Have been thinking of the fastest mile ever during an IM run, sub 6 is fairly standard among the top runners, but does anyone have an idea of the fastest mile? Sub 5? Sub 4:50?

If we go by the tracker, it's probably like 3:30 :|

Not Kona but the last 5km in Roth 1997 when LVL won were really fast. If I recall, it was a low 16.

I’d bet some pros have done sub-5:30 heading out onto Alii in the first few miles.

As I recall from discussions with Matt Hanson some time ago the last year he raced Kona as an AG'er, 2013, his last mile was sub 5:00 (he ran 2:53 that day).
