1954 Roger Bannister Track and field First sub-four-minute mile
Roger Bannister ran 3:59.4 on May 6, 1954. It was an amazing feat because, not only was he the first person to run faster than four minutes for the mile, but, at the time, it was considered physiologically impossible to break the four minute barrier.
Roger Bannister ran the first sub four-minute mile on May 6, 1954 during an event between British AAA and Oxford University at Iffley Road Track in Oxford.
running on the track!
Roger Bannister was the first man to break the four minute mile. He did it in May, 1954 at a meet in England, I believe with a time of 3:59.4. He was running with others that also had the potential. I guess you could say that the conditions were just right for him to break the record.

That depends on the shape of the running track.
If you are wondering how that time equates to average I have bad news if you are 13 Y.O. or more. You have a lot of work to do, the average reasonably fit teenager can do that with no training. [or they could in the fifties when I was in school and Roger Bannister was our hero].
