---------------- SHOW NOTES ---------------- Episode Title:  Episode 314: Balancing Act - Setting Realistic And Unreasonable Goals Introduction: Hey there, beautiful listeners! I'm Pascale Gibon, your guide through the journey of everyday life. In today's episode, number 314 of The Everyday Life Balance Show, we are diving into the world of goal setting. The big question is: Should you be aiming for realistic goals, or is it time to embrace the seemingly unreasonable ones? Both paths promise different results, and we are about to explore the nuances of each approach. Key Points: S.M.A.R.T. Goals: Advocates for setting Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Realistic, and Timely goals. S.M.A.R.T. goals are like comfortable shoes—practical but not necessarily flashy. Unreasonable Goals: Tapping into unknown territory with unreasonable goals fosters big thinking and pushes comfort zones. An example of Sir Roger Bannister breaking the 4-minute mile as an initially perceived unreasonable goal that became a standard. Mindset Shift: Encourages adopting a growth mindset by asking, "What resources do I need to achieve my goals?" instead of questioning capability. Expanding Vision: Urges listeners to think bigger and unleash their potential, exemplified by considering a 10x financial goal instead of doubling. Avoiding Pitfalls: Acknowledges potential downsides of unreasonable goals, including burnout, stress, and feelings of inadequacy. Finding the Sweet Spot: Recommends striking a balance by setting challenging goals while maximising resourcefulness to prevent burnout. Conclusion: Encourages listeners to find the sweet spot, expanding their vision for bigger goals with peace of mind. Teases the upcoming connection in the next episode with a message of growth, powerful living, and lots of love and light.   ------------- Time Stamp ------------- [00:54] Introduction: Greetings, introduction to the episode, and thanks for tuning in.

The conversation on "Focusing Forward" continues so that you make the most of the remaining months of the year. Welcome to episode 314 of The Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in.    Today, we are covering an exciting topic around goal setting. The question is: should you be setting realistic or unreasonable goals? Both strategies lead to two different outcomes, and this is what I am going to cover today.   One of the common strategies for goal setting is S.M.A.R.T. goals. S.M.A.R.T stands for: Specific Measurable Actionable Realistic Timely   Setting S.M.A.R.T. goals advocates setting realistic goals. The problem, I see, with realistic or S.M.A.R.T goals is that they are like a comfortable pair of shoes - they might not be flashy, but they get you where you need to go. Usually, when you set realistic goals, you know how to achieve them.   On the other hand, when you set unreasonable goals, you tap into unknown territory because you do not know how to achieve them. They might be scary, but they help you think big and stretch out of your comfort zone. When you think of highly successful people, you will discover that unreasonable goals are the strategy they apply.    When the British athlete Sir Roger Bannister was the first man to break the 4-minute mile in 1954, it seemed unreasonable. No one ever dreamed that it was possible. The four-minute barrier today is now a standard for professional middle-distance runners.   As you know, highly performing and successful people operate with a growth mindset. They do not ask themselves: “Can I do this?” but reflect on what resources they need to achieve their goals.   When you consider your current goals, I invite you today to expand your vision so that you think bigger and unleash your potential.   For example, if your financial goal is to double your income, what does it feel like to 10x your income instead? What thoughts come to mind? The right mindset would be to set this bigger goal and move towards it because It requires as much energy to double your income as to 10x it. In both scenarios you might need a different strategy and think outside the box.   Can you see how unreasonable goals push our boundaries and challenge us to grow? The thrill of pursuing something seemingly unattainable can be a powerful motivator, propelling us to achieve more than we ever thought possible.   However, the secret to achieving unrealistic goals is to do it with peace of mind. Indeed, seemingly unreasonable goals can lead to burnout, stress, and feelings of inadequacy. So, how do we avoid the pitfalls?   How can we strike the right chord between realistic and unreasonable goals? It is about finding your sweet spot: setting challenging goals and maximising your resourcefulness to avoid burnout.   I hope you enjoyed this episode and that you are ready to find the sweet spot that will help you expand your vision to reach bigger goals with peace of mind.  I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Until then, keep growing and living your life powerfully. Have a fantastic week, take care and lots of love and light.

