Jemma Reekie says she would have been delighted to merely break two minutes for 800m but she was left stunned after storming to a British indoor record and huge PB of 1:57.91 in Glasgow last weekend, writes Jason Henderson.
The 21-year-old Scottish runner took more than half a second off Jenny Meadows’ 10-year-old UK mark of 1:58.43, five seconds off her indoor PB and more than three seconds off her outdoor PB of 2:01.45 as she beat her training partner Laura Muir.
“I did a couple of quick sessions out in South Africa (recently) and thought ‘I’m going pretty fast’,” she told AW. “But if someone said you are going to run 1:57 I’d have thought ‘no way’. I would have been really happy to just break two minutes.”
Reekie came into 2020 aiming to focus more on 1500m but it means she will re-visit her goals for the year with coach Andy Young and she will have the chance to show her form over the longer distance at the Millrose Games in New York where she is due to race the mile.

Carbon Footprint
You'd have had to have been running on a different planet to miss all the recent debate about carbon-plated shoes. The talk of bans and performance enhancement has been so widespread that even non-runners are asking their running friends about the potentially magical footwear.
Trail time
WHEN looking for a trail or off-road running shoe, itâs often all about the grip. However, given that no two paths are the same, careful consideration is required. Whatâs the terrain like where youâll wear the shoes the most? If youâll be negotiating soft, wet and muddy conditions then look for deeper lugs. For tackling gravel tracks and forest trails then more evenly spaced lugs will work better. When it comes to cushioning, consider how hard the ground will be; if itâs soft then youâll be fine in low-profile shoes, but on those firmer tracks reasonable cushioning will be called for.
Stay neutral
EVOLVING every year, if not month, neutral cushioned shoes are seeing developments in cushioning materials and dynamics at a pace which is nothing short of astonishing. The latest models feature new polymers in the midsoles to give them a cushioned feel while at the same time keeping their weight to a minimum. Give them a spin and choose the most comfortable for mile after mile of shock absorbing running.
Support network
WHEN it comes to âover-pronationâ, a common question is âhow much is over?â. With no hard and fast rules, itâs best to choose a shoe that instinctively feels right. Gait analysis can often assist in helping you make this choice and your specialist running store is always a good place to start if in doubt. To help you make that choice, hereâs a selection of some of the best âsupportâ shoes around.
Need for speed
THE racing shoe segment of the market is becoming somewhat split. This is partially due to the rise of carbon-plated footwear but also the fact that many shoes are becoming much lighter. Here we take a look at some of the leading contenders to toe the line in.
Gadget show
WITH technological products to enhance every area of life, running is now no different. From headphones to treadmills, the devices to aid performance and recovery are endless. Here we take a look at some of the latest gadgets and gizmos to enhance your training.
