1. Set Your Goals

Before you embark on any training program, it’s important to set clear and realistic goals. Determine the time you want to achieve in the 1000-meter run and establish a timeline for your progress. This will help you stay motivated and track your improvements along the way.

Building a strong endurance base is crucial for any running event, including the 1000-meter run. Begin by incorporating regular runs into your training routine, gradually increasing the distance and duration over time. Focus on steady-state runs to build your aerobic capacity and improve your overall endurance levels.

3. Incorporate Interval Training

Interval training is a key component of 1000-meter run preparation. Including intervals in your training helps improve your speed and anaerobic capacity, enabling you to sustain a faster pace for longer periods. Try incorporating interval workouts such as 400-meter or 800-meter repeats into your training plan.

Strong leg muscles are essential for a successful 1000-meter run. Include exercises like squats, lunges, and calf raises in your strength training routine to target the muscles used in running. This will not only enhance your running form but also help prevent injuries.

The 1000-meter run can be physically demanding, but it’s equally important to train your mind. Use visualization techniques and positive affirmations to mentally prepare yourself. Focus on your goals, envisioning yourself crossing the finish line with a strong performance. Remember, a strong mind leads to a strong run.

Convert yards to meters

Please provide values below to convert yard [yd] to meter [m], or vice versa .

Definition: A yard (symbol: yd) is a unit of length in both the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. Since 1959, a yard has been defined as exactly 0.9144 meters. It is also equal to 3 feet, or 36 inches.

History/origin: The origin of the yard as a unit is unclear. It is an English unit (predecessor of imperial units) and the term was derived from "gerd" in Old English, the earliest historical form of the English language. Some suggest that the yard could have been derived based on the girth of a person's waist.

Current use: The yard is commonly used in field-length measurement for certain sports such as American and Canadian football, and association football (soccer). The yard is also used in cricket pitch dimensions, and sometimes in golf fairway measurements. In the United Kingdom (UK) as well as the United States, the yard is frequently used when referring to distance. In the UK, it is also a legal requirement that road signs indicating shorter distances are displayed in yards.

Definition: A meter, or metre (symbol: m), is the base unit of length and distance in the International System of Units (SI). The meter is defined as the distance traveled by light in 1/299 792 458 of a second. This definition was slightly modified in 2019 to reflect changes in the definition of the second.

History/origin: Originally, in 1793, the meter was defined as one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the North Pole. This changed in 1889, when the International prototype metre was established as the length of a prototype meter bar (made of an alloy of 90% platinum and 10% iridium) measured at the melting point of ice. In 1960, the meter was again redefined, this time in terms of a certain number of wavelengths of a certain emission line of krypton-86. The current definition of the meter is effectively the same as the definition that was adopted in 1983, with slight modifications due to the change in definition of the second.

Current use: Being the SI unit of length, the meter is used worldwide in many applications such as measuring distance, height, length, width, etc. The United States is one notable exception in that it largely uses US customary units such as yards, inches, feet, and miles instead of meters in everyday use.

Money blog: UK passport one of worst value in Europe after price hike

Staff at the shipyard that built the Titantic are expected to strike over plans to extend their working hours. 

GMB union members at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast reportedly voted to strike on Monday after proposals suggested they would have to come in on Fridays 

Sky News understands further talks are taking place today, with a revised pay offer on the table.

There have been suggestions that bosses want to implement a five-day week to cope with an increasing work load as the shipyard prepares to take on a major £1.6bn contract to build a Royal Navy supply ship. 

The industrial action could mean 100 workers could walk out with just two weeks' notice. 

It comes after years of concern over the shipyard, which appeared to be facing an uncertain future in 2019 when it was placed into administration.

Its future was secured when InfraStrata, now Harland and Wolff, acquired it for £6m.

It may not feel like it in the UK right now, but summer is under way and many will be dusting off their passports ahead of jetting away to warmer climes.

They're one of the most important documents we have - but how do passports rate when it comes to value?

According to the Passport Value Index by digital PR agency Tank, the UK passport has lost value for money since its 7% price increase in April.

