Yep, and no chance of ever getting someone to run 3:53, either.
Never say never, just figure out what it's going to take and run like hell.
As fans we can speculate on the difficulties, but I sure hope the athletes
don't."
You make Brian's point. A 3:53 is the equivalent of a 8:22+ steeple. A 7:58
steeple is the equivalent of a 3:43+ mile. Perhaps these comparisons might
just put the WJR "record" in perspective.
