Scientists say Kenyan Olympian Faith Kipyegon , 31 , has what it takes to run a four-minute mile.

With the perfect race, she could complete a mile in 3:59:37 - beating Roger Bannister's record-breaking time by 0.3 of a second .

With right training, state-of-the-art shoes, and a carefully choreographed team of pacing runners, scientists say she could be the first woman to break the barrier.
