heard this from the Brooks shoes CEO...the guy who broke the 1mile record ran the equivalent of 44 40 yard dashes in 5 seconds each...pretty quick

That sounds crazy. Maybe partly due to the lack of having to start, but still crazy.

That tells me that if I ran the 40 once and extrapolated my time to a mile, I'd still be slower than that guy who actually ran a mile.

It would be like setting a treadmill to a 15 pace.

Yeah, I think if you had a 65-yard dash and took the 25-65 yard split, pretty much everyone (minus the absolutely slowest OL/DTs) would be under 5 and a lot of skill guys would be pushing 4, but it’s still pretty insane.
