The first sub four was 3:56.0, in 1976.

Performance of the meet. So cool to see how happy Muir was for her afterwards as well, just as Mageean was for Muir at Euros. Class all round from those two

Muir looked tired. I hope Mageean can keep this kind of form up for future European championships!

In commentary they said it was Muir's 18th race this year. She still ran 3:56, not bad

Anyone else going to say it? About a 4 second PR by someone who just turned 30.

It's not as predictable because the runner isn't African.

Interestingly, MaGeean was roasted here ("Who the H*ll is Ciara MaGeean?") because she (in)famously said, after finishing 10th in the Doha Worlds,
"I came tenth in the world and I'm proud of that, I'm happy with that. I want more...
"What do I have to do?
"I can’t make up nine seconds. There’s not nine seconds in me, no matter
what I do. What I do cleanly, there’s not nine seconds in me. That’s
really hard..."160 -
nice race, I knew most of the runners, but not her! Has built more like an 800 runner.

Hasn't had more than a season without injury in the last 10 years. She's a class act. One of the best ways to spot a doper is how the other athletes react to them.. Mageean is clearly loved by her competitors, she's clean as a whistle.
Did the hard miles, stayed the course and her year finally came round, something that might never have happened. Delighted for her!

CG final was electric. You could really see her hunger. For sure at Brussels - Muir tired, Welteji tired, but Ciara's hunger was relentless and she got there.

You’re fast becoming one of the most doltish contributors to this forum, joedirt…

What about Ma's Army? Some of those ladies came out of absolute nowhere to run very low 3:50s when that was total destruction of the WR.

I went from 4.02 to 3.58 in one race
I know loads of guys who, when they went sub-4.00 for the first time, did it by quite a few seconds

The new normal in running. Apparently the biggest improvements come with age now.
