A few days ago, I put up a post about David McCarthy (3:55) and John Coghlan (3:59) running sub four minutes in an indoor mile race in the US. While I was looking for info on it, I came across this old video from 1983.
Eamonn Coghlan was at the time one of the best middle distance runners in the world and this video clip shows the Chairman of the Boards setting what was then a new indoor mile world record of 3:49.78. That record would last for 14 years and still remains the second fastest indoor mile of all time.