Tank's research used the Henley Passport Index to find out the number of visa-free access each country's passport grants, and combined this with the passport price, number of years valid and average salaries to create an overall score.

It revealed that the UK has dropped four places from 31st to 35th out of 131 countries after its cost increased from £82.50 to £88.50. 

The British passport is valid for 10 years and provides access to 192 countries at a cost of £8.85 a year.

But despite this, it falls down when compared to Spain, which charges £25.80 for a 10-year passport with access to 194 countries, and Germany, which gives access to the same number of countries for £60.21. A French passport sets citizens back £73.97, also letting them travel to 194 countries, while for an Irish passport it's £64.51 for 193.

Of the 131 countries compared, the United Arab Emirates offers the best value for its passport, according to Tank. Its 10-year-passport costs just £10.82 and means citizens can holiday in 184 countries.

Maxine McCreadie, personal finance expert at UK Debt Expert, said many going to renew their passports this year "may be left surprised at the price".

"Households are already battling the rising cost of living and the cost of passports - plus the 10% increase in holiday prices could put a stop to travel plans."

Heinz has confirmed it is discontinuing its vegan salad cream after fans complained that they couldn't find it in shops.

The food company replied to social media users saying the salad cream had "recently been discontinued".

One X user said they were "majorly disappointed" at the decision to stop producing the vegan version of the condiment staple which had been their "favourite since a child".

"Why use eggs if you don't need to?" they asked.

Heinz launched the vegan salad cream in January 2021 alongside flavoured mayonnaises and "Beanz Burgers".

A spokeswoman for the firm told The Grocer that it was "constantly looking" at how it could "improve and innovate to meet changing culinary trends and tastes".

Data seen by the online magazine showed value sales of Heinz's vegan salad cream had fallen by 23.6% in the year to 18 May.

After a very strong start to 2024, during which the UK economy achieved its strongest growth for two years, things stalled again in April.

That the economy flatlined during April was no surprise, though, given a couple of factors.

One was the early timing of Easter, which will have led some consumer spending that would normally have taken place in April to be brought forward to March.

The other, more pertinent factor, was the weather.

The Office for National Statistics notes in its release that rainfall during April was 155% higher than the long-term average - making this the wettest April in more than a decade.

The arrival of Storm Kathleen at the end of the first week of April brought heavy rain to Scotland, Wales, parts of Northern Ireland and the West Country. 

In some parts of the country, things were even worse, with Edinburgh experiencing its second wettest April in 188 years. The last couple of weeks of April were also notably cooler than usual.

That all appears to have had a bearing on a wide range of sectors in the economy, including retail, construction - which was particularly afflicted by high winds - and pubs, restaurants and cafes.

The good news for the prime minister, such as it is, is that during the three months to the end of April, the economy grew by 0.7%. 

That represents a modest degree of momentum being carried forward from the first three months of the year and is still a pretty reasonable clip given the recent past.

The better news is that things will probably have picked up in May. 

Survey data for May, most notably the forward-looking purchasing managers index (PMI) survey, suggests that the services sector - which makes up just over three quarters of UK economic activity - continued to expand during the month while manufacturing looks set to have returned to growth as well.

Taylor Swift's Eras tour officially arrived in the UK last week, with tens of thousands of fans packing into Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh to see the star perform. 

For three nights, fans enjoyed a three-hour show, 45 songs, several costume changes and stunning set changes. 

Tickets ranged in price from around £86 to more than £660. 

While the reviews were glowing, some fans were left disappointed after spending more than £600 on VIP tickets to have their view blocked by a tent.

TikTok user @hollyheatherevans showed off her "£600 VIP view", which was blocked by a tower, a tent and what looked like a Portaloo.

"Was a great show Taylor, couldn't see you though. #obstructedview #errorstour," she wrote. 

Another Swiftie, Pat Herb, told her TikTok followers she spent £680 for a "lovely view of a tent". 

She said she "didn't see anything" on the stage. 

