Around a year ago Phil Manning lined up for the St. Malachi 5 Miler with only a vague idea of what he was capable of. It was after all only his third footrace (Phil is a former cyclist). He finished a very respectable 36:43. When Phil lined up for the same race again on March 14th he had a much better idea of what he could run and planned for a PR. Phil not only set a new PR, but shattered his time from last year by running 34:15. This was 30 seconds per mile faster than last years race! This is a testament of what one year of consistent training and a little experience can do for your running.
