ReplyDeleteJohn,you will have to correct you fastest mile list.John Hartnett(Ballyhooly)ran 3:54:07 in 1973 setting a then Irish record which was also faster than the British record.
ReplyDeleteI should have clarified...Ciarán is now 4th on the alltime indoor list.
ReplyDeleteOn the combined list of indoor and outdoor, Ciarán is now 6th and John Hartnett is 12th. (3:54.7)