"I did have fun and I am grateful to be there but this was not worth £680... so heartbroken," she added. 

In the comments on her video, other fans shared their frustrations. 

"Same thing over in E14. Couldn't see anything in the centre diamond due to the sound tower," one said. 

"I was W15 Row K and in the same boat, I did ask to be moved though," another said.

The news dominating financial markets this morning is coming out of Brussels.

Shares in top European carmakers are taking a plunge on expectations the EU is about to impose tariffs on China-produced electric cars - after a similar move by the US.

Analysts expect additional duties of between 10% and 25% to be slapped on makers such as BYD and Geely due to anticompetitive Chinese state subsidies that keep prices down.

The penalties would also cover Western producers such as Tesla that export cars from China to Europe.

EU brands including big beasts such as Mercedes and BMW oppose the idea of tariffs as they fear retaliation from Beijing, which would hurt their own sales.

As such, their shares took a hit at the market open, with Porsche leading the way down almost 6%.

In London, the FTSE 100 opened 0.6% higher, with industrial and financial stocks on the charge.

Consumer-facing shares such as B&M, Ocado, Next and Frasers weighed, however, after the latest figures showed the UK economy flatlined as shoppers were put off by the rain in April.

The UK economy has flatlined, according to early official data that has been seized on by the government's critics as evidence the Tories' plan is not working.

The Office for National Statistics said there was zero growth in April, after the economy recorded its fastest growth in two years from January to March.

Experts have blamed a negative impact from wet weather, knocking both retail sales and construction output.

Despite the emphasis on the hit from rain, the numbers are still a setback for Rishi Sunak's key election argument that the economy is improving after successive hits from the COVID pandemic followed by the cost of living crisis.

Our  business presenter Ian King said professional scientific and technical activity contributed positively to the economy, but the retail sector did "pretty badly". 

He explained that growth was not expected by economists, and some had predicted a contraction.

"There will be certain parts of the country doing better than others," he added.

Every Wednesday we ask Michelin chefs to pick their favourite Cheap Eats where they live and when they cook at home. This week we speak to Vivek Singh from the Cinnamon Collection (home to popular restaurants including the Cinnamon Club and Cinnamon Bazaar). 

Hi Vivek , c an you tell us your favourite places in London  where you can get a meal for two for less than £40?

Everest Curry King  is a Sri Lankan place in Lewisham - I will pretty much eat anything there. It is homemade in house and everything is fresh on the day then reheated to order. The dosa is made to order every time. You can definitely get a filling meal for two here for less than £40.

Babur is a southeast London institution to me. Some of the most-loved local restaurant's prices have crept up in the past 35 years, but Babur is still a great place to have a really decent meal for under £40 for two people. 

It is especially great for lunch. You could get aloo gobi, mushroom corn saag, a side of pears and kadai paneer, a couple of breads (for example, a cheese and chilli naan), as well as rice and tomatoes all for under £40 for two people.

What's your go-to cheap meal at home?

My cheap eat to cook at home would be a chicken tikka and cheese toastie.

One tip that non-chefs might not know is everything tastes better between two slices of bread (haha). 

If I have some leftover chicken tikka or have some from the deli, I'll get some chopped cheese, onion and ginger then I will pop it in a toastie and a little goes a long way.

We've spoken to lots of top chefs and bloggers - check out their cheap eats from around the country here...

The start of Euro 2024 this week is predicted to drive an increase in shoppers splashing the cash on new tech and food supplies.

According to a survey by the British Retail Consortium, 6% of shoppers say they expect to buy a new TV or device to watch the matches, and 4% are planning on buying official merchandise.

Meanwhile, some 13% of people said they're going to spend more on groceries, alcohol and takeaways for the month-long football fest.

The research reveals that younger people are most likely to fuel the spending boost, with nearly a quarter of 18 to 24-year-olds saying they'll spend more on their food shop, compared to just 4% of people aged 55 and over.

Kris Hamer, BRC director of insight, said the survey of 2,000 adults shows retailers "could score a hat-trick".