Georgia Francis' granddad William, or Bill, McKim represented Great Britain in the 1,500m at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. But his fourth placed finish in the heats - narrowly missing out on a place in the finals despite suffering from an illness which should have prevented him competing - doesn't tell his full story. Not long after the event he beat eventual winner Peter Snell of New Zealand, and a year later he ran a sub-four minute mile - just seven years after Sir Roger Bannister had done so for the first time. He went on to repeat the feat a year later, before turning his attention to marathons and completing the New York event in two hours 35 minutes. In later life, Bill went on to climb Everest twice and hike the Inca Trail - something Georgia repeated years later, standing on the same spot he did to overlook Machu Picchu and making an emotional call to him back in England. Bill has since sadly passed away, but in this episode we talk to Georgia about how he was always destined to be a runner and why he nearly didn't got to Tokyo at all...   ----------------------------------   Click here to listen to William McKim talking to BBC Radio Northampton in 2021

On the morning of May 6th, 1954, Roger Bannister achieved what most people believed was not humanly possible: he ran a mile in  under four minutes. It is considered one of the greatest athletic achievements of all time, alongside Sir Edmund Hillary's ascent of Mt. Everest. Bannister was a medical student at the time. He had already been to the Olympics, two years before.  And he had spent eight years developing his own unique approach to training - one that allowed him to very gradually improve speed, while leaving time for his studies. He talks here about his childhood in wartime England, and about daring to dream the impossible.  This episode was originally published in 2016. 

On this episode we talk about how Mental Limitations are of our own making. Napoleon Hill on his Positive Action plan book talks about how the 4 minutes mile was deemed as an impossible task until ...On the morning of 6 May 1954, Sir Roger Bannister did the impossible.

Welcome to episode 84 of the weekly Learn Develop Live podcast, ‘When the impossible becomes possible!'Sir Roger Bannister was the first man to run a mile in under four minutes. Up until he did it in 1954, most people thought the four-minute mark was impossible to break. They thought the human body couldn't physically go that fast – that it would collapse under the pressure - No-one could run a mile in less than four minutes… but how did he do it?Sir Roger Bannister ran and smashed the four-minute mile despite being told by everybody that it couldn't be done.  Sir Roger went out there and did it!  The knock-on effect from achieving this saw many other people also go on and hit that mile in under four minutes, again, something that was once said by many to be impossible.Continue to be inspired with the motivation to help you ‘level up' every day!Have you booked your FREE 30 minute LDL Call?  Head over to www.ldlcall.com to book your slot!  Or send me a text on 07801543515 and let's talk!Click here to listen to the previous episodes!https://podfollow.com/motivation-inspiration-from-learn-develop-live-with-chris-jaggs/view#_=_www.learndeveloplive.com

A real treat of an episode this week as I interview someone whose books I've devoured and whose podcast I can't get enough of. He is somone who is exceptionally well placed to talk about mojo in sport. Professor Damian Hughes is a sports psychologist and visiting professor at Manchester Metropolitan University. An expert on high-performance sporting cultures, Damian's research has been praised by the likes of Sir Richard Branson, Muhammad Ali, Sir Roger Bannister, Tiger Woods, Jonny Wilkinson and Sir Alex Ferguson. He is an incredible observer of human performance through his rare ability to get very close to both sports people and sports organisations. He is able to do this by creating incredible levels of trust, based on both is values and trade-mark behaviours. Both of which we talk about extensively. Hence his ability to see success up close and the clues that success leaves behind. I highly recommend you check out The High Performance Podcast where Damian is the ying to Jake Humphrey's yang. It's a great example of how collaboration and team work can create amazing things. @highperformance I also recommend Damian's book The Barcelona Way and we talk about where the current FC Barcelona team is, mojo-wise. Damian has written many other books and is a high-demanded speaker and workshop leader - you can find out more on his website or his Instagram @liquidthinker I really enjoyed this chat - hope you enjoy it too.

Polymaths have belief in themselves. Whether it is well-placed or delusional, they believe that they will reach their goal. Many people are their own worst enemies when it comes to learning. But this speaks to something even more fundamental: the belief in agency, or the ability to act and achieve. This means that output equals input, within reasonable expectations. One cannot reach a goal if they don't believe they are capable of it first. Questions or comments regarding the podcast?

Don't miss Pastor Adam's Podcast for disciples: TheBLAST Podcast SHOW NOTES: Sir Edmund Hillary in 1953 became the very first human being to reach the summit of Mt. Everest. Why not before then? Why have there been about 4100 who have done it since? Is there a physical reason why people before 1953 were incapable and after that moment, they became capable? Sir Roger Bannister became the first human being to run a mile in under 4 minutes in 1954. Why not before then? Since then, the best runners achieve this goal on a regular basis. The reason is not physical, it is spiritual! Joshua 1:6-9- "Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. 7 "Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. 8 "This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. 9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God [is] with you wherever you go." -- Join our bible reading plan: https://bible.com/p/21036256/5e69cf8f678bf7e81329c59d81a8a479 Want to receive text updates from our church?

