351 Calories? I suppose he is pretty light.
LOL, no matter what way you do a 5k, the Garmin always says 400 Calories, so 351 is pretty much bang on

Rome is where it's at this week though - that's a strong lineup for Mark English in the M800

Sarah Healy makes her 2026 bow in the W5000 - in with Battocletti and around 300 Ethiopians

Decent field for Keely Hodgkinson to measure against in the W400 - Klaver, Pryce, Anning, Bukoweika

Defo a shoot the lights out in the W100 where Guapo's beor will try to get back on track against Alfred, Asher-Smith, Battle and Jefferson-Wooden

Between Hiltz and Hunter-Bell in the W1500 (was Healy avoiding her training partner?)

Tebogo would want to make a go of it in the 100 - Lylesy right there beside him like...

VMTV4 and BBC3 at 20:00

Here goes for Healy - well off the early pace - tailed off in the second group ATM

I didn’t see the 800 - SB for English? He was close to the win. A few nice scalps too

Battocletti suffering too

Take that, Keely!

Take that, Melissa!

Cracking 400m 51.14 for Keely is really good.

I hope she runs another one.

Jaeger Is flying. Adeleke where are you?

Don't bury the lede.

14:30 Bahrainian NR for Winfred Yavi.

BOOM! G’wan LylesY. Sub-9.90 an’ all.

Decent outing for Tebogo too.

Great night’s viewing

What’s the story with Adeleke - it’s all gone very quiet.

Healy got a bit of a shock tonight in the 5000m, solid time but I’d say being so far off was a real shock. Back to the 1500m but she was injured for a bit so still solid chance of getting well into contention come Birmingham.

Great run by English.
