If you’re a sports buff, you may be familiar with the story of Roger Bannister and the 4-minute mile. You may also be familiar with a popular myth that’s spouted up around Mr. Bannister’s feat.
The myth is that the previous record of 4:01.4 was set in 1945. For 9 years the record was “stuck” there. Just 1.4 seconds away from the big 4:00:00 barrier!
People believed that it was impossible to break the 4-minute mile. Then Bannister broke the barrier in 1954. Six weeks later John Landy also ran the mile in under 4:00! Since then over 1,000 men have run the mile in under 4:00!
Therefore, the myth says that this wasn’t a physical barrier but a psychological barrier that had to be broken. Once Bannister broke the psychological barrier then others believed they could do it too. It makes for a nice story but it doesn’t hold water. As Rock Tucker, of the science of sports points out, it was a training and technology barrier more than a psychological barrier.
Bannister worked with “pace setters” who pushed him to run faster. This wasn’t a common practice at the time. In fact, Landy only broke the record after he started doing the same thing. Synthetic tracks were also invented around this time. Landy’s first sub-4-minute mile was on one of these tracks and this was after years of running on slower tracks in Australia.
Care to guess how many sub-4-minute miles have been run on synthetic tracks? It’s over 500. So, sure psychological issues may have had something to do with breaking the barrier but it sure seems like advanced training and technology had a lot more to do with it.