The next time you think something is impossible for you, I want you to remember this story. It's a story about running. Particularly, it's a story about The Four Minute Mile. For many years, The Four Minute mike was held as the Holy Grail for track runners. In 1945, someone ran a mile faster than anyone before, at 4:01:03. And for the next nine years, no one could close that gap of fewer than 1.5 seconds. But on a rainy and windy evening in Oxford, England, after working all day at the hospital, Sir Roger Bannister ran a mile in 3:59:04. He had abundant evidence, like everyone else in the running world, to believe it was impossible. But he thought he could do it and he did. And then something really fascinating happened: 46 days later, another runner broke the four-minute barrier. And since then, over 1,300 runners have done it. So how is it that for so many years this thing seemed impossible and now was nearly routine? Because once one person did it, those who followed him thought it could be done. So the next time you think something is impossible in your life, I invite you to think the opposite and keep going.

A neurologist, he kept a phrenology head in his office as a reminder of human folly. “The human mind is filled with instances of ridiculous ideas which have taken hold.” And by the way, in the spring of 1954, he became the first man to run a four-minute-mile. A conversation from our vault, refurbished to meet todays demanding standards. In audio quality if not in political leadership. 

In later life, Sir Roger Bannister was the perfect gentleman, a retired neurologist living in the suburbs. But in 1954 he shocked the world when he broke through the four-minute-mile barrier, running a mile in 3 minutes 59.4 seconds. Beloved and respected, he played down his achievement, often saying that as far as he was concerned the barrier had been psychological, not physical, as many had said. Rabbi Dunner connects this humble idea to a question posed by Moses in Eikev, and the remarkable answer he proposed to the Jewish nation just weeks before he died.

Everyone was so fascinated when recently, the greatest marathon runner of this era, Eliud Kipchoge, broke the two hour barrier for running a marathon. He became the Sir Roger Bannister of our time. Interesting not many people were talking about how he achieved this feat. As a young athlete watching great sporting performances, the aim should be to go behind the scenes to find out what made the achievement possible. And thats exactly what we do on this episode of the podcast. We break down the success of Eliud Kipchoge and the lessons you can learn from it.

In this episode Lee explains exactly what makes people great at performing or doing what they do and how you can apply it into your personal or professional life. He also covers how you can get people to remember things that you want them to remember, especially when performing on stage. KEY TAKEAWAYS How many times have you been surprised when watching a talent show then wondered why the ‘best’ singer hasn’t won? There’s 2 types of emotion in this regard, the emotion that you feel and the emotion that you make other people feel. If you’re going to achieve your goals you have to attach a piece of music that you have a emotional attachment to, so you feel something. A desire is stronger than a want or need because you have an emotional attachment to that thing. So the lessons you teach should have emotion attached to them so your audience remembers clearly what’s been discussed. If you can get your audience to resonate with your message and story you’re getting across and you want them to feel as much emotion as possible. The more emotion, the better the performance. If you can get your customers or staff to feel emotion towards your business, then they’re more likely to be motivated to buy into your business. If you want to be great, then the key is getting people to feel positive emotions. BEST MOMENTS ‘If it was me I’d remove the letter X from Xfactor and replace it with ‘emotion’’ ‘Link emotion to your goals.’ ‘Take your audience on an emotional roller coaster.’ ‘The difference between being good or being great is emotion’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Liquid Thinker The Barcelona Way by Damian Hughes The Winning Mindset: What Sport Can Teach Us About Great Leadership ABOUT THE GUEST Professor Damian Hughes is an international speaker and bestselling author who combines his practical and academic background within sport, organisational development and change psychology, to help organisations and teams to create a high performing culture.

