For hundreds of years, no man can run one mile under 4 minutes. Scientifists claimed that its impossible for the human body to achieve such a feat. During May 1954, Roger Bannister ran the first recorded four minute mile. It was a goal which had eluded the best middle distance runners for some time. Bannister proved that your lungs wouldn’t burst with the effort of such a fast run. Weeks later during July’s Commonwealth Games, two more athletes ran sub-four minute miles: in the same race! This is proof that it could be done stripped away any remaining doubt. Other runners began to believe they could do the same. What people believed they could do, they focussed on, then they achieved. Since then many more have equalled this feat. And the record is now 3 minutes and 43.13 seconds. Nothing is impossible.
