    How would his average speed have compared to the 1500 metre world record at that time?

    Roger Bannister 1,609.344 metres 1954 3:59.4.

    I suppose if anybody could be bothered to work it out

    3:43.0 Werner Lueg (FRG) 1952-06-29 Berlin, Germany

    if my reading of it is correct these two are 1500 times taken from a mile event.
    3:42.8+ Wes Santee (USA) 1954-06-04 Compton, United States
    3:41.8+ John Landy (AUS) 1954-06-21 Turku, Finland
