My report on the men’s 5000 metres, along with a few other notes from the first day of track and field action at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi (and a short video of England’s Chris Thompson, who finished fifth), is now available on the Canadian Running website. I’ll be posting occasional reports there, focusing on the distance events. I’ll also live-tweet some of the distance events (as I did for the 5,000 metres tonight) at @sweatscience.
