Faith Kipyegon, a superstar in distance running, is gearing up to attempt something many thought was beyond human capability—a woman running a mile in under four minutes. A new study suggests it’s scientifically possible, and now she’s about to put that theory to the test on the track. This isn’t just about breaking a record; it’s about shattering a long-held belief in athletics.
Editor’s Note: For decades, the four-minute mile was seen as an unbreakable ceiling for women—until now. If Kipyegon succeeds, it won’t just be a personal triumph; it’ll rewrite what we think is possible in sports. That’s the kind of moment that inspires future generations and forces us to rethink limits, both physical and mental.
