For many decades, it was said that it was physiologically impossible to run a mile under four minutes.
On May 6th, 1954, Roger Bannister defied the odds by completing the mile run in 3:59.4.
Barely a month later, John Landy from Turku, Finland finished in 3:57.9
Shortly after that, the record was broken again… and again, with the fastest time currently standing at 3:43.13 held by Hicham El Guerrouj.
Let’s Go 2 Work.
Most limits are mental before they become physical.
Put another way, the things stopping you is often just a bunch of bullshit in your head put there by people who don’t know shit.
Because so called experts proclaimed that running a mile under four minutes just wasn’t attainable, society accepted that belief and trained in a way that confirmed the assumption. But once one person showed that it could be done, people’s belief system changed, and the impossible was proven possible year after year.
What’s the impossible 3-minute mile run in your life?
What mental limits are stopping you from being great and where did those ceilings come from?
Perhaps once upon a time some “expert” said you couldn’t be who you wanted to be or do what you wanted to do. And maybe you believed them, so, you trained yourself to perform below average. Because the audacity of you to walk around like you was made in my lord’s image, right?
Well…FUCK the “experts.”
It’s a new day, fresh out the package!
A new day to change your limiting beliefs.
A new day to stop caring bout’ what the “experts” think and start caring bout’ what YOU think.
And it’s a new day to start working towards your own 3:59.4.
