It's the week of Millrose, and the mile is on the mind. Despite 'Super Shoes', fast tracks, and plenty of good competition, the Sub-4 mile remains as the magic barrier between good and great for a middle distance runner. We've kept a running list of all New Yorkers to join the club, and we've compiled it below. Who will be the next to join the list?
Note:
After careful research, we believe this list to be 95% complete. If you note an athlete we left off, please reach out and let us know at kbrazeil@milesplit.com. Times below are athletes first entries onto their list.
