Today is Wednesday, August 6th, 2025 and on this day in 1958, 5 men ran a mile in under 4 minutes, with the winner setting a new world record of 3:54.3

In this episode, we learn about those 5 men - Herb Elliott, Ronnie Delany, Murray Halberg, Merv Lincoln, and Albie Thomas - plus Billy Morton, the man who made the race possible, and whose legacy led to the annual Morton Games, still held in that very stadium.

This episode and every single other was edited and produced by my good friend Rob Garcia, who many know by his own ⁠⁠⁠⁠podcast "Rob on the Run"⁠⁠⁠⁠. If you are looking to get into the podcasting or Youtube space, but need some help on the technical side, I HIGHLY suggest reaching out to Rob. His email is [email protected]
