I wouldn't think this would be achievable for me - it's far too long a distance :P Now, on the other hand sub 24 seconds for 200m is much more of a goal for this year...

Agree sLickster looks like after 250 metres you are blowing out of your Ar*e according to the stats :¬)

LOL I know Gobi, but I also know there are some fast track boys on here so it's worth a try. That would be a great time mate, good luck or if you don't get to do any races good luck to your chaps!

P.E. yeah thats basically it but even a 4 min mile now a days doesn't seem to be that good!

Nice one sLick :) I wouldn't mind having a go at some flat out 200m and 400m races this season.
