Today we would like to pay tribute to a moment in running history - the sub 4:00 min mile, by the legendary Roger Bannister. He did what others said couldn't be done. Doctors predicted that a runner's heart would explode if he ran a sub 4:00 min mile. Bannister decided to do it anyway. Doing so he correctly predicted that after he broke the momentous benchmark many would break it, many more times after him. He was right. Bannister was a truly amazing athlete and person with an accute intellect.