We don't always notice it, but every business has its own culture. Your business culture can easily tell you how you’re progressing in achieving your business goal. The truth is, if it does not encourage creativity, commitment, and dedication, then don’t expect high performance from your team. So, how do we change this if we see this happening? In this episode of the Business Problem Solved, Professor Damian Hughes talks to Lee about how we can create and maintain healthy company culture. Meeting your business objectives will come easier if you incorporate Damian’s strategies. Discover today how you should act as a leader, who you should select for your core cultural architects, why choose the commitment culture among others, what’s the importance of every individual’s soft skills, and many more. KEY TAKEAWAYS What is culture? Culture is how people behave when no one’s watching. It’s not about having support or necessary punitive measures in place. It’s about being transparent on how people should behave like. People is always at the centre of how stuff work inside your business. Learning how to manage your team and communicating with them effectively will bring great benefit to attaining business goals. Being patient while providing substantial leadership is very important if you want to keep a team that is always hungry for success. Remember that when you take risk, it’s either you win or not. But never think you and your team didn’t get any value from it. There is learning and growing that happened when you made that step. Soft skills (based on personality) are as important as the hard skills (based on technical knowledge). This is the #1 problem that businesses face—they undermine its importance. Cultural architects are people who ‘carry’ the culture. They pass it on to people. They based their solutions and decisions on their identity. But be careful on choosing your own cultural architects so you get your desired outcome. Decision paralysis can be prevented if we limit the choices. Ambiguity is not good for your business. Communicate with them the top key things that they should focus to attain. Commitment Culture is the most sustainable type of culture; it results to a more guaranteed success. Commitment culture is having behaviours and a clear sense of purpose. Th 3 levels of Commitment are rationalisation, desperation, and inspiration. BEST MOMENTS “Talent is the first step in getting in an organisation—behaviour and culture are what keeps you there.” “My job is to almost help the coaches create that environment where people feel they can come in, flourish, and perform their best.” “How do you think you will get better and make great leaps of improvement if most of the performance are driven by the soft skills and you don’t spend enough time in that area?” “If you want to change the culture, you don’t need to change everybody—you just need a core group of cultural architects.” “It isn’t about confronting bad behaviours, it’s about rewarding good behaviours as well.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Liquid Thinker The Barcelona Way by Damian Hughes The Winning Mindset: What Sport Can Teach Us About Great Leadership ABOUT THE GUEST Professor Damian Hughes is an international speaker and bestselling author who combines his practical and academic background within sport, organisational development and change psychology, to help organisations and teams to create a high performing culture.

This is really just a pilot to see if I can do this quickly, efficiently and (most importantly of all) create something that people might actually listen to! In this episode, we talk about this, the new Mastering Portrait Photography website, what to expect and look forward. I talk about the reason I love this industry so much and how I got to photograph the late, great Sir Roger Bannister (of the first-four-minute-mile fame!)

In today's episode I highlight Sir Roger Bannister, the first man to run a 4-min mile, who became a prominent neurologist, and suffered late in life with Parkinson's disease.  Parkinson's disease is a progressively degenerative neurologic disorder characterized by progressive loss of dopaminergic neurons specifically in one area of the brain and abnormal aggregates of protein called LEWY bodies that develop inside nerve cells.  Parkinson's disease affects approximately seven million people globally and one million people in the United States. Parkinson's disease typically occurs in people over the age of 60 and about 1% of people over age 60 will be affected. Its cause is unknown. We commonly think of Parkinson's disease as motor dysfunction with a resting tremor, rigidity, bradykinesia and postural instability. The characteristic “pill-rolling” tremor in the hand is seen when the hand is at rest. The reason we are discussing Parkinson's disease in a urology podcast is that Parkinson's disease has non-motor dysfunction as well: cognitive, psychiatric, sleep, and autonomic dysfunction characterized as bladder, gastrointestinal and erectile dysfunction. Diagnosis of typical cases of Parkinson's disease is mainly based on symptoms, with tests such as neuroimaging being used to rule out other diseases. There is no cure for Parkinson's disease, with treatment directed at improving symptoms. It is the bladder and erectile dysfunction that will bring patients to the urologist. The primary complaints are urgency, frequency, and nocturia. The urinary symptoms are quite common, occurring in up to 90% of patients. Urinary urgency is the greatest bother for patients. Up to 50% of patients have urgency with urge incontinence. Further urinary symptoms result from external sphincter bradykinesia which is a delayed relaxation of the sphincter muscle during micturition. This delayed relaxation is different from other neurologic disorders where there is dyssynergia, an actual increase in activity of the muscle during micturition. In the initial evaluation of patients use of a validated urinary symptom score such as the IPSS or UDI–6 are valuable tools for screening patients, quantifying the extent of symptom bother initially, and in assessing success of instituted treatments. A comprehensive clinical history and physical examination are standard along with the validated questionnaires and when appropriate, a self-reported voiding diary. The most common finding on urodynamic testing in patients with Parkinson's Disease is detrusor overactivity but urodynamics are usually reserved for complex cases. Management is tailored to the individual depending on symptoms severity.  Anti-muscarinic medication should be considered first-line therapy for patients with overactive bladder symptoms and minimal post void residual after failure of behavioral therapy.  The concern with any anti-muscarinic agents is impaired bladder emptying therefore it is imperative to assess for adequacy of bladder emptying by post void residual before and after starting medication. Concerns regarding cognitive decline and postural instability with the use of non-selective agents should be addressed preferably with more selective medication.  Patient with refractory symptoms may be candidates for alternative secondary treatments: intradetrusor botox, posterior tibial nerve stimulation, intermittent self-catheterization in patients with large post void residuals and reasonable dexterity, or an indwelling catheter. Alpha-blocker therapy can help in some patients with sphincter function due to bradykinesia although careful attention must be paid to postural hypotension. Transurethral resection of the prostate has a high-risk of postoperative stress or urge urinary incontinence and can be considered only after careful evaluation. The prevalence of stress urinary incontinence in women with Parkinson's disease is unknown and can be difficult to manage. Urodynamic studies are critical prior to performing any surgery. Urethral bulking agents may be more appropriate because of a lower risk of postoperative voiding dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction and sexual dysfunction contributes to worsened quality-of-life for patients and partners. The exact reason why Parkinson's causes sexual dysfunction is not well understood but decreased libido and erectile and ejaculatory dysfunction in men and orgasmic dysfunction, coital incontinence and dyspareunia in women are all very common. Parkinson's disease is a debilitating disorder. Medicine has made progress in treating the symptoms of the disease, to be sure, but we have a long way to go to find a cure.

