Roger Bannister, first to run mile in under 4 minutes, dies at 88 | CBC Sports

quote [ Roger Bannister, the first runner to break the 4-minute barrier in the mile, has died. He was 88. ]

A remarkable achievement that showed that, with determination, almost anything can be accomplished. And this was done without modern sports nutrition and tech.

He broke the record the year I was born. Hmmm...I seem to be focussing on death for my recent posts. Not sure what's going on.
