Nike Backs Faith Kipyegon’s 4-Minute Mile Bid

Three-time Olympic champ Faith Kipyegon will attempt the first sub-4-minute women’s mile on June 26 in Paris under Nike’s “Breaking4” campaign. She needs to shave eight seconds off her current 4:07.64 record; Nike hints at advanced gear and full performance science support. ​

What this means for you:
Expect fresh motivation in your running app—and likely another wave of “super shoes.” If you’re shopping, compare plate stiffness and stack height regulations before splurging on the newest kicks.
