The fastest man in the world to never run a mile
Former Head of Conditioning for UK Athletics, John Kiely, said that Usain Bolt completing a competitive mile would depend on 鈥榟ow well he paced himself鈥�.
The record for running a mile is under 4 minutes but the co-founder of Letsrun.com, Robert Johnson, said there is no way Bolt would run a mile in under 5 minutes.
Kiely said: 鈥業t鈥檚 not really a physical thing, it鈥檚 partly physical, yes, but it鈥檚 also partly how he鈥檇 handle the discomfort and emotional distress of this wall of pain that he鈥檚 not used to hitting him鈥�.
