According to Gerry Lindgren, the men's 4 mile world record is 16:08, set by Gerry Lindgren in 1968 just prior to the Olympics. He apparently ran the time at Mt. Sac, claiming that he averaged 4:02 per mile over the hilly course. An unbelievable time, literally, considering he would have set the 3000 meter, 2 mile, 3 mile, and 5000 meter world records (set on a track, mind you) along the way. The real answer to the question is presumably the time Bekele recorded while en route to his 10000 meter world record of 26:17. According to a pace calculator, his time at 4 miles was roughly 16:55.
