Running a four minute mile was impossible . . . until it wasn't | Weaver & Loom [E081]

from Weaver & Loom · host Lucas Skrobot

For hundreds of years mankind tried to break a four minute mile. People tried everything to break the barrier... even had bulls chasing them.  Scientists said it would never be done. They said the human body couldn't survive due to lack of oxygen.  Sports experts said the conditions would have to be absolutely perfect.  Turns out that none of that was true...   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Bannister https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four-minute_mile https://www.nomeatathlete.com/4-minute-mile-certainty/ https://hbr.org/2018/03/what-breaking-the-4-minute-mile-taught-us-about-the-limits-of-conventional-thinking Medical journals saying it was impossible (and some said possible) Roger's Training regiment    Until next time... Be a change maker, weave your destiny, own the future.
