I'd love to see Keely win the world indoor championships running gun to tape BUT, with the 4x400m in mind , will she try to win the 800m with the least...

Yes, no Keely! But, we knew she was running the 400m. No, there was something else. Some missing element. I can't quite put my finger on it. Anyway, whatever...

The women's 800m was a good race, but I can't shake the feeling that there was something missing. I certain something that would have turned it into a...

I'll end my input by saying that there's a bigger picture here that obviously can't be grasped by most of "the fans" who inhabit this forum...

??? Mu didn't run in the 400m trials, and so she can't do the double....

[painisthepurifier]

Well, done Keeley. She's now third all time UK 800m. I'm not trying to wish my life away BUT roll on next Summer!! And, Keeley will be only 23 at the...

[painisthepurifier]

Talking about Keeley, she does seem to be able to run well off any pace. For example, when she ran the indoor world U20 record in Vienna, the bell was...

The UK women's 800m is going to be torrid this summer. A poster, above, commenting on the Eugene 800m says that Adel Tracy is not in Reekies' class. Well,...

That's where the IAAF mounts a massive publicity campaign involving the press and top political figures, and international courts, telling the world their...