Tim Harford pays tribute to a sporting legend - Sir Roger Bannister, the first person to run one mile in less than 4 minutes, who has died at the age of 88. After his record broke the ‘impossible’ psychological barrier, motivational speakers claimed the power of positive thinking soon helped dozens of runners to break the four-minute record, but what are the true figures? A BBC investigation has found that a fake blog and fake social media accounts were created to support the campaign of the former Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff in the 2010 election, which she won. As Brazilians look forward to a presidential election later in 2018, Juliana Gragnani reports on her investigation. Why do segregated groups still exist, especially “men only” clubs? With the current drive towards gender equality and movements such as MeToo and Time’s Up, aren’t such forms of socialising out of date?

At (3:55) we talk about the word niche. Somehow, the subject does not change until (8:13) where we talk about the big wind storm. At (15:30) frequent studio guest Charlie Ban sits in on an interview with 2017 MCM champion Sarah Bishop. Sarah talks about her race, her previous relationship with running and what inspired her to get back into running, her approach to training including finding the time to run, coaching, and so much more. We are back at (51:58) with predictions and Charlie talks about his injury. At (54:50) we see if anyone notices that the hosts in studio change and Joanna talks about her upcoming already happened surgery. At (56:58) we talk about a Joanna article that was posted at Run Washington. AT (1:01:58) we talk a little about the Track and Field Championships and Joannas new gambling habit. At (1:10:29) we talk about the passing of running legend Sir Roger Bannister. We close out (1:16:53) with Docs talking about the Oscars which he did not plan to watch except they sucked him in with an Eddie Vedder performance.

With a recent heart health scare in a fit member of our training groups, we wanted to do this episode to discuss regular health maintenance for athletes. In it, we talk with a doctor from BaylorScott &White Health system in Austin, discussing what should you be doing annually to establish and maintain regular care with a primary care provider. Just because you can run for an hour or three hours doesn't mean you are bulletproof. Find a primary care provider and get checked. Plus, we talk about other things like nutrition, sleep, and supplements. By way of intro, we pay our respects to Sir Roger Bannister and then recap World Indoors, discussing who won the latest prediction contest between us.  Here are links referenced in the intro: Bannister Obituary: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/04/obituaries/roger-bannister-dead.html Gladwell article on Bannister: https://www.newyorker.com/news/postscript/the-ordinary-greatness-of-roger-bannister Sub 4 Video: https://twitter.com/AP_Sports/status/970287240810295296

After Sir Roger Bannister ran a mile in under four minutes, did positive thinking propel dozens to do the same?

CliffCentral.com — While Ben takes a little golfing break, he prepares a little look back into the life of Sir Roger Bannister for you. More than just a sportsman, the late Sir Roger changed the sport of athletics forever, and created one of the most iconic moments in sport - going under the 4 minute mile barrier. Ben recaps on this while also bringing you the latest from the world of rugby and cricket.

On Sunday, we learned that Sir Roger Bannister died peacefully in Oxford at the age of 88. Bannister made history on May 6, 1954 by becoming the first man to break four minutes for the mile. At the time, many deemed it an impossible feat. He went on to have a long medical career in neurology and was knighted in 1975. The British sports icon was also named the 1954 Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year – the first one in the magazine’s history. In 2011, senior writer David Epstein profiled Bannister for the “Where Are They Now” issue. After the story ran, Epstein and Bannister stayed in touch. We decided to give Epstein a call on Tuesday to get his thoughts on the passing of a legend and what it was like to befriend someone who inspired many on and off the track.

