NEW CLUB RECORD – Congratulations to NAOMI PALMER, ESTHER FATUADE, JAZZ SEARS and HANNAH FOSTER who broke the club 4x300m U17 Women relay record with a time of (2:47.43) at Bromley last Sunday, which ranks them UK No.1 team in 2018. The previous record was (2:55.44) by RACHEL CARTER, BLESSING ADJEI-OKWABI, SOPHIE MADDOCK, HANNAH FOSTER at Norwich on 30 April 2017.

MANY THANKS TO OUR SHAFTESBURY VOLUNTERRS – Last week-end we organised the start area at the Vitality 10K and Westminster Mile events. The photograph is the team following the Westminster Mile, well done.

MIDDLESEX YOUNG ATHLETES LEAGUE – Took place last Saturday 26 May at Perivale, still awaiting results to be published.

UK YOUTH DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE UAG PREMIER – Took place on Sunday 27 May at Bromley.
We had good day at the office with lots of PBs and SBs, the highlights were the relays and lowlights were the number of events where our members failed to register a performance for a variety of reasons eg running out of lane, so it’s all about discipline in the throws and jumps but it’s early season, so these errors will be eliminated as the season progresses.

Particular thanks to the following who stepped up at short notice to cover late withdrawals, CHINWE IWUNZE competed in her 4th event, the 4 x 400m relay in addition to 100m 200m and 4 x 100m, JAMIE HARPER who ran the 3000m as well as the high Jump where he had a massive PB of 1.80m and the 800m and KRISTIAN IMROTH who won the 3000m and came back to win the 1500m steeplechase. There were many more athletes making impressive debuts.

We’re now half way through the YDL season and our 2nd place at Bromley all but secures our place in the final. Of course we must keep getting out our best team possible particularly as the next match is at Eton on Sunday 1 July, the home of the 3th placed team Windsor.

Team Result – 1st Blackheath & Bromley (869 points), 2nd SBH (727), 3rd Windsor, Slough, Eton & Hounslow (653), 4th Reading (583), 5th Harrow (359), 6th Team Bedfordshire (309).

CURRENT DISTRIBUTION OF SHAFTESBURY INFORMATION – Currently I notify members (by email) using “MailChimp”.

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.

UPDATE ON HUGH RICHARDS PARKRUN – Last week HUGH competed in the East Coast Park Parkrun, unbeknown to me this was in Singapore. HUGH and PIPPA are currently visiting HUGH’S daughter. This Saturday PIPPA and HUGH intend doing the West Coast Park Parkrun.

It’s 40 years this August that JOHN DRYDEN, JULIAN GOATER and HUGH RICHARDS completed in the Singapore International Games and it’s still just as hot and humid! I recall JULIAN won the 5k and JOHN and HUGH came 2nd and 3rd respectively in the 3k Steeplechase.

LOUGHBOROUGH INTERNATIONAL – Took place last Sunday 20 May and this was the 60th staging, having established a reputation as the domestic curtain-raiser for Britain’s top athletes.

Shaftesbury had a superb turnout with many of our up and coming athletes competing, with top performance of the day going to SEB RODGER who matched the European qualifying standard of (49.80) in the 400m hurdles. The Rio Olympian, whose best is 49.19 from 2013, said: “It’s nice to go sub-50. I know it should be normal, but I’m quite inconsistent with my times, so to run like that I’m very happy.” The photograph of SEB following his impressive win.

On a day dominated by the royal wedding in Windsor, the new king of domestic 10,000m running was crowned in Highgate when ALEX YEE beat the ultra-experienced ANDY VERNON and CHRIS THOMPSON to take the national title. ALEX only turned 20 in February and remarkably focuses more on triathlon than running. But on Saturday night in north London he finished fifth overall – and first Briton – in his 10,000m debut in a European Cup race won by RICHARD RINGER of Germany.
ALEX’S time of (27:51.94) was less than five seconds outside the British under-23 record of (27:47.0) set in 1971 by DAVE BEDFORD, who was among the packed throngs of spectators on Saturday night in addition to IAAF president SEBASTIAN COE, European Athletics president SVEIN ARNE HANSEN and former world snooker champion and keen runner RONNIE O’SULLIVAN – to name just three. Photograph shows ALEX in third place.

RONNIE is a member of Woodford Green with Essex Ladies and from 2007 to 2014 ran 8 Metropolitan league races, with a best finish of 53rd. In 2015 he turned his sights on the Parkrun, with a best time of (18.08) at Hackney Marshes.

EASTERN YOUNG ATHLETICS LEAGUE – The second fixture of five took place at Thurrock on Sunday 6 May.
Another exilerating win from our 41 Girls and 40 Boys at Thurrock, and you can see by the league table below we are 2nd after 2 fixtures with Ipswich just in front of us. The next fixture is on Sunday 3 June at Basildon, and we are up against Ipswich, so we need to fill as many of the events in which we never contested at Thurrock.

Congratultions to you all and especially we had many more of our recent members competing, and on the day we had 48 Individual wins and 4 relay wins. Unfortunately the results are still to be published after checking, therefore I will publish these in next week’s Newsletter.

Team Result – 1st SBH (746), 2nd Norwich (689), 3rd Thurrock (686), 4th Chelmsford (665), 5th Braintree (292), 6th Hawcs/Enfield & Haringey (149), 7th Colchester & Tendring (101).

Top 6 League Positions After 2 Fixtures – 1st Ipswich (14 League Points – 1619 Match Points), 2nd SBH (14 – 1548), 3rd Havering (13 – 1649), 4th Dacorum & Tring (13 – 1527), 5th Bedford (12 – 1428), 6th Norwich (12 – 1372).

Apologies as of today the results have been removed from the Power of 10, once they have been reinstated I will re-issue these results with any ammendments in red.

No wind speeds taken for all events.

BRITISH ATHLETIC LEAGUE PREMIER – A much-weakened team had the long journey up to Leigh in Lancashire for the opening BAL Premiership match on 5 May. The clash with BUCS and with many of our athletes still away on warm weather training, this meeting really tested the club’s strength in depth. All the teams suffered and there was serious talk to have Round One of the BAL delayed a week to avoid a clash with BUCS in future years. The move would involve a clash with the County Championships which was deemed a much better option the very poor / almost non-existent attendance by Senior athletes.

The sprinters did very well with a clear win for JOHN OTUGADE in the 100m “A” and a very close 2nd in the 200m “A”. New member JIMMY THORONKA had a good BAL debut with a 3rd in the 100m “B” and a 2nd in the 200m “B”, as a last-minute substitute. We then had 2 debutants in the 400m where there was a PB for LUKE SMITH and a SB for U20 LOUIS OCTAVE.

Our thanks to TOM BUTLER on his BAL debut who volunteered at the last minute to run the 800m and then went on to win the “B” string 3000m where he was very ably supported by new member ALEX LEPRETRE. Another double up came from GLEN WATTS who warmed up with the 400m Hurdles before running a very clever tactical race to come 2nd in the 3000m S/C. Solid performances from U20 athletes and first timers TYRIQ LAFEUILLE (400m H) and GEORGE GROOM (1500m) kept the points accumulating.

The highlight in the throws was the performance of new member SCOTT LINCOLN in winning the shot, ably supported by ANGUS MCINROY who not only achieved a 3rd place in his speciality event, the Discus, but also stepped in to cover the Shot and Javelin. New boy JACOB LANGE was solid in the Hammer and therefore allowed JAMES HAMBLIN to win the “B”. Another new member to contribute to the team performance was ALI SHAN AZMAT in the Javelin. Special mention to club throws coach and former World Masters Discus Champion NEVILLE THOMPSON, who at the age of 63 became the oldest member to compete for SBH in the BAL, with his 5th place in the “B” Discus.

The jumps saw AKIN COWARD achieve a good 2nd place in the High Jump, whilst our 2 Pole Vaulters, ETHAN WALSH and ROSS HAJIPANAYI were both clear in 3rd place in the “A” and “B” competitions. The horizontal jumps saw consistent performances from ALANDO ALFRED who produced a PB in the Long Jump and his 2nd longest Triple Jump. He was partnered by another debutant AARON ELLINGTON, in both events. Last but not least was the contribution from coach, official and team manager CLYDE GORDON who covered both the High Jump and the 110m Hurdles.

Team Result – 1st Birchfield Harriers (345 points), 2nd Sheffield (318), 3rd Cardiff (280), 4th SBH (259), 5th Thames Valley Harriers (250), 6th Woodford Green with Essex Ladies (246), 7th Newham & Essex Beagles (242), 8th Swansea (242).

With just 23 points covering the bottom 5 clubs, the team spirit and hard work saw SBH come through at the end to secure a Top 4 finish.
The next round on Saturday 2 June is a double header with our Women’s team in Cardiff where only a top 2 finish will be good enough.

DAVE BEDFORD SAYS FAREWELL TO THE LONDON MARATHON – DAVE has announced his decision to leave his role as a consultant with London Marathon Events, which includes recruiting the elite fields for the London Marathon and all other running events organised by the company. He will step down in November.

DAVE, a legendary runner on the track and the former 10,000m world record holder, has played a pivotal role with the London Marathon for more than three decades. He famously ran the first edition of the race in 1981 following a bet in his night club. Over the years, he served on the Board of Directors from 1986 – 1988, representing British Athletics and in 1989 was appointed to recruit the London Marathon elite field. He became London Marathon Race Director in 2000, a role he held until 2012 when he became a part-time consultant. He also played a leading role in the formation of the World Marathon Majors.

NICK BITEL, CEO of London Marathon Events Ltd, said: “The London Marathon is deeply indebted to DAVE for all that he has done for the event over the years. During his tenure as Marketing and Sponsorship Director and then as Race Director, he was instrumental in developing the London Marathon into the world’s greatest marathon and most successful one-day annual charity fundraising event. Time and time again he has recruited the world’s greatest athletes and masterminded unforgettable elite races and world records. He will be greatly missed and we wish him well.”

DAVE said: “I have been fulfilled working with the London Marathon for many years. London Marathon’s growth and success was only possible because of the great team I worked with. We should not forget, however, that the success of the London Marathon was only possible because of the hard work done by CHRIS BRASHER and JOHN DISLEY in founding the event.”

DAVE was born on 30 December 1949. He is a former GB international long distance athlete and set the 10,000m world record on 13 July 1973 when he recorded 27:30.80. He also held the British Records for all distances from 2000m to 10,000m, including the 3000m steeplechase. He finished sixth in the 10,000m at the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. He has also served as Chairman of the IAAF Road Running Commission. He currently is a Non-Executive Director of UK Athletics and a Director of Hendon Football Club. He was awarded the OBE in 2014 for his services to athletics and charity fundraising.

NEW IAAF RULES ON FEMALE CLASSIFICATION – The following article was on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
Took Global governing body hope fresh guidelines will help level the playing field Female runners with naturally high testosterone levels will have to race against men or switch events unless they take medication under new IAAF rules which begin in November.

The rules will apply to women who race in track events from 400m up to the mile and the IAAF believes the new measures will stop women such as Olympic 800m champion CASTER SEMENYA with high testosterone levels gaining a competitive edge.
The rules for athletes who have ‘differences of sexual development’ apply to the 400m, 400m hurdles, 800m, 1500m, one mile races and combined events over the same distances.
Athletes who want to compete must take medication for six months before they can compete – and then maintain a lower testosterone level. If they do not wish to take the medication they can compete in international competitions in disciplines other than track events from 400m to the mile. Or they can compete in men’s or mixed gender competitions or domestic (non-international) events.
Those who want to compete are not required to undergo surgery.
An IAAF statement says the rules are “in no way intended as any kind of judgement on or questioning of the sex or the gender identity of any athlete”.
The global governing body points to their latest research which showed there is a performance advantage for females with higher testosterone over the track distances.
“We want athletes to be incentivised to make the huge commitment and sacrifice required to excel in the sport, and to inspire new generations to join the sport and aspire to the same excellence,” said IAAF president SEBASTIAN COE.
“As the international federation for our sport we have a responsibility to ensure a level playing field for athletes. Like many other sports we choose to have two classifications for our competition – men’s events and women’s events. This means we need to be clear about the competition criteria for these two categories.
“Our evidence and data show that testosterone, either naturally produced or artificially inserted into the body, provides significant performance advantages in female athletes. The revised rules are not about cheating – no athlete with a DSD (difference of sexual development) has cheated – they are about levelling the playing field to ensure fair and meaningful competition in the sport of athletics where success is determined by talent, dedication and hard work rather than other contributing factors.”

BRUCE TULLOH, BAREFOOT CHAMPIONOF THE 1960s, DIES – The following article was on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
European 5000m gold medallist, coach and author was an athletics pioneer in many ways, BRUCE TULLOH, European 5000m champion in 1962, one of Britain’s best and most popular runners of the 1960s, trans-America record-breaker, and an ongoing influential figure in British athletics as a coach and writer, died on April 28, at his home in Marlborough, of cancer, aged 82.

Tulloh was the first non-African to compete without shoes in top-level international races, and he argued that the lack of any weight on his feet enabled his to accelerate more suddenly. That could give him a surprise winning break even on world-class fields like the 1962 European 5000m, when he got away with 700m to go.
Deceptively frail-looking, he was adored by the crowds and media, who loved to see the boyish-looking underdog with the high, protruding elbows skim away time after time from sturdy Russians and Poles in the international dual matches that in those days were the main competitions between Games.
He won AAA and Inter-Counties titles, set a British six-miles record (27:23.8) in 1966, was twice runner-up in the English National Cross-Country Championship, placed seventh in the International Cross-Country and enjoyed domestic success with Portsmouth AC, who he helped turn into one of the strongest clubs in the country.
His Olympic aspirations were triply thwarted – by the heat and humidity of Rome in 1960, by an attack of measles that kept him home in 1964 and by the prospect of Mexico’s altitude in 1968.
With the disincentive of Mexico, TULLOH hit on a different challenge, when he had the outrageous idea of attacking the record for a coast to coast crossing of America. It was an unlikely project for a runner with no marathon or ultra credentials – and whose training was typically light on miles and strong on quality – but TULLOH had deep reserves of determination, enthusiasm and applied intelligence.
With minimal sponsorship and only his wife SUE and their seven-year-old son CLIVE as crew – and despite suffering severe ankle pain that forced him to spend several days walking eastward in heavy boots – he covered the 2876 miles from Los Angeles to New York in 64.9 days, more than four days faster than the previous mark, an achievement that later led to him being called “the original Forrest Gump.”
A renaissance man, TULLOH excelled as an athlete, coach, teacher at Marlborough College, scientist, musician and author. He described his record-breaking trans-America journey in a book that has been listed as one of the best running books of all time, Four Million Footsteps (1970) – one of 23 titles he published.
In 1971 he lived for several days with the running tribe of Tarahumara Indians in New Mexico and described the experience in the London Observer, 40 years before CHRIS MCDOUGALL supposedly discovered them and wrote about it in his best-selling Born to Run.
As a coach of many British athletes over the years, TULLOH guided most notably RICHARD NERURKAR. He also had periods teaching and coaching in America and in Kenya, where he coached Olympic medallist MIKE BOIT. Readers of AW also soaked up his advice in articles such as this one here.
As a masters runner, TULLOH’S times included 1:16 for a half-marathon aged 60 and a 2:47 marathon in his late 50s. He continued to compete to his late 70s and ran until his final illness made it impossible.
There will be a private family cremation and a memorial gathering in Marlborough, likely to be in late June or early July.

SOUTHERN UNDER-13’S CHAMPIONSHIPS – The South of England AA has introduced a new championship for the Under-13s this summer, which will be held on 11-12 August at Lee Valley alongside the Under-15, Under-17 and race walks championships.

