As a spectator, the pace may seem fairly casual to look at, but any long distance runner will know that running that speed, even for just the first quarter mile of it, is mentally forbidding. You have to keep denying that you can't go on.
Thank you for this. I was honestly thinking they would look like full sprint to do 4 rounds of a track in under 4 mins. That’s absolutely crazy
Yep, admittedly it would be much faster if I trained middle distance but my 400 is 1:30, their form also has to do with how casual it looks I think because I don't look slightly casual doing 400 or 800 repeats at much slower than they are going. Really incredible watching them. But then I can't run a mile at world record marathon pace either! I'm continually astounded by the paces they are going
An momentous achievement in athletics history

All these athletes were true legends in their lifetimes.
They still are...
Well preserved footage of a great achievement in sports.
great footage

@@deconstructedshorts1848is this real?
Excellent strategic plan executed competently, and Roger's finishing form from 250 out was beautiful and inspiring!
This is just as much mental toughness (I would think) I have no idea.
Deserves more comments...was a big milestone

First time I’ve seen the whole race, wonderful historical footage
Hicham El Guerrouj is the current men's record holder with his time of 3:43.13
Faith Kipyegon has the women's record of 4:07.64.
Even today that is an outrageously fast pace, equivalent to running 16 sub 15 second 100m sprints in a row. Its not surprising people thought it was a barrier, because for 99.9999999% of the human race this is completely impossible.
This should be compulsory viewing for all modern sports commentators. When you've nothing to say that will add value just stay quiet
We're looking at you Chris Collinsworth.
i'm running a 5k on Saturday and i'm going to channel this man's determination, go on Roger lad!
Thank you! This is so cool to watch.
an inspiration to all runners!
I was nine years old and read about it in our slementary school paper Current Events ❤ thank for this revisit
What's interesting is if Australian John Landy ( who ran 1.4 sec faster than Roger the following month in June 54 ) had travelled to Europe in the summer of 1953, looking for faster tracks and better competition, he would undoubtedly have become the first sub-4 min miler. So, why didn't he? And, why didn't his athletic federation encourage him to do so? Well, I think that nobody back then had any idea of how iconic and symbolic and inspirational and famous the breaking of the 4 minute mile barrier would become.
If ifs and buts were chocolate and nuts, we'd all be munching and crunching.
I can remember all of those crappy old tracks. Surface and wind were a big factor for the perfectionists. Some tracts had deep pools of water that were not for the cross-country. This was a time of postwar austerity when rationing was still easing and athletic diets were a dream.
Sheer graft and determination.
He ran it in his mind for months. When he was able to see it in his mind then his muscles changed and enabled him to do it physically. Scientists at the time said it was impossible because others who had tried and trained never were able to get under 4 minutes
Better look up what "graft" means.
@@jbrock8596 It means hard work
Last qtr mile looked like he shoulda hit 3:55. He was cooking. Brave 3 lads
Truely Amazing!
あなたのビデオは非常に有益です👍
BRILLIANT! What a day! Incidentally the first person to run an official 4 minute mile was Derick Ibbotson ..exactly 4 minutes
My dad was in the regiment in 1979 and he was doing just under a 5 minute mile 😳
That would take me about Half an Hour with a Gale Force Nine behind me.

Dear Sir/Madam. Good-evening. How are you? I trust you are exceedingly well.
Well done to Mr Bannister, for setting a new World record in running the mile in under four minutes. What, a great achievement.
He, was an amazing athlete. I was so proud to have watched him run.
Was Mr Bannister, the first Man to run a mile in under four minutes? You mean in the History of the World? Even in Ancient days? That's unbelievable! Well done. Seriously.
Yours Respectfully.
Mr Francesca Al Kray. 🐂
The pace of the 1500m has come along way since Roger’s day, I remember running 14yr boys county level and the top 3 boys coming in the late 3mins. (Men’s WR is 3.26)
so the WR is 3:26, but 14yr old run it in 3 minutes... are you from Mars?
the 1500 is not the same as the mile
@@michaldzurik9229The difference between 22.5 and 26.5 km/h.
shoe and track technology has a lot to answer for
Absolutely incredible. I know I will never run a 4 minute mile, but I have a friend with a better build who hopes to one day
Run starts at 0:29 and ended at 4:34
You Tube time is different that real time.
Why is this video much clearer than the video for Mile WR?
Because people had better eyesight years back due to not watching TV all the time. Things got really fuzzy beginning with the 1970s.
Was it a cold day? The crowd are all in thick coats.
🔥🔥🔥
That guy should have kept going for it
Да, были люди в наше время.
Не то, что нынешнее племя
The guy who came in second also broke the 4 minute barrier but guess what? He still came in second and hardly anyone knows his name
The guy who came in second probably was lucky to do it in 4:30 due to having to shove through all the people on the track when Bannister crossed the finish line. You gotta love the athletic event security in the olden days.
Stupid remark--he didn't finish.
So the call was 3.05 after 3 laps. That means the last lap was 54.4 seconds. Accurate?
No, it was 3:00.5. Bannister ran just under 59 for the last quarter.
57 s for the first lap, the went out too fast!
Not true. Since the beginning effort of a race will be anaerobic you want to go out a little harder since you are using a different energy system for roughly the first minute (which is Bannister’s case was pretty much the first lap)
Each lap planned and executed perfectly---The Dream Mile!

Times when everyone were black 😃
It was way over 4 minutes if this video is accurate.
Do you think the camera, replay equipment and stopwatch were all perfectly aligned? I doubt it.
Drama-queen Bannister made a habit of collapsing over the finish line
He flopped like an n b a player, Faked it like a soccer player and whined about it like an nfl quarterback
@@codpiecemcduff3421 Why are you idiots so disrespectful of Bannister's historic, totally exhausting performance. (Bet you guys can't even WALK a mile under one hour.)
Blah! Can people even count!! I counted at least 4 minutes and 14 seconds.This video is a lot clearer that the other 1954 video of the race on RUclips. Did the BBC do some magic and clear up the images. Is there a deeper occult meaning behind this event.
you are gay
Are you mental lol?
erm, I'm pretty sure the camera used to capture this video wasn't digital, yet here you are watching digital footage.... how did that happen...
Wake up! No occult meaning here! Stop thinking everything in life is a conspiracy!
