ANOTHER MILESTONE IN THE HISTORY OF SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS –In 2020 we will be celebrating our 130 Years since we were formed in 1890.
Our journey began in 1890, when some young men met at the old Jubilee Hall at Hornsey and decided to form a running club and called Shaftesbury Harriers. Jubilee Hall was then newly built and used for dances, concerts and such like social events, and was over what was then called a coffee tavern. It stood at the corner of Hornsey Road and Fairbridge Road, not far from Hornsey Road railway station and a mile from Hampstead Heath. It seems probable that, like others of the many clubs being formed about that time, the title came from a road in the district. Possibly some of the lads lived in Shaftesbury Road close by; with its tall Victorian houses the road has not changed so much with the passing years. In the Autumn of 1986 we amalgamated with Barnet Ladies and became as we know it know Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers.

KENAN STEPHENS REMEMBERS – The following photograph was taken about 9 years ago, which shows KENAN and LARRY ACHIKE.
KENAN who is now 17 years-old is coached by ALFREDO MELAO and has a 2019 personal best triple jump as a 2nd year U17 (14.48m) which ranked him 4th in the UK rankings. His Mother said that LARRY’S visit to KENAN’S school inspired him to take on Triple Jump. LARRY, who was coached by FRANK ATTOH, was visiting schools in the Hendon area in his capacity as a UKA Athletics Ambassador following his victory in the Sydney, Australia Commonwealth Games Triple Jump in September 2000, with a jump of (17.30m) which is not only a club record but also 6th on the GB all-time list. Clearly LARRY has left SBH an ongoing legacy. Thank you.
LIZZIE SOARS TO NEW HEIGHTS – The following article was published in Athletics Weekly recently.
Given that LIZZIE BIRD has occupied a place in the British top 10 annual rankings for 7 years in a row, her ascent to the top of the UK lists this season should not come as much of a surprise.
In recent years, the 3000m steeplechaser has managed to slip under the radar, but a stand=out 2019 has surely put an end to her status as one of the country’s lesser-known athlete. At the British Championships in August, the 25-year-old secured her place at the World Championships following a stand-off with ROSIE CLARKE, eventually succumbing to the defending champion in Doha, though, it was LIZZIE who had the last word, setting a UK-leading time of (9:30.13) to ensure that she set her fifth personal best in eight races.
Most impressive of all, her (9:30.13) clocking was 23 seconds faster than she ran prior to 2019. Now sitting third on the UK all-time list, it is safe to say LIZZIE is soaring to new heights.
“Doha was a complete new and in some ways, bizarre experience,” LIZZIE says. “In terms of performance, I was really happy. Although I could’ve made the final if I made a move sooner than I did. The one mistake I made during the race was giving ALLIE OSTRADER too much respect – it took me a full lap to work up the courage to go past her and it cost me a spot in the final as I didn’t have enough time to make up the ground after that.”
LIZZIE’S road to being the UK No.1 has certainly been an unorthodox one. Unlike her contemporaries she has not trained at Loughborough or St Mary’s – nor has she based herself at one of the major US colleges. When applying for university six years ago, LIZZIE opted for Princeton in a bid to give herself an opportunity in another career in case athletics fell flat.
“I wanted to do both athletics and academics, “LIZZIE explains. “I think in the UK, at least to my 18-year-old self, it seemed I had to make a choice to either pursue athletics at Loughborough or Birmingham and set academics on the back foot, or go fully into the academics at somewhere like Oxford or Cambridge. Princeton offered both and did a really good job in providing a set-up where I could both to a high level.”
One coach warned LIZZIE she would return injured if she enrolled at an intense running college in the US. Princeton, however offered academic standings alongside a less intensive athletics set-up – and that’s where the steeplechase comes in.
LIZZIE had never considered competing in the event before enrolling at Princeton. Yet the persuasions of the university’s cross-country captain, as well as her coach, won her round.
“I was sort of reluctant to try it at first, she says. “There is this attitude in the UK at steeplechase is for 1500m runners who aren’t quite good enough to be top at 1500m. I was put off the event at a young age, but I went to Princeton and I ran the cross-country season. I had a go, tried some drills, and did a race which went well. I really liked the water jump. That’s definitely my favourite part of the event.”
LIZZIE’S first couple of years in the United States were encouraging. She ranked seventh in the UK in her first season competing as a steeplechaser and earned a GB under-23 vest in 2015. Then came the injuries.
She was beset with illness and stress fractures in 2016-17 and a subsequent move to the University of San Francisco followed. The 2018 summer season was another write-off, prompting LIZZIE to give herself an ultimatum: succeed in 2019, or focus all her energies on her working career.
“I took the whole of last summer off,” she recalls. “I didn’t want to have another injury that would prevent me from just going out for a hike or an easy run. That was the most frustrating things about those injuries. I graduated in December last year, and my coach PAT MCCURRY said he could get me running 9.30, so I thought I would give it one last go.”
With LIZZIE sensing the 2019 season might be her last throw of the dice, the weight of expectation was lifted from her shoulders. “When I thought I don’t care anymore, I started having fun and running well so didn’t want to stop,” she said.
Post University, LIZZIE was working as an immigration assistant, but a run-of-the-mill holiday back home in June turned into a major turning point. She decided it was now or never in her pursuit for selection in Doha – and she handed in her notice.
I came home in June intending to come for a week. I told my office I was coming back in 10 days and was absolutely intending to. Then I raced at the Watford Open four days after I got back and it was atrocious. I think that was the push I needed to realise that I couldn’t really work and train for the summer.”
Then suddenly it all clicked. She ran a PB in France (9:41.93) and another (9:36.84) in Finland. Then, with the Worlds standard in the bag, she won silver at only her 2nd British Championships.
LIZZIE’S performance at the World Championships then completed a miraculous turnaround. It may have been her first senior international call-up, but she now finds herself just 13 hundredths of a second off the Olympic standard for Tokyo.
“If you asked me in January if I were planning to train for 2020 Olympics I would have said no chance,” she says.
LIZZIE has now deferred her place at law school in Boulder, Colorado, opting to focus on a place at the Olympics. She recuperated in the off-season by backpacking in Desolation Wilderness in California practically devoid of human activity. Now back in San Francisco, LIZZIE has resumed winter training – but even then, she has an ambition that burns her even brighter than her aspiration of making the Olympics.
Immigration law is the career I want to go into. Ideally what I’d really like to do is to find an immigration organisation to work while I train because that’s really what I care about most outside running. I’ve been hesitant to put everything into running in the past. I’m treating this as a nine-month period where I am putting this time aside to train for the Olympics.

On seeking technical advice “MailChimp” was recommended as the best way for SBH to go forward. There is one thing you should be aware off is that when you receive an email from me, the footer at the bottom has 4 options, of which one is “Unsubscribe Me From List”. Could I ask you not to select this as if you do you will be automatically removed from my distribution list.