COMMONWEALTH GAMES – Thursday 12 April – The first event of the morning session ZANE DUQUEMIN (Jersey) was competing in Pool A of the Discus, and this year he has been managing his injured shoulder. ZANE with his 2nd throw recorded a seasons best (57.66m) placing him in 4th place, qualifying for the Final. In the Triple Jump qualifying NATHAN FOX (England) did not start. The evening session opened with JADE LALLY (England) in the Discus, and she also has been nursing her shoulder, her series was below par and her best throw was (53.97m) which was her 3rd throw to finish in 7th place.
The final two races of the evening proved to be dramatic, firstly the 200m in which from the gun ZHARNEL HUGHES (England) was always in control and came into the home straight with a clear gap on his rivals. JEREEM RICHARDS however, began to run ZHARNEL down and in the final metres his right arm clashed with the left arm of the leader. ZHARNEL was knocked off balance and he staggered over the line in a time of (20.12 w0.9) with JEREEM also awarded the same time, but ZHARNEL was given the verdict on the photo finish and he set off on a victory lap.
But while he was celebrating, judges were analysing the race and they ruled that ZHARNEL was guilty of a lane infringement. Certainly, in the final few metres, it was clear he had stepped on the white line that separated him from JEREEM and it may have contributed to the clash of arms. Photograph’s of ZHARNEL at the start and finish.

The 800m race proved to be just as exciting with KYLE LANGFORD (England) looking very relaxed. The race unfolded as reigning champion NIJEL AMOS of Botswana led the field through 400m in 52 seconds, WYCLIFFE KINYAMAL surged to the front with 250m to go and looked the likely winner coming into the home straight. KYLE, meanwhile, had a lot of work to do as he was only in sixth place and well adrift with 100m to go. But, similar to the London 2017 final where he finished strongly for fourth, KYLE uncorked his big kick and almost caught the Kenyan in a thrilling finish as he ran a personal best (1:45.16) to miss out on victory by a fraction. He took .09 of a second off his world championships time, and is ranked UK No.1 . Photograph’s of KYLE with 200m to go, and celebrating in style.

Friday 13 April – As they say the last individual man standing was ZANE DUQUEMIN (Jersey) in the final of the Discus, ZANE just missed out qualifying for the last 8 finishing in 9th place (55.64m).

The first round of the 4x100m relay took place, with England in Heat 2 and it was good to see ZHARNEL HUGHES on Leg 2. England won the race in a time of (38.15) the fastest time of the Heats.

Saturday 14 April – What a fantastic result for ZHARNEL HUGHES and ENGLAND winning the 4x100m relay Gold Medal in a seasons best (38.13). The team was REUBEN ARTHUR, ZHARNEL, RICHARD KILTY and HARRY AIKINES-ARYEETEY.

Well the 7 days of Athletics at Carrara Stadium have now come to a close, it has been very enjoyable experience, well organised with the weather being around 27-28 degrees every day. The access to the stadium is superb with some 70 rows of x-ray equipment. Photograph’s some me signing off plus the security tents.

ALEXANDER STADIUM SET FOR £70 MILLION REVAMP – Prime Minister announces investment which will increase capacity of UK Athletics’ home from 12,500 to 40,000 in time for Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.

Prime Minister Theresa May confirmed on Wednesday that Birmingham’s Alexander Stadium is to benefit from a substantial investment of £70million, and a major overhaul, ahead of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in the West Midlands city.
The changes to the 40-year-old stadium, which currently hosts the British Championships and Diamond League events annually, will bring an increase in capacity from the current 12,500 up to 40,000 in time for the Games, with 20,000 permanent seats to be retained following the showpiece.
There will also be the introduction of new community sports facilities within the new stand, a permanent warm-up track and a new conference meeting space.
Speaking during a visit to the home of UK Athletics, which will host the opening and closing ceremonies in addition to the track and field action at the Games in four years’ time, Mrs May said: “Birmingham’s dynamism, diversity and ambition capture exactly what it is to be part of the Commonwealth and I’m sure that, in four years’ time, the people of this city will host an incredible event which showcases the very best of Britain to the world.“The investment I am announcing today will transform the stadium into a state-of-the-art facility benefitting the local community and the region well beyond 2022.”

2018 LONDON MINI MARATHON – NATASHA TANNER U15 has been selected to run for for the Borough of Enfield and LUISA STAAB U13 for the Borough of Camden.

COMMONWEALTH GAMES PREVIEW – I watched the opening ceremony on a huge screen on Broadbeach beach, and as they say it was a ripper. The following day Thursday 5 April featured the Triathlon, which meant leaving the Hotel at 7.15am, getting the local bus to Broadbeach South, then a tram to Southport. The Women’s race featured BETH POTTER (Scotland) and started at 9.30am with the 750m swim in calm waters, England’s JESSICA LEARMOUTH exiting the water first in (9.04 minutes) followed by the eventual winner FLORA DUFFY of Bermuda, BETH time was (9.50) and there were 8 athletes within 3 seconds of her. On the 20k bike leg BETH got detached from the group and finished in 12th place (31.28), there was quit a gap in front BETH as she set of on the 5k run, and she ran the 6th fastest time (17.24) to finish in 12th place (59.50). Apologies as the photo of BETH is a bit far away, everyone thought they would go out on one side of the road, and back on the other side. Nope the bikes went out and back this side, and the run on the other side.

The return journey featured a massive queue at the Tram station, but everybody was happy and in no time, we boarded the tram. The tram system was built 2 years and most of the tracks run parallel with the cars and as you can see by the photo they are very smooth and comfortable with a rather smart paint job.

Friday 6 April was a rest day and relaxed at Surfers Paradise, which is aptly named, this is also where the Games free events take place on the beach stage. Photo’s speak for themselves.

Saturday 7 April was slightly more hectic as we visited Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. I actually signed up to new SBH members, the first guy could be an offial and the second would probably challen ge DAN BRAMBLE’S club long jump record. Also as Southport was the Triathlon Relays for Mixed Teams, with BETH POTTER on Leg 1 for (Scotland) and this time the swim was 250m and BETH came out 7th (3.25), the bike Leg was 7km (11.13) and the run was 1500m (5.08) with BETH handing over in 7th place, which was their final placing.

When we got back JADE LALLY had sent some photograph’s. JADE told me he preparations have been OK, back injury has not gone away, just hope for the best in a few days time.

Photographs show JADE at home in the village, next a perspective JADE will see when she steps into the circle on Tuesday, finally that good old Aussie greeting.

Sunday 8 April – Started as 10am with the Hammer Final with DEMPSEY MCGUIGAN (Northern Ireland) having one of his best competition series to finish in 6th place (SB 70.24m), his second best throw ever, his other 5 throws were between 67m to 68m, and is ranked UK No.7 in 2018. CHRIS BENNETT (Scotland) was a shade under par, threw (65.22m) with his opening throw and with his 3rd attempt he put in an impressive threw only to have fouled to finish in 10th place.
Later in the afternoon SAM DAWKINS (Jersey) in his first major championships was drawn in Heat 1, the race started very quickly and in the final 100m SAM gritted his teeth fo finish 6th in a personal best (47.23) taking .08 of a second off his 2017 time, and ranks him UK N0.8 in 2018.

Monday 9 April – The morning session opened with the High Jump, Pool A featured DAVID SMITH (Scotland) who was had a near perfect qualification and cleared a seasons best (2.21m) qualifying for the final, which ranks him UK No.3 in 2008. In Pool B ALLAN SMITH (Scotland) also qualified for the final with a seasons best (2.21m) although he gave me the shivers at (2.18m) when he cleared the height impressively at his third attempt. He is also ranked UK No.3 in 2008.
The evening session had BETH POTTER(Scotland) in the 10000m, and was sitting at the back of the pack, with 11 laps to go BETH got detached and eventually finished 18th (33:26.78). The exertions of completing 2 Triathlons in the previous 4 days must have taken its toll. Picture of BETH is a bit far away (sorry).

Tuesday 10 April – The morning session included 3 of our Stripes, firstly in the 800m KYLE LANGFORD (England) was drawn in Heat 1 Lane 8, and at the 100m break KYLE took up his customary position towards the back of the pack. with 300m to go moved up to 4th position, then in the home straight produced that customary burst of speed to ease past the line in 2nd place in a seasons best (1:45.61) his 3rd fastest time ever, ranking him UK no.2 in 2018. Next SAM DAWKINS (Jersey) following his excellent 400m run took on the 200m, drawn in Heat 3 Lane 6 SAM produced in what was a close finish a personal best (21.91 w-1.4) for 6th place, which is a Jersey National Record. In the final Heat 9 ZHARNEL HUGHES U23 came out looking extremely relaxed, and from his excellent start hit the home straight with a 5m lead, and won the race in a quick (20.34 w-0.4). Finally DAN BRAMBLE opened his qualifying round in Pool A of the Long Jump, and his session was over before it had hardly started, achieving the qualifying mark of 8m with his 2nd jump. Jumping a seasons best (8.02m w1.3) ranking him UK No.2 in 2018. Photographs of KYLE LANGFORD (4th place), SAM DAWKINS (all red) and ZHARNEL HUGHES (Lane 1), sorry DAN but on both of your jumps someone stood up at that precise moment, will get you in the Final.

Wednesday 11 April – Was jan evening session only and first up was the High Jump. ALLAN SMITH had an excellent competition to finish in fifth place with a seasons best (2.27m), which was his best since 2015 ranking him UK No.2, he cleared (2.21m) at his 3rd attempt and had 3 good attempts at (2.30m). DAVID SMITH finished in 10th place with (2.18m) just failing to clear his qualification height of (2.21m). Next in the Long Jump DAN BRAMBLE finished in 5th place with (7.94m w0.1) and would have needed a personal best to get a medal. Finally ZHARNEL HUGHES produce another dominating run to win Heat 2 of the 200m Semi-Final (20.37), from the gun ZHARNEL led the field, then in the home straight had a comfortable lead to cross the line easy up. It is looking promising for tomorrow’s nights Final.

I arrived in Hong Kong last Thursday, and it is a barmy 78 degrees. The first photo is of Hong Kong island and the second is the Peninsular Hotel which is one of the most expensive in HK, we were a 10 minute stroll away.

I left Hong Kong on the 2 April bound for Brisbane. I landed just before midnight and meeting me was Shaftesbury man DAVE SWEENEY and as promised i went to the airport car park and how could i miss him as both windows of his car had Shaftesbury vests proudly flying. DAVE was a member of Shaftesbury in the 1980s and early 90s, and trained with JEFF KAYE and JAMES ESPIR also RAY POWELL and PHILLIPE BROWN under the guidance of BRYAN SMITH. DAVE now lives north of Brisbane with his wife NATALIE and 4 children and also not forgetting SACHA the dog. Photograph of DAVE and NATALIE and that dog.

JAZZ SEARS MAKING GREAT STRIDES – The following was published in Athletics Weekly recently.
JAZZ and her coach CRAIG ANDREW. Are they a match made in heaven? In the athletics sense, the answer is yes, definitely!

During a relatively short time – since the summer of 2016 – JAZZ has made herself one of Britain’s best young triple jumpers and CRAIG has coached her every step of the way.
JAZZ was previously successful in other events and indeed has won numerous county championships in Bedfordshire at long jump, high jump and sprinting. She switched to triple jumping after terming up with CRAIG. “It was his idea,” she recalls.
CRAIG recognised his new athlete’s potential in simple terms. “I could see how she could bound” says the sports rehabilitation graduate.
Clearly CRAIG had foresight – in only her third triple jump contest JAZZ won the 2016 England under-15 title with the best UK performance in the age-group for that year. Subsequent victories include the 2017 SIAB international. “It was my first time going off the 11 metres board,” she remembers – and, this year the England indoor championships with a PB, at the time, of 12.34m which improved (from 12.23m) the under-17 UK indoor all-time record JAZZ had herself set in January.
Even then JAZZ wasn’t finished, for in early March she beat her record once more with a 12.37m in a Windsor open meeting. To reach such heights obviously requires committed training and workload reflects this, with plyometrics, sprints and gym work among the sessions. There is also hill running, although more than one member of the training squad wryly refers to this as a death session!
Nevertheless, says JAZZ, most of the sessions are fun. “And CRAIG is an easy guy to get on with,” she insists.
A decent gymnast before she switched to athletics, JAZZ has high hopes of qualifying for the European Under-18 Championships this year and again being a regular in domestic circles, but what improvements does she need to make? “My leg shoot is perhaps the weakest phase of my jumping,” the 16 year-old says. “So I have to think of improving on that by bettering my flexibility.”
Quick sprinting times could help, too, though her coach doesn’t see a lack of speed as an obvious weakness. “Her 60m and 100m times don’t reflect just how quickly JAZZ moves on the runway,” says CRAIG.
Besides that, JAZZ has some fast training partners to help her in that direction. Among them is KIERRA GRANT, a 60m winner at the London Indoor Games this winter as well as being the Bedfordshire Under-17 long jump champion. She and JAZZ are childhood friends and both, previous with Luton AC, are now members of Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers.
Finally, the affable JAZZ has a message for other hopeful young athletes. “Trust the process and your ability to succeed,” she says. “With patience and determination you will achieve what you set out to do. You may encounter hurdles on the way, but they only make you a better athlete for it.”

COMMONWEALTH GAMES PREVIEW – I have been in touch with our athletes this week, and have an update on KYLE LANGFORD who told me “Build up to the games has been really good, i have been up in Falls Creek in Victoria getting some altitude training. It’s been one of them things that I just want to get racing so I’m counting down the days and I’m raring to go! I feel trainings been going well and there is definitely a big chance of a medal, I’m going out to have fun racing and I know the performances will come”. Also ZANE DUQUEMIN is preparing to fly out and he told me “I fly on the 24th and actually head straight into the village. Preparations have been frustrating to be honest. I developed an issue with my shoulder last season and it’s still hanging on refusing to completely go so we’ve had to adapt training but we’re hopefully on the right track now and expect to be in good shape come April the 12th! Hopefully a bit of sun will help in the lead up”.

REVIEW OF METROPOLITAN LEAGUE SEASON – I have updated the Men’s and Women’s documents which identify all the Shaftesbury runners who have competed in the 2017/2018 season, also all-time appearances, consecutive races etc.

You can view both documents at the end of this review. Shaftesbury Men participated in the first race of the 1967/1968 season at Cranford on 28 October, with 2 of SBH current members competing, GERRY ELMORE and HUGH RICHARDS. The first Women’s races were in 1994 at Wormwood Scrubs on 8 October and the lone runner was DIAN TAYLOR. Unfortunately, Under 20 and younger age-groups were not identified in the results until a lot later, and the documents identify as and when.

One of the stats is Senior Men appearances, RAY POWELL has completed 117 races, with PHILIP CUNNINGHAM hot on his heels with 114 and RUSSELL DEVITT 111.

DARYLL NEITA LAUNCHES KIDS’ SCHEME – Featured in Athletics Weekly in which DARYLL has unveiled a campaign to increase the activity of primary schoolchildren.

DARYLL who is the current Olympic and World sprint relay medallist visited Beatrix Potter Primary School in Wandsworth last week to launch Active Kids Do Better – a Nike and Discovery Education programme, developed with support from John Moores University, to help teachers increase movement and play throughout the school day.
Research has shown that fewer than one in four young children in the UK get recommended amount of exercise, but the Active Kids Do Better programme offers free resources, games and activities to all UK Primary Schools with teachers able to sign up at activekidsdobetter.co.uk online.
Beatrix Potter Primary School is one of the first schools to join the programme and on visiting the school DARYLL said: “It’s amazing to see kids of all ages and abilities having fun and enjoying being more active. It’s so important for health and well-being and even small bite-size chunks of exercise can make a massive difference.”

ROSEMARY BOWSHER, Year 5 teacher at the school, said “The children were very excited to welcome an Olympic medallist to our school! We’re proud to be one of the first schools to sign up, and it was great to be able to show DARYLL how we’re encouraging our pupils to be more active. As a busy teacher, it’s sometimes difficult to find time for fun physical activity out of PE lessons. This programme makes it quick and easy and has given me confidence to build movement into our daily routine.”
Schools will benefit from a raft of resources linked to key areas of the National Curriculum, enabling teachers to introduce quick movement into otherwise sedentary lessons. They include “spell check” – a hopscotch-style playground game – and “clock lunges” – a quick classroom activity to help children get out of their seats while they learn to tell the time.