"After sluggish spring sales, shoppers are expected to kick off their summer spending at the Euros," he said.

"Here's hoping England and Scotland can make it all the way to the final."

Different figures from Adobe show there's been a 14% rise in spending on TVs, while online sales of England shirts and other team merchandised soared by 115% in May.

Argos predicts it will sell 180,000 televisions during the tournament - the equivalent of four every minute.

The retailer said demand appeared to be driven by people wanting to watch sports on larger TVs.

And while football fans in the UK are preparing to watch this weekend's games from their sofas, anyone lucky enough to have tickets to the tournament in Germany will benefit from the pound hitting its highest level in nearly two years against the euro.

The currency fell when Emmanuel Macron, the French president, called a snap election after his party suffered calamitous results in EU elections.

The euro dropped to as low as 84.53p yesterday morning - its lowest since August 2022 - so it's a good time to snap up that holiday cash if you're heading over there!

Many of us have dreamed about a life by the beach, so where's the most affordable place to buy a home?

The average coastal home is now £293,710, 4% lower than in 2022 but 48% higher than 10 years ago, according to figures from Lloyds Bank. 

But if you head to Rothesay on the Isle of Bute in western Scotland, you'll find the average price of a house there is £101,477.

In fact, the 10 cheapest coastal locations to buy a home are all in Scotland...

At the other end of the scale is Salcombe in Devon, the most expensive place in the UK to buy a home near the sea.

Properties in the town cost an average of £970,657, according to Lloyds Bank. 

While that's down 22% (or £270,641 in cash terms) since 2022 when they cost more than £1.2m, it's still around nine times the price of a house in Rothesay.

Affluent Sandbanks in Dorset, home to celebrity residents including Harry Redknapp, is the second most expensive, with an average price tag of £957,739.

In fact, all the top 10 are in the South West.

Padstow in Cornwall, with its renowned Seafood Restaurant by Rick Stein, is third, with homes costing around £701,979. 

"These pricier areas can result in a lack of affordable homes for first-time buyers, a problem often exacerbated by high levels of second-home ownership, meaning that many who have grown up in the area may find themselves priced out of owning their own home locally," Amanda Bryden, head of mortgages at Lloyds Bank, said.

How Noblesville swimmer went from outside top 1,000 teens to Olympic trials contender

• Luke Whitlock ranks third in the US in 2024 in both 800- and 1,500-meter freestyles.

FISHERS – There are rapid rises in swimming, as in any youth sport. Then there is the rocket trajectory of Luke Whitlock .

Check the numbers. The 18-year-old need not do so. He knows the numbers.

Whitlock can recite his own times — all the way back to the Noblesville Enchanted Forest age-group meet — as well as those of teammates, competitors and Olympians.

Soon, the latter could include Whitlock.

It helps he is double-jointed. He has that in common with Michael Phelps.

'Largest swim meet ever': How an Olympic pool was built inside Lucas Oil Stadium

Except Whitlock is nothing like Phelps. Phelps, at 15, was setting world records. Whitlock, at 15, had not yet qualified for a winter junior nationals — something 1,000 youths do every year.

To go from outside the top 1,000 American teens all the way to world rankings — in less than three years — sounds like a hydroplane in the water, not a spindly 145-pounder.

“The only pressure I have is the pressure I put on myself,” Whitlock said.

Heading into the Olympic Trials, which open Saturday at Lucas Oil Stadium , the Hoosier ranks third in the United States in 2024 in both 800- and 1,500-meter freestyles. Two qualify for the Paris Olympics.

No one expects anyone to beat Bobby Finke, who won gold medals in both distances at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. After that?

“It is in the back of my mind to get the second spot, and that’s what we’re working for every day,” Whitlock said. “I know the training we’re putting in is good, and I’m getting a lot of confidence from it.”

Because of that training, he could be characterized as a high responder, according to the book “ The Sports Gene ,” written by David Epstein. Whitlock, after representing Noblesville High School as a freshman, joined Fishers Area Swimming Tigers. He thrives at long races, including open water, and there is nothing in high school longer than a 500-yard freestyle.

