Four-minute mile

The "Four-minute mile" refers to running a mile (approximately 1,609 meters) in under four minutes, a barrier that was long considered unbeatable. In 1954, Scottish runner Roger Bannister became the first to break this barrier, demonstrating that such a feat was physically possible with proper training and determination. Breaking the four-minute mile marked a significant achievement in sports, inspiring countless athletes and advancing our understanding of human endurance and performance. Since then, many runners have surpassed this mark, highlighting advancements in training, nutrition, and sports science.
