I wrote some time ago about
a spreading method idea for long individual races with start interval.
Some people at our O federation has taken it more seriously than I expected. A federation work group had discussed about it in an official meeting before Jukola, they considered it promising enough for some field tests. They are planning to try it in an training event somewhere with non elite runners and possibly try it as training with some sort of elite group also.
Quite funny. Who knows, I may end up running these loops one day.
