A couple of women have run 47 second quarters. A woman has run a 10:49 100m. A couple of women have run sub 2:20 marathons. One woman has even run 2:15 for the marathon. Women can sprint well. They can run long distance well. Why are they so slow at the 1500m/mile? Even juiced to the gills their times are slow. The world record is 3:51 for the 1500m. With today's better drug testing, the best struggle to break 4 minutes. The best women in the world could not win a decent school boy's 1500m race. Talk of a woman running a sub 4 minute mile is absurd. Women's times are getting slower. A sub 4 minute miler has to be able to run the 800m in 1:50 and 3000m in 8:00. The women's records are not too far from these times (1:53 and 8:06). Why can't women run a decent mile?