Also THOMAS BUTLER has been equally impressive by winning the Under 20 title, and finished 5th on Saturday. THOMAS and PHILIP CUNNINGHAM were the only ever-presents.

ATHLETICS WORLD CUP LONDON 2018 – The two-day competition will see eight of the world’s top athletics nations battle for the inaugural World Cup Trophy

A new Athletics World Cup event featuring eight of the world’s top athletics nations is to take place at the London Stadium this summer.
To be held on July 14-15, the Athletics World Cup London 2018 will see teams from the USA, Great Britain & Northern Ireland, Poland, China, Germany, France, Jamaica and South Africa compete for a $2million prize pot over two evening sessions of action.
The competition will see athletes contest all field and track events up to and including the 1500m, with just one male and one female athlete from each nation selected in each event in a straight-final format.
Organisers also announced that to mark 100 years since women were given the right to vote, and as part of the Mayor of London’s #BehindEveryGreatCity campaign, the first edition of the event will see all nations select a female athlete as team captain.
“The Athletics World Cup London 2018 will be one of the biggest athletics events in 2018 and as such we’re thrilled to be able to launch it at the London Stadium,” said Richard Bowker CBE, chair of UK Athletics. “This is world-class competition where nation will face nation and fans will see an amazing feast of athletics over two days featuring many of the biggest global superstars in the world of sport.
“This will be an incredible event which we are thrilled to be able to launch on the back of a highly-successful World Championships last summer.”
IAAF president SEBASTIAN COE said: “This is one of the exciting innovative events we are seeing in our sport and our thanks go to British Athletics and the Mayor of London for creating it and hosting it.
“We have eight lanes, eight top nations, eight teams and a host of world-class athletes lining up in each event to win the trophy and prize pot. This will be a fast-paced and exhilarating experience for athletes and fans.”
South Africa’s world 400m record-holder WAYDE VAN NIEKERK, who won world gold in the London Stadium last summer, said: “It’s great to see such an exciting head to head event confirmed to be taking place in London this summer – the concept is one that will excite everyone in athletics and is sure to attract new fans to the sport.
“The South African team will be there in force and we hope to see fans from all over the world join us in London for what will be an amazing competition.”
Registration for the ticket ballot is now open at www.athleticsworldcup.org.

SOUTHERN CROSS COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS – Took place in Stanmer Park, Brighton on 27 January
A reasonable day on the South Coast with top honours going to JEREMY DEMPSEY U20 who unfortunately had a fall during the race, and just failed to win the Gold Medal by 2 seconds.

The Team Managers have reported that a large percentage of drop-outs occurred on the Friday night before the Championships and some on Thursday night, albeit 2 or 3 had a bug or cold, but other reasons included too tired after running the Middlesex Schools on Thursday, decided to concentrate on schoolwork and some felt they were not ready to race.

LONDON TO BRIGHTON ROAD RELAY – The first race for runners (who were mainly professionals) was on the 30 January 1837, and the winner covered the 53 miles in 8 hours 37 minutes. Various races followed until 1951, when the first relay race for amateur runners was held, covering 53 miles 566 yards. The race was run every year until 1964, and was cancelled in 1965 due to traffic problems. The race has been run since then, but as a race for individual runners until 2005. In 2005 the Road Runners Club made a decision not to hold the race, and the main factor was the ever increasing traffic. Since 2009 “Extreme Running” now organise a version of the race, which starts from Blackheath, then through Kent, Surrey and on to Brighton.

BOB PARKER – It is with great regret to report that former Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers Club President, BOB PARKER aged 87, passed away peacefully last Saturday 20 January at his home in North Harrow.

BOB was an exceptional man who always on hand to give advice when asked, and as a talented coach who was behind the success achieved by former World Record Holder, DAVE BEDFORD and many other SBH members. He was Shaftesbury President from 1980 to 1982, and he told me that was one of the most enjoyable 3 years in Athletics.

DAVE sent me the following – I joined Shaftesbury Harriers in 1964 and he started coaching me in 1965. Always called me Boy, still did to the end! BOB became a second father and SYLVIA a 2nd Mother and in truth they had more influence on my development and life than my parents! BOB had previously coached some of the older Shaftesbury lads and he was still racing himself. I do remember him running the Poly Marathon in the late 60’s with me supporting him on a push bike. Up until the 1970’s he was still warming up and down with me at training sessions and overseeing fartlek sessions on Hampstead Heath. Twice each week in winter we would train from his house in North Harrow. Sometimes there were 5 to 20 in the house. He worked full time and often I would meet him during his lunch break to discuss training and injuries! BOB drove me and others to races including “pot hunting” events to Paignton and Torquay. He was always there for all his athletes, each of them will tell you the same. KEITH MCKAY, JULIAN GOATER, ALLISON WYETH, ANDREA WHITCOMBE and MARA YAMAUCHI plus dozens more. Where he got the energy from no one knows.
I have never heard anyone say a bad word about BOB. I had my first beer with him (date not given on purpose) and I will certainly have my last still thinking of him ever grateful for his love, care and friendship. Was he a good coach…. when I stared being coached by him I was the 73rd best junior in the English Schools XC Champs and 9 years later broke the World record for 10,000m.

His home town was Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, during his teenage years he moved and lived/worked in North London where he trained at the Maccabi Stadium Hendon in the 1950’s/1960’s. He then met SYLVIA, and after they Married they bought a Maisonette in Belmont, Harrow. TONY SUNDERLAND recalls, that from here a group of us started meeting weekly in the Winter to train on the roads, (at this time he owned a MG sports car to the envy of all of us all, they then bought his current house in North Harrow and he always maintained that he had to sell the MG to help finance the purchase).
The training group used to number from 8 to 10 of us including some from other clubs (Ealing/Valley etc) it was from this group that BOB started coaching and his first Athlete he trained was Keith McKay the rest as they say is history.

BOB joined the Club in around 1951/2 in the 440yds and 880yds on the track, his best times were 51seconds and 1.57 respectively. In addition to Track running for Buckinghamshire and Shaftesbury he ran over the Country and Road, (running a leg in some of the London to Brighton relay Club teams in 1950’s/1960’s). Some of his achievements included – Buckinghamshire Senior 880 yards Champion on many occasions during the 1950’s and 1960’s, Buckinghamshire Senior Cross country Champs – 1st 1962 and 1963, 2nd 1956, 3rd 1957 and 1959, Shaftesbury Junior Cross Country Champs in 1951 and Shaftesbury Senior Cross Country Champs – 5 miles in 1963 and 9 miles in 1964.

BOB and SYLVIA were instrumental in forming in the late 1980s, one of the most successful female Athletic Club of recent years, Parkside Harrow. They dominated the 1990s with no less than 4 National Cross Country Champions – Andrea Whitcombe 1990, 1991 and 1997, Katy McCandless 1995, Alison Wyeth 1996 and Mara Myers (Now Yamauchi) 1998. They also were National Team Winners for 8 consecutive years from 1989 to 1996.

BOB’S funeral is on Wednesday 7th February at 11.00am at Hendon Cemetery and Crematorium, Holders Hill Road, South Chapel.

RECENT NEW MEMBERS – We wish you a very warm welcome, and a happy, healthy and successful 2018 to TOLO AYO-OJO, ELLIOT BURCHER, JUSTIN HENRY, JONATHAN KLEIN, CHARLIE MARINKER, ANDREAS PITSIALIS, SAMUEL OJO and SAM TRUEMAN

STEVE MARSHALL – Congratulations to STEVE when at the recent Sports Officials UK Awards, was presented with the Officials Developer of the Year award for his commitment to mentoring officials, which is highly praised.
STEVE is a national level field official but as a tutor, he has developed both online and practical solutions to improve athletics officiating knowledge. His ‘Gizmos and Gadgets’ sessions at conferences and his online webpage which shares inventions and tips to advise his colleagues, have been essential to the development of officials in athletics.
STEVE commented: “This is an unexpected honour which crowns an amazing year for me, athletics, officials and supporters. It is particularly special as it is an award from an organisation of officials wider than athletics; Sports Officials UK.”

GOOD WINTER NUTRITION FOR ATHLETES – The following was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently, and written by ANITA BEAN who is a registered sports nutritionist and author of The Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition (Bloomsbury £18.99)

Many athletes still ignore the basics of good winter nutrition. ANITA explains how to get it right
Are you fuelling your body with the right foods before, during and after training? By building some healthy eating habits you will help ensure you’re fit and ready for the cold, dark months of training.
Winter endurance training demands a lot of energy from your body and it’s all too easy to underestimate your needs. I still see a lot of athletes fuel up on sugary snacks and drinks instead of a well-balanced meal. When this happens, your body doesn’t get the proper energy, nutrients and fibre that it needs to perform at its best. Instead of getting stronger and faster, you’ll find it harder to recover after workouts and become more susceptible to illnesses and injury.
Focus on nourishing your body with nutrient-packed foods that will support your training plan. Replace highly processed foods with wholesome, unprocessed foods, such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, seeds, dairy products, lean meat and fish. As you step up your training volume, you’ll need to eat more calories and carbohydrates to support your training.
Carbohydrates remain the body’s preferred fuel, especially during hard training, and can be easily accessed for energy soon after consumption. Carbs also allow the body to burn fat for energy so some carbs are needed even for easy runs.
I always advise fuelling for your workout, eating more before long, hard sessions; less on easy or recovery days. For moderate or high-intensity sessions longer than an hour, aim for roughly 5-7g/kg a day.
For a 65kg athlete, that’s 325-462g. For long training sessions, your pre- and post-workout nutrition become more important. Here’s what to eat and drink before, during and after your session: Before- Have a meal that contains a combination of carbohydrate and protein, as well as a small amount of fat between two and four hours before you exercise. Suitable meals include a bowl of porridge with fruit and nuts; a jacket potato with cheese and salad, or a chicken or tofu stir-fry with rice.
If there will be a gap longer than 3-4 hours between your last meal and your workout, have a high-carb snack (such as a CLIF Bar Energy Bar, a banana or some dried fruit) and a drink 30-60 minutes before your run to ensure you have enough energy to complete your workout.
During – You should drink to thirst. As a guide, aim for 400-800mL per hour (if exercising longer than 30min) but adjust according to how much you sweat.
Also, when you exercise more than 90 minutes, you should consume 30-60g carbs every hour from about 60 minutes onwards (which equals 1-2 carbohydrate energy gels or four products such as CLIF BLOK Energy Chews).
After
Follow the three golden rules for recovery:
1. Rehydrate with plenty of fluid (replace each 1/2kg weight loss with 450-675mL fluid)
2. Refuel with carbohydrate to replace your body’s glycogen stores
3. Repair your damaged muscles with protein (aim for around 20g)
Recovery meals and snacks should contain carbohydrate (for energy), protein (for muscle repair), and plenty of fluids and electrolytes to replace sweat losses.
Try to eat soon after finishing your workout, remembering that recovery nutrition extends well beyond the initial hours after your workout.
If you plan to exercise again within eight hours, then take advantage of the two- hour ‘recovery window’. Otherwise, simply eat your usual meals at regular intervals throughout the day.
If there will be a gap longer than two hours between your run and your next meal, then consume a snack.
Suitable post-run snacks include a Clif Builder’s Protein Bar (which has 20g protein), 500ml of milk, a recovery drink, or 250ml strained Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts.
Training Tips
Fuel up before your early morning session
If you plan to do a session early in the morning before breakfast, you may find that a small high-carb snack (such as a Clif Shot Energy Gel, a banana or a slice of toast and honey) and some water 15-30 minutes before you exercise useful. It will raise your blood glucose levels and increase your endurance and performance.
Use Caffeine – Caffeine can really boost your training. Research shows that caffeine before exercise can improve your performance by reducing the perception of effort and helping you keep going longer. The optimal amount is around 3mg/kg of body weight (that’s 195mg for a 65kg athlete), equivalent to a double expresso. If coffee isn’t your thing, try an energy gel with caffeine containing 25mg.
You can take caffeine before a session or race for an early boost, or mid-way if you want an energy boost for the final stages. Everyone has an individual response to caffeine so make sure you experiment in training before using it in a race.
Avoid stomach problems
Gastrointestinal upset (including the ‘runner’s trots’) during hard runs is common among distance runners. Many athletes prefer to run on an empty stomach, but you can train your gut by regularly eating carbohydrate foods or drinks during training.
Start with very small amounts then gradually increase the portion and frequency. Avoiding high-fibre foods before hard training sessions may also help reduce symptoms.
Eat protein at each meal
If you train more than three times a week at a moderate or high intensity, then you’ll need more protein. This extra protein helps to repair and build muscle cells damaged during hard exercise.
Aim to have between 1.2 and 2.0g per kg body weight a day (that’s 78-130g for a 65kg athlete). Target 0.25-0.4g per kg of body weight at each meal (older athletes need more than younger athletes), which equates to 16-26g for a 65kg athlete.
Boost your immunity
Winter brings its own onslaught of problems in the form of colds and viruses. And it’s thought that the increased levels of hormones like cortisol and adrenaline associated with hard training inhibit the immune system.
Other factors, such as lack of sleep and a poor diet, can only make matters worse at this time of year. Here are my top tips for combating exercise-related suppression of immunity:

Match your calorie intake and energy expenditure in training – under eating will send cortisol levels soaring
Ensure you consume plenty of immune-boosting foods – vitamin A, C and E, vitamin B6, zinc, iron and magnesium are vital. Best sources are fresh fruit and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds as well as beans and lentils
Keep glycogen topped up. Low glycogen stores are associated with bigger increases in cortisol levels and greater suppression of your immunity
Drink plenty of fluid – it increases the production of saliva which contains natural antibacterial proteins that help to fight off airborne germs
Glutamine supplements can reduce the risk of infections as glutamine levels can fall by 20% during hard training
Quercetin supplements (100mg a day) taken during winter training may help to reduce the risk of infections, studies have shown.

HOW TO TREAT ACHILLES HEEL PROBLEMS – the following article was on the Athletics Weekly website recently, which was written by LAUREN GOWLAND who is a fifth-year medical student at Lancaster Medical School and a member of Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde AC.

