- '...There was one journalist who said eventually the four-minute mile will be broken, and everybody thought it was a pretty eccentric view, because there was a long way to go. But to me, at that stage, I was only looking ahead to becoming an international. I was immediately involved in the management of the Oxford athletics, became the Secretary and then the President. I declined the invitation to compete in the London Olympics. In those days, I didn't train very much. We didn't really know how to train in modern terms. There was this thing called "burning yourself out." I didn't want to burn myself out at 18, and I had a notion that if I looked after myself, trained carefully, I would go on improving, not by training two to three hours a day, but by training three quarters of an hour a day. It seemed to me logical that you could go on improving, and you didn't have to spend all day running.'

The man ran a sub four training part time while studying to become a doctor. If thats not the GOAT then i dont know what is.
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.
I'm currently 18, and I have the exact same view as Roger
We didn't know how to train and I didn't have too much money and I ran in 1950 shoes.. But I did it!
The man the jet the legend
And on a cinder track… on a modern track it would have been easily 5 seconds faster
(it means he's been knighted)
Human ?? he was a man !!!!
