Arguments For: |
Race distances increasing too quickly. |
Reduced distances for under 15s only |
We feel that the present distances for juveniles up as far as
u 15 are too long. We suggest shortening the distances by 500m in each
age group. Also it was felt that if the distances were increased as the
season progressed it would allow athletes more time to train for the
longer distance. So we suggest a progressive increase in distance from
county to provincial to national level. |
Arguments Against: |
Changing distances for girls will not lead to greater
participation. It is more likely that the result will be further drop
in standards of girls over the age of 15. |
