  • Summary

  • This week's topic is The 4 Minute Mile.


    On the morning of 6 May 1954, Sir Roger Bannister did the impossible.

    The Daily Telegraph, at the time had described the sub-four-minute mile as “sport’s greatest goal”, something “as elusive and seemingly unattainable as Everest”.


    They story of this great achievement is a good one. Hopefully we can all learn a little bit more about it by the end of this episode.


    Hear us discuss:


    • Why even a mile?
    • How it became a race.
    • Roger Bannister