Achilles tendon injuries afflict runners about 10 times more frequently than non-athletes of the same age. From Achilles tenosynovitis, Achilles tendinitis, Achilles tendinosis, Achilles rupture to Achilles tendinopathies, most of us have experienced the pain of them at some point in our careers. But what causes them and how do we treat and avoid them?
The Achilles tendon is the thickest tendon in the human body. It attaches the plantaris, gastrocnemius and soleus muscle to the posterior tuberosity of the calcaneus serving its main function to plantar flex the foot.
It is surrounded by a connective tissue sheath also known as a paratendon. This structure is highly vascular and allows the tendon to glide more easily with movement. All conditions are treatable, but with varying degrees of success. With the correct diagnosis and appropriate management measures put in place, recovery will usually take around three months.
But since the treatment options available are so vastly controversial, the risks and benefits of each option need to be thoroughly assessed and matched to each individual case before a final decision is made, so make sure you consult a medical expert if you are plagued by the problem.
In the meantime, here’s a guide that might help you.
Achilles tenosynovitis – This is inflammation of the sheath surrounding the tendon. It commonly causes fibrosis and scarring within the sheath restricting the range of motion of the Achilles tendon. Symptoms experienced with this condition include pain, tender swelling around the Achilles and crepitus on movement of the ankle joint.
Causes for this condition relate to having a tight calf and Achilles complex, changing the volume of training completed or changing the type of footwear being worn.
What to do: Management options for Achilles tenosynovitis can be divided into short and long term plans. Firstly, rest from the aggravating sport. Secondly, at the time of the injury, ice and compression should be applied for about 10-15 minutes every hour for 3-4 hours. This will ease pain along with reducing swelling and inflammation.
Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs may be given for a few days to a week to reduce inflammation also. Longer term management of Alfredson’s eccentric heel drops (see below), massage and a change in footwear is recommended.
Achilles tendinopathy – This is an umbrella term for clinical conditions in and surrounding the tendon. Medically speaking, tendinopathy is due to non-inflammatory, intra-tendinous collagen degeneration with fibre disorientation and thinning.
Under examination, the overall bulk of the Achilles tendon will increase while its overall strength will decrease. There two types of tendinopathy – insertional, where the Achilles joins to the calcaneus – and non-insertional, occurring approximately two to six centimetres from this point. Symptoms include increasing pain, stiffness around the tendon.
What to try: Heat and light walking are known to improve the symptoms whereas strenuous activity is likely to exacerbate them.
There are three main response stages. Firstly, reactive tendinopathy is a short-term response whereby the Achilles thickens and stiffens in an attempt to reduce the load being placed upon it. The tendon disrepair is due to delineation of the tendon fibres.
Finally, in the degenerative tendinopathy stage, which is more common in older athletes, due to chronic overloading, collagen becomes disorganised and the matrix begins to break down. Increased vascularity and neuronal ingrowth contribute to this stage.
Achilles tendinitis – Achilles tendinitis is inflammation of the Achilles tendon itself. There are two main locations where this occurs: firstly, at the insertion point where the tendon attaches to the calcaneus and secondly, at the mid-point of the tendon. In both cases the damaged tendon fibres may calcify providing symptoms of stiffness and pain.
There are many theories about what triggers it including overuse of the Achilles, muscle imbalance or weakness, decreased blood supply and tensile strength with aging or even malalignment such as hyper-pronation.
The tenocytes themselves produce Substance P and prostaglandin E2, inflammatory mediators, in response to increased loading. This subsequently leads to delineation of the tendon fibres.
What to try: There have been numerous studies conducted to determine the best treatment for Achilles tendinitis, but the outcome remains unclear. According to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE), first line management
for Achilles tendinopathies includes rest; stopping the precipitating sport that caused the injury.
Provide analgesia for the pain itself. Non-Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDS) are advised for an acute injury but longer term paracetamol would be preferable due to the lower risk of side effects.
In terms of easing symptoms, the application of ice packs or cold compresses to the area immediately after the injury will be of some benefit.
Achilles tendinopathy – A total of 66% of Achilles tendon problems occur in runners and it is down to characteristically chronic overuse of the Achilles tendon while training. Other causes of tendinopathy include extreme overloading such as rapid increase in training volume, poorly fitting footwear, change in running surface or excessive pronation of the foot. There’s also a genetic link with Achilles tendinopathy.
What to try: The treatment of Achilles tendinopathies is multifactorial and highly controversial. Initial approaches would be the same as recommended for Achilles tendinosis. Evidence suggests that eccentric rehabilitation programmes promote the most effective outcomes. The Achilles responds to this type of exercise as the fibres of the tendon are reorganised to deal with a higher load.
You could also try orthotic devices that marginally lift the heel or support the arch with the aim of reducing the strain on the tendon while it heals.
HOW TO DO THE HEEL DROP – One of the recommended exercise programmes based on eccentric heel drops was devised in 1998 by Dr HAKAN ALFREDSON, a Swedish sports medicine doctor. It is known as “ALFREDSON’S heel drop protocol” and the exercise regimen comprises three sets of 15 heel drops twice daily for 12 weeks.
The exact technique to perform these exercises involves the patient standing on a step with both heels overhanging. The patient lifts the injured heel off the step and raises the good heel to plantarflex the foot, still on the step.
Secondly, the weight is transferred onto the injured foot in the plantar flexed position, over the edge of the step.
Finally, to complete the exercise, the heel is slowly lowered over the edge of the step over approximately 10 seconds until the foot is in the dorsiflexed position. A variation is to bend the injured leg. This puts more weight through the tendon to strengthen it further.
WHAT ELSE TO TRY – Vary where you run: For example, run on grass or trail instead of road to reduce the load put through the Achilles tendon. Similarly, reassess the choice of footwear.
Change your footwear: Many runners who suffer with Achilles tendinopathies have a hyper-pronated running style. This is the movement of the subtalar joint into eversion, dorsiflexion and abduction. Finding a supportive shoe to help counteract some of this movement will reduce the susceptibility to such injuries.
Avoid steroid jabs: NICE does not support the use of steroid injections as a recognised treatment for Achilles tendinopathies as there’s an increased risk of tendon atrophy or rupture.
Try shock wave therapy: With this treatment, acoustic shockwaves are passed through the skin and directed at the Achilles tendon with the aim of boosting blood flow to the area and promoting regrowth of the tendon in a linear fashion.
Look for lasers: Low level laser therapy is thought to increase collagen production and reduce blood flow in new vessels. It’s best used as adjuncts to eccentric Achilles exercises.
Surgery as a last resort: Rarely, resistant Achilles tendinopathy may require open surgery to excise fibrous adhesions and degenerative nodules. Surgical methods are of main benefit in acute rupture as opposed to tendinopathies. Younger athletes with full rupture are more likely to benefit from surgical repair as risk of re-rupture is reduced. With a possible future sporting career the benefits of surgery are likely to outweigh any risk.

Photograph is of BETH about to win the Cardiff Triathlon, following this she competed in the Funchal ETU Sprint Triathlon European Cup event in Portugal dominating the field over the closing 5km run to take victory.

Once on to the run, BETH was in her element and gaining ground with every stride. Producing a run split of 16:44, which was more than a minute quicker than anyone else, Potter cut through the field from ninth place starting the run to take the lead. Indeed, by the time she reached the finish line she had extended her advantage to a dominating margin of 43 seconds, over THERESE FEUERSINGER (AUT), who last week finishing fourth in the ITU World Junior Triathlon Championships.

Also competing was LOUIS CROSS U20 who managed 11 laps (4480m) in a time of (16.07).

25TH EUROPEAN JUNIOR GOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 – Congratulations to GREG HURLEY who qualified as one of the 102 competitors and had an outstanding competition by finishing third on 4 under par. GREG opened with a par round, then recorded 4 under in round two, and a final par round to take the Bronze trophy. The winner finished on 8 under par.

The championships took place in Andalucia, Spain recently, which is widely regarded as the toughest test in junior golf in Europe. The first two rounds were played over the tough Alcaidesa Links and Heathland courses, in Spain’s beautiful southern region. Those making the cut played the final round at the prestigious Finca Cortesin course, where the Volvo World Matchplay was staged last month.

DARYLL NEITA AN ATHLETE ON THE RISE – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
Barely out of the junior ranks, DARYLL is already building an impressive sprints CV, writes Stuart Weir

No British Woman has ever reached the 100m final in the IAAF World Championships, so when DARYLL ran 11.16 to finish fourth in her semi-final in London in August, it represented the best performance ever by a GB athlete.
The 21-year-old first came to public attention when she finished second in the UK Championships and Olympic Trials in 2016. She recalls: “I would say I was a bit of an underdog going into the trials. No one expected me to come out where I did.
“But I decided a week before, ‘actually I do want to win this.’ So, I went into it thinking, ‘there is no reason why I can’t do well at the trials.’ “I went into it feeling confident and actually wanting to win it.”
She ran a PB of 11.23 to clinch second place. She added: “I shocked a lot of people because people did not know my capability and especially running under pressure. And I proved to myself that I could do it.”
Young talent – DARYLL started running at a very young age and was spotted in a primary school sports day in year 6. Her mum tells a story of how she was running in a park with her cousins. The cousins were a lot older than her but she ran away from them.
Her mum then made a life-changing decision, taking her to the local athletics club but they said she was too young. She joined after primary school and has been running ever since.
The 2015 season was her breakthrough year. She was selected for the European Junior Championships and despite running with a hamstring injury, finished fourth in the 100m in 11.69 seconds.
She then ran in the Anniversary Games in London and was selected for the 4x100m squad for the IAAF World Championships in Beijing. Although she did not run in Beijing, she looks back on it as “a positive year that put me into the senior scene” and she adds: “Beijing was a great experience and I think that prepared me for Rio because I understood what athletics was about and what a championship was like.”
Her reward for finishing second in the trials was selection for the European Championships in Amsterdam and the Olympics. At the Europeans, it was decided that she would just run the relay and not the individual 100m.
“Beijing was a great experience and I think that prepared me for Rio because I understood what athletics was about and what a championship was like”
She said of her experience in Amsterdam: “It was great competition and we came out with a medal as well. It was great momentum going into the Anniversary Games and gave us a lot of excitement. At the Anniversary Games, we ran a national record and going into Rio we were excited feeling that we could definitely come out with an Olympic medal.”
In the heat in Rio she missed the semi-final by three hundredths of a second. I have a vivid memory of that race as I bumped into her in the stadium and we walked together to the exit. She was so down on herself but one year later she reflects: “I was absolutely gutted because I had wished all my life to be in that position and it had come crumbling down in an awful fashion. I wasn’t happy with how I had performed or with how I handled the whole situation.”
When I pointed out that she was only three hundredths of a second from making the semi-final, she dismissed my comment, saying: “I know but I ran tragically badly.”
She feared she had blown her chance completely. “I thought I wasn’t going to be picked for the relay and my whole Rio experience was over,” she said. “When I was picked for the relay, it was like ‘thank God they have given me another chance’. And then to come out with a medal. In the space of three days, my whole life changed. I had never been so down and I have never been so happy – so it worked out well in the end.”
She said of the Olympic relay in which GB took the bronze behind USA and Jamaica: “It was amazing. We won our heat and we were thinking ‘we won that by quite a bit. In the final we can really go for it’. That gave us all the confidence we needed.
“We were thinking that all we needed to do was go out and do the same again or even improve. We really came together as a team. Everyone was supporting each other and there was great energy. Getting on the podium, the celebrations afterwards was all a dream and the best thing ever.”
London calling – DARYLL confirmed her place in London 2017 with second place in the trials behind ASHA PHILIP, running 11.25 into a 1.3m/sec headwind.
She also set two PBs this season – 11.20 for 100m at the England Under-23 Championships at Bedford and then 11.14 (again into a wind, this time 0.4m/sec) in the Müller Anniversary Games.
She went into London 2017 with confidence. “Rio showed me that I could definitely make the semi-final and who knows what could happen then,” she explains. “So I went into London this year way more confident, wanting to win, no matter who’s next to me in the race.”
That confidence showed when she won her London 2017 heat in 11.15, her second fastest time ever. She said: “It was absolutely amazing, winning in front of a home crowd – it was just the heat, I know there is more to come. A lot of anxiety has gone now.”
“I went into London this year way more confident, wanting to win, no matter who’s next to me in the race”
She would have needed to have run a PB to reach the final, which she missed by nine hundredths of a second. But having run 11.15 and 11.16 against a PB of 11.14, she let no one down. She said of the semi-final where she finished behind MARIE-JOSEE TA LOU, DAFNE SCHIPPERS and KELLY-ANN BAPTISTE but beat two Jamaicans and an American: “It was a pretty tough field and I actually feel like I did do decently well. I am known for having a poor start and I think it was really good. I’m someone who doesn’t put limits on myself massively and I’m always aiming for the best, I’m always aiming for the highest.”
Then she anchored the 4x100m team to a silver medal and, for a moment, it looked as if she was catching world champion TORI BOWIE. She remembers: “DINA passed to me in a really great position and I was like ‘I’m going to run for my life here,’ and that’s what I did and I crossed the line and we got silver. I knew she was going to go off really hard and I tried my best to stick with her but then she found another five gears.”

Running in the London Stadium was a special experience. She points out: “The stadium is 20 minutes from my house and I drive past it each day on my way to training. Every day I was thinking, ‘I need to be there on that podium’ and getting silver with the girls makes that dream come true.”
In 2012 she ran in a schools’ championship which was held as a test event in the Olympic Stadium. She won the gold medal. She recalls thinking: “I am running on this track before Usain Bolt – and then he can go and do what he needs to do on it.”
She was in the stadium watching the great man win the London Olympic 100m title. Now, five years later, she was back running in the same stadium in the same World Championships as BOLT and the experience did not disappoint. “When your name is announced, the stadium just roars, the loudest cheer ever. You get chills and feel the vibrations.”
Speaking after the relay, DARYLL mentioned getting a buzz from seeing BOLT and FARAH warm-up as she prepared for the relay, adding: “I’m very happy to be part of the generation which gets to say goodbye to BOLT while competing there as well.”
She won Olympic, world and European medals all before her 21st birthday, so I suspect there is a lot more to come from this young British sprinter.

GET WELL SOON TY – TY HOLDEN last Saturday morning fell over on a hill at Trent Park, he then turned up at the Metropolitan League looking worse for wear thinking it was a torn muscle, in fact he had dislocated his shoulder. TY managed to go to the Lee Valley Open Meeting on Sunday as well.
Following a Hospital visit he now has a sling and some mobility and can function! No cycling or lifting for a while though They struggled to get the shoulder back in and just gas was not enough so had to put him under to fix the problem (so unlikely it will ever come out again) which was all very time consuming plus a 3 hour wait in A and E.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SLEEP FOR ATHLETES – The following was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently, and was written by Professor JOHN BREWER who is head of the school of sport, health and applied science at St Mary’s University in Twickenham

Sleep is an often overlooked but vital component of athletics performance, as Professor John Brewer explains
Most of us spend approximately one third of our lives asleep, and it is easy to view this as time that is ‘wasted’, with little benefit for training or competing. However, sleep is an essential part of an athlete’s training, and is the time when many of the physiological adaptions to the stimulus of training takes place.
How we sleep – The human ‘body clock’ is regulated by a series of cycles known as the ‘circadian rhythm’, which determines areas such as digestion, hunger, body temperature and heart rate, as well as the time of day when we sleep.
Sleep scientists have found that we have a series of sleep phases each lasting approximately 90 minutes, which initially take us into alternating periods of deeper and lighter sleep, before gradually emerging to a lighter pre-awakening stage characterized by rapid eye movement, or REM.
How sleep aids recovery
It is during the deeper, non-rem phases, where sleep does most to help to support athletes. One of the first things to occur is the redistribution of blood supply, with over 40 per cent of the blood that normally goes to the brain during waking hours diverted to the muscles.
At the same time, hormones are released that help with the repair and growth of tissues, something that is essential after a long or intensive run or race. One of the main hormones that is released is human growth hormone, which plays an essential part in rebuilding and developing the proteins that constitute the muscle fibres that will have been repeatedly exposed to the rigours and stimulus of running. Muscle and liver glycogen stores will also be replenished, ensuring that energy reserves are at full capacity in time for the next run.
READ: Five things you should know about sleep
Immunity boost
There is also evidence to suggest that sleep helps to support the body’s immune system, something that is crucial if illness and infections are to be avoided. While asleep, the body releases proteins called cytokines.
Some of these help to promote sleep, while others are important in the fight against inflammation and infection, and to combat the physical stresses that are caused as a result of training.
Plan to sleep
Scientists and medical practitioners often recommend exercise during the daytime as a means of enhancing sleep quality, since the body responds to the need to recover and repair by increasing sleeping time and quality. However, since sleep involves a reduction in heart rate, core temperature and blood pressure, it is not advisable to finish a training session or run just before going to bed, because the residual effects of an elevated metabolic rate will make it much harder to fall asleep.
Sleep loss hampers performance
While there are clear and unequivocal benefits from sleep for athletes, continuous sleep loss can be a major issue, with the risk of injury, illness and fatigue all increasing. The amount of sleep that we require varies from one person to another, with 7–8 hours being the norm for most adults, athletes sometimes needing slightly more. So, sleep is as much a part of your training and preparation as your weekly sessions, and without the restorative effects of sleep it would be impossible to train effectively and compete.
Nevertheless, few athletes get a sound night’s sleep before a major competition, due to the combined effects of anxiety and the need to wake at an early hour to get to the start line.
While it is easy to panic if you are not sleeping well on the night before a race, I have never yet seen an athlete fall asleep while racing or competing. Keep things in perspective.

