I saw this on post Twitter a while ago, and immediate could relate to this workout, as I did this during the dark wet cold days of the English winter! Especially during the Pandemic of 2020-2021! I still do the occasional indoor spin bike workout.

Let's review the 2024 Woman's 400m Roma European Championships. To me, it was one of the greatest 400m races that year, male or female. We already know the outcome, but let's have a deeper dive in analysing the splits & race execution. Let's see who has the great 200m speed and speed reserve. On paper, Adeleke has a 0.62 second PR advantage in the 200m over Kaczmarek (now Bukowiecka), showing incredible speed.

I've been asked this question a lot, so it's best I write them down. 16 teams will qualify for both Men's & Women's 4x100m and 4x400m relay, as well as the Mixed 4x400. The Olympics or World Championships will have 2 semi-finals using a Top 3 (Q), and next 2 fastest times (q) for advancement to the Finals. There are 3 ways to make the 16 team cut:

If you're a Master runner, or thinking of running Masters track, read this article. Rules are rules, so you better know them. Here are 5 points that come to mind: Seeds, Advancement, and Lanes Age grouping 3 point Starting position False Starts, Lane Infringement & Yellow cards Uniforms (or Kit) Now, the first point I disagree with. The other 4 points, I agree & support the rules.

Part 2 will visit Marathon and the original starting line of the famed 40km run (now 42.195km) to Athens, and Part 3 will visit Ancient Olympia. If you are going to Athens, then as a Track & Field fan you must visit the original the Panathenaic Stadium, site of the 1896 Olympic Games. Here are some logistics I will cover in this summary:

This is a quick post on the 2 differences between the "official 300mH" event recognised by World Athletics (on March 25, 2025). For Masters men, the 400mH is replaced by the 300mH at M60 (which is good news for me, if I ever decide to hurdle! More on that later!) 400mH, 300mH, and 300mH USA High School hurdle spacing The current world record for the 300m hurdles is 33.26 by Karsten Warholm in 2021.

I've worn an Apple iWatch (Model 6) everyday for over 3 years now. As I've mentioned numerous times before, you can't improve what you don't measure. Here are the 6 important metrics from my Apple Watch that you can monitor to ensure your training is at optimal performance (I'm sure Android watches have similar features): Workout Max HR Forget the 220 - Age = MaxHR formula.

I have to admit, this was one of the better interviews with Usain Bolt. Jake and Damian of the High Performance podcast & YouTube channel did a wonderful job interviewing the World's Fastest Man (as of October 2024, he still is the fastest!) On Youtube: Here is a quick summary of the interview with Usain Bolt: Early Career & Challenges:

Just as the 400 Hurdles experienced a dramatic lowering of times in both Men’s and Women’s races from 2020 through 2024, the Men’s 800m event witnessed more sub 1:42 times (11) than all the years prior to 2024.

Easter is here. If you never watched The Ten Commandments starring Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner, it's a very good movie, even though it was released in 1956. It doesn't matter what your Faith is, I highly recommend watching the film, for "historical" puposes. If not, then watch it for entertainement.
