KYLE LANGFORD LOOKING FORWARD TO A FAST FUTURE – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently. 


Training changes and enjoying racing have made a big difference to the British indoor 600m record-breaker
He might have run 600m indoors quicker than any other Briton ever has, but KYLE insists he could have gone even faster in Athlone earlier this month.
The 21-year-old clocked 1:16.10 at the AIT International Grand Prix on February 15 to improve on DAI GREENE’S time of 1:16.22 from 2013.
That came after a below-par performance at the British Athletics Indoor Team Trials in Sheffield, where he finished fifth over 800m. Following his record-breaking run in Ireland, Langford went on to place third at the Müller Indoor Grand Prix, running an indoor PB of 1:46.79 for third.
“I’m happy but at the same time I’m that type of person, I always want to better what I’ve run,” said KYLE on his 600m. “I thought I could have gone faster. With how the pacing went, I felt decent, so I definitely think there’s a lot more to knock off there.”  What makes his performance all the more impressive is that before this year, the European junior gold medallist hadn’t raced indoors since 2014, and even then, that was to contest a sole 400m.
Although disappointed with his run in Sheffield, KYLE – who has since been selected for GB’s European Indoor Championships team – says the race served a positive purpose and made him even more motivated. “I felt physically fine but mentally, it was my first race and I think I went into it a bit raw,” he said. “I lost concentration and when you lose concentration indoors it’s really unforgiving.
“I think it was a learning curve for me. I needed a bit of a kick up the a***. My main aim going into the indoor season was wanting to break the 600m record.
“I was really disappointed after Sheffield but it’s just one of those things. You’ve got to bounce back from it and I did that in two days.”
Having struggled with injury last year, the Shaftesbury Barnet athlete says he is now taking things more seriously and changes to his training programme, including the introduction of strength and conditioning, have made a big difference. KYLE is enjoying racing again and that is being reflected in his performances.
“Something that I didn’t do in the past is enjoy moments,” said the Watford-based runner, who gives huge credit to his coach, George Harrison. “It comes and goes so quick. I’ve realised, take your time and just make the most of it so that’s what I’m going to do.”
Having competed at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing two years ago, one particular moment KYLE hopes to enjoy this summer is reaching the final when the championships take place in London.
“All in my mind is that I want to make the final at Worlds,” he said. “I think making the final at Worlds is harder than winning a medal. Once you’re in a final any of the eight people can win a medal.
“Making the final is a massive thing for me. That’s what I’m aiming for.”

SAFETY ADVERTISEMENTI wanted to let you know about a new range of running/cycling vests that we have brought to the UK from the USA called RoadNoise
There are 2 models; 
The Original – The original has built in speakers in the shoulders so you can listen to your favourite music whilst you run but without completely blocking out important background noise (i.e. cars, traffic, lorries etc.) which makes it a much safer option over ear-buds. It also features nice bright reflective stripes for added visibility on the road. Comes in a range of sizes and colours. It is also allowed in relay competitions where ear-buds are banned.
The Long Haul – The Long Haul is similar to The Original but is more advanced with the addition of an amplifier for increased sound, loads of pockets to hold reservoirs, bottles, lights etc. (we also sell a range of Hydrapak products which work seamlessly with the Long Haul).

You can learn more about both models at our website www.roadnoise.co.uk 
The other reason I wanted to contact you is to offer you and your club members an intro offer of 20% off the RRP as we are keen to get the vests out there and get some feedback so we can further improve and refine the products. 
Simply use the code INTRO20%OFF at checkout to get the discount.

PARKRUN – Can you make sure that you are registered as Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers, as the link I use to select all results only shows SBH athletes. 

PHOTOGRAPHSI would appreciate if you could send me any photographs, which I can then publish on the website and newsletter.
