Cooper Teare stormed to a British Milers' Club 1500m record of 3:33.96 in Bury in north-west England on Saturday (Aug 10) and then demonstrated his sense of humour by pointing out his training partner, Cole Hocker, had enjoyed a slightly more glamorous achievement by winning the Olympic title in Paris in the same week.
