Had to smile at the photo's of the end of the very first sub 4 minute mile. Middle aged / elderly gents in calf length mackintoshes, sitting on stools alongside the cinder track holding stop watches and never a grouse about 'accuracy'. But we must not forget his pace makers, Chris Chataway & Chris Brasher who, literally, ran themselves into the ground.
