Burnham-Clacton Pier mile run challenge, Nigel Farage, Count Binface & the rest
In earlier blog posts about my nomination in the Clacton by-election, I suggested that running for office should involve some real running.
The incumbent candidate presents himself as a champion of the imperial units of measure and the contest to be the first person to run one mile under four minutes was a legendary grudge match between and Englishman and an Australian.
In honour of the effort exerted by Roger Bannister and John Landy, I sat comfortably at my desk looking at the screen and trying to work out the best route to run a mile finishing at the world famous Clacton Pier.
What I found came as a shock: the mile starts at Burnham Court, aptly named for the new Prime Minister of the UK, Andy Burnham.
I put it to the other candidates and the media and we'll see whether anybody wants to give it a go.