“The kid just outworked everybody,” said Tony Young, executive director of Indiana Swimming, the governing body for clubs in the state. “He’s like a little machine.”

Whitlock has thrived on up to 70,000 meters a week — 44 miles, or 120 lengths of Geist Reservoir. Not enough, he told his coach: Let’s go 100,000 meters, or 62 miles.

He did so in one week over Christmas break, then became ill. Lesson learned. Still, it wasn’t all wasted. Those 70,000-meter weeks feel so much shorter now.

“We’re kind of in a partnership,” said Joe Keller, coach at the Fishers club. “I think that’s empowering to them.”

Whitlock does not come from a swim family. His parents, Trent and Kara, went to small Indiana high schools that don’t even have pools.

Their son has been surprising others since he was a 5-year-old refusing to put his head in the water. He could not get past level 1 in swim lessons. He did not swim a race until he was 10.

Now, he loves it. He must, considering the hours and effort.

“It just takes my mind off everything else,” he said. “When I get into a rhythm, it’s just fun.”

He was once obsessed with basketball, according to his mother. She bought him a book about NBA history, and he absorbed all the records and results. That was manifested in swimming, too.

Teammates ask him what their best times were, and Whitlock knows.

“This guy lives and breathes swimming. He knows everybody and what they’re doing,” Keller said.

It wasn’t always so. Whitlock came into this sport late.

In his only high school state meet, at 5-6 and 115 pounds, he was 15 th in the 500-yard freestyle. There are podium photos of him standing next to swimmers nearly a foot taller. He has grown to 5-11 but acknowledged he looks smaller because of his frame.

Looks are deceptive.

At December’s U.S. Open, Whitlock was in lane 8 of a 1,500-meter freestyle that included Charlie Clark, who swam in the 2023 and 2024 World Championships, and Finke. Through 600 meters, the leader was . . . Whitlock.

Keller heard coaches wonder about the “rabbit,” a swimmer who goes out fast but inevitably fades, in the outside lane.

“I’m just standing there, not saying anything,” Keller said.

He didn’t need to say anything. Whitlock’s swim spoke for itself.

With 150 meters left, he was still within about one second of first. He finished third, 2.5 seconds behind Clark.

 Among those coming up to speak to Keller was Anthony Nesty, the University of Florida coach whose training group includes Katie Ledecky, Finke and Carmel’s Jake Mitchell. Soon, Whitlock will join them.

“That was the first meet when people said, ‘Ah, this kid’s legit,’“ Keller said.

It took time, and times, for Whitlock to feel legit.

In last year’s nationals at the Natatorium at IUPUI, he qualified for the under-19 World Junior Championships. His results at August’s junior nationals disappointed him, so he was unsure about September’s junior worlds.

In Netanya, Israel, he finished fifth in the 800 freestyle in 7:55.00, five seconds out of the medals but a six-second personal best. In a matter of months, he had dropped 14 seconds.

“When I finished and turned around and saw 7:55, I was like shocked,” Whitlock said. “That was the turning point.”

In a May meet at the Natatorium, he further lowered his time to 7:50.20, fastest by an  American 18-year-old in 17 years. He nearly matched the long-standing age-group record of 7:48.09 set by Larsen Jensen in winning a silver medal at the 2003 World Championships.

Whitlock has broken Indiana 17-18 records held by Mitchell, a 2021 Olympian. Coincidentally, vying for a spot behind Finke is another Hoosier Olympian, Michael Brinegar of Columbus.

Whitlock opens competition Saturday (June 15) in the 400 freestyle, although he is not necessarily aiming at the Olympics in that distance.

He is not necessarily aiming at the 2024 Olympics, either. His greatest opportunity is the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, his coach said.

“For Luke, whatever he achieves here is gravy,” Keller said. “Because at the end of his college years at Florida, he’s going to be in great spot for L.A.”

Hometown support in Noblesville is reflected in a banner displayed at the aquatics center in Forest Park. Yet much can happen in four years, and Whitlock is ready now.

