Will Anyone Ever Run A 3 Minute Mile? - TIME
some reading i was doing. interesting to see that although this may not be considered cheating now, but somewhere down the track it probably would. god knows if anyones taking advantage of it now.. do we assume that everyone is clean?
highthief - from recent memory id have to disagree with you. in the last say 10-15 years of 100m T&F, the athletes that performed the best were edging towards 30.
from the Lewis/Burrell/Mitchell era, to Christie, Greene, Bailey, have all been at their peak once they edged 30.
SF - all those names you mentioned are sportmen who either 1) play a team sport or 2) play a sport against a course.( i have no idea who jem mace is though.) the 100m is against other individuals. theres a big difference
