Josh Moody - National Indoor Championships

I competed in the Northern Indoor Championships on the 27th January. It was a one day event this year but I decided to compete in both the 800m and the 1500m as an experiment!!

At midday I ran the 800m heat and came first to qualify for the final, late afternoon I ran the 1500m and won by running a fast last 2 laps, 10 mins later was the 800m final. It was too soon after the 1500m but I managed okay for the first 600m but then suffered for the last 200m.

I wasn't too nervous although I realised it was a big ask, but I felt good that I had tried something a bit different. This was to help prepare me for the national indoor championships at Birmingham on the 27th February.

This might be my last year at school so I hope to do well in the schools events. I managed to win at the Derbyshire Schools cross country on the 2nd February. This means that I will now go on to run for Derbyshire in the next round which is at Liverpool on the 8th March.
