Extracts
from an interview with Roger Bannister
In
the Olympic year of 2004 there has been many memorable athletic
moments. The names El Guerrouji, Bekele, Kipchoge, and Sihine
continually appear and they are the pioneers of world athletics
continually extending the barriers of human performance. Fifty
years ago an intelligent and thoughtful young man Roger Bannister
ran himself into immortality by being the first ever person
to run four laps consecutively under sixty seconds, a sub four
minute mile

Exlusive
interview with Derek Graham for Annadale Striders - Part 2
"Hey
son you are over striding you will never make it as a runner".
Often in our day-to-day lives we make simple observations, some
are accurate some not so. In the case of Derek Graham this was
terribly inaccurate!
Before
I interviewed Derek Graham I was fairly conversant with the
pedigree of the man; sub 4-minute miler, Olympic representative,
and 2nd in the International Cross Country. However, I came
away from the interview privileged to have spent a few hours
with an immensely talented and such a natural athlete....

interest to all athletes.