Sir Roger Bannister, one of the all-time greats of athletics and sports died today at his home in Oxford. Sir Roger was a great British hero and the first break the four-minute mile barrier that many said was impossible. They said the human body could not survive such a feat. Yet in the year that followed several other athletes also ran a sub 4 minute mile, and the Australian runner, John Landy, beat Bannister's record by 2 seconds the following month with a time of 3:57.9. This goes to show that when we have the belief that something is possible we go after it with a different attitude and more often than not achieve it. There are two things to remember about Bannister’s achievement. Firstly, it was no accident or stroke of luck. He set a goal to break the record, planned and worked his training regime and record breaking race down to the smallest detail. Secondly, it was his ironclad belief that help push him through that tape at under 4 minutes. In my forthcoming book, Yes, Money C

Sir Roger Bannister relives running the first sub-four-minute mile in a special podcast to mark the anniversary of his extraordinary achievement in May 1954. Sir Roger Bannister relives running the first sub-four-minute mile in a special podcast to mark the anniversary of his extraordinary achievement in May 1954. He describes his training and how the record-breaking run (3 minutes 59.4 seconds) unfolded at the Iffley Road track in Oxford. Sir Roger mentions other highlights from his athletic career, and explains how he developed as a runner while studying at Oxford, where he read medicine at Exeter and Merton. After retiring from running, Sir Roger focussed on his medical and academic career. He talks about his research interests and varied experiences, including his pioneering work on the autonomic nervous system, and focusing on heat illness when he was on army service in Aden. From 1985 to 1993, Sir Roger was Master of Pembroke in Oxford. As well as inspiring generations of runners, Sir Roger has also had a wider impact upon sport. When he was chairman of the Sports Council in the 1970s he introduced the first anabolic steroid tests for athletes. In 2017, Sir Roger was made a Companion of Honour for his services to sport.

Listen to John's 2003 interview at the home of his running hero ROGER BANNISTER - the world's first four minute miler. #RogerBannister #Sub4 #SubFour #Runner #FastestMile

When Englishman Roger Bannister was studying medicine at Oxford in the 1940's, he began to have great success as a member of the track team. He knew enough about physiology to question a long-held belief: that humans were simply not built to run a mile in less than four minutes. He was determined to shatter that myth, and he did. In this episode, Bannister describes how he developed his own unique approach to training, one that allowed him to very gradually improve speed, while leaving time for his studies in neuroscience. After eight years, he was ready. At a meet held in May of 1954, he stunned the world, running a mile in 3:59.4. It is considered one of the greatest athletic achievements of all time, alongside Sir Edmund Hillary's ascent of Mt. Everest.

Ever heard of the 'Bannister Effect'? Before 6 May 1954, it was thought 'impossible' to run a mile under four minutes...

The sub-4 minute mile...even 61 years after Sir Roger Bannister was the first to break that barrier, it is still the benchmark for fast running. Many excellent runners have tried, but the club is still a fairly exclusive one, reserved for the most talented, the hardest workers and the gutsiest racers. Both of my guests on today’s show have a lot in common...both grew up around the Toronto area, both went south of the border to chase fast competition in the NCAA and both have gone sub 4 already this year. Rob Denault, the Villanova Wildcat from Aurora, Ontario shares the good and the bad about running in the NCAA and Justyn Knight, talks about his journey from Vaughan, Ontario to his new home in Syracuse as an Orangeman.

Sir Roger Bannister became the first man to run a mile in under four minutes 60 ago. It's one of the most famous records of the 20th Century, one that the passage of time has shrouded in legend. Was the four-minute mile really considered an 'impossible' physical barrier? Are motivational speakers like Anthony Robbins right to claim that the year after it was broken, the power of positive thinking helped dozens of runners to break the four-minute barrier. More or Less speaks with Sir Roger Bannister to separate myth from reality and find out exactly what propelled him to his famous feat. This programme was first broadcast on the BBC World Service.

Libby Purves meets former athlete Sir Roger Bannister; professor of cybernetics Kevin Warwick; actor Rachael Stirling and writer Diana Darke. Kevin Warwick is a professor of cybernetics and deputy vice-chancellor for research at the University of Coventry. Since 1998 he has been implanting computer chips into his body, some directly communicating with his nervous system. He was dubbed the world's first cyborg when he had a silicon chip implanted in his arm and is currently attempting to get ethical approval to have a chip implanted into his brain. Sir Roger Bannister CBE is a former Olympic athlete who is best-known for being the first person to run the mile in under four minutes in 1954. In his new autobiography, Twin Tracks, Sir Roger tells the full story of the dedication and talent that led to his unprecedented achievement and of his professional life as a distinguished doctor and neurologist. Twin Tracks is published by Biteback. Diana Darke is a writer and translator who has specialised in the Middle East for over 30 years. In 2005 she bought and restored a house in the heart of Damascus. In September 2012, as fighting intensified and millions were forced to flee their homes, she offered her house as a sanctuary to Syrian friends. Up to 40 people continue to find refuge there today. My House in Damascus: An Inside View of the Syrian Revolution is published by Haus Publishing. Actor Rachael Stirling is currently starring in Mike Bartlett's new play, An Intervention, about two friends who make very different decisions in life. Her acting credits range from The Bletchley Circle and Tipping the Velvet on television to theatre productions The Recruiting Officer and An Ideal Husband. Intervention is at the Watford Palace Theatre. Producer: Paula McGinley.

