Wolverine Racing & Training: Lagat 1500 m Race

Lagat 1500 m Race

Just got done watching Bernard Lagat win his record 8th Wannamaker Mile. He ran a great race, he beat a couple of studs from Great Britain and Kenya as well. So, since I am home with Chloe tonight, and she is upstairs sound asleep, I figured I would find some cool YouTube videos to post up on the blog. This one is his 1500 m win at World Championships a couple of years ago, and it shows would-be racers a couple of things about not just running fast, but winning races. Watch the video a few times, see if you can figure out what Lagat does to win this World Championship race.

Track Meet Order of Events

All events are traditionally run females first. There is rarely a hard time schedule that can be followed. A "rolling schedule" is followed, where the clock is essentially ignored and once an event is up, it is run. In other words, be early, be ready, be patient.

Girls Sprint Medley
4 x 800 Relay
Sprint Hurdles
100 Dash
4 x 200 Relay
1600 Run
4 x 100 Relay
400 Dash
300m Hurdles
800 Dash
200 Dash
3200 Run
4 x 400 Relay

The only thing I know about field event scheduling is that they seem to change from meet to meet. I will try and post those schedules on a week-to-week basis.
