The mile run is not an Olympic event. The closest one is the 1500 meter run,
which is 0.932 mile.
At the time I write this ... end of July 2012 ... I don't know what will happen at
London. The current Olympic record for that event was set at Sydney in 2000 by
Noah Ngeny of Kenya, who ran 1500 meters in 3:32.07 .

8 blocks is in one mile and .1 mile is one mile
so far the record is somewhere in three minutes ....... so no one has ever done that yet
Practice and training. The record for a mile is less than 4 minutes, so half a mile should be easy.
4/5 of a mile.