After the announcement of the Team GB Athletics squad, 18-year old sprinter Adam Gemili spoke his joy and surprise at his inclusion; 800m runner Lynsey Sharp on her controversial selection despite recording only a B qualifying time this season, and hurdler Andy Turner expresses relief after being named in the squad. Breaking records and gaining glory is the aim of every Olympian but who will make history this year? Usain Bolt was the icon of the 2008 games but after being beaten by his training partner Yohan Blake at the Jamaican national trials and withdrawing from this month's Diamond League meet in Monaco, can the legendary sprinter return to Olympic glory? Eleanor Oldroyd speaks to Sir Roger Bannister about becoming the first man to run a mile in under four minutes in 1954. Finally, BBC Wales looks at the career of Wales' most successful Olympian, the Cardiff-born swimmer and water polo player Paulo Radmilovic.

Guest: Sir Roger Bannister, MD Host: Martin Samuels, MD Does overcoming defeat and reversal in sports lead to success in career? Joining host Dr. Martin Samuels is Sir Roger Bannister, who as a medical student in May, 1954, shattered a barrier in athletics that many believe stands as one of the greatest athletic accomplishments of the 20th century. But success did not come easily to Sir Roger. He and Dr. Samuels discuss breaking the record, and then choosing to retire as a running and begin his "real" career as a world class neurologist.

It was once thought to be impossible for any human being to run the distance of a single mile in less than four minutes.  Roger Bannister knew that if he focused on the task, if he used both his medical knowledge and physical abilities in a good and effective training program he could break the four minute barrier, and accomplish the impossible.  This is his story.

As a follow up to my detailed account of breaking the Guinness world Speedgolf record, I discuss how, on the day of my record attempt, I experienced a flashback to my high school track days. Relaxing in my childhood bedroom before heading to the golf course, for the evening attempt, I reflected on doing the same thing—killing time relaxing after school and before heading to track and cross country meets. Well, “after school” often came at midday, as I would ditch afternoon classes on account of pre-race nervousness. Indeed, back then I would feel a profound sense of dread and negativity, fearful of the pain involved in distance racing and anxious about the outcome. Speaking of pain, when I raced in high school I didn’t realize the severe burning of the lungs and coughing for hours afterward was not due to the effort, but due to the terrible smog in Los Angeles at the time. This only became clear after my first collegiate meet on the oceanfront course and pristine air at UCSB! As a young runner, my self-esteem and sense of belonging was tied to my athletic success. While this serves as a significant source of external motivation, it’s not as effective as cultivating a process-oriented approach. A results-oriented mentality can easily be shaken by failure to the extent that competitors in any area of life get discouraged and give up instead of persevere. I relate how I felt those same nervous butterflies before my Speedgolf effort, but only in the positive sense of striving for a fun peak performance goal, with a light-hearted approach. I had trained very hard and was highly interested in breaking the world record, but without the unhealthy dynamics of having self-esteem tied to outcome. This represents the ideal peak performance mentality, best captured by a beautiful quote from the late Sir Roger Bannister (first man to break the four-minute mile): “The essence of sports is that while you're doing it, nothing else matters, but after you stop, there is a place, generally not very important, where you would put it.” While I’m committed to getting over myself per show mission statement, I also strive to keep the competitive fire burning and have ambitious peak performance goals that hopefully inspire you too. Consequently, the place generally not very important where I put my Speedgolf World Record performance is on YouTube, baby! Hit the link and make it viral!

