PHNOM PENH ATHLETICS CLUB

Three athletes improved their times by a margin of over 10% which is a huge jump in performance but even small improvements are a great achievement - as you reach closer to your potential, every little improvement is more and more of a challenge! This week we had three athletes with good pacing consistency scores between 1.4...
