Sub-4 for Kipyegon? | Guests: Andreas Almgren & Dr. Mike Hahn | HS Phenom Go Wild
Is this the week we see the first sub-4:00 mile by a woman? We preview Faith Kipyegon’s historic attempt and dive deep into the science behind it with Dr. Mike Hahn of the Bowerman Sports Science Center & Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance (1:01:42). We also chat with Andreas Almgren (1:43:40), fresh off his stunning 12:44 European record in the 5000m. He opens up about training, belief, and adapting Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s methods to reach the next level. We break down a ridiculous weekend in the men’s 1500 — two guys run 3:27 in Paris (Azeddine Habz & Phanuel Koech), and Cam Myers and Josh Hoey join the sub-3:30 club. On the U.S. high school front, the talent is exploding: Natalie Dumas pulls off an all-time triple, Cooper Lutkenhaus runs 1:45 as a sophomore, and more phenoms are emerging.
