Also, some asked about Jack Rayner being injured - 3rd in the 10km in 29:25. Possibly using it as a workout?
He's off to Kenya soon apparently so that should be interesting to follow.

Jack was trying to stay with Ed (Ed, Jack, Sam Clifford broke away early). But Jack got dropped about 4km in as they hammered into the headwind. He hung tough but Clifford got him in the last couple hundred metres. Didn't look like it was a workout for Jack.

Ryan Gregson is better off pacing Gen at this point. For a competitive guy he must almost regret even starting his road running era?
Ed Goddard is a continual WTF for me. A legendary trainer, never to be seen as a racer.

Ned Brockmann 71mins for the half. We'd call this subelite or no?

28:26 for Jimmy Whelan in Manchester to finish 7th. Not a bad run, but still a bit more talk than walk from the Strava man

In front of Marc Scott who won the British 10k champs. I think it's a decent result for Jimmy. I hope he can put it together and run a good marathon later this year.

I still think Jimmy's really refreshing with how open and honest he is with his training and up and coming races. It's something we haven't really seen from many Aussie runners.
Imo, the easiest Aussies to follow and barrack for are Jimmy, Cam Myers, Izzi Batt-Doyle and Lauren Ryan.

If he’s so open and honest, can you tell me why and when he pulled out of zatopek? What happened in Berlin half?
I appreciate Jimmy being public with what he’s doing, but he’s not completely open and transparent if he only shares the good things

Billings pb 1:57.61 in Rabat 800m. Big run and worked hard right to the end.

Think that moves here to number 2 all time Aussie if below is correct (quick google)

1. Jessica Hull: 1:57.15 (Tokyo)
2. Claudia Hollingsworth: 1:57.67 (Silesia Diamond League)
3. Abbey Caldwell: 1:57.70 (Silesia Diamond League)

I'm backing Caldwell to beat that.

Eleanor 2nd in HJ, and Nina won the PV. Better runs by Torrie Lewis.

Good meet for the Aussie contingent.
