Distance Runner vs Sprinter! Brian Burns Shows DeVontae Ford How He Trains For a Sub-4 Mile

Go inside an INTENSE training session with high school phenom and @brooksrunning NIL athlete Brian Burns as he pushes his limits in Bentonville, Arkansas in his final hard session before running his first sub-4 mile in St. Louis on June 4.

While former collegiate hurdler and FloTrack Creator DeVontae Ford tries to survive his first ever distance workout :)

Burns will line up again in the mile at Brooks PR Invitational in Seattle on June 7.

The Workout
- 1K Threshold
- 2x 200m
- 600m - 500m - 400m - 300m - 200m

From threshold work to a grueling 600-500-400-300-200 progression, Burns battles through one of his toughest workouts yet while chasing history. After a breakout season that included a state record, two state titles, and a 4:00.02 mile at RunningLane, Burns ran 3:59.70 on June 4, 2026 and believes 3:57 is within reach.