AAA APPLICATIONS FOR 2018 GRANTS NOW OPEN –The AAAs charity ‘Athletics for the Young’ is seeking applications from athletes under the age of 23 – who are in full time education or equivalent and not receiving other funding – to apply for assistance. Athletes should be eligible to compete for England.
Registered charity Athletics for the Young offer financial help to young athletes and aim to spread their money widely to as many as possible so athletes receiving help elsewhere will not usually be granted an award. The charity are particularly interested in helping genuine hardship cases for promising young athletes. The grant scheme supported in the past 4 members of the 2016 Olympic Team.
Over recent years, it has been the policy of the Charity to award small grants of the order of £50 to £200. This policy is not to the exclusion of the consideration of larger sums should your application or athletic project warrant.
The Grant Application form can be downloaded below and to qualify an applicant must be actively involved with athletics under age 23 and in full time education. Entries close 10th February 2018 and the AAA expect to advise awards by the end of April. Applications should be completed by applicants visiting Allianz Park on Tuesday and handwritten.
A downloadable version of the Grant Application available via www.englandathletics.org/AAA. It is possible to apply for funds for costs including equipment and travel.

Photograph of RICHARD and DAVID

RICHARD was formerly a non-executive director of London Marathon Events and is an independent director of the EFL (English Football League). A former group CEO of National Express Group and chair of the Strategic Rail Authority, he received a CBE for services to the rail industry in 2005.
RICHARD recently succeeded ED WARNER as Chairman of the national governing body.
This was his first visit to our Stadium and he was very impressed with the number of athletes and coaches training and the facilities that were available both outdoors and indoors including our clubhouse and the strength and conditioning suite. Club Treasurer GEOFF MORPHITIS explained the partnership arrangements with Saracens and Middlesex University as well as the opportunities to be provided when the new West Stand is built. Saracens Stadium Director, RICHARD GREGG, also gave the group a tour of the East Stand highlighting the available facilities and the excellent sporting memorabilia collection.

127TH SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING – Took place last Tuesday in the 100 Club in the East Stand at Allianz Park.

The Chairman TONY SUNDERLAND opened the meeting and welcomed everyone present. He followed the Agenda with Apologies for Absence and the acceptance of the minutes of the 2016 AGM. With no matters arising, he asked General Secretary PHILIP CUNNINGHAM to present the Annual Report. Philip firstly thanked all the Coaches and Officials whose dedication and professionalism were a big factor in the Club’s outstanding successes over the past 12 months. He confirmed that his full report could be found on the SBH website. The Treasurer GEOFF MORPHITIS was then asked to present his report. He gave a comprehensive review of the Club’s Accounts for the year ended 30 September 2017, and concluded that overall, the club was in a healthy financial position. The Chairman then presented the nominations for Club Officers and Vice Presidents. These were accepted en-bloc although he did point that there still a number of vacancies and invited persons to come forward to volunteer to fill them. The formal part of the meeting then ended with the Election of Vice Presidents and Life Members. The meeting then moved to the Presentation of Awards for the 2016/17 Cross Country Season and 2017 Track & Field Season.

On a personal note, I was honoured to take on the role of President of our fantastic club from David Bedford. I look forward to attending some of our fixtures over the next 12 months to see our club members in action. I was very pleased to see that the total attendance of 110 at the AGM was the best we have had for many a year. Presenting the awards meant I met many of our talented athletes, which I only knew in the past by name when typing up the newsletter. Finally, I would like to thank FIONA GROOM for taking over the organisation of the Awards Presentation and to her husband, KENNY, for providing the slideshow of photographs of SBH athletes in action in 2017. A great night was had by all.

THOMAS BUTLER finished 24th and JEREMY DEMPSEY 26th, finishing 1st and 2nd respectively in the Under 20 Category.

Summary of the day – Event 1 60m hurdles (8.47) won his heat placing him joint 3rd with a new PB taking .46 of a second off his 2016 time, Event 2 Shot (13.40m) a solid performance moving him up to first place, Event 3 200m (PB 24.10) taking .54 of a second off his 2016 time, lane 8 took its toll especially as in Jersey there is no Indoor track, EVAN in lane 8 struggled sprinting around the high tight bends, so, unfortunately, this saw him drop from 1st place down to 5th. Event 4 Long jump (6.42m) a good performance and a new PB (as his previous was wind assisted) and moved him back up to 4th place. Event 5 800m (PB 2.17) taking 7.55 seconds off his 2015 time, he ran the race well and beat the boy in third, but not by enough. Unfortunately, this heat was slow and he found himself stuck and unable to get around and pick up the pace. Final position 5th (3405 points) and won the Under 17 Field Award.
England took Silver and EVAN was the second highest scorer in the U17 England Boys team.

LONDON YOUTH GAMES – The countdown to the first London Youth Games event of the 2018 is now just 3 days until the prestigious Cross country event.

Following an exciting 2017 season celebrating the 40th anniversary of the London Youth Games, the Games are back for the 2017/2018 season. The anxiously awaited Cross Country competition will take place on Saturday 18 November at Parliament Hill, and this year is going to be biggest and best yet.
The 2017 event saw over 800 female participants and more than 900 male participants from nearly all of the London Boroughs battle it out at Hampstead Heath, and this year we hope to welcome even more competitors to the event.
Races will take place in the Under 11, Under 13, Under 15 and Under 17 age-groups, with medals presented to the top three in each age-group and the London Youth Games Cross Country Championships titles awarded to the best overall borough teams, Male and Female.
Each race is set to be hotly contested as London’s best young runners descend on Parliament Hill to take on the challenging course. All competitions will feature representatives from the majority of London borough teams, including several national and regional champions. So, watch out for some future athletics stars on the day!
2017 Jubilee Trophy winners, Bromley, will be keen to defend their Jubilee title by holding onto the Gold in the male competition and will be certainly be looking to snatch the female trophy from defending champions Wandsworth. Of course, it’s all to play for on the day as each borough will be keen to get the season off to a flying start.

BRITISH INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS – Take place on Saturday 17 February and Sunday 18 February, and not 10/11 February as they previously published. The championships take place at the English Institute of Sport, Coleridge Road, Sheffield (Satnav S9 5DA) full and final details still to be published.

The best of Britain will gather in Birmingham on the weekend of Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 February as they compete for the prestigious honour of being crowned British champion and battle for a place on the British Athletics team ahead of March’s IAAF World Indoor Championships, due to be held in the very same stadium from 1 – 4 March.
The event previously held in Sheffield, moves to the Arena Birmingham for the national indoor championships in 2018. This will give the athletes an opportunity to familiarise themselves with arena as they vie to earn a British vest for March’s global indoor championships, the second world athletics championships to be held in the UK in the space of seven months.
2017’s edition of the championships saw TOM BOSWORTH bring the house down by smashing his own British 5000m record, while ANDY POZZI – an athlete who would go on to win European Indoor gold just three weeks later – continued his rich vein of form on the indoor circuit with a world leading time of 7.44 to claim his fourth British indoor title.
In the field, highlights included LORRAINE UGEN’S winning leap of 6.72m to overcome a stacked field in the women’s long jump, while JADE IVE fed off great support from the back straight crowd to vault over 4.35m for pole vault gold, a personal best by some 15cm.
In a year, which will see three major championships in the IAAF World Indoor Championships, Commonwealth Games and European Championships take place in the space of six months, the weekend of 17-18 February will see hundreds of the country’s best athletes look to start 2018 with a bang.

BRITISH ATHLETICS ANNOUNCES KEY 2018 EVENT DATES AND SELECTION CONDITIONS –British Athletics has announced key dates for its events in 2018 and also confirmed that athletes seeking British team selection to major championships will be required to be present at British Championships events.
Next year the British Indoor Championships are heading to Birmingham ahead of the IAAF World Indoor Championships, but the event is set to clash with the BUCS Nationals indoor event in Sheffield on the same weekend.
The governing body also confirmed that the Müller Anniversary Games is to return to a two-day format in 2018, while “The Para Meet” will accompany “The Meet” as new fixture at the London Stadium in July.

Key events
February 17-18: British Athletics Indoor Championships
February 25: Müller Indoor Grand Prix Glasgow
June 30 – July 1: British Athletics Championships
July 14: The Para Meet and The Meet
July 21-22: Müller Anniversary Games
August 18: Müller Grand Prix Birmingham

Staged in Birmingham for the first time, British Athletics says the indoor championships weekend on February 17-18 will “replicate the world championships experience ahead of the World Indoor Championships” taking place at the same Arena Birmingham venue two weeks later.
Athletes vying for British team selection for the World Indoors will be required to compete at the British Championships, the governing body said, with British Athletics also confirming that the outdoor British Championships will be mandatory for those targeting British team places for August’s European Championships.
“2018 will build on the success of 2017, when over one million tickets were sold for UK athletics events, showing that the appetite for track and field remains very strong,” said UK Athletics chief executive Niels de Vos.
“Elsewhere we have already had massive pre-sale interest in our new summer event “The Meet”, an event we expect will deliver another Olympic Stadium sell-out.
“2018 will be the year we elevate both our British national championships, starting in February with the bold step of taking the indoor championships to a world class venue (Birmingham), just two weeks out from the already largely sold out IAAF World Indoor Championships at the same venue.”
He added: “Critically too, a mandatory condition of selection for major championships is to be present at the British championships, guaranteeing to showcase all the best athletes in the UK.”

LONDON’S PARLIAMENT HILL IS TO HOST THE EUROPEAN EVENT NEXT MAY – The European 10,000m Cup is to take place in Britain for the first-time next year as it forms part of the Highgate Harriers Night of the 10,000m PBs.

On May 19, London’s Parliament Hill track will welcome athletes from across Europe as well as the UK as the innovative, volunteer-powered Night of the 10,000m PBs event returns for the sixth year.
“It is a great pleasure to take the European 10,000m Cup to Britain at last,” said European Athletics president SVEN ARNE HANSEN.
“The Night of the 10,000m PBs has become a very popular event very quickly, which goes to show how well-organised it is and also that there is a need for top-quality races in Europe over 25 laps of the track.
“Integrating the Cup into the Night of 10,000m PBs will move both events to another level and heighten interest in both events. I think it is a win-win situation for both parties and shows European Athletics’ willingness to embrace new competitive concepts.”
He added: “I think it’s highly likely that the leading runners in London will be in contention for medals in the distance events at the Berlin 2018 European Athletics Championships later next summer.
“Last year, the Night attracted a large number of running celebrities on and off the track, including the IAAF President SEBASTIAN COE and marathon world record-holder PAULA RADCLIFFE.

BEN LLOYD TWIN INSPIRATION – The following article was published in Athletics Weekly recently.

WAYDE VAN NIEKERK and ANN GIBSON are two people who do not, it would seem, have a great deal in common.
The former is an athletics megastar from South Africa and the latter an octogenarian from St Albans.
VAN NIEKERK, the Olympic and World champion and World record-holder at 400m, is someone BEN particularly admires. They met – almost – in August. “At London 2017 I stayed behind in the empty stadium and waited by the media area until he came by me,” explains BEN. “I was hoping to get his autograph but got ushered away by security.”
There are no barriers, though, to this lad speaking with MRS GIBSON, as she’s his grandmother. “She comes to everything I do and has been there for me right from the start,” says BEN.
One thing is obvious BEN’S Nana has rightly beamed with pride at his 400m hurdles performances this year. They include him retaining the English Schools title also victories at the England Championships, School Games and SIAB International.
He also ran 52.98, taking him to the top of the UK 2017 rankings for his age-group.
Looking back to earlier years, BEN is keen to mention a PE teacher at his primary school. MISS WESTON, he says was “athletics mad” and got to carry the Olympic torch on his recommendation.
BEN also recalls the summer of 2015. Then, having achieved English Schools qualifying marks for 300m, 800m and triple jump, he won silver in the latter at Gateshead.
That was a prelude to, however, to the London-born athlete switching events. “I eventually decided, after speaking with STAN MADIRI, my coach, I no longer wanted to triple jump. Out of curiosity I tried the 400m hurdles and found myself climbing the rankings. I went from thinking I wouldn’t make the English Schools (in 2016) to believing I could win it.”
Even though BEN faced more experienced hurdlers in the final (again at Gateshead) and his nerves were shredding – ‘I threw up at breakfast”, he says candidly – the then 15 year-old was in his element once the gun fired and went on to an outstanding victory.
This year, in keeping his title, BEN came from behind with 100m to go. “The home straight is my strength and I pulled away after the final hurdle,” he explains.
It is clear BEN analyses his performances deeply, it is equally true his coach does the same. He philosophises, too. “If you win, don’t let it get to your head; if you lose, don’t let it get to you heart,” is one of his theories. “The athlete is the seed and all you can do is give it water and sunlight,” is on of STAN’S nuggets.
BEN can also use flowery, but absolutely correct, language. “Throughout my races,” he muses, “I have to keep a constant level of acuity despite fatigue. I have a task to adhere to and I must execute it.” Acuity – I had to look that word up – means mental sharpness.
BEN meanwhile, hopes Arsenal can show similar ability this season. His home is no more than a mile or so from the Gunners’ famous training ground at London Colney; and he is a fervent fan of the FA Cup holders.

PHILLIPE BROWN – Following last week’s article on PHILLIPE, who was a member back in the 1970’s, RAY POWELL has searched his phenomenal memory regarding the 2 photographs published, and sent me the following.
The first photo is from the Watford open cross country in 1975, not sure if you can make out the Shaftesbury runner behind me, it was PHILIP LLEWELYN, this was the only time that I was ever in front of PHIL in a race. It was short lived as he won the race, DAVE SWEENEY was second and I was third, with PHILLIPE finishing 7th.
The second photo was from the 1976 Barnet Schools cross country champs at Copthall, which I won with DAVE in 2nd place and PHILLIPE in 3rd, this was the one and only time that I beat DAVE in a race, his excuse was that he had a heavy cold.
DAVE, PHILLIPE and myself used to meet at the footbridge to the entrance to Copthall, on a Monday and Wednesday nights running about a mile from our homes in Mill Hill, Hendon and Colindale to the footbridge where we went on to do our training sessions.

POST BOXES – Published in the 12 October Newsletter was an article on RAY POWELL’S post boxes in his home town of Shefford. RAY was interviewed recently on the latest revelations, be warned you may wish to have a box of tissues nearby – https://www.newsflare.com/video/157068/entertainment-arts/royal-mail-repaint-post-boxes-smartened-up-by-decorator

A LOOK BACK TO THE 1970’s – PHILIPPE BROWN recently contacted us, looking to purchase a Shaftesbury vest and shorts, as his original (cotton) vest disintegrated decades ago. A parcel has now been dispatched, express delivery.

PHILIPPE was a member of (then) Shaftesbury Harriers back in the 70’s, running in the Colts, Boys and Youths team, mainly in X-Country. Being a Metropolitan League statistician I managed to trace his first race as a 13-year-old, which was at the Hainault on 12 October 1974, and in the same race was PHILLIP CUNNINGHAM, PHIL LLEWELYN, RAY POWELL and ANDREW SMITH.

PHILIPPE told me he remembers with great fondness HAROLD ASHTON, who was president for many of the years running for the club. I ran with the CUNNINGHAM bros, RAY POWELL, DAVID SWEENEY amongst others. I was coached for a good while by BRYAN SMITH, who I am glad to see, like yourself is still very much involved in the club. I would sometimes attend committee meetings at a house on Hendon Way I think…the other day I found a box full of old committee minutes & newsletters from back in the day, which I had held onto and a lot of old memories were brought back.

The last 12 years or so I have resided in Brussels, Belgium and latterly in Bereldange, Luxembourg. Since my early 40’s I took up running again. At the age of 55 I am still running OK for my age, and competitively, managing a sub 69 min 20km and 37min 10kms this year and looking to improve still. I have never been a member of a club here in Luxembourg, but would love if possible to wear the colours of SBH…my last SH (cotton) vest disintegrated decades ago.

The first photograph shows PHILIPPE in the ‘Watford Harriers Open on the 17 January 1976, in which he finished in 7th place, with RAY POWELL just ahead in 3rd place.

WORLD INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS BIRMINGHAM 2018 – The following was published recently on the Athletics Weekly website.

