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 .

No one. The world record is 3:43
so far the record is somewhere in three minutes ....... so no one has ever done that yet
8 blocks is in one mile and .1 mile is one mile
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.
