Banister
Roger Bannister was born in Harrow, Middlesex, in 1929. He first
enjoyed success as an athlete in his early teens, winning several
races, but it was the combining of his later educational knowledge with
his athletic ability that would enable him to become a legend.
In 1946, Bannister went to Oxford University to study
medicine. He devoted all his spare time to the track and became an
accomplished middle distance runner. The fascination at the time for all
middle distance men was the four-minute mile. Basically, it was widely
assumed that to run the distance in under four minutes was impossible
for a human being. Bannister believed it was possible, and used his
knowledge as a physician to give him as much help as possible. He
painstakingly researched mechanical aspects of running, and developed
scientific training methods to aid him.
