The Mutton Mile


One of the first challenges I conjured up, but I saved it’ til May – the 6th of May to be precise – as this is the date that Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile.

The sub 2 hour marathon is so impressive, but I think the 4 minute mile will always be the pinnacle of barriers. Even now, 70 years later, it’s an incredible milestone that only 2349 people have achieved.

What an achievement

The Challenge

Run the 800m out and back From South Park to Mutton Island as fast as possible.

The ultimate goal is sub 5 minute, but I’m not there yet.