During a recent visit to Birmingham, 14 IAAF staff spent time at the arena as part of a two-day workshop to help plan the Championships, which will see more than 400 athletes from 150 countries take part in six sessions of competition from March 1 to 4.
The IAAF received updates from representatives of all the local organising committee’s functional areas, including competition, event presentation, accommodation, ticketing, accreditation and protocol.
Arena Birmingham, which hosted the ninth edition of the World Indoors in 2003, was the venue for the 2007 European Indoor Championships and has also regularly staged the Indoor Grand Prix since it opened its doors in the early 1990s.
“This is a vastly experienced local organising committee and we are confident their planning and preparation are on track to deliver an amazing IAAF World Indoor Championships next March,” said the IAAF’s competition and events director, PAUL HARDY, who led the delegation. “The momentum of the extremely successful IAAF World Championships in London this summer is rolling on to Birmingham where great competition, innovation and organisation can be expected.”
JOAN DRUSE, championships director, said: “We were delighted to welcome the IAAF back to Birmingham. The two-day workshop was extremely useful and gave us an opportunity to provide an update on all the hard work we have done so far and to talk in detail with our IAAF counterparts about our plans for the Championships.
“With less than 150 days to go, it is a crucial time for the organising team as we work towards delivering the best ever IAAF World Indoor Championships
The IAAF World Indoor Championships Birmingham 2018 is being jointly organised by Birmingham City Council and British Athletics, in close co-operation with the team at Arena Birmingham and all three organisations were represented at the workshop.
Tickets for the Championships are selling fast but there are currently still some available for the first two sessions; on the evening of Thursday March 1 and the morning of Friday March 2. The opening night will see three straight finals, with medals in the women’s high jump, men’s high jump and women’s 3000m all up for grabs.

BALLOT RESULTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2018 VIRGIN MONEY LONDON MARATHON – The wait is over. From Monday 2 October the 386,050 applicants for the 2018 Virgin Money London Marathon will find out if they have been successful in the ballot and have a place in the race on Sunday 22 April.

The world record number of hopefuls was 73,586 up from the previous UK applicant record of 253,930 for the 2017 event – an increase of nearly 29 per cent. A total of 58,534 people applied in the overseas ballot. Just over 58% of the UK applications for 2018 were from people who have never run a marathon and more than 45% of the total UK applicants were women (also a new record).
The ballot is a completely random draw, just like the National Lottery, so everyone who applies has an equal chance of success.
Everyone who has won a place in the ballot will receive a confirmation letter and magazine through the post. Unsuccessful applicants will receive either a magazine or will be emailed an e-zine.
Applicants who have not received their ballot result are asked to wait until Monday 9 October before contacting the London Marathon helpdesk.
“The Virgin Money London Marathon is the most popular marathon on the planet with a world record number of people applying in the ballot for 2018. Unfortunately, that means a huge number of people will be disappointed after the ballot,” said Hugh Brasher, Event Director of the Virgin Money London Marathon. “But I’d remind everyone that there is still a chance to gain a place in the 2018 race by fundraising for a charity. Charities with places available are listed on our website.”
Runners in the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon raised more than £61.5 million for charity setting a new record for an annual single day charity fundraising event for the eleventh successive year. That brought the total raised for charity by the world’s greatest marathon to more than £890 million since the event was founded in 1981.

COACHING JAVELIN TECHNIQUE – The following was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
British record-holder GOLDIE SAYERS runs through javelin technique basics

It is very easy to over-complicate javelin throwing. This is mainly because it is such a complex sequence of movements that have to occur in order, and at speed.
In order to try and keep things simple, I am going to highlight the key fundamentals of throwing a javelin a long way that every athlete would do well to remember from time to time.
Fundamental No.1: Acceleration
Athletes forget that acceleration is a skill. It needs to be trained. The fastest part of the run-up has to be at the delivery end of the throw, not at the start of the run-up. To do this, start slowly and accelerate.
So, follow these rules:
» Practise the skill of acceleration in your running and sprinting training. You must be able to tolerate the speed you create on the run-up and perform a sequential series of movements, so I would recommend starting slower and accelerating. Starting your run-up like a ‘bat out of hell’ only creates a rushed (and therefore shortened) throw if you cannot tolerate the acceleration when it matters.
» If your javelin is not going further as your run-up increases in length, then either shorten your run-up or really work on a controlled acceleration. This can only occur by starting slower than you think.
Remember: As javelin throwers, the reason we sprint and learn correct running mechanics is so that running at around 80% pace on the runway becomes effortless. We can then also accelerate. As you stand at the back of the run-up, I challenge you to start as slowly as you can.
Fundamental No.2: Withdrawal
The withdrawal is just that – taking the javelin back. Two words for this change from forwards to sideways running: smooth and gradual. Any rushed and jerky movements will take you off balance and make you look like you are fighting yourself down the run-up. So, slow down the withdrawal (in the upper body) and see how much easier it is to gradually accelerate on the run-up:
» Be aware that the start of the withdrawal should occur in conjunction with the opposite foot. For a right-handed javelin thrower, the withdrawal should start from the left foot. Just think of a forehand in tennis – opposite hand to lead foot. This way your back doesn’t endure too much torsion and the legs are free to move efficiently.
» Try not to bring the left foot across to the right side your body as you turn sideways. Blocking your body/right leg with your left foot across you in your cross-overs causes you to veer off to the right in the run-up. It also makes it hard to get your right foot past your left in your cross-overs and almost impossible to move in a straight line.
» I always used to think about the run-up and withdrawal as running down a narrow corridor. Keep the left arm parallel to the ground (like the javelin) and working in conjunction with the legs i.e. moving over a horizontal, not vertical plane.
Remember: No wasted movements = no wasted forced = good health = long throws
Fundamental No.3: Impulse
The impulse or ‘time in the air’ from the penultimate left foot contact (if right-handed) is imperative to the throw as it allows time for the legs to get back in front of the thrower in the final crossover and therefore helps set up the correct body angle for the throw. If, as a thrower, you feel like your delivery is rushed and not a ‘pull’ but rather a ‘push’, it could well be to do with the fact that you have not created a big enough impulse stride.
» The impulse allows for full extension of the lateral left hip and therefore creates a ‘sling shot’ effect with the left leg getting back ahead of the thrower in time for the left leg block. Note that an active right foot has a big job to do in this, too. However, if the impulse and left leg extension is not big enough then it is likely that the athlete’s right foot will land behind their centre of mass and their legs will barely play any part in the throw at all.
» The rhythm of the final three strides in effect is LONG (left), QUICK (right), BLOCK left).
» A very important point to note is that the impulse/time in the air should be created horizontally not vertically. What goes up must come down so travelling up too high in the impulse means more force to absorb with the right leg (on landing) and a slower right to left foot block contact time.
Remember: If in doubt and you’re timing is out, drive off your penultimate left foot contact and turn a push into a pull.
Fundamental No.4: Throwing position
The throwing or power position is critical. This is the point at which the body creates a bow for the arrow (the javelin). By contrast, in the pole vault the body is the arrow and the pole is the bow. The throwing position also enables the javelin ‘pull.’
» In order to get into the ‘inverted C’ position, it is important for your right foot to turn quickly when it lands to move into a fixed left leg block.
» It is imperative that there has been full extension off the left leg in the impulse stride which enables the legs to get ahead of your centre of mass in the air so you then have your legs out in front of you when you land. You then have something to pull the javelin against.
» The quickly-turned right foot into left leg block gets the hip ahead of the hand (which you can completely leave alone until the rest of the body has done its work) which not only creates the inverted C shape but also the height of release and mid-flight in the throw. In all striking sports and throwing events, the power is generated from the hip.
» If you have done all these things in the correct sequence then you will find that your right hand is behind your right foot as your left foot lands creating length, pull and distance. Thoracic mobility is also important to really gain excellent range of movement in the throwing position.
» From my experience, to get from the right to the left foot quickly (something most javelin throwers struggle with) I would recommend thinking of the right foot as weightless as this will enable the heel to whip out and the hip to turn in. As soon as you think of forcing the right knee/hip in, you will have loaded the quad up and invariably slowed the movement down. However, everyone has their own preferences. If your own is working and you’re not sinking when you land on your right foot then stick with it.
Fundamental No.5: Point control
» Keep the javelin flat throughout the run up.
» As you come to throw, the javelin often lifts up and the mid flight of the javelin comes from the hip and not from throwing at a steep angle – you’ll only increase drag on the javelin in flight if the angle is too steep.
» Keep arm and hand relaxed and tucked in behind the line of the shoulder in your crossovers.
» Lay the javelin along your forearm and keep it that way as you come to throw the javelin – the elbow should rotate up and over the shoulder at strike.
Fundamental No.6: The throw
The main thing in the throw/delivery is the ability to rotate the shoulder which allows the elbow and then hand to throw over the top of the shoulder (and not out to the side of it). It is helpful to think about throwing down a narrow corridor which doesn’t allow any lateral movement.
This is where throwing a javelin is different to throwing a ball. It is possible to throw a ball around any axis – think about how a cricketers throws – but a javelin has to be thrown through its linear length and in line with the body.
This is not only good for distance but also for optimal release height. It is also critical for elbow and shoulder health as throwing out to the side of the shoulder puts unnecessary strain through the elbow especially. Throwing directly over the shoulder also enables vertical velocity of the javelin (lift).
Relaxation in the upper body is important as is letting the shoulder go after release. The most important thing in javelin throwing is that it looks and feels like a pull and not a push of the javelin.
Fundamental No.7: Recovery
Being too close to the line coming into the throw subconsciously causes the body to shrink and shorten to try and stay behind it. Giving yourself space behind the line allows you to create length, pull and follow through which gives you distance. Don’t be afraid to take your run up back. I would recommend throwing at least 1.5 to two metres behind the line to allow for a good follow through and recovery.
If you struggle staying behind the line when you throw (which many do), practise your run up away from the runway and make it based on rhythm, not check marks. That way, you will be relying on internal, not external cues giving you more control over your run up.
If you can’t stay behind the line in competition then don’t practise going over it in training. Remember, PBs don’t count if your foot goes over the line so make room for the recovery – it will make for longer throws but no fouls.
Remember: Enable your body to get into a powerful position first and enjoy using the torque you will create with your whole body to produce a catapult-like effect for the javelin.

CLEAN ATHLETICS ADVICE, BE AWARE WHEN BUYING COUGH, COLD OR FLU MEDICATION – Cold, cough and Flu season is upon us. Please remember off-the-shelf and over- the-counter remedies may contain PROHIBITED substances. Make sure you and athletes you know are aware of how to check before buying remedies.
To find out more please see www.uka.org.uk/cleanathletics/check-your-medication/. Medicines bought in the UK, USA, Canada, Switzerland, Australia or Japan, can be checked using GlobalDRO (www.globaldro.com).
When checking medication on GlobalDRO, the status of the substance will be provided for in-competition and out-of-competition and will be one of the following:
Prohibited – The substance is prohibited in this form and will return a positive test if found in an athlete’s system.
Conditional – There is a limit to the amount of this substance an athlete can have present in their body, or there are conditions on the methods of its use (eg it can only be inhaled and not taken in tablet form). This is clearly detailed and care should be taken when taking a prescribed dose.
Not Prohibited – The substance is not currently on the WADA Prohibited List.
100%me Clean Sport App
Another very useful way to ensure you are fully aware of the latest anti-doping information is to use the 100%me Clean Sport App. This App is available to download via iTunes, Googleplay or the Windows Store and provides athletes, coaches and athlete support personnel with essential information on-the-go to help them participate in doping-free sport.
The App, which can be customised for your sport, provides clear and concise anti-doping advice, guidance and updates to ensure you can be clean and stay clean wherever you are training or competing.
If you need to check your medication, learn more about the risks with supplements, or simply understand more about the testing procedures and your rights as an athlete, the App is the place to start.
UK Anti-Doping (UKAD) ensures the App is always up-to-date and will send out alerts to inform you if anything important has changed. That means if a new substance is added to the WADA Prohibited List or a deadline is approaching for Whereabouts submissions, you will be the first to know.
Other features include the ability to record and store information about your medications for doping control, plus directly access the Report Doping in Sport online form.
More information on this handy App can be found here www.uka.org.uk/cleanathletics/clean-sport-app/.
And remember there is a Free Anti-Doping Module at uCoach.
This online course is available to all coaches, and others involved in athletics, to help make you more aware of the policies and procedures involved in Anti-Doping. The module is completely free to take and it is worth remembering that the anti-doping policies covered apply to all competing athletes. Once complete this module will be added to your digital coaching record but will not show on your coaching licence. To access this module please go to www.ulearnathletics.com/qualification/270

ELIUD KIPCHOGE WINS BERLIN MARATHON THRILLER – Kenyan confirms status as world No.1 when beating unheralded newcomer GUYE ADOLA as WILSON KIPSANG and KENENISA BEKELE fail to finish

ELIUD KIPCHOGE showed again why he is the No.1 marathon man in the world right now – and perhaps of all time – when he won the BMW Berlin Marathon on Sunday. The 32-year-old Kenyan owns the fastest marathon time in history, the Olympic title and here in Germany he clocked 2:03:32 to beat a star-studded field.
In rainy conditions, there was no world record and the anticipated head-to-head with KIPSANG and BEKELE did not materialise as the two big names dropped out before 35km, but Berlin still saw a terrific race as KIPCHOGE withstood the challenge of the relatively unknown marathon debutant GUYE ADOLA of Ethiopia.
ADOLA, 27, went into the race with a half-marathon best of 59:06 from Delhi in 2014 but has found his best distance now as he ran the fastest ever debut marathon of 2:03:46 to finish runner-up. Ultimately ADOLA finished 100 metres behind Kipchoge as the runners charged toward the finish at the Brandenburg Gate under leaden skies, but just 2km earlier the Ethiopian was poised to cause a huge surprise as he led KIPCHOGE by around 10 metres.
Maintaining his composure, KIPCHOGE reeled ADOLA back before surging clear himself with 1km to go. Behind, KIPSANG and BEKELE were nursing their bruises. Former world record-holder KIPSANG abruptly stopped at 30km, while BEKELE was dropped as the pack passed halfway in 61:29 and the world 5000m and 10,000m record-holder battled on for a while before pulling out.
“I am disappointed that the world record wasn’t possible today but I am happy to run this time in these conditions,” he said. “I did not expect anyone other than BEKELE and KIPSANG with me at the finish line but this is sport and I am very happy for him that he ran such a great race.”
The marathon is an unpredictable event and there were surprises galore with a number of drop-outs, but KIPCHOGE has now built an incredibly consistent record with victories in nine of his 10 marathons and the only defeat coming against KIPSANG in 2013 when he ran 2:04:05 behind KIPSANG’S world record of 2:03:23.

NEW OFFICIALS REQUIRED FOR 2018 – WE NEED YOU NOW – SBH is enjoying a real boom in new members particularly in the younger age groups. As a result, we now participate in 4 Track & Field Leagues throughout the summer from April to September. At each fixture, participating clubs are expected to supply their share of officials. Generally, this means a field team who can take charge of any of the 8 field events, plus track officials and timekeepers. In addition, the promoting club will be required to provide, a chief timekeeper, a track referee, a field referee, a starter team and more.
SBH has an excellent team of dedicated officials but we now need more volunteers to help the Club fulfil its obligations. Our senior officials are well respected and work hard but we need some new blood. Anyone over the age of 16 can become a qualified official.
Why Officiate? There’s a whole host of motivations why people officiate in athletics:

o   You may want to give something back to the sport you love;
o   You may be currently injured and want to still be involved in your club;
o   You may want to help improve your knowledge of athletics and improve your skills;
o   It’s a great way to become involved with your local community, meet people and make new friends;o   You will get to experience the sport from a different angle;
Officiating also provides an opportunity to:
o   Learn new skills, levels of responsibility and much more;
o   Undertake accredited training; and
o   Get a reference; employers are generally impressed by the skills and commitment of volunteers.

Would you like to join the club’s team of officials? It’s important and interesting work, it’s at the heart of athletics, and it’s very friendly and sociable. You will be welcomed warmly. There are training courses and lots of help and advice available.

