will a woman ever break the 4 minute mile?

There would need to better pork burrito’s.

Will a man break 3:31 in the mile?

Very soon my dear very soon. "I have a young boy who already broke 4 who just needs to take the next step and befriend Dylan."

With super shoes technology anything is possible. We already have springs, why not wheels?

Dibaba is suspicious due to her coach (to put it lightly), but she allegedly did 4x1500 in 4:06, 4:05, 4:03, 4:02 and 6x800 in 2:02, 2:03, 2:04, 2:04, 2:04, and 1:58.

If there were someone even more talented than her, training like Jakob as a child and in even better spike technology, you'd think there could be a low 4:0x one.

sorry for not being more specific in my post:

"will a CHEMICALLY CLEAN and PENIS-LACKING woman ever break the 4 minute mile?"

Yes. First, the 4:12 mile record is greatly inferior to the 3:50 1500m record, so you can already see that someone has run about 4:08.4 (1.08x conversion) and so it would require an 8.5 second drop to do it. That is doable. The women's 800m record is 1:53.28, and the future sub-4 woman would likely be more of a 1:54 athlete, so it would be very challenging, but we see Jakob run 3:46 (1:53 880y) off of a 1:46-47 800 pr, so a 6-7 second slowdown from 800 to 880(in a mile) is possible.

Second, the physiological advantages that men have can be gained to some degree by women in various ways, both natural and unnatural, without any new inventions or training techniques. You might have a woman on the high side of the T-limits required to do this, and of course doping was very likely not only in the women's 800m record but also the 1500m record.

Third, sub-3:50 could happen this year with Faith Kipyegon with her perfect form.

Unfair comparison, you only need a really dedicated trans woman or a ciswoman with turbocharged test ovaries to mesh hard work with natural gifts to break 4, which both are more likely than a man who can hit 52.5 pace for 3.5 minutes

I wanted to add that for purposes of demonstration, like in Kipchoge's 1:59:40/2:00:26, you might get a sub-4 women's mile by using male pacers. The lack of a female pacer to take women to a sub-3:50 so far is the key reason it has not happened. No female has gone at that pace for more than 800m in any of these attempts, to my knowledge.

No female pacer.

Tuohy twice

If you ask Astro or Semihaze, KT will do so come 2026 if she stays healthy

What about a chemically castrated woman? And on that note, why do so many women like to keep their dicks? If they were born with "the wrong body", it seems like a relatively straightforward procedure to be a large step towards fixing their issue.

What is a woman?

I believe that it has already been done

Ever? Of course. Since 1921 when the women’s WR was 6:13, we’ve come a long way in a century to 4:12, and most reasonable curve-fits on that data would suggest we have many more seconds of improvement left to bridge in the next century.

I assume it would take an ivf birth, two ex wr holders essentially act as a concubine. Choose what genes to express. Train them from a young age like jakob. And don't a lot of women drop insane times after having a kid?

Not very ethical but I feel like doing what I listed would result in a sub 4. But what sort of life would that be lol.

Shelbo-800 could have done it with enough of the right juice.

She claimed she wanted to break 14 in the 5K. That juice was juicing.

Too bad she was popped.
