The Four Minute MacAulays

Jeff Zycinski | 11:57 UK time, Wednesday, 20 February 2008

Fred and friends

Former Olympic gold medalist, Alan Wells, says it can't be done. But Fred MacAulay and friends are determined to prove him wrong....and all in aid of Sport Relief.

What are they up to? Nothing less than an attempt to break the four minute mile, but by using sixteen runner who all have to do one hundred metres each.

Today I played the role of official spectator as Fred and fifteen of ´óÏó´«Ã½ Radio Scotland's finest backroom boys and girls staged their first practise run. They didn't break the four minute barrier this mroning, but I'm told one or two of them put in fantastic performances.

More on this soon!
