    Inspired by Joe Mac's thread I got to thinking about how many days in a row elites could run a sub 4. Obviously I'm not talking about 140 mile weeks then a quick mile, just trying to run sub-4. With heats, obviously many have done 3 times in the Olympics (assuming the heats, semis and finals were on successive days, but what could a fit El G do? Geb? Kenny? Who else? Do you think some are simply better suited for this? I'd love to hear Joe's take on this as well. Could anyone do 30 days? What do YOU think?

    I'd say a fit Danny K could do the most. 2-4 weeks

    Easily. Running a mile at slower than your 2-mile PR when in shape is, while not the most comfortable feeling in the world, definitely doable for a few weeks given good conditions and barring injury if that's all you're focused on. I don't think the same could be said for 5k's at 10k pace though.

    Remember a few years back when the London marathon did the 1 mile/hour for 1000 hours challenge. I'd like to see them try the Sub 4 mile/day challenge.
