Super weather, just completed 5Km run
Fantastic man, going to run soon liao. Dark clouds shiok
That is extremely fast .. even a sub 8 mins for a 2.4km already impressive for anyone boy below 16 .
I was also impressed by that guy's timing. But I guess it boils down to genetics and also supershoes.
A good strategy for 2.4km that worked for me is burst, hold, burst strategy.
You start off going very hard for 800m, then you slowly ease a bit and hold for the next 800m. For the last 800m, just grit your teeth and burst again. It's quite a common strategy in cross country running. I think Aaron did that strategy in his recent 2.4km PB video.
