four-minute mile
walker became the first man in history to run 100 sub-4 minute miles in 1985, achieving that feat just before fellow miler steve scott of the united states. there was some controversy around this as scott claimed there was an agreement that the two would race each other, with the winner being the first to claim 100 sub-4 minute miles. walker denied such an agreement existed.
