The BQ or the Sub-4:00 Mile? What Is The Biggest Milestone In Running?
On today's episode, Alex, Katelyn and Michael debate about what the single biggest milestone is in all of running.
First, Alex argues that it has to be the sub four minute mile, including the prospect that the barrier could conceivably be broken by a woman in the near future.
Then, Katelyn stumps for the Boston Marathon qualifier (or BQ) as the single most significant milestone in all of running, as it's the benchmark for thousands of recreational runners each year, and is effectively the "Olympics for the every-person."
Finally, Michael suggests that the sub two hour marathon on a legit marathon course is not only the greatest milestone in distance running, but it is the final frontier in marathoning.
