lets here it ... bump

New York times had a very comprehensive article on the sub 4 minute mile in May 2003 around the 49th anniversary (I loaned it to Paul Kemp and never got it back if he's reading this!) I remember being a bit surprised that more people have been to the top of Everest than had broken the 4 minute mile; both in the 4,000 range. It had stuff like how many sets of twins, father son combos etc. Not a pure list like you are looking for though.

Then why the f u c k would you waste time and space responding?
Well, it's at last a year more current than what the OP had.

Actually not nearly that many people have summited Everest. At the end of 2004 the number was 2,238.
go to trackandfieldnews.com they have some good lists
Has anyone run a sub-4 mile and reached the top of Everest?
I should have said the number of different people who have broken the sub 4minute mile is less than the number of people who have climbed Everest. Of course many people have broken 4 mulitple times as with everest but obviously by the stats, more mutliple runners.
And to the goofball spouting off about wasting space responding; I thought maybe the OP could look to the New York times and that original researcher might have more stats than were put in the article. It's called trying to help out. DO you just troll around threads making dumb ass comments? Up to the point I made my post what postive contribution had you made? Dumbass.

I would recommend getting the sub 4 out of the way first. I would consider it a more difficult feat but considerably less expensive; depending on how you value your time training.
By more difficult I mean I would venture to guess a much higher percentage of sub 4 minute milers could climb everest than evererest climbers could break 4.

Ya think?
That may be obvious to you but had I just said running sub 4 is harder than climbing everest some idiot would have jumped on it. Sometimes I try to head it off at the pass. Everest was summitted only two years prior to the 4 minute barrier being broken and more people have been to the top of everest despite the huge financial barriers but the two aren't way out of whack as significant accomplishments done by less than 3000 people.
Exhaustive up to ~3:55
