Bannister set his sights on breaking the four minute mile. He didn't make it to the olympics, which was a big disappointment for him and england. Bannister felt like he failed his whole country. His plans were that he would retire from running and focus on medicine. But instead of just paying this sex, i'm not even going to be a doctor any more. How about that?
Nobody thought the 4-minute mile was humanly possible, until it was. The story of how it happened is remarkable. So sit back and take a listen.