Young is convinced. The swim executive, a former Carmel coach, said he was once with Drew Kibler at an Arizona training camp for teens. Kibler’s goal was the Olympics, something he made happen in 2021 .

“It was really clear in his mind what he wanted,” Young said. “Same with Luke Whitlock. I see the same look in his eye.”

He is the wild card, his coach said.

He will be swimming in an NFL stadium, and seven wild cards have won Super Bowls. It is a number Luke Whitlock probably knows.

Chris Brown ‘s  meet-and-greets have become epic events within themselves, dating back to his One Of Them Ones Tour with Lil Baby in 2022.

Although the fan encounters have been around forever, Breezy rejuvenated the pricey concert add-on when he showed that its okay to get up close and personal with the people who’ve contributed to your success. Past photos have shown the R&B heartthrob bending fans over, picking them up and even giving them kisses on the cheek.

With his most recent fan meeting for his 11:11 Tour , Breezy has gone viral again, as this time photos have emerged of him grabbing a few fans’ booties, with both hands.

In the past, Meet-and-greet tickets for CB have cost around $1,000, separate from regular concert ticket prices. This time, VIP packages have been priced at around $1,111 — a callback to the album title.

According to  Breezy’s official website , the hefty price included two signed personal items, an 11:11 calendar, a tour gift, a VIP laminate, a signed 8×10 photo, early entry to the show and, of course, a picture with the global icon.

Bow Wow Responds To Backlash For $1K Meet-And-Greet Package

One woman who went viral with Brown in 2022 for her bent-over photo revisited her “man,” where he made a video telling people not to hate on her.

“Don’t be hating on her, ’cause I was grabbing on dat booty,” he jokingly warned critics as she laughed along.

On X, fans who didn’t get a chance to purchase the meet-and-greet package shared their regret for missing out on the sold-out opportunity. “Chris browns meet and greet is $1,111 and I’m paying for it next time he go on tour since they sold tf out,” one fan wrote

The meet-and-greet package is currently sold out for the entire 27-city trek, as its only limited to 20 fans per city (though you can try resale sites like Vivid Seats or SeatGeek ). With that said, Chris Brown could rake in almost $800,000 for 36 show dates.

BRISBANE – Ariarne Titmus set a world record in the women’s 200-meter freestyle on Wednesday at Australia’s Olympic swimming trials.

Titmus finished in 1 minute, 52.23 seconds in the final, taking almost two-thirds of a second off Mollie O’Callaghan’s world mark of 1:52.85 set at last year’s world championships.

O’Callaghan placed second at the Australian titles in 1:52.48.

Titmus, the Olympic champion in the 200- and 400-meter freestyle events, now holds the world records in both events.

“Honestly, the world record is a bonus,” she said. “I'm happy to finally put together a swim that I know I’m capable of and it’s exciting to do it in my home town, in front of a home-town crowd.”

Titmus and O’Callaghan both work with the same coach, Dean Boxall.

“We really don’t see what each other is doing in training, we are very separate — she trains for the sprint events, I train for middle distance,” Titmus said. “Looking at a world record, I don’t look at who has it. I look at the time."

Titmus said a record wasn't “on my radar” so close to the Paris Olympics, which start July 26.

“I just wanted to put together a great swim and I have the chance to do it again in Paris," she said.

The 20-year-old O’Callaghan said she experienced pre-race anxiety, entering as the record holder.

“I couldn’t really sleep last night,” she said. “I'm still learning. I am only young and I am not as experienced as the other girls, so I will take anything at this point.”

Titmus and O’Callaghan finished more than three seconds ahead of the rest of the field in a strong final. Lani Pallister placed third, Brianna Throssell was fourth and Shayna Jack tied for fifth with Jamie Perkins.

The top six swimmers are likely to form Australia’s 4x200 freestyle relay squad in Paris. The Australians hold the world record in the event.

Australia's team for the Olympics will be confirmed on the weekend, after the six-day trials at Brisbane's Chandler Aquatic Center.
