‘Race Tactics – How to Run Your Race’ https://runnerstribe.com/features/race-tactics-how-to-run-your-race/ Tue, 26 Jan 2021 03:52:48 +0000 https://www.runnerstribe.com/?p=48813 There are many different ways to approach race tactics. No two races are the same, and depending on the type of runner you are, there will be a certain style of race execution that is best suited to you. They key is to try a range of different tactics and work out what feels right. There are front runners who like to lead the whole way or be close to the front, kickers who like to be at the back and finish hard late, runners who like to sit mid pack, and versatile athletes who who can do it all. Working out what is best for you is the key.

There are many different ways to approach race tactics. No two races are the same, and depending on the type of runner you are, there will be a certain style of race execution that is best suited to you. They key is to try a range of different tactics and work out what feels right. There are front runners who like to lead the whole way or be close to the front, kickers who like to be at the back and finish hard late, runners who like to sit mid pack, and versatile athletes who who can do it all. Working out what is best for you is the key.

Yuriy Borzakovskiy Wins the 2004 Athen's Olympics 800m

When I was younger, I only knew one way, and that was to lead from the front. My aim was to go hard from the gun, set a solid even pace and wear out my competitors. This was very effective in local junior races when I was superior to my opposition, however when I raced in bigger races I was often out sprinted in the finish by athletes who sat in behind me for the whole race conserving energy. As I grew stronger in my later teenage years and developed some power, I was able to employ different tactics and became more versatile. Now I was able to sit in the pack more and use my finishing speed to come over the top of other runners at the end of the race.

Throughout this blog I have included some clips from some memorable Olympic 800m finals over the past 20 years. I have focused on 800m races as they take less than 2 minutes to watch, a great event to watch on a YouTube binge!

An Interesting Few Months https://runnerstribe.com/features/an-interesting-few-months/ Tue, 12 Jan 2021 08:19:40 +0000 https://www.runnerstribe.com/?p=48626 By Ryan Gregson

Post the 2020 European athletics season, the MTC athletes who were in Europe competing needed to get home after what was overall a successful campaign. This wasn’t as easy as it seemed though. We were trying to come home in October, however when we were looking at flights in September, news reports mentioned that there were 25,000 other Australians who were also trying to come home. This number, on top of the fact that there were limited flights going to Australia that had limited seats available due to each city having a passenger entry quota, it took us a couple of weeks to be able to get a flight home.

Whether to go to college or stay in Australia is a toss-up that many young runners in Australia face. There are pros and cons to both options, and there have been successful runners that have come from either path. These days, it seems that heading overseas is the norm for our young talent, which was not the case when I was coming through the ranks.
