Harwell Running Club's attempt on the world 1500m record

On 6th August 1992, during the Barcelona Olympics, we combined forces and tried to beat Said Aouita's then world record of 3:29.46 for 1500m. And we did it, recording 3:18.7! Needing to run 56-second laps, we managed an admirably consistent 37.2 (for three-quarters of a lap), 53.6, 53.9, 54.0s. Thanks to Martin Wall, Gareth Smith and Angwin Marples for time-keeping and to Martin Ricketts for the photos.
