1. In terms of their sheer speed at 400m, what is the slowest you've heard of any sub 4 guy being?
2. In terms of their 5K strength, what is the weakest you've heard of any sub 4 guy being?
For me: I know of one guy who ran under 4 on 51.5 400m speed who wound up breaking 4 (post collegiate), and I know of another guy who I don't think was capable of much better than 14:3X who broke 4 in college. Anyone know any 52+ or 14:40+ types who broke 4?
didn't roger bannister only run 14:30 for 3 miles or something like that when he broke 4?
Webb has thinks he has the mental desire to relive his past but he doesn't. He joins a long list of runners who were super stars, tried to continue at a top level, but cannot get it done.
Theres been a bunch of threads on this but 52-53 seems about the slowest 400 time for a sub-4 guy.
Bannister was one of the slowest half milers to mile time at the time he broke his world record.
