Blanken, There are a few people here with track backgrounds, so maybe they will pipe in.

thanks for the link!

good job! thats a good pb

great report!

that sucks .. I had a stress fracture in cross season last year , I was not happy , after cross season I had to take almost 8 weeks off.

That was the longest 8 weeks of my life
