Great Birmingham Run

SPR Oct 2013 11:37pm, 22 Oct 2013 18823 posts	0 SPR lol. Running style or just the way she pushed on? Watching the TV coverage, Gemma was constantly looking at her watch which I found odd. Even in the last 800m, she must have looked at it about 5 times! At that point surely it is just a distraction from running as fast as you can? That said, it was evident that Gemma was working hard and looked very focused in person and on TV.

Got something to say?
