Track session results 24th April

Report from Graham (Chapman) on our fortnightly track session held on Wednesday 24th April.

Well done to everyone who ran the 5000m this evening.

Despite the widely varying distances recorded on Garmins, I’m pretty sure all times are ok and that the correct distance was run by all. I think I was just about on the limit on the number of people that I can time and count; apologies to those whose split times I didn’t get; perhaps next time we could run two heats if the numbers are sufficient. Obviously, if you feel there was a miscount on your laps, let me know and I’ll look into it further (there are enough known accurate references to confirm either way).

I should add that it’s not unusual for Garmin measurements to vary by 10% or more (especially true for running around a track).

I’d suggest it would be worth doing this again at least once again during the summer months, so let me have some feedback about its value.

Don’t forget on Thursday 1st May we have the first summer time trial at Cross in Hand starting at 7pm (in place of usual Leisure Centre session).
