Life Changing Mindset

What is the anecdote about the 4 minute mile & the power of positive thinking?

I am being interviewed for a radio program and would like to tell this anecdote as it relates to the topic. It is something like this: for many years running the mile in under four minutes was thought to be physically impossible until someone (Robert Banning?) did it. Within weeks or months several other people did the same, the reason being they now knew that it could be done. The barrier was a mental one not a physical one.
A local radio breakfast program is coming to my work to interview us about our business. Its a free promotion that airs twice weekly in Campbelltown and we have been invited to be on it.
We have transition to school classes for preschoolers designed to teach them to have the confidence to accept challenges and believe in their own abilities by giving them the opportunity to succeed in early literacy & numeracy tasks.
But I googled and got the info! It was Roger Bannister by the way

1. I don't know the answer but I am curious what your radio show interview is gonna be about. Maybe you could edit and tell us a little about what you are doing.

2. If im not wrong, there was one another factor that made him to break that record.. his aussie/russian (??) counterpart who had a sporty rivalry with him, chasing him down the line. Within a week, his new record was broken by 1 whole minute, by his rival. So i guess there are few things that work out in life that make us super humans even without our knowledge.. for eg: Bannister wouldnt have thought of breaking the 4 min barrier but just to beat his rival. And the record came along, its a bonus. So i will add "movivation" to your list.
