Noureddine Morceli ran world records in the 1500m (3:27.37), mile (3:44.39) and 3000m (7:25.11) in addition to winning three world titles and Olympic gold in the 1500m during his brilliant career.
Here the Algerian middle-distance legend explains why he made the trip to Oxford for the 70th anniversary of Roger Bannister's four-minute mile and why Bannister was such a special man.
He also talks about his own first sub-four-minute mile, why breaking the world mile record was so important to him and how fast he might run in super-spikes today!
Morceli also explains why the mile would make a great Olympic event. Plus, what does he think of Jakob Ingebrigtsen and the world's current top milers?
