The years 1953-54 marked the conquests of 2 unattainable peaks - Mt Everest and the Four Minute Mile. This is the story of the long quest for the 'Magic Mile', almost 200 years in the making. The methods the runners used, the secrets they uncovered, were passed through the generations, until the quest reached its climax on the 6th May 1954.
