description: "Raymond P. Flynn is a retired middle-distance runner who works as a sports agent. During his racing career, Flynn ran 89 sub-four minute miles. He ran his best time of 3:49.77 on 7 July 1982 in Oslo, Norway at the Bislett Games Dream Mile. The time still stands as the outdoor Irish national record, but was surpassed when Andrew Coscoran ran 3:49.26 indoors in 2025. Flynn also held the Irish 1500 metres record for 41 years after running 3:33.5, in the same Oslo race."
