It is certainly impressive, but look up what Kennedy used to do for the 4-3-2-1 type workout. It was less than 30 laps, but it started with a 3:57-58 type 1600.

Kennedy did not do 3:57-58 for the 1600 in that workout. It was Daniel Komen.
Someone should tell Kennedy that. Here's what he said in an interview in 2000:
"Last year we did a session and it was 1600, 1200, 800, and 400, with 3 minutes between each interval, and it was myself, Daniel Komen, and Paul Koech, and the other top guys. And these are my times: I ran 3:57, 2:56, 1:55, and 55. And I was kind of in the middle of the pack. Komen ran about 3:54, 2:53, 1:54, and 55. Not many people would ever conceive of training at that speed."
