First Real Sub 4 Mile

The first sub 4 was recorded in the middle east in the late 200s BC. There was hella war going on and the soldiers often had to retreat fast as hell. In fact, 27 men broke it. The conquering army had horses and only 29 men on the retreating side survived, 2 ran 4:00.0x. One man actually ran a 3:39 mile, which should be recognized as the world record today.

I\'ve heard this myth. The following is from a website encouraging the teaching of American Indian accomplishments. I don\'t believe it to be true.

Native American people have competed nationally and worldwide as runners. Use the following examples:

1876-Big Hawk, Chief, Pauneo tribe, was the first person to break the 4-minute mile. The U.S. Army measured out the course and timed him twice under four minutes. However, the world would not recognize him and gave Roger Bannister official credit in 1954, 77 years later.

Blah, more ethnic revisionist history, if they aren\'t already, they\'ll probably soon be doing the whole Afrocentric thing, that the ancient Mayans were first to invent everything, from lasers to plastic.
