Just saw this on the news.   :(

One of my favorite sports books is "The Perfect Mile".  And I have read many sports books.

Also have watched that historic run on YouTube quite a few times.

Amazing that he was able to juggle his medical studies with his training.

He was 88; that’s a good life.

One of my daughter's biggest thrills in running was winning a race on the track where Bannister ran sub four.
It was still a dirt track when she ran there and that made it more special for her.
