Our village has possibly the fastest ever recorded mile run. In fact, I ran that exact stretch on Sunday (albeit at more like 8:30 pace):
"Once you've done vacuuming the dog would you like to break the world mile record? You can't? Sure you can. We just need to revive the Meltham Maniac Mile. The record for this race is 3 mins 24 seconds. The world record for the mile is currently 3 mins 43 seconds and a few smidgeons. The secret to the Meltham Mile was that it was entirely downhill, dropping 400 feet from start to finish. Though the race is now defunct, nothing but common sense and self preservation can stop you from going there and giving it a try. Find the route as follows: Six miles South West of Huddersfield, on the B6108. It's a one-mile stretch from the cattle grid on the moor above Meltham to the Popley Butts sign. And remember you need dedication, dedication, dedication, that's what you need, if you want to be a record breaker, yeah. "
