		Chris Chataway’s first job on leaving Oxford University was with Guinness, but he soon decided he needed rather more excitement, and made up his mind to enter politics in due course.
		For Chris Chataway, ITV’s Opening Night, on 22nd September 1955, was in some ways reminiscent of an athletic event.
		It was Chataway and Day’s understanding that the template for ITN’s presentation of the news was to be based around the American concept of ‘newscasters’, who were personally responsible for what they said on-air.

		Chris Brasher, who was to win the 1956 Olympic 3,000 metres steeplechase and found the London marathon, was in charge of the first 880 yards.
		Chris Chataway, a future government minister who broke the world 5,000 metres record later that year, was to take over for the crucial third lap.
		Chataway brought the field through three laps in a fraction over three minutes, leaving Bannister to run the final 300 yards on his own, noisily encouraged by a crowd of 1,200.

		He had been narrowly elected as a as Conservative to the London County Council in 1958 in Lewisham North, and was then selected to stand for Parliament in the same seat.
		This was an odd move; it was ordered by Edward Heath who wanted to block the right-wing councillor Seton Forbes-Cockell from taking the post.

	Running the Race @ ie:missional
		The effort was to work this way: Brasher and Chataway were to run as pace runners to help Bannister, who had the best shot at breaking the time barrier, run at a consistent 1 minute per lap for 3 laps keeping enough in reserve to run a final lap of 59 seconds.
		Chris Brasher was a steeplechase runner and not really the kind of distance runner that had a legitimate shot at that record.
		Chris Chataway was a world class distance runner and, if memory serves, eventually ran a sub-four minute mile himself.

	Chris Brasher - Telegraph
		Chris Brasher, who died yesterday aged 74, was a central figure in British athletics for more than 40 years after acting as pacemaker to Roger Bannister when he ran the first mile in under four minutes.
		As soon as the time was announced, Bannister grabbed Brasher and Chataway - "and together we scampered round the track in a burst of spontaneous joy", he later recalled.
		The next morning the two met the British press corps for a "liquid lunch" from which Brasher, considerably the worse for wear, had to rush in order to be in time to receive his medal.

		Chataway, who had trained himself loyally for the purpose of driving Bannister through the first three-quarters of a mile in exactly three minutes, fulfilled this role in the drama perfectly.
		After Chris Brasher had set a blazing pace for first half mile, Chataway then raced stride for stride with Bannister and they passed the three-quarter mile in #:00.7.
		Chataway hung on gamely until 300 yeards from the end, and then fell back to finish in 4.07.02.

		At the bell, Chataway was still a little in front of Bannister and one had to wait again for the back stretch to see a new and decisive phase in the race unfold itself.
		Chataway also gained his fame in the autumn of 1954 setting a World 5000m record, and two years on Brasher was crowned Olympic Steeplechase champion.
		Bannister and his famous pacemakers Chris Chataway and Chris Brasher had been carefully prepared by their coach Franz Stampfl, but they still needed to take a great leap of faith to turn what had been a dream into reality.

	Unofficial London Olympics 2012 - 1954 - Chris Chataway breaks 5000m world record
		Roger Bannister's historic run was in May 1954, yet Chris Chataway's world 5000 metres record, a victory over Vladimir Kuts at London's White City on October 13 that year, usurped Bannister in the public conscious.
		The difference, perhaps, is that Chataway raced in a match between London and Moscow, live on Eurovision.
		In between these races, Chataway took 5000m silver in the European Champion-ships, splitting Kuts and Emil Zatopek, but he was 12 seconds behind the winner who broke the world record in the first sub 14-minute run.

		Chris Brasher will be 72 next month, reaching the time in life when each candle must stand for a decade and the grandchildren should be helping him to blow them out.
		Chataway would soon establish himself as a middle-distance runner of the highest class, but in the public's mind, Brasher existed only as Bannister's faithful pacemaker.
		Before the starter sounded the gun, Disley turned to Brasher: "Chris, if I don't win, I hope you do." Not fully recovered from an earlier illness, Disley was short of his best and even though he wished his friend well, he didn't seriously believe Brasher would do it.

		What Chris conveniently forgot to mention in his account was that he gave us no warning that he was to leave us north of Bellingham to go up to the Old Man of Hoy for the filming of a TV programme involving Joe Brown climbing up the vertical rock.
		Chris was there covering the Games for 'The Observer' and, because he wanted to travel on to an Orienteering event in Czechoslovakia afterwards, he had driven to Munich in his camper van.
		Chris was kind enough to turn the conversation into an article in 'The Observer', to appear the day after the race which in those days was held on a Saturday afternoon.

		While Bannister, Chataway and Brasher trained in London, the difficulties that Hulatt had to overcome were considerable.
