'Always in the back of my mind': It's Rohan Browning's mission to run under 10 seconds

It could be in what he eats for dinner, or up to the vagaries of the weather.But it's also the main motivation for the second-fastest man in Australian history.is those couple hundredths of a second that he needs to break the 10-second barrier, in the men's 100 metres.

It was one of the biggest moments of the 24-year-old's career, as the "flying mullet" became an instant national hero.However, he faded in the semi-finals, his 10.09-second run wasn't enough to progress to the final. And to do that, just sneaking under that 10-second mark won't cut it: 20 men have already achieved that this year.Browning has been working with his coach, Andrew Murphy, and Athletics Australia's National Lead of Biomechanics, Dr Emma Millet, to break down his technique and identify where he can muster up even more speed.

"So, I'm really excited to see where he might go, whether that's 9.8 or below, I don't exactly know yet, because we haven't got all the pieces of the puzzle together.""So I try to apply a critical mind to everything and, when working with my coach, we try to really focus on where we're going to get the greatest output, rather than just glorifying hard running, hard work, being tough all the time. We try to work smarter.

"And that's a significant reason why he's been able to be so successful at major championships under pressure, because he's able to maintain such a relaxed disposition."

Yeah... I agree 100% with him!!! I haven't run since I was in my 20's - that was nearly 30 years ago!! I'm not gunna run for more than 2 seconds....!!!

If he can't run under 10 seconds, he shouldn't be bothering.

surely that big mop of hair is slowing him down a few 1/100's of second?
