Four Minutes in a Mile – John Landy

An Australian middle-distance runner and state governor, John Landy made a legendary dash by running the mile in less than four minutes.

Running a mile in less than four minutes seemed impossible for humans, even for the fastest runner, but Landy’s performance and perseverance showed that nothing truly is impossible.
