gderoux Chris Hoy said about the kilo (4 laps of a velodrome) to go out faster than you think you should then just hold on until the end. I applied this strategy to the mile today and it paid off. I'm really pleased with my time and the best thing is that the conditions were so bad, I can probably go faster. Horsforth Harriers 5:49 5:49 5:59 5:49 65.57

Lapsed Athlete I'm determined to get sub 8.30 after my last effort.

Don't know how I managed to get 8.18 as I've felt lousy most of the week and didn't feel great whilst running but heh if I can get that when I'm not on form what can I do when I am ..... we'll hopefully see in YFM 3 :-) Unaffiliated 8:18 8:18 8:29 8:18 50.92
