What does it mean when someone says, "You have the speed to run fast mile"?
I mean, when you break down say, a 4:40 mile, the 100m time splits aren't very fast. Nearly anyone can run that time. But, not everyone can do a 4.40 mile.
Isn't what is really meant is that you don't have the endurance?
I'm sorry, what I meant to say is when someone says, "You don't have the speed to run a fast mile."
Don't they mean you don't have the endurance?
?
Usually referring to 400 speed. If you can't break 60 seconds for 400, you aren't breaking 4:00 for the mile. If you can split a 47 second 400, but are still just a 4:35 miler, there is the potential to become a much faster miler with some more endurance.

You will not be able to stay at top speed for a whole mile.
You need enough basic speed, so that mile pace is far enough below your maximum speed for reasonable endurance to let you hold that pace for a whole mile.
You can be a little bit shorter on speed than others, and make up for it with extra endurance, but at some point this becomes unfeasible.
