Roger Bannister: The Four Minute Mile


Sir Roger Bannister, is the first person to run 1 mile before 4 minutes. Till 1954, sports psychologists, doctors and atheletes believed that running 1 mile under 4 minutes is physically and psychologically not possible for any human.

And Sir Roger Bannister, decided to challenge this status quo. He decided to challenge this orthodox belief structure. He was determined to break this mental limitation.

He was born in ordinary middle class, but had tremendous passion for running.

When every other athlete in world was working on physical stamina and technique. Roger Bannister started focussing on developing mental and spiritual strength with mind power techniques like affirmations and visualization along with physical strength and stamina.

And on 6th May 1954, Roger did the impossible. He actually ran 1 mile in 3 min 59 seconds at Olympics.

And in next 1 year 25 more athletes could do the same.

Roger Bannister proved to the world that barriers and self limiting beliefs exist only in minds. We need to break them first.
