Who was the oldest athlete in the winter olympics?
It's a very difficult feat. Considering the 4 minute barrier was only broken 50 years ago or so, the difficulty in stringing four consecutive 440s that average under 60 seconds is very hard.In addition, you have to have a body type that can allow you to run distance with speed. When I ran, I could run distance all day long but snails and slugs seemed to creep by me. Ideally, you would need a very low amount of body fat, a very low heart rate (resting) and an awful lot of courage as it is painful to push through that 4 minute mile. And you would have to be male as no woman has yet to break 4 minutes. Undoubtedly, some day they will but training methods and the right gene combination will have to mesh perfectly.
And finally, breaking 4 minutes will require lots of luck. The training involved will be long, difficult and fraught with the dangers of injury. This is a tough thing to put your body through and often runners suffer knee and leg injuries.
But if you do it, you will be in a truly elite class of athlete.
