Asda Athletes

On the 15th and 16th of September, I’m competing in the English Schools National Decathlon at Bedford international stadium which will be my final event of the season. These past 6 weeks I have had intense training (working on strength, speed and stamina) in order to improve on everyone of my events. My aim for the Decathlon is to win the overall event; the competition will be very strong but I believe if I’m able to execute most of my events well then I have a chance of becoming English schools champion.

Last year at the same competition I was able to become champion for Octathlon but this year winning will be a lot more difficult as I’m only a first year u20.

A couple weeks ago I was able to achieve new PBs in 200m with 22.19 (-1.7) and 100m with 11.17 (-0.5) which has proved my training in sprints is proving successful.. If all goes well; on the day I’ll be able to execute and produce a lot of PBs.

Hopefully in a couple weeks I’ll be able to let you know of a good performance and a possible Gold medal :)

This weekend ill be competing at a British Athletics League hoping to achieve personal Bests in all my events, on Wednesday I was able to sort out my run up enabling me to reach top speed when I hit the board which will help me in getting a PB. Last time I competed at British Athletics league in Derby I was able to achieve a personal best in 100m (11.18s) and 200m (22.55s); hopefully this time ill be able to repeat some good performances :)

Had my very first decathlon last week at the ‘ESAA East Region Combined Events Championships’ in Bedford international stadium, with a few good performances I was able to take a big lead on the first day. My best performances over the 2 days where 10.7s in 100m, 7.01m in Long Jump,  52.70s in 400m and 14.7 in 110m Hurdles. I won the competition in the end however there is alot i need to improve on before the finals in september.

The week after I competed at english schools championships for long jump. The jumps where not great but where good enough to help be bring back a bronze medal
