Elle Purrier - Are you F***ing kidding - 4:16.85 full mile FTW at Millrose. AR and #2 all time

Almost breaks Mary Slaney’s outdoor mile record too.

That was ... incredible.

She deserves her own splash page tomorrow ( or a shared one with Mondo)

Just sat down and tuned in right before she did that. Mind blown! 24 years young!

Four women under 4:20, four national records. Millrose never disappoints.

WOW.

Coming into the race, her 1500 pb was 4:02.34. That converts to a 4:21.77 mile. Her actual mile pb was 4:24.88.

Face of t&f for tokyo if she makes team

And didn’t even know she broke the AR until Brooks interviewed her

Clean WR?

She was calm as could be the final laps. Insane composure while Koko was writhing.

faster than NPHS's Jace..... who just ran 4:23 in a workout last week....... hahahahaha whoops

What does that type of breakthrough and shock remind you of? Only thing I can think of is Solinsky's 2659 but admittedly their wasn't a barrier to be broken here unless you think of it as the 4:00 barrier.

Her time converts to a 3:57.8 1500.

Reminded me of Jenny Simpson breaking 4. Is Purrier essentially training alone at UNH with her college coach and doing all this? The 1500 women’s is too loaded though.

Her coach Mark Coogan told me last summer she'd break 4:00 this year. Boy was he right.

What do you think. Black page?

Ah with Coogan...who else is in that group

I don’t usually scream at my tv with excitement but this is it. She better not run the 5k this year. She absolutely destroyed Nikki Hiltz. A lock for the 1500 team for sure.

She ran 4:16.2 at 5th Ave mile last fall.

Wysocki dropping 12 seconds off her personal best and running 4 flat for 1500, beating reigning WC Decker to make the Olympic team at the 84 trials.

Prime example of how well epo works. Not even out of breath when she finished, looks like she has changed to the dark side after Doha.

Another impressive run from Jemma Reekie too on the back of beating Laura Muir and setting British indoor 800 metre record.
