CLIFF GOLDING’S SWIM CHALLENGE – I am doing lots of swimming in-between weeks as I have my own solo Channel swim booked for the end of July. Hopefully the weather Gods will be kinder this year than last when I had to stop my swim eleven and a half hours in!!  When I do this swim I will have three solo Channel swims, three round Jersey swims, three lake Zurich swims, two Lake Windermere swims and a Jersey to France swim in the book.  In later age I think I have developed some sort of late onset OCD.  Not only do all my labels face the same way in my larder but I have a thing about hat tricks in my swimming.  So, with this third Channel swim, if I do another Windermere and two more Jersey to France swims, I will have five hat tricks.  Then I can stop and just do the odd relay to keep my hand in.

My true love is and always will be running and Shaftesbury.  When I was around 13 I came up to Copthall on a Tuesday club night and introduced myself to Bryan Smith.  Joyce was there, Margaret Beecham, Angie Toms, Gerry Elmore and all the names of that time.  I thought I was auditioning to join so was delighted to find that wasn’t the case when Bryan said I could just join.  He told me I was not a sprinter so to drop my arms and not pump them so much.  I have such fond memories of those times.

SBH MEMBER JADE LALLY WORKING WITH ENGLAND ATHLETICS – England Athletics is now running an Athlete Education Zone on its website which is designed to help athletes access information on subjects that are not only beneficial with regards to performance but also relevant to their wider health and wellbeing.

The advice is in written and video form, with videos featuring English discus record holder and Commonwealth Games medallist JADE LALLY covering a variety of topics. This link takes you to the various subjects and videos http://www.englandathletics.org/england-athletics/athlete-zone

Athlete Education Zone Project Manager Jane Fylan said, “We wanted to build a platform to help empower athletes by improving both their Physical and Mental Wellbeing via high quality, credible resources that are relevant to their on-going development as an athlete. We would expect that coaches and parents of young athletes will also access parts of the site as they work in collaboration to provide support to the athletes.

“The internet means that there is a vast range of information available, the Athlete Education Zone site is there to offer assurance that what you are reading, downloading, signposting or listening too is credible and high quality within the relevant field, the athlete can trust the source.

“Therefore, as well as working with recognised partners in providing high-quality and trustworthy advice, we also link to content provided by other organisations where this provides additional value for athletes. For example, we have taken this approach with partners such as the English Institute of Sport, Beat, and Mind.”

Jade commented, “I think the idea of an ‘athlete education zone’ is a really unique one. It can be difficult for people to know where to get credible and trustworthy information on subjects such as mental wellbeing and social media guidance. The Athlete Education Zone helps people to find advice on matters such as these or anti-doping.
