Even if it’s technically weaker, I think the 2-mile record just seems more otherworldly. Back to back sub 4s is so easy to understand, yet also so ludicrous.
Add in the fact that Komen did it twice, and no one else came close, and I think it’s the most intimidating record, even if it isn’t the strongest physiologically.
Excellent post.
But, of course, for some crazy reason, Jacob didn't run two consecutive sub-4min miles.
