I had decided that I was going to start them this week, but reading your post has made me reconsider.
I am currently reading a book about those that were the first to break the 4:00 minute mile and the training they did was insane. Bannister for 2 months only ran intervals. Everyday, no rest days. That is pain. He was also a medical student at the time and putting in 16 hour days at the hospital.

I was intending to add that, as I believe I've read that book.
Mike, what's your problem if Bannister could do it in the fifties, why can't you do it now?
Jim Ryan once had a workout of 40 x 400s under a minute. I cannot imagine that much pain.
