​Sir Roger Bannister, a sporting icon, passed away on March 3rd, 2018, at the age of 88. Roger Bannister shocked the world when he ran the first sub four-minute mile (3:59.4) at Oxford's Iffley Road track, on May 6, 1954. At that time, he was a medical student who trained less than an hour a day, generally during his lunch hour.

Many thought the sub-four-minute mile to be physically impossible and unattainable, not Bannister.
