SLOWEST mile EVER RUN in the 4%??????

Yesterday evening a group of college NARP friends (all somewhat fit, some former runners) decided to challenge each other to a 1600m race on our school's indoor track. The results were as follows:

1st- 5:11

2nd- 5:14

3rd- 5:25

4th- 6:03

5th- 6:26

6th- DNF

The highlight here is that 4th place 6:03 wore a pair of Vaporfly 4%'s he purchased despite not being a runner in any capacity. In fact, he plays pickup basketball in them mostly. Upon discussion we believe that this may in fact be the slowest all-out mile ever run by a male in the V4%. Can we ratify his record? Anyone on here got him beat???

Considering it's a marathon shoe, I would imagine a lot of miles north of 6:03 (2:37 marathon) have been run in them.

Elitist attitude?! 6:03 is slow as sh*t for an out mile. If He ran a 4:30 and made the same comment then you can call him an elitist.

6:03 is pretty damn fast for a random dude.

It's not a track spike but a marathon shoe so why does it matter for a mile race.

For any mile at all, I'd imagine there are thousands of marathoners who are pretty decent - like, can time qualify to any major race including maybe Fukuoka with sub-235 requirement, only short of OTQ. And many of their mile splits would be over 6 minute. Quite a few of them wear Vaporflys.

And then there are slower guys and gals who wear 4% nevertheless. Hell, my wife is going to Gallowalk Tokyo Marathon on literally no training in 2 months before the race - first she got injured and now there are heaps of snow everywhere, so she'll be lucky to break 4:30. Still she's going to wear VF4% because why not, I gave mine so much praise she had to get a pair for herself, too.
