In this example each team member would be entitled to a silver award. The format encourages team spirit as the athletes are relying on each other. The continuous relay format mimics the well-established ‘interval’ training routine turning it into an exciting and fun form of team competition. The schedule of targets for the awards also gives the average time for the 200m metre sections which presents each team member a personal challenge to improve their average for five runs WEB COPY ©EVEQUE over 200m. This calls for a demonstration of good pace judgement.