Indeed, the next round of ‘entry level’ courses will be held quite soon, on Saturday 7 October at Allianz Park, Greenlands Lane, Hendon NW4 1RL:
Time Course           Course Number
10:00 – 12:00   L1 Officials – Health & Safety   LO0135HS
12:30 – 15:00   L1 Officials – Track Judge LO0135TJ
12:30 – 16:30   L1 Officials – Field Judge LO0135FJ

EUROPEAN CHAMPION JUNIOR CLUBS CUP – Took place in Brno, Czech Republic on 16 September, featuring the following countries – SBH v DENMARK v ITALY v LITHUANIA v NETHERLANDS v PORTUGAL v SPAIN v TURKEY
The 39th ECCCJ was held in the historic university city of Brno, the 2nd largest city in the Czech Republic. Unfortunately, the weather was disappointing with light rain falling all day but this did not limit the enthusiasm of the 16 participating teams from all over Europe in this Premiership Division meeting.

SHAFTESBURY BARNET HARRIERS were again representing GB&NI in the separate men’s competition. Although reigning champions, SBH were not as strong as in previous years, the main opposition looked very impressive on paper and so it turned out. Last year’s runners-up, Fenerbahce Sports Club were in awesome form and were winners of both the Men’s and Women’s competitions.
Team Result – 1st Fenerbahce Sport Club (Turkey 115 points), 2nd Sparta AM (Denmark 111 points), 3rd Sport Lisboe E Benfica (Portugal 101 points), 4th Playas De Castellon (Spain 86 points), 5th SBH (82 points), 6th PAC (Netherlands 69 points), 7th Nike Klaipeda (Lithuania 58 points), 8th Fiamme Gialle Simoni (Italy 57 points)

SBH eventually finished comfortably in mid-table thereby securing GB&NI Premiership competition in 2018.

The 100m was a tense affair as the SBH athlete, DITA JAJA, had spent most of Friday night / Saturday morning in the Brno Emergency Hospital with a serious middle ear infection. Fortunately, the treatment worked, and DITA charged through for 2nd place in (10.96). He then anchored the 4x100m team with LUKE SMITH, PHOENIX LYON and JACOB BERKELEY for the silver medal in (42.25), the 2nd fastest time by a UK U20 club team in 2017.
MATTHEW PAGAN was in great form in the 400m repeating his victory of 2016 in Castellon with a win in (48.26). He then teamed up with JACK FITZPATRICK, LOUIS OCTAVE and BEN LLOYD to pick up the Bronze medals in (3:20.06), the fastest time by a UK U20 club team in 2017.
The 400m Hurdles was a class event and it was the first race at this height for BEN LLOYD. Although the youngest in the field, the double English Schools Champion ran (54.88) to secure the Bronze medal beating a number of hurdlers with much faster times.
The GEORGE HARRISON coached middle distance group competed well with the highlight being an imperious victory in the 1500m by HAMZA KADIR, this year’s English Schools champion, whose (56.9) last lap completely destroyed the 3.42 runner, Mario Garcia, from Spain, amongst others, to bring home the Gold medal.
The Hammer probably produced the outstanding performance of the day where ALIAKSANDR SHYMANOVITCH of Belarus with a best of (81.73m) and the European Junior silver medallist in 2017, won the event competing for Benfica with (75.62m). BILLY PRAIM-SINGH was inspired by the competition and threw his best ever series and his 3rd best ever distance of (62.79m) to secure the Bronze.
The Javelin produced the surprise result of the day when DANIEL BAINBRIDGE with a PB of (62.46m) with his final throw moved him up from Bronze to Gold.
The meeting inspired many of the younger team members for whom this was the first experience of international inter-club competition.

MELISSA’S MILE MOMENT – MELISSA COURTNEY competed in the mile event at the recent Great City Games in Gateshead. With Kenya’s WINNY CHEBET the world 1500m semi-finalist might have been considered the favourite, MELISSA’S ‘give it a go’ approach paid off as she ended season with a win.
After a well-judged race the recent Welsh 3000m record-breaker, who finished fifth in the World University Games 1500m in Taipei, clocked (4:33.83) ahead of CHEBET’S (4:34.42). Dropping down in distance, British steeplechaser ROSIE CLARKE also impressed in third in (4:34.60).

MELISSA relaxing in Taipei in between GREGORY THOMPSON and ALLAN SMITH

“I’m so happy to finish this season on such a positive note,” said MELISSA. “I think WINNY CHEBET was definitely one of the firm favourites but I had a really good run on Wednesday night so I knew I was in good shape. I thought ‘just go for it, if it pays off, if it doesn’t then what have I got to lose?’”
After a break, her focus will turn to securing her spot on the Welsh team for the Commonwealth Games in Gold Coast, with the 1500m and 5000m the aim.

PARIS AND LA TO HOST 2024 AND 2028 OLYMPICS – IOC makes historic decision to confirm identity of cities which will follow on from Tokyo

The International Olympic Committee has officially confirmed Paris as host city of the 2024 Games, with Los Angeles performing the same role in 2028.
In what was an historic, simultaneous awarding at the IOC meeting in Lima, Peru, there were no surprises in the identity of the locations which will follow on from Tokyo in 2020.
Both Paris and Los Angeles had been looking to host the 2024 Games, before agreement was reached earlier this year for the Californian city, the location for the Games in 1932 and 1984, to wait a further four years. The IOC voted in June to award the 2024 and 2028 Games simultaneously.
This decision has been a long time coming for Paris, with the French capital having tried and failed to win the 2008 and 2012 Olympic bids. The last time the Games were held there was 1924.
“Congratulations to Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028! This historic double allocation is a ‘win-win-win’ situation for the city of Paris, the city of Los Angeles and the IOC,” said the IOC President, Thomas Bach.
“It is hard to imagine something better. Ensuring the stability of the Olympic Games for the athletes of the world for the next 11 years is something extraordinary. These are two great cities from two great countries with a great Olympic history. Both cities are very enthusiastic about the Games and are promoting the Olympic spirit in a fantastic way.”

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BECOME A TOP STEEPLECHASER – The following appeared on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
A British Milers’ Club seminar earlier this year produced a wealth of knowledge and advice, and Matt Long asked four-time national steeplechase champion, Luke Gunn, and 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games steeplechaser, Spencer Duval, for their top tips for youngsters progressing in the event.

Don’t specify too soon – “Physical preparation for the chase has to be underpinned by the development of elasticity, robustness and mobility,” says Gunn. His advice is to concentrate on general conditioning and physical preparation over a period of months, before moving on to more event specific work such as run overs and strides.
“Calf raises, squats, lunges and bridges were all part of my regime in the early phases of my periodisation cycle and I then progressed on to bunny hops, squat jumps, split squats and step drops,” he says. “When progressing on to box drops, the golden rule of skill acquisition is to move from double leg to single leg landings.”
Jump to it – It’s vital to prepare for the loading forces that come with the jumps. For males, the water jump drop and resulting impact occurs from their hips being at around six feet in the air, with females it’s a drop from hips being between four-five feet in the air.
“Jumps inevitably involve tendon loading and should be performed when you are fresh rather than fatigued, to start off with,” Gunn says. “So the golden rule is to acquire the skill first and before training when under stress and fatigue”.
Get hurdling – “You ideally need once weekly sessions for the novice run over hurdles rather than the more intimidating wooden barriers,” advises Duval. “When training, coaches can move hurdles into different lanes, place cones in front of barriers and even consider using their own bodies as mild obstructers by moving in front of hurdles during training. This obviously has to be appropriately risk assessed by the coach to avoid athlete injury but if done so appropriately the inherent physicality and unpredictability of racing can be simulated.”
Take to the water – Apprehensions and anxieties about the water jump are plentiful. “For most people, this can be eased with adequate practise of placing the foot on the barrier,” Gunn says. “A good plant on the barrier almost always results in a safe landing the other side.” He suggests wearing spikes (for the added grip) to practise and to do it first at walking pace on a lower barrier into a sandpit, before progressing the approach speed as your confidence builds.
“You will find that the foot rarely slips and that as you increase your speed the action becomes easier and smoother,” says Gunn. “Once you believe this, all you then need to do is to accelerate into the water jump (and all other hurdles) to ensure a smooth, efficient clearance.”
Don’t neglect endurance – Duval says steeplechasers neglect endurance at their peril. “A key session for a senior could be 3x1km over hurdles with 60sec recovery and then 30sec recovery,” he says. “On occasions you could try active recoveries during repetitions with jumping squats being thrown in deliberately to induce the kind of “super-fatigue” in the quadriceps muscles in an attempt to simulate the tiredness that you will face in the latter stages of a race.”

DIVING POOL IN BARNET – We are heads down for the next five months writing major capital grant applications. In addition, we are looking for volunteers to help apply for some of the smaller funding opportunities. If you can help please mail us at northlondonaquatics@outlook.com
Our recent Triathlon was supported by Theresa Villiers and Mike Freer MP’s. We have since met with Theresa who has also written us an open letter of support. We look forward to working alongside both MPs as our project continues to develop. Our committee consists of five, cross party councillors also who are a great addition to our hardworking and dedicated team.
We are growing strong community links through Community Barnet, Spacehive, Saracens, Kisharon and many more local causes.
Our new logo is almost ready to launch and we are very excited to share with you all. Please do continue to interact with us on our social media pages we love to interact with you all!
Next steps are to draw up the plans deep water, moveable floor plans. We are also working with the disability sport federation to ensure that the pool is as accessible as possible to all community groups.

ROBBIE LIGHTOWLER WINS 2 WORLD CHAMPION TITLES – Shaftesbury’s ROBBIE LIGHTOWLER and former St Albans Boys school pupil and Leeds University cross country captain, added 2 more Championship to his ever-growing CV, stormed to victory in the ITU Multisport World Championships held in Penticton, British Columbia, Canada during August.
In his first event – the Sprint Duathlon – 5km run followed by 20km bike and then a further 2.5km he recorded a time of 58mins 32 – placing him first (and World Champion) in his age category 20-24. This was also the 3rd fastest time of the day with over 600 international athletes competing. His training partner – ADAM THORPE – and the strategist behind the win finished just behind ROBBIE taking the 2nd podium position – the pair of them reaching speeds of over 75kmph on some parts of a highly technical and challenging cycle!
In his second event- The Aquathlon – 1000m swim followed by a 5km run he took the lead after 700m of the swim – and none of the 400 competitors were able to catch him on the run. He was crowned World Champion in his age category (and all age category’s) with a total time of 30min 31 secs – including a very impressive 12mins 36 for the open water swim in Okanagan Lake

MEMORABLE MOMENT FROM LONDON 2017

Even if you’re not a fan of mascots, it was hard not to warm to Hero the Hedgehog, who became a symbol of London 2017 with his antics and athleticism. Hero enjoyed many memorable moments but the one that sticks in the mind most is the steeplechase stumble (accidentally on purpose, surely) that led to the most painful landing in track and field history.

PHOTOGRAPHS FROM LONDON 2017 – Many thanks to KENNY GROOM who sent me these photographs taken at the Olympic Park, featuring our own kit carrying team.

Firstly, the scene is set, awaiting the next athletes to enter the stadium

Backstage left to right GEORGE GROOM, RUFUS KENT, BEN WINFIELD, PHOENIX LYON, EMMA TAYLOR, MIA GROOM, LOUISA PITSIALIS, JESSICA HURLEY and EMILIA ECONOMU on standby, ready to enter the stadium

BETH POTTER BACK TO TRIATHLON – The following article appeared in Athletics Weekly.
After finishing as top British athlete in the women’s 10,00m final at the IAAF World Championships last weekend. BETH will be slipping back into her wetsuit and on to her bike this weekend when she attempts to qualify for the 2018 Commonwealth Games triathlon at an event in Belgium.
BETH will compete in a European Cup triathlon near Antwerp this Sunday 13 August. The event is not an official trial for the Commonwealth Games but a podium place would put her in good stead for selection to compete for Scotland on the Gold Coast next April.
The 25-year-old clocked (32:15.88) in London to finish 21st overall and third European home despite being troubled by injury in the run-up to the event. “I’m happy with that as I was picking people off towards the end and have has a rocky patch lately with some injury problems” she said, explaining that she had a stress reaction in one of the metatarsals in her foot.
Despite training for triathlon full-time, in May she won the British trial for London, beating STEPH TWELL among others, but she has not worn spikes since, although she did wear some for the World Championship final.
“I had to adjust my running to even less than I was doing before Highgate”, she said. “I was advised to prioritise the quality sessions so haven’t got the mileage”.
BETH’S grandfather passed away recently as well. “So it’s been a hard couple of weeks”, she added.

NEWSLETTER HOLIDAY – I will be taking a break to Zakynthos in Greece on the 16 August, therefore the 17 August Newsletter will be published on the website on Monday 15 August, and normal service will resume on Thursday 31 August. As the final Eastern Young Athletes League is on Sunday 13 August, I will publish the results in the 31 August Newsletter.

2 NEW CLUB RECORD’S – Congratulations to CRISTINA POTTER U17 who at last week’s Eastern Young Athletes League, broke her own existing Javelin Club Record with a throw of (38.98m) adding 3.26m to her 4 June throw.
Congratulations to KYLE LANGFORD U23 (see report below) who broke his own Senior 800m Club Record with a time of (1:45.25) in the Final of the 800m at the World Championships. This took .20 of a second off his 9 July time which was also set in the Olympic Park. Moving him up to UK No.2 in 2017.

IAAF WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS – The Championships opened on Day 1 – Friday 4 August, with NICK PERCY in the Discus qualification, he achieved (56.93m) in Pool B finishing in 15th place, a little below par, but the experience will no doubt see him progress in the coming years.
NICK career to date has included competing in the World Youth (2011), World Junior (2012) European Junior (2013 Silver Medal) and Commonwealth Games (2014). Domestically he has won the England U15 (2011), England U20 (2012, 2013) and England U23 (2014, 2015, 2016) Championships. In 2014 NICK took up a degree at Nebraska University in America, culminating in winning the NCAA D1 title in 2015. His personal best is (63.38m) in July 2016 and season’s best is (62.91m) ranking him currently UK No.1.

Day 2 – Saturday 5 August started with a bang with DARRYL NEITA U23, running in Heat 6 of the 100m she ran a well-executed race winning in a time of (11.15 w0.6). Her interview was a breath of fresh air, so positive about her race, and firmly believes her future as a winner in a global championship, is a real possibility.
DARRYL’S career to date DARRYL’S career to date has been exceptional, when last year she won the Bronze Medal in the GB&NI 4x100m relay team at the Rio Olympics. This year DARRYL won Gold in the England U23 and Silver in the England Senior Championships 2016 and 2017, In 2015 finished 4th in the European Junior and Gold in the England U20 Championships.
DARRYL’S current personal best is (11.14 w-1.4) set earlier this month in the Olympic Stadium, breaking ABI OYEPITAN’S club record, also is currently ranked UK No.2, and No.7 on the UK all-time list.

The final event of the morning session was the 800m, KYLE LANGFORD U23 was drawn in Heat 2 of 6, in which they went through the bell in (51.80) the second fastest time of the 6 Heats. Along the back straight the leaders put in a surge, and suddenly a gap of 5 metres opened up between them and KYLE, this was maintained into final straight and KYLE could not close it, eventually finishing 5th (1:46.38).
In his interview KYLE was convinced it was the end of his Championships, especially after Heat 3 he was in 4th place of the 6 losers to qualify for the Semi-Finals. But after Heats 5 and 6 KYLE had finished in 5th place qualifying for Sundays Semi-Final.
It must have been and interesting chat between KYLE and his coach, our own GEORGE HARRISON MBE.
KYLE’S career to date includes 3rd World Youth 2013, 8th World Junior 2014, Gold in European Junior and ran in the World Championships in Beijing 2015. In the British Championships KYLE won the Gold in 2015 and 3rd in 2017.
KYLE’S current personal best is (1:45.45) set earlier this month in the Olympic Stadium, breaking PAUL HERBERT’S club record, also is currently ranked UK No.3.

