The one big secret to doing more than you think you can
By Mark van Dijk
Picture it: Oxford University, May 6, 1954. The Iffley Road running track. Roger Bannister has just become the first person in the world to run a mile (1.6km) in less than four minutes.
Before this achievement, the four-minute mile was thought to be impossible. You’d have to run at 15 miles (24km) per hour, they said. It couldn’t be done, they said.

Going for walks, exercising and being surrounded by friends and family are all things that make her feel good, too, she said.
