In 1954, Roger Bannister of England became the first person to run a miles in four minutes in 1954, an achievement that many people think is impossible to achieve, and scientists say they believe in a woman. It can also be broken now. This achievement is less than four minutes later, and nearly three-quarters of people have become this achievement, which is impossible to achieve. Obstacles and further expand the limits of human possibilities.
A study published in the journal of the Royal Society published theories on Tuesday night in the Royal Society’s Public Science Journal, Kenya’s Faith Kipyegon set a women’s world record in 2023 for 4 minutes and 7.64 seconds, possibly There will be enough time at 3:59.37 this year. Reduce aerodynamic drag by improving drafters.
Critics may dismiss the women’s bid for four minutes, which is unlikely to be a propaganda stunt or a mere experimental experiment. But the authors of the study believe that successful attempts will eliminate mental disorders, inspire other women and become a symbolic achievement, in a game, less than a minute per lap, still have a fabulous attraction force.
“A lot of people say that Bennister or anyone can’t break four minutes physically, and I’m sure a lot of brothers will say, ‘’Women never have four minutes; seven seconds away,” University of Colorado Biology Mechanicist, emeritus professor and one of the study authors, said Rodger Kram. “But people say women can’t do a lot of things, and then they do a lot of things.”
What is unclear is whether Jipigon will be interested in the challenge. Cram said he was sending a copy of the study to her and her coach.
Kipyegon said in a statement earlier Wednesday that Kenya said she found the study “interesting”, adding: “I thank people for showing my world record as Inspiration to imagine what might be possible in the future.”
The study shows that the best chance for Kipyegon to break four minutes is by drafting, or using Pacesetters to help lower wind drag, while in the first half of the race, one racer was in front of her and another player was in the back . These pacemakers will replace the last two laps with two different escorts.
If they were also the world’s top female midrange runner, then Kipigon might have been driving for less than four minutes without hiding her players, the researchers said. If successful, this approach will qualify as an official world record.
Drafting in the formation of other runners can make the record run faster when using the same amount of energy.
Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge broke the two-hour barrier to the marathon in 2019. Kipchoge’s 1 hour 59 minutes and 40 in Vienna was not eligible for the world record, because Jeepchoge’s time is a world record, so Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge used the strategy of changing five shots . Under World Track and Field, rules of the Global Governing Body of Track and Field are not allowed.
“If we do have to do some well-planned track and field competitions, we think it’s physiologically possible,” said Shalaya Kipp, another researcher in the Mayo Clinic in exercise physiology.
Nevertheless, this study will certainly be popular with skeptics. Ray Flynn, a two-time Olympic athlete from Ireland, ran four quarters of a mile under 89 minutes, is now an outstanding agent and meets with the director, called Kipyegon another Women can break four minutes without additional footwear technology advances. Kipyegon essentially has to be two seconds faster per lap to less than four minutes, he noted.
“Think about it is romantic, but let’s make it happen,” Flynn said in an interview Tuesday.
More than 2,000 elite men ran a mile in less than four minutes, with more than twenty American high school runners.
The emergence of so-called superspikes, with enhanced foam cushioning and elastic carbon fiber boards, and advances in track construction, helped make miles below 4 miles more common. As well as ingestion of baking soda or sodium bicarbonate, a legal technique that helps cushion acidity and neutralizes interference with muscle contractions, is also widely used in short and intense races like miles.
The underrunning four miles remains the next boundary challenge for female midrange runners. For decades, women have had to fight the suspicion and discrimination of officials, who once felt that they lack strength and endurance and could even undermine their opportunities in reproduction as they work hard.
Between 1932 and 1960, after the 800-meter race was held at the 1928 Amsterdam Games, between 1932 and 1960, women are not allowed to run at the Olympics. More than 200 meters. It was not until the Olympic Games in Los Angeles in 1984 that a women’s marathon was held.
Dr. Kip said that a woman’s four miles could be “another nail in the coffin”, opposing bias and further affirmed: “Women are very capable and we don’t have to worry about such things.”
The authors of the study acknowledge that under ideal conditions, the under four miles must be achieved, in which wind is lacking. Finding a pacemaker that can keep up with Jipigon may not be easy.
No woman appears within four seconds of the 4:07.64 mile record. When she set a record in Monaco in 2023, she ran the fourth lap alone, which did not work for any potential help in drafting.
Ideally, a female pacemaker would be 1.3 meters ahead of Kipyegon, helping deflect at this racing speed is essentially 15 miles of wind. The second pacemaker will lag 1.3 meters behind, pushing air molecules toward Jipigan’s back and additionally reduce aerodynamic drag.
The study said it is also possible to try to break four minutes through the entire process with two elite male athletes, but that doesn’t fit the official record of the women-only match.
Dr. Cram said all-female walkers “have many benefits psychologically and sociologically.” “I think it’s so cool to do it alone.”
