It Is The Brain, Not The Heart

Whether We Athletes Liked It Or Not, The 4-minute Mile Had Become Rather Like An Everest: A Challenge To The Human Spirit, It Was A Barrier That Seemed To Defy All Attempts To Break It, An Irksome Reminder That Men's Striving Might Be In Vain.

If I Faltered, There Would Be No Arms To Hold Me And The World Would Be A Cold And Forbidding Place.

It's Amazing That More People Have Climbed Mount Everest Than Have Broken The 4-minute Mile.

I Think That Is A Universal Adolescent Feeling, Trying To Find Your Place. The Adolescent Who Is Perfectly Adjusted To His Environment, I've Yet To Meet.

May Is A Very Early Time In The Year And The Weather Is Usually Bad. You Cannot Run A Fast Mile Race If There Is A Strong Wind, Because It Makes Your Running Uneven.
