THE BARRIER BREAKERS

The Time to Beat

It’s been 70 years since Roger Bannister charged past the mile mark in under four minutes. In the same month, just days later, a lesser-known but equally impressive achievement was made when Diane Leather became the first woman to break five minutes for the same distance. These records encompassed the indomitable drive and diligence of the committed amateur, qualities that lead us to breaking personal barriers alongside world records, setting the path of runners for decades to come.

This year, we’re acknowledging Diane’s feat with a
special collection releasing on the 70th anniversary of the milestone on the 29th of May.