Enjoy my summary of Dr. Robert Lustig's excellent book, The Hacking Of The American Mind. Sir Roger Bannister said, “Struggle gives meaning and richness to life.” But what happens without struggle? In our world, our minds are constantly being hijacked by profit-seeking, corporate entities delivering instant pleasure at the expense of long-term happiness and contentment. Humans are hard-wired to respond to novel stimulation, and our modern, high-tech existence has left us addicted to instant gratification pleasures, at the expense of enjoying our lives. Companies know this well, so they prey on our need for instant gratification by satisfying that need, through the products they’re trying to sell. What you have to watch out for is overdoing things in pursuit of the next dopamine rush...because that is when it becomes actually destructive, and it diminishes our ability to feel happy and content with our lives. So, what exactly is capable of hacking our minds? Sugar, digital technology, caffeine, drugs (from street drugs to weed) as well as prescription drugs, like antidepressants and pain pills. When you indulge in any of these, you hack your dopamine pathway, *which is really like cheating your way to feeling better.* Obviously, while this may make you feel better in the moment, this only hurts you in the long run, because you’re putting a Band-Aid over a bullet hole. It’s like the acne drug, Accutane. Sure, you can take it, but it’s never going to address the root of the cause, which could be a leaky gut, hormone imbalance, eating the wrong foods and/or using the wrong products. Still, thousands and thousands of people sign their life away in order to be able to get this drug. It takes an intense toll on your body, and then your skin clears up for a little...but then, a year or two later,  it starts to break out again….and then, like many Accutane users report, they’ve got to go back on the medication. It’s the same concept - you can’t just try a short-term solution - *you have to deal with the problem, not the symptoms that arise out of the said problem.* Another hugely popular stimulant, especially among young men, are video games and pornography. And it’s no wonder, considering they both offer a massive dopamine payoff that seems to be almost perfectly tailored to the male biological drive to “master one’s environment.” Research does suggest that playing video games can offer some positive benefits in terms of brain function because it prompts the user to build certain skills and make decisions quickly. But, ultimately, too much screen time, as well as reacting to, and engaging with an artificial environment, is never going to anyone any favors. Rather, you get a numbed mind, and a (temporary) soother for whatever it is you’re trying to ignore. Chronic exercise is probably one thing you didn’t expect to see on this list, but it is a serious issue many people deal with. Unfortunately, people can become addicted to the high they get from working out. This is a lesson I’ve had to learn: how to appropriately balance stress and rest. Of course exercise is healthy, but be careful of crossing that line: when you start to make unhealthy decisions and push your body too far in pursuit of that next dopamine hit, that is when you know you’ve run into trouble: when you’ll do anything to get that high, no matter the consequences. Obviously, we can’t talk about this issue without mentioning social media, one of the biggest culprits here. The problem with social media is that you can’t pick and choose what comes into your orbit - you go on Facebook or Instagram with the intention of reaching out to one specific person, but then you’re bombarded by all this reactive stimulus. This problem has become even worse considering how prevalent ads are on social media apps these days. Are you familiar with the term *neuro-marketing* ? Basically, corporate America has essentially imprisoned us in a loop of endless desire and suffering, with no obvious escape out of this destructive cycle. And why would they want us to escape? That would mean they can’t continue making more money - which is why these corporations exist in the first place. I won’t be calling out any specific brands, but think about all the packaged foods you see every day in grocery stores, the pre-prepared food that you know is filled with bad oils and tons of sugar. It’s not like companies think their product is healthy - quite the opposite, in fact. They just don’t care. There’s a reason why Americans are so plagued by cognitive diseases. Did you know that all cognitive diseases are marked by dysfunctional glucose metabolism? That’s why Alzheimer’s and dementia are also considered to be “Type III diabetes.”  When anyone experiences cognitive decline, it’s a huge load placed on the person suffering from the diseases as well as their family members. You would think that these companies, knowing what their “food” does to human health, would be ashamed and embarrassed to produce such a product. But not in America, where profit is the #1 driving force behind everything! And hey, making (and keeping) people sick means that pharmaceutical companies can extract even more money out of sick people! On the bright side, smoking rates have decreased as wellness and healthy eating have gained more and more popularity in the states. But the bad side is, in turn, tobacco and soda and soft drink companies have switched their focus to pushing their capitalist agenda on smaller, less developed countries. Real nice! Once you become aware of the ways that corporate America tries to insidiously hack both your mind and your bank account, you can take some of your power back. Knowledge is power, and this show will open your eyes and your mind to the bigger picture, and empower you to take a personal stand against all the American companies that are trying to give you your next dopamine rush, all so you’ll buy into what they’re selling. Remember the power you hold as the consumer (or as one who doesn’t consume!). And it’s not just consuming anything tangible or physical - it’s also about being hyper-vigilant about what comes into your space and into your mind, especially since what affects the mind manifests in the body as well. Once you know how certain stimuli affect your body, you can decide what you’re going to do about it, instead of just passively reacting to it. *TIMESTAMPS:* American corporations are trying to hijack our dopamine pathways to make profit [6:50].
