00:00:03

it was widely accepted in the world of athletics that running

00:00:06

a mile in less than 4 minutes was physically impossible.

00:00:10

However,

00:00:10

Roger Bannister,

00:00:12

a British middle distance runner,

00:00:13

refused to accept this limiting belief.

00:00:16

He constantly visualized himself crossing the finish line in less than 4 minutes,

00:00:21

training not only his body but also his mind to believe that it was possible.

00:00:26

On May 6th,

00:00:27

1954,

00:00:29

Bannister ran a mile in 3 minutes 59.4 seconds,

00:00:33

breaking the four minute barrier and achieving

00:00:35

what had been widely considered impossible.

00:00:39

This new record was the fruit of his self-fulfilling prophecy.

00:00:42

His belief influenced his actions,

00:00:45

leading to the achievement of the goal.

00:00:47

What is even more interesting

00:00:49

is that after Banister broke this barrier,

00:00:52

others quickly followed.

00:00:54

Just 46 days after Banister's record,

00:00:57

John Landy ran a mile in 3 minutes 57.9 seconds.

00:01:02

Today,

00:01:02

running a mile in less than 4 minutes is

00:01:05

almost a standard for elite male middle distance runners.

00:01:09

This demonstrates the power of self-fulfilling prophecies.

00:01:12

Once expectations have been reset,

00:01:15

what was previously considered impossible becomes the norm.
