1954 Roger Bannister Track and field First sub-four-minute mile
Nobody has run a sub-minute mile. Nobody is anywhere near that!
A lot. Around 300 according to this. "Roger Bannister of England ran the first recorded sub-four-minute mile when he posted a 3:59.4 in 1954. The world record for the mile has since shifted down to 3:43.13 held by Hicham El Guerrouj of Morocco, but running a mile under four minutes still remains an elusive accomplishment. True is one of only an estimated three hundred Americans to have ever run a mile under the four-minute mark." http://thedartmouth.com/2007/06/22/sports/true/
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.
In 1954, only one runner, Sir Roger Bannister, famously broke the four-minute mile barrier, completing it in 3:59.4. In 1955, however, the feat was accomplished by three runners: Bannister, Laszlo Tabori, and Brian Hewson, marking a significant increase in the number of sub-four-minute miles achieved.
There are four quarters of a mile in a mile. There are four quarters in any whole.
The average time for a mile is about 8 minutes, for runners its 6 minutes, so a sub six minute mile is good for a runner and a sub seven for nonrunners.
The first sub four minute mile was Roger Banister's run in the 50's. Walking is about 17 mts. A 6 min. mile is good and dependant on the age group anything from 10 mts. down is the norm. George
