Thread: 15 miles per hour (24.14 km/h, or 2:29.13 per kilometre for four minutes

His funeral will be held Friday at 3.59pm.

I heard him being interviewed on radio a few years ago.
He said that he hoped he would be remembered for his work as a neurologist rather than for his athletics achievement. He believed that his contribution to neurology was much more important.
Somehow I don't think his wish will be granted.

Run into a gent today who was patting my dog. Chatting it turned up he had run two marathons. His son on the is a bit better than most runners and as a 12 year old he ran 10km in 32 minutes - He will be an olympian - For Singapore rather than Oz I think! I ran a PB marathon in Melbourne a few years ago. His son running the same day did the 5km in just over 15 minutes aged just 15.

I could not help but think 3.13minute pace the young guy got in that 10km or about 3.03 5km PB he has for 5km (Current World record is 2:31/Km ) is still a mile off Mr Banister 2:29. Mr Banister mile is a bit shorter than 5km of course. I would be almost willing to bet the young gent will crack the 4m mile before he is 25 years old. If your running around Latrobe Uni and feel a flash go past it might be him His dad saddly is not running any longer.

Awesome times.......I’m about to head off on a 10k run and hoping to stay under 5:20 k’s

5:10’s happy enough with that
