Keely's doing the 4 at UK champs on 20/21 June so we can have these discussions all over again....
Great. I do like this about Keely - she’s unfazed by any apparent criticism and just picks herself up and tries again.
I have changed my mind on seeing the splits and in hindsight I agree with others on here that the Diamond league Rome 400 was a bit of a mistake. She was hoping she’d be dragged to a faster time by all the speedier women but that didn’t happen really.
I think the lane draw and her start meant she was was playing catch up and went out far too fast. Hopefully a more realistic race for her at the UK Champs will improve her PB. Or not - she may be approaching her ceiling. She’s not a 400m specialist and I personally don’t believe she has sub 50 in her.
However, if she can pace her 800m to perfection (and not waste energy!) there will be some improvement there.
