Roger Bannister Quotes

It’s a question of spreading the available energy, aerobic and anaerobic, evenly over four minutes. If you run one part too fast, you pay a price. If you run another part more slowly your overall time is slower Picture Quote #1

May is a very early time in the year and the weather is usually bad. You cannot run a fast mile race if there is a strong wind, because it makes your running uneven Picture Quote #1

My athleticism was really the core to social acceptance, because in those days the overwhelming number of students came from more of a public school background than I did Picture Quote #1

My concentration was really on getting to university and becoming a doctor. My parents let me know that school marks were important. Achievement was something which came by hard work Picture Quote #1

My family actually lived in the same village for about 400 years. They had great stability until the last century. People lived and intermarried in small villages Picture Quote #1

You get very tired, and there was a certain amount of pain and you slow up. Your legs are so tired that you are in fact slowing. If you don’t keep running, keep your blood circulating, the muscles stop pumping the blood back and you get dizzy Picture Quote #1

Just because they say it’s impossible doesn’t mean you can’t do it Picture Quote #1

Our house was bombed, and the roof fell in. We were sitting under the stairs of the basement, and we were quite safe, but it brought home the realization. In two nights 400 people were killed in small town Picture Quote #1

Every time I ran the mile I was aware of my own weakness, there was some opponent who could give me a hell of a fight, so I never went into a race with a sense of invincibility. I always had that feeling of fragility and nerves which made me run faster Picture Quote #1

No longer conscious of my movement, I discovered a new unity with nature. I had found a new source of power and beauty, a source I never dreamt existed Picture Quote #1

To move into the lead means making an act requiring fierceness and confidence. But fear must play some part... no relaxation is possible, and all discretion is thrown into the wind Picture Quote #1

The man who goes on, even when it’s the hardest to be the winner Picture Quote #1

The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the man who will win Picture Quote #1

If a man coaches himself, then he has only himself to blame when he is beaten Picture Quote #1

Sport is not about being wrapped up in cotton wool. Sport as about adapting to the unexpected and being able to modify plans at the last minute. Sport, like all life, is about taking risks Picture Quote #1

If I faltered, there would be no arms to hold me and the world would be a cold and forbidding place Picture Quote #1

The reason sport is attractive to many of the general public is that it’s filled with reversals. What you think may happen doesn’t happen. A champion is beaten, an unknown becomes a champion Picture Quote #1

The human spirit is indomitable. No one can ever say you must not run faster than this or jump higher than that. There will never be a time when the human spirit will not be able to better existing records Picture Quote #1

The essence of sports is that while you’re doing it, nothing else matters, but after you stop, there is a place, generally not very important, where you would put it Picture Quote #1

Your spikes, which were really quite long then, would catch the material of the track and your shoe would get heavier. I was simply filing them down and rubbing some graphite on the spikes. I thought I would run more effectively Picture Quote #1
