The fastest runners set off last and the basic idea is that everyone finishes at roughly the same time. The series involves a system of points - the higher yo

Last Wednesday night at the track was the culmination of an 8-week professional training plan for "A Faster 5k". A huge group of all abilities were on the start line to do 12.5 laps - which seemed rather daunting to me, preferring trail runs to laps on a track. But it wasn't the mental mountain I thought it would be. There was music pumping on both sides of the track that momentarily made you sing along to the tunes and forget the heat, the sweat and the seemingly never-endin
