  • Coined as the "Battle of Britain" (by us) - the Men's 1500m Final is one of the most competitive events on the UK calendar. After successfully qualifying from his heat, Callum lines up in biblical conditions to pit himself against the best middle-distance runners in the country.

    Brilliant mate, what a race, I watched it live and was rooting for you and adam (fogg)... big improvements in a year buddy, more to come!

    Small margins, Callum. You were closing at the finish so 1.6sec to Gourley is impressive. The immediate awareness of why you were not in closer contention 500m out (boxed in/applied acceleration) shows you are smart enough to work on this. It bodes well.

      Thanks mate - identifying is the first step, working on it a bit harder! Small margins but great motivation.

    Great perspective post race. I think you are right about strength development and being able to go from 300 out. Keep working at it

    Good insight. Interesting that the result and current UK rankings correlate exactly of those who ran down to your place. As you said though you were a lot closer in time in the race to the differences in time in the rankings.

    • @the.distanceproject
      @the.distanceproject  Před 11 měsíci

      Definitely… I mean in a slow race you’re bound to finish closer of course, but still some good takeaways!

  • @TumoRuns
    @TumoRuns Před 11 měsíci +3

    In the mix lad. Echo your comments in the vid, if you can start to wind it a bit further out you’re on the same playing field with 200 to go. It’s all in the right direction!!

    Great race to watch....I thought you gave them too much of a headstart in the final lap to have a real go! You should have gone with the Foggdog! Given the speed of the race, I thought Giles was going to win it, with his 800m speed, but Gourley's 5000m strength and being more experienced at the 1500m than Giles proved more decisive. On TV the weather looked doable, but in your video, the reality was much worse. Anyway it's a process and you're going in the right direction. I wish I could run as well as you do, but I am way too old for that.

    • @the.distanceproject
      @the.distanceproject  Před 11 měsíci +1

      Thanks for watching! It’s always harder than it looks to just “go with it” - whether it be a pacer or others in a race. 53s last lap is the fastest I’ve ever closed a race so that’s progress! Thanks again 🫡
