Faith Kipyegon attempts to break 4-minute mile barrier in Paris

Looks like it could be a mix of male and female pacers for Faith Kipyegon’s Breaking4 attempt on Thursday. An all-star cast could be in the works. No official pacing strategy has been announced by Nike yet. I’ve seen videos of Grant Fisher, Cooper Teare, Stewy McSweyn and Craig pic.x.com/HroeyIgpW6

A few months ago, a study suggested a barrier once considered impossible to break was, in fact, within reach. This week, Faith Kipyegon will put that theory to the test. Can a woman run a sub-4 mile?

This is a barrier that's never been broken -- a 4 minute mile by a woman! Let's hope Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon can pull it off. Which begs the question -- what's a barrier you've overcome? (And curious -- how fast can you run a mile??) @ksdknews www.nbcnews.com/sports/track-field/barrier-women-never-broken-can-faith-kipyegon-make-mile-history-rcna214186
