As a spectator, the pace may seem fairly casual to look at, but any long distance runner will know that running that speed, even for just the first quarter mile of it, is mentally forbidding. You have to keep denying that you can't go on.

@steveoTHEGREAT 5 месяцев назад

Thank you for this. I was honestly thinking they would look like full sprint to do 4 rounds of a track in under 4 mins. That’s absolutely crazy

@CaptainBrash 5 месяцев назад

Yep, admittedly it would be much faster if I trained middle distance but my 400 is 1:30, their form also has to do with how casual it looks I think because I don't look slightly casual doing 400 or 800 repeats at much slower than they are going. Really incredible watching them. But then I can't run a mile at world record marathon pace either! I'm continually astounded by the paces they are going

@LawrenceFoster-i7j Год назад

Even today that is an outrageously fast pace, equivalent to running 16 sub 15 second 100m sprints in a row. Its not surprising people thought it was a barrier, because for 99.9999999% of the human race this is completely impossible.

@musik102 Год назад

What's interesting is if Australian John Landy ( who ran 1.4 sec faster than Roger the following month in June 54 ) had travelled to Europe in the summer of 1953, looking for faster tracks and better competition, he would undoubtedly have become the first sub-4 min miler. So, why didn't he? And, why didn't his athletic federation encourage him to do so? Well, I think that nobody back then had any idea of how iconic and symbolic and inspirational and famous the breaking of the 4 minute mile barrier would become.

@mrsillywalk 11 месяцев назад

I can remember all of those crappy old tracks. Surface and wind were a big factor for the perfectionists. Some tracts had deep pools of water that were not for the cross-country. This was a time of postwar austerity when rationing was still easing and athletic diets were a dream.

He ran it in his mind for months. When he was able to see it in his mind then his muscles changed and enabled him to do it physically. Scientists at the time said it was impossible because others who had tried and trained never were able to get under 4 minutes

Sunday Twenty-Third of April Two Thousand And Twenty-Three. 23.53pm. Dear Sir/Madam. Good-evening. How are you? I trust you are exceedingly well. Well done to Mr Bannister, for setting a new World record in running the mile in under four minutes. What, a great achievement. He, was an amazing athlete. I was so proud to have watched him run. Was Mr Bannister, the first Man to run a mile in under four minutes? You mean in the History of the World? Even in Ancient days? That's unbelievable! Well done. Seriously. Yours Respectfully. Mr Francesca Al Kray. 🐂

@jbrock8596 Месяц назад

The guy who came in second probably was lucky to do it in 4:30 due to having to shove through all the people on the track when Bannister crossed the finish line. You gotta love the athletic event security in the olden days.

Why is this video much clearer than the video for Mile WR?

@jbrock8596 Месяц назад

Because people had better eyesight years back due to not watching TV all the time. Things got really fuzzy beginning with the 1970s.

@DominicR-y5d 25 дней назад

So the call was 3.05 after 3 laps. That means the last lap was 54.4 seconds. Accurate?

@nathandahl9233 13 дней назад

No, it was 3:00.5. Bannister ran just under 59 for the last quarter.

@n.s.7293 10 месяцев назад

Not true. Since the beginning effort of a race will be anaerobic you want to go out a little harder since you are using a different energy system for roughly the first minute (which is Bannister’s case was pretty much the first lap)
