My technique now looks smoother and more dynamic. Impact on performance (whole performance context) By developing both my CRE and technique, my overall time for the 800m has greatly improved. I have managed to achieve my long term target of taking 5 seconds off my initial time. I now run the event in 2.58 seconds (PB).
