He broke the 4 min record in May 1954 and retired in Dec 1954 to pursue what would turn out to be a distinguished career in medicine (neurology). This is worth reading and contains a video of "The Miracle Mile" which took place in BC while Vancouver was hosting the 1954 Empire Games: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/04/obituaries/roger-bannister-dead.html Fatty Liver 1
