On a very very windy day in Sydney today Keith smashed the M55 3000m record (held by legendary multi record holder John Gilmour) by 6secs!!
Today he said "very very windy - Sean told me to tuck in behind Liam Ridings (easier said than done) - stayed with his pack for a lap or so but very hard going as wasn't much cover from the wind - lost touch on 2nd lap but caught them again - then couldn't hang on and got the wind for 4 laps and died in last 2 laps. But finished in 9:14.27 which is 5.5 seconds quicker than the Australian Record so VERY happy with that :-)"
Keith has started rewriting the record books with an Australian Mile record earlier this year hopes to run World Records from 1500m to Half Mara.

Hi David
Thanks for your words of sympathy. And the updates on your blog.
By the way...
You, Keith and Tom Highnam are all expat Englishmen right? And all pretty decent runners. What's with that?
