So one of my teammates asked if any runner has gone sub-8 and me and my coach said yeah. He was like "oh so a lot of people have done it." We kinda laughed and said it's not like it happens all the time. But anyway just how many people have done it?

Only 1.
Daniel Komen did it twice. Nobody else has done it.
thanks i told him komen had the record but didn't know anyone else that did
food for thought: based 3000 times:
Komen: 7:20.6 + 2.9 (18.7m) = 7:23.5
12:39 - 7:20 = 5:19 = 31.9 per 200
7:20 - 3:45 = 3:35 (1390m) = 31.5 per 200
so we can assume Komen's derivative at 3000 is about 31.7/200
=> for Komen 7:20.6 = 7:55.2 give or take
El-G: 7:23.0 + 2.9 (18.7m) = 7:25.9
12:50 - 7:23 = 5:27 = 32.7 per 200
7:23 - 4:44.7 = 2:38.3 = 31.7 per 200
so we can assume El-G's derivative at 3000 is about 32.2/200
=> for El-G 7:23.0 = 7:58.1 give or take
Geb: 7:25.0 + 2.9 (18.7m) = 7:27.9
12:39 - 7:25 = 5:14 = 31.4 per 200
7:25 - 3:31 = 3:54 = 31.2 per 200
so we can assume El-G's derivative at 3000 is about 31.3/200
=> for Geb 7:25.0 = 7:59.2 give or take
Saidi-Sief: 7:25.0 + 2.9 (18.7m) = 7:27.9
12:50 - 7:25 = 5:25 = 32.5 per 200
7:25 - 4:46 = 2:38 = 31.7 per 200
so we can assume Saidi-Sief's derivative at 3000 is about 32.1/200
=> for Saidi-Sief 7:25.0 = 8:00.0 give or take
