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
• His training for the race
• The big day itself
• The psychological barrier was broken
• The record as of today
