flag Sixteen-year-old New Zealand runner Sam Ruthe broke the under-18 indoor mile world record with a time of 3:48.88 in Boston, becoming the youngest male to run under 3:50. flag His performance, achieved on his first indoor banked track and after a long flight, highlights a growing trend of teenage dominance in middle-distance running. flag Experts attribute this to improved running economy, biomechanics, and advanced carbon-plate footwear that enhance efficiency. flag Ruthe’s family has a strong distance-running legacy, but he was encouraged to play multiple sports and maintains a modest training volume. flag He now aims to break the U18 3,000m world record.
