The fantastic memoir by Roger Bannister, the middle-distance runner who achieved the epic quest to break the four-minute mile All sports have pivotal moments, single events that change perceptions forever after. For the sport of running such a moment passed on a blustery May afternoon in 1954, when Roger Bannister broke the four-minute mile. This is the story of that fantastic run.
