This week's topic is The 4 Minute Mile.
On the morning of 6 May 1954, Sir Roger Bannister did the impossible.
The Daily Telegraph, at the time had described the sub-four-minute mile as “sport’s greatest goal”, something “as elusive and seemingly unattainable as Everest”.
They story of this great achievement is a good one. Hopefully we can all learn a little bit more about it by the end of this episode.
Hear us discuss:
- Why even a mile?
- How it became a race.
- Roger Bannister
- His training for the race
- The big day itself
- The psychological barrier was broken
- The record as of today
