    Kipyegon No Sub 4, RIP Bill Dellinger, Mile World Record at Pre?, Thompson 9.75
    Jul 1 2025

    The LetsRun crew takes one final look at Faith Kipyegon's Breaking 4 attmempt. It came up short, but what does it mean? Why was her final time, not really her time?

    Kishane Thompson entered rare territory by running 9.75 & the 50th Prefontaine Classic is this weekend. Could the mile world record go?

    And Oregon legend Bill Dellinger has passed.

    Jun 25 2025
    Is this the week we see the first sub-4:00 mile by a woman? We preview Faith Kipyegon’s historic attempt and dive deep into the science behind it with Dr. Mike Hahn of the Bowerman Sports Science Center & Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance (1:01:42). We also chat with Andreas Almgren (1:43:40), fresh off his stunning 12:44 European record in the 5000m. He opens up about training, belief, and adapting Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s methods to reach the next level. We break down a ridiculous weekend in the men’s 1500 — two guys run 3:27 in Paris (Azeddine Habz & Phanuel Koech), and Cam Myers and Josh Hoey join the sub-3:30 club. On the U.S. high school front, the talent is exploding: Natalie Dumas pulls off an all-time triple, Cooper Lutkenhaus runs 1:45 as a sophomore, and more phenoms are emerging.

    Plus NCAA stars were born, the Gjert Ingebrigtsen trial ended, and Grand Slam Track may be over as well.
