Also, why does it sound like Bob Einstein / Super Dave Osborne on the call?

This might sound like an overreaction… but if he could do that at 16, it’s hard to imagine he won’t break it in his early-mid 20s.

That’s absolutely insane; can these guys stay in the anaerobic sprint state for a whole mile?

I ran the mile in high school a long time ago and I wasn’t bad at it. This dude would have beat me by about a quarter of a mile. In a mile race.

Holy shite.

If someone told me he was 30 I wouldn’t have doubted it. But that’s a crazy time for a 16 year old

I ran track when I was his age. Trained hard at cross country and made all state, somehow. Then I ran long distance on the track team.

Just did the math... this guy would've been hanging out drinking Gatorade in the stands with the cheerleaders for over 2 minutes before I crossed the finish line.

Ethiopians are distance runners, Jamaicans are sprinters.

White folk found their niche with the mile

Yeah, at my best I could do a mile in about 6 minutes.
