LONDON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 10,000m TRIALS – Took place last Saturday at Parliament Hill, which included many Shaftesbury runners. Congratulations to BETH POTTER who ran away from the field to win the Women’s trial race in a time of (32:04.63) which was just under a second off last year’s personal best time, ranking her as UK No.1 in 2017, and BETH will now look forward the 10,000m heats in London on Saturday 5 August. In the B Race VICTORIA WALKER finished 26th in a personal best (38:51.71).
BETH commented afterwards: “Last year, I felt like I was getting chased down but tonight I was getting stronger and stronger. I wasn’t surprised, I’m running well – my sessions were going great but I hadn’t raced (on the track) since Rio so I didn’t know.
“I’m just going to carry on with what I’m doing (the triathlon training) – it’s working, I’m improving in the tri and in the running, so there’s no point in changing anything at the moment. I run about 30-miles a week less now, I’m only in the mid-50’s but I’m getting my aerobic work from the biking and the pool as well, so my legs are fresh – win-win!
“I came here with no pressure and it was good to have a battle with STEPH – it’s nice to come away with number one this time after finishing twice before. I was smiling and grinning, looking at my coach and thinking ‘this is good!’.”
In the Men’s A race RICHARD HORTON finished 19th in a personal best (29:38.55) his only previous race was back in 2012 (31:10.06), next was PHILLIP CROUT U23 in his first 10,000m race also breaking the 30-minute barrier finishing 25th (29:55.01) and is ranked UK No.4 U23 in 2017, finally JAKE SHELLEY finished 34th in a season’s best (31:18.48). In the B Race KOJO KYEREME V40 finished 6th in a season’s best (30:23.08) ranking his UK No.1 V40 in 2017, D Race MARK PEARCE U23 finished 28th in a season’s best (34:36.41)
LOUGHBOROUGH INTERNATIONAL MEETING – Took place last Sunday in Loughborough. ANTHONY WHITEMAN is now the new World 800m V45 Record holder with his (1:50.52), as his recent run in Solihull had a malfunction with the electronic timing equipment so only hand-times were given. Therefore, ANTHONY held back from filling out the relevant paperwork.

SEB COE’S DOUBLE DOSE OF MUD – The following was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
The IAAF president reflects on the racing he used to do as a young athlete, which sometimes included two cross country competitions in one day
SEB says he sometimes did two cross country races in the same day as a teenager. He raced once for his school and then for his club and he believes it gave him a huge physical advantage over rivals although, he adds, “it would not be allowed today”.
The two-time Olympic gold medallist does not particularly endorse the idea, but it did not seem to do him any harm and he remembers: “I used to run 30-40 cross country races a year – very often one on Wednesday and another at the weekend.
“Sometimes I did one on Saturday morning for the school and then Saturday afternoon for the club and you’d never been allowed to do that nowadays.
“I had a massive physical advantage over other athletes who didn’t do cross country.”
The IAAF president adds: “It’s a mental thing too. “If you run 3-5 miles across that kind of terrain in Yorkshire on the side of escarpments in places like Halifax and Batley and Huddersfield and the edges of Sheffield it gave you a massive physical advantage over kids who were not doing cross country.
“If you run cross country as a 16-17-year-old, there’s nothing much that will spook you physically on the track.”
He continues: “I believe with the problems we’ve had in European distance running that it’s not remotely coincidental that we’ve lost a generation of coaches who do not believe cross country is important.
TWO DAYS FOR BRITISH TRIALS – The traditional Friday night at the National championships will not happen this year after a decision to turn the British Athletics Team Trials into a two-day event on Saturday & Sunday 1-2 July.
The old AAA Championships once saw a world 10,000m record by DAVID BEDFORD on the Friday evening at Crystal Palace, but nowadays the 25-lap event has been moved to Parliament Hill in May and the usual wave of heats for events like 100m, 400m and 800m will be incorporated into the two-day programme.
NEW GB TEAM KIT UNVEILED – The Great Britain kit for the “Summer of World Athletics” has been unveiled by British Athletics.
To be worn for the first time by athletes competing at the World Para Athletics Championships and IAAF World Championships in July and August respectively, the new Nike Vapor kits “are designed to enhance overall human potential for speed and at the same time address the specificities of each athlete and event”.
The vests and t-shirts feature the words ‘Great Britain’ in red writing and are mostly white with blue design on the body and shoulders.
The British Athletics logo also appears on the tops, while the blue shorts and leggings feature the British flag.
ALLIANZ PARK TO HOST BEER MILE AGAIN – British miler is training to take down Canadian COREY BELLEMORE’S world record
One of the biggest clashes of the summer is set to take place on August 12 in London. Not at the IAAF World Championships, though, but on the other side of the British capital at ALLIANZ PARK – the venue of the 2017 Beer Mile World Classic.
The crazy combination of athletics and alcohol produces an entertaining cocktail of a competition. It has caught the imagination of the running world in recent years and some of the world’s finest gastric gladiators will be at ALLIANZ PARK on the final weekend of the IAAF World Championships to run, drink and occasionally vomit as they compete for bragging rights in one of the most bizarre – and increasingly popular – off-shoots of track and field.
Yet all eyes will be on two men – COREY BELLEMORE of Canada and DALE CLUTTERBUCK of Britain.
Last year Bellemore coasted to victory in a world record 4:34.35 with Clutterbuck runner-up in a European record of 4:47.39. But Clutterbuck went into the race unprepared at the end of a poor track season. He only found out he was doing the 2016 race a couple of days earlier and he even knocked back a few drinks before the race ‘to warm up’.
This year, however, he is training for the event with fellow international runner BEN COLDRAY. The pair are doing a weekly interval session where their recovery period includes downing a bottle of beer and they have been recording their progress on YouTube.
“People might think this is nuts and I’ve gone mad, but there’s a bigger picture,” says CLUTTERBUCK. “I’d love to qualify for the Commonwealth Games next year and if this helps me get a bit of sponsorship so I can train harder, then it will have been worth it.”
BELLEMORE was signed by Adidas after his beer mile triumph 12 months ago while the previous world record-holder, LEWIS KENT of Canada, earned a similar deal with Brooks.
“Ultimately it’s just a few beers and a bit of fun with a friend, BEN, once a week,” CLUTTERBUCK continues. “It won’t do me any harm and I still plan to be competitive at events like the British Champs this summer.”
While Canada and the United States has dominated the beer mile record books recently, Britain has a good tradition. CHRIS PARR of Gateshead Harriers, for example, was considered almost invincible in the ‘Chunder Mile’ – a more difficult variation of beer miling where proper pints are consumed.
CLUTTERBUCK believes a beer mile in four-and-a-half minutes is roughly equivalent to a sub-four-minute mile in ‘normal athletics’ and he adds: “The sport needs to be livened up. I go to some meetings and they’re pretty boring. The gun goes, you race and that’s it, you go home.
VACANCIES AT LEE VALLEY ATHLETICS CENTRE – The Centre is looking for additional casual staff to take them through the summer and into next winter. The job involves setting up and down for events, coaching on kid’s sessions and cleaning, whilst in time those with the right abilities will get trained up to work on Reception as well. Rate of pay is £10.06 per hour.
They are looking for people with a passion for Athletics, a love of hard work and a keen interest in coaching children (preferably but not necessarily holding a minimum of an Athletics Assistant Coach award). Anyone interested should contact MICK to express their interest by e mailing me on mbond@vibrantpartnerships.co.uk
