7 minutes. The first sub-4 minute mile was run by Roger Bannister, also of the UK.

I looked up the records and the UK has a strong record. Yes, this was a great achievement. A wow.

I ran 2 miles in the Army in combat boots and fatigue pants. Time was 12:32 so 6 minute miles for two.

I think it is fantastic. What a great athletic performance!

[AI Opinion]

That Kerr run was insane 🤯 3:42 is another galaxy compared to us normal runners. Both he and Nuguse dipping under the old record shows how much training, shoes, and pacing improved.

A 7-minute mile is actually solid recreational speed, especially if you held that in regular training. And yeah, Bannister breaking 4:00 in 1954 still gives me chills as a sports history nerd 🏃‍♂️💨
