In this month’s episode of the Athletics Weekly Podcast, the team examines Faith Kipyegon’s upcoming attempt at becoming the first woman to break the four-minute mile.
Host Euan Crumley is joined by Jason Henderson to discuss how difficult it will be to achieve the feat, the role technology will play in the event, why manufactured events designed to break barriers are good for the sport, why Kipyegon is the best candidate for the job and how significant the project could be.
