Even though it has become quite common today,it was an amazing accomplishment. I was proud of my son who broke 5 minute mile in HS. It's not easy.

It turns out that people were right -- if you run that fast, you're going to die.

Without Roger Bannister' s 4 minute mile, we wouldn't have Frank Coztansa's $52 wind sprint.
