After Friday’s 1500 metres, today I tried a 1 mile. My aim was to go under 6 mins. Even though I ran quite comfortably throughout, I managed a relatively fast 5:48.8. This becomes my over 60 PB for a mile, and also my over 60 PB for 1500, which I passed through in 5:25. And I ran the last 1 km in 3:38. I’m happy with that.

Again, there’s no world run memories for today. On this day in 2012 I was still in Sydney, preparing to head back to Memphis to resume the run.
