Ever wanted to brag that you could beat Jonah Lomu in a race? You can provided you can get him to take you on over three kilometres. News from the Wellington Hurricanes training camp confirmed that the gargantuan All Black could only post a time of 17 minutes 35 seconds for the run. That's about a nine minute mile. Wouldn't win the GOAL mile would he?

Lest anyone get too carried away, the same Lomu managed to run 50 metres in 5.83 seconds and in strength tests out-shone the front and back-rows.
