Our first ever Mile Track Race saw 8 dedicated athletes set off for a prompt 6:25 AM start in cool conditions with all completing the 4 laps (+ 9 metres - total 1609m) in 5-9 minutes. We had a great mix of participants with various levels, age ranges, and backgrounds, showcasing both great commitment and concentration levels to produce good quality performances!
The race report and full results are below.
See you soon for more fun training sessions and athletics events and
challenges!
Results
There were impressive performances all round, considering this was a first
attempt at this event for almost all the runners! In the final results
Soboros, Jack and Meyjou were the category leaders this week, and everyone
completed the event strongly, setting benchmarks for future attempts at
middle distance running 👏.
In general athletes paced their efforts very well across the four laps, though most set off faster than they could maintain for the whole race! We also had some quick finishes, with Sihareach and Meyjou who closed the home straight in 17.5 & 18.0s 100m pace respectively! With more practice and experience athletes will learn how to run at the best pace during the whole race to maximise their performance.
We also got times for 1500 meters, and everyone should be able to run a bit faster in a separate 1500 meter race!
