Roger Bannister: Breaking the 4-minute mile #shorts

On the morning of May 6, 1954, British athlete Sir Roger Bannister did the impossible and became the first person to run a mile in under four minutes.

Only abut 1500 elite athletes have broken that time since 1954. And v. few of them ran on cinder tracks with poor training methods, deficient dieting and poor, heavy equipment.
