For the last 3.5 years I have been training under middle distance coach, Ben Norton (Ontrack running) in Brisbane. During this time, I have mainly been training for 800m whilst also competing in a few 400m and 1500m. Our squad is a very close tightknit group, with most of us specialising in middle distance events. Check out of Instagram for regular post, run from our seniors! (@ontrackrun)
Few names in middle distance running get people talking more than Alan Webb. The ridiculously talented American was the first high school athlete in American history to break the four-minute mile when he clocked 3:59.86 in January 2001. However, it was his run four months later, on May 27, 2001, that revitalised American distance running; when he smashed Jim Ryun’s high school mile record stopping the clock at 3:53.43 to shatter Ryun's 36-year-old national high school record of 3:55.3. Webb would go on as a senior to break the American mile record with his 3:46 in 2007.

There is nothing more frustrating as a fan than seeing one of your players casually strolling around the pitch whilst some of his teammates produce lung-busting sprints up the wing.

A column by David McNeill - Runner's Tribe
Too often in my career, I have walked off the track querying my performances; wondering why I ran so poorly when training pointed to something better…or wondering how on earth I ran as fast as I did when preparations had been poor....
