Faith Kipyegon’s bid to become the first woman to run a mile in under four minutes — which she will attempt Thursday in Paris — began in essence about nine months ago while she visited the Nike campus in Beaverton, Oregon.
She was feted by her sponsor’s employees. She wore her gold (1500m) and silver (5000m) medals from the Paris Games, where she became the first woman to win an individual track race at a third consecutive Olympics.
She did testing in a sport research lab, which she described as "👀.”
At some point, Kipyegon chose to take on what she called the biggest challenge of her life.
How to watch Faith Kipyegon attempt to run a mile in under four minutes

“After everything I have achieved on the track, I decided that one woman can try, and I dare to try,” she said in an Amazon documentary titled “Breaking4.”