The evening session featured BETH POTTER in the 10000m, which turned out to be an astonishing race with AYANA of Ethiopia lapping some 90% of the field. BETH stuck to her race plan, and finished in 21st place (32:15.88) which is her 3rd fastest time to date.
BETH’S career to date includes the 10000m in the Olympic Games 2016. In the British Championships Bronze in 2017 and Gold in 2016, 3rd in 2014. European Championships and Commonwealth Games 5000m and 10000m in 2014. European U23 and Silver in England U23 Championships in 2013.
BETH’S current personal best is (32:03.45) set in Stanford, U.S.A in 2016, breaking SARAH WALDRON’S club record, her seasons best is (32:04.63) and is currently ranked UK No.1.

Day 3 – Sunday 6 August the evening session featured the 100m semi-finals, with DARRYL NEITA U23 lining up in Heat 1 and was up against the winners to be MARIE-JOSEE TA LOU Silver medal and DAFNE SCHIPPERS to Bronze medal. DARRYL has a good start to eventually finish in 4^th place (11.16 w0.8) and just missing out of the final. She has come away with her head held high, and will be looking forward to 2018.

Later in the evening, the three 800m semi-finals took place, with KYLE LANGFORD U23 drawn in Heat 2. KYLE was looking refreshingly relaxed, and from the gun he settled in around 4th position, at the bell (50.85) the fastest of the 3 semi-finals, he was still 4th. Towards the end of the back straight LEWANDOWSKI went past KYLE, and stayed just behind when they entered the final straight. The LEWANDOWSKI kicked and KYLE stayed just behind, 50m to go KORIR of Kenya was treading water, KYLE was closing on LEWANDOWSKI and around 10m to go he went past him to finish in 2nd place (1:45.81) earning a well-deserved place in Tuesday’s final.

Day 4 – Monday 7 August started with the first round of the 200m with ZHARNEL HUGHES U23 drawn in Heat 6, and finished in 4th place (20.43 w0.6), ZHARNEL said his start needs to be improved, but qualified for Wednesday’s semi-finals as the fastest of the 3 fastest losers.
ZHARNEL’S career to date includes finishing 5th in the 2015 World Championships, also competed in the 2012 and 2014 World Youth Championships.
ZHARNEL’S current personal best is (20.02 w-0.1) set in the final of the 2015 World Championships, breaking TERRY WILLIAMS club record, and ranks him No.4 on the UK all-time list. His seasons best is (20.22 w1.2) and is currently ranked UK No.3.

Later in the evening NATHAN FOX started the qualifying pool A of the Triple Jump, and produced a jump of (16.49m w1.4) to finish in 10th place.
NATHAN is one of Great Britain’s most prestigious triple jump talents. After breaking the UK under 15 national record at 14, he became the first and only person of that age in British history to jump over 14meters (14.11m). He then represented Great Britain for the first time at the European Youth Olympics, placing 5th in the final. After being plagued with two serious injuries which hindered his natural progress, Nathan represented England at the 2014 Commonwealth Games where he placed 6th in the Final. His British Championship record is Gold in 2015, Silver 2014 and 2017, Bronze in 2013, also winning the British Indoor Championships in 2015, 2016 and 2017.
NATHAN’S current personal best is (16.81m w-1.4) set on the 14 May this year, ranking him UK No.1.

Day 5 – Tuesday 8 August will be a day that will live long in my memory as KYLE LANGFORD U23 produced another outstanding performance. This was the 800m final which was run almost identical as the semi-final, and went through the bell in (50.78), KYLE again entered the home straight a little of the pace but produced that devastating turn of speed, and with finish line fast approaching just failed to catch KIPYEGON BETT of Kenya by 4 hundredth’s of a second for 4th place. His time of (1:45.25) was a new personal best, KYLE believes he can win gold at the IAAF World Championships in Doha in two years’ time and is keen to show his versatility by running for Britain in the 4x400m and 1500m.

BRENDAN FOSTER AWARDED IAAF GOLDEN ORDER OF MERIT – British distance running great recognised for his major contributions to the advancement of athletics
Brendan Foster has been awarded the IAAF Golden Order of Merit at a ceremony in London.

The British distance running great received the world governing body’s highest award in recognition of his major contributions to the advancement of athletics.
On the track, FOSTER became an Olympic and four-time Commonwealth Games medallist, winning 10,000m bronze at the 1976 Olympic Games in Montreal and Commonwealth gold in Edmonton in 1978. He also claimed the European 5000m title in Rome in 1974 and 1500m bronze in Helsinki in 1971.
Since hanging up his spikes, he has become one of the most distinctive voices within the sport as a television commentator, a role from which he will retire following the upcoming IAAF World Championships, and has led a running revolution in Britain as creator of the Great North Run and founder of The Great Run Company.
Foster received his award from IAAF president SEBASTIAN COE at London’s Tate Modern as delegates from more than 200 of the IAAF’s 214 Member Federations were welcomed for the 51st IAAF Congress.
The evening also included the presentation of the IAAF’s Plaque of Merit to six distinguished members of the global athletics family who have made career-long contributions to the success and the development of the sport – FUMIHIRO YAMASAWA (JPN), ALECK SKHOSANA (RSA), WILFREDYS LEON (VEN), CLEMENS PROKOP (GER), REYNOLD O’NEAL (IVB) and FLETCHER MCEWEN (AUS).
The day after receiving his award, FOSTER – whose Great Run events in Newcastle and Manchester also include innovative street athletics meetings – formed part of a panel at the IAAF Athletics Connect event which discussed the need for innovation within the sport

CAR THEFTS/BREAK-INS AT ALLIANZ PARK – Allianz Park has been on the receiving end of a handful of vehicle break-ins over the last fortnight.
Please can I encourage you not to leave anything on show in your car that would make you an easy target. The nature of our sight typically does not allow criminals the time to go through cars, they are looking for easy targets and goods they can sell on easily.
Each instance has been reported to the police and we have asked them to increase their presence as part of their rounds. We will continue to monitor closely.

EASTERN YOUNG ATHLETES LEAGUE (UNDER 13/15/17 MEN/WOMEN) – The fifth fixture of five takes place on Sunday 13 August at Allianz Park, Greenlands Lane, Hendon (Satnav NW4 1RL).

Congratulations to EDWIN who won 3 Gold and 1 Silver Individual, plus 1 relay Bronze Medals. He also won the CARL WHITTAKER Trophy for the 5th year in a row, which is presented to the athlete with the fastest 100m time in the Championships.

ENGLISH SCHOOLS CHAMPIONSHIP PHOTOGRAPHS – Many thanks to GARY MITCHELL who provided these outstanding photographs which he took at the recent 87th English Schools Championships in Birmingham. It proved to be an excellent Championships with 28 athletes flying the Shaftesbury colours, this was a record number of SBH participants and a record number of medals.

The first photograph features HAMZA KADIR U20 showing a somewhat jubilant celebration, in winning the Senior Boys 1500m title (4:00.20) from TIARNEN CRORKEN (4:00.32) and BENJAMIN DAVIES (4:00.88). In the Heats HAMZA won in a time of (3:58.97) his personal best is (3:51.29) set early this year.

In the Intermediate Boys 1500m first photograph shows THOMAS PATRICK U17 (No.37) preparing to make his challenge around the final bend. The next shows YOSUF BIZIMANA winning (4:00.60), JACQUES MAURICE second (4:01.18) and THOMAS managed to recover his stumble to take the Bronze Medal (4:01.84). I contacted THOMAS who sent me these very candid and thought provoking words.
“I thought I had done everything right, I was really disappointed not to win the race. When thinking it through, I have to put it down to a lack of experience and a misjudgement on my part, In that in I did more than I had too in the heats to qualify and with the lactic acid kicking in I simply ran out of gas in the final a few metres before I reached the finishing line.
It was a painful experience but one I will hopefully learn from when I compete in the future races to come. Given the fact that I ran only one race throughout the whole of the winter, due to injury, upon reflection I am pleased with my progress on the track this summer and looking forward to many more races when I can compete and do well in the rest of my athletics career”.

The Intermediate Boys 400m Hurdles was an outstanding race with BEN LLOYD U17 seen taking the final hurdle just in front of KARL JOHNSON (53.36), BEN’S winning time was a (53.12), retaining his title from 2016, and put him at No.1 in the UK rankings. The following week-end BEN was selected by England to compete in the Schools International in Dublin, winning the 400m Hurdles in a time of (53.35).

EASTERN YOUNG ATHLETICS LEAGUE – The fourth match of the season took place at Allianz Park last Sunday.
Congratulations, after finishing second in our first three fixtures, we produced a well-deserved win by a margin of 60.5 points. The League was formed in 2014, in which we were a composite team with Barnet & District, we finished 8th in 2014 and 2015, qualifying for the Plate Final and we finished in 6th/5th place respectively. 2016 saw us finish in 5th place qualifying for the Top 6 Final, finishing in 6th place. This season the decision was made to compete as a standalone team Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers, which put additional pressure on our Team Managers and Athletes. The results have been exceptional, proving what an outstanding squad of Young Athletes we have, although we are aware there are certain events we are weak. Our Coaches are already endeavouring in filling theses events for next season.

It was a record day with 46 first places, and most of our recent new members performed exceptionally well.

Team Result – 1st SBH (764), 2nd Chelmsford (703.5), 3rd Thurrock (633), 4th Stevenage (587.5), 5th Peterborough (285), 6th Luton (186), 7th Hertford & Ware/Enfield & Haringey (178).

League Positions after 4 rounds – 1st Ipswich (28 league points – 3190.5 points), 2nd Havering (27 – 3307.5), 3rd Nene Valley (27 – 2873.5), 4th SBH (25 – 3009.5), 5th Bedford (25 – 2858.5), 6th Basildon (24 – 2810.5)

With the final fixture to come, which is at Allianz Park on 13 August, we are in an excellent position to finish in the top six in the League. Which would mean we would then qualify for the Final which is on Sunday 3 September, and provisionally will be at Bedford providing they finish in the top six.
The final fixture has only 6 teams competing, not 7, and they are Cambridge & Coleridge, Harlow, Herts Phoenix, Ipswich and St Albans.

UK YOUTH DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE SOUTHERN PREMIER 1 – The final fixture took place last Sunday at Allianz Park.
A good day at Allianz Park saw us secure a clear 2nd place, within 50 points of a dominant Blackheath squad and well clear of 3rd placed Windsor. Our final position of 2nd in the division, our best performance for some years, guarantees our place in the National Final. It has been a long season but we can now look forward to a break from team competition and selecting our best team for the National Final in Birmingham on Sunday 3 September where it will be tough to beat not only Blackheath, but also Birchfield from the Midlands and the composite teams from Edinburgh and Glasgow representing the North.
We had a number of new and existing members competing for the first time and we hope they all enjoyed the experience. With a number of athletes away on holiday, it was great to see volunteers coming forward to fill gaps. There were many good performances, which are detailed below in the results section. New member EVAN CAMPBELL had a good day in the U17 age group with victory in the Shot, 2nd place in the High Jump and 3rd place in the 100m Hurdles with all 3 performances being SBH bests for the season. ALEX PETTY also made an impressive debut taking victory in both the “B” string 100m Hurdles and 400m Hurdles. There was a hat-trick of wins from OLIVER GRAHAM in the Hammer, Discus and Shot. The highlight was the new club record of 43.94 set by the U17 men’s 4 x 100m team of ROBERT THOMAS, MICHAEL ADEBAKIN, JOSH KUMAR and MICAH AGYEPONG which moves them up to 5th in the UK Club rankings.
HANNAH FOSTER continues her excellent form after her victory and PB the previous weekend in the U17 300m at the Schools International in Dublin with victory in the U20 200m and a new PB. JAZZ SEARS also continued her excellent form after her victory and PB the previous weekend in the U17 Triple Jump at the Schools International in Dublin with a win in her speciality event. It was also good to see a win in the U17High jump and PB from KARA ONUIRI.

Well done to everyone who competed and of course to our 3 athletes, ELLIE BAKER, GEORGE EVANS and DOMINIC ASHWELL who were doing great things at the European Junior Championships in Grosseto, Italy.

COACHING UPDATE – Over the past few months Allianz Park has been creaking at the seams, with so many new Young Athletes joining the Club, the track on training evenings has sometimes resembled the M25 on a bad day. To meet this demand, our Coaches are introducing a revised coaching programme for all age groups by recruiting and training new volunteers. As part of this plan, the endurance group coaches, COLIN GODFREY, KARL BULMAN and DAVE WEIGHTMAN, all passed the ‘Athletics Coach’ course last weekend. A similar strategy is now being followed by the sprints and jumps groups.

UK WOMEN’S ATHLETICS LEAGUE – The final match of the season took place at Bromley last Sunday.
Unfortunately, some late withdrawals and injuries, plus 2 unfortunate disqualifications, left the team on the back foot. The result was that we finished the day behind both Swansea Harriers and a resurgent Blackheath & Bromley, resulted in the team’s relegation by the narrowest of margins.

There were wins from LILY BECKFORD U23 (400m), and double victories in the pole vault from JADE IVE and ALEXA EICHELMANN U20, in the discus from JADE LALLY and SHADINE DUQUEMIN and in the javelin from JO BLAIR and KELLY BRAMHALD.

The team and, it’s manager, NICOLE were of course disappointed but determined to rebuild with the influx of eligible athletes from the successful YDL squad.

Team Result – 1st Thames Valley Harriers (234 points), 2nd Birchfield Harriers (226), 3rd Blackheath & Bromley (176), 4th Windsor, Slough, Eton & Hounslow (171), 5th Edinburgh (167.5), 6th Swansea Harriers (163.5), 7th SBH (149), 8th Woodford Green with Essex Ladies (142).

WORLD UPGRADES FOR 4x400m WOMEN’S TEAM – Shaftesbury’s LEE MCCONNELL who was a member of the GB&NI 4x400m relay team in the 2009 World Championships in Athens, and 2011 in Daegu, South Korea are set to be promoted from fourth to third place, after ANASTASIYA KAPACHINSKAYA – part of the Russian relay team – had all her results annulled from 2008 due to doping.

LEE started off her athletics career with Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers in 1997 as an Under 19 High Jumper, achieving her personal best in 2000 with a height of (1.88m) which is still the current SBH club record. The following year she switched to the 400m where she made rapid progression. In 2002, she won individual medals at the Commonwealth Games 400m Silver in Manchester and European Championships 400m Bronze in Munich, and was fourth in the World Cup in Madrid, setting a lifetime best of 50.82 also the current SBH club record. The following season she enhanced her reputation as being a championship performer by reaching the final at the World Championships in Paris, placing seventh.
After reaching the semi-finals at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, she decided to switch to the 400m hurdles but despite having the potential to be a world-class exponent at that discipline, the switch did not fully materialise but LEE did win a 2006 Commonwealth bronze medal in Melbourne, setting a lifetime best of 55.25.
LEE remained an invaluable member of the British 4x400m, greatly contributing to successive bronze medal winning performances at the 2005 World Championships in Helsinki and 2007 in Osaka, but she was not fit for the 2008 Olympic Games 4x400m relay in Beijing, having to withdraw through injury. 2009 started off well for her, but injury curtailed her performances and although a member of the 4x400m relay squad at the World Championships in Athens, it was not until her last race of the season in the Shanghai Grand Prix that she managed to run somewhere near her potential with a 400m season’s best of (51.45).
2010 started brightly with a convincing win in the European Championships Trials at Birmingham (51.55), but a below-par run in the championships in Barcelona where she finished in fourth place in her heat, then went on to win a 4x400m bronze medal. At the end of the year LEE ran the 200m/400m at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi, finishing 5th & 4th respectively.
The following 2 years she reached the semi-final of the 2011World Championships in Daegu, South Korea and the 2012 London Olympics Games.
LEE final race of her career was winning the Scottish National 200m Senior title in February 2013.

WORLD PARA ATHLETICS CHAMPIONSHIPS – Head coach PAULA DUNN reflects on the success of some of this year’s GB World Para Athletics Championships team-members and looks ahead to the London event
Five years after watching many rising British stars shine at the London 2012 Paralympic Games, PAULA is proud to see HANNAH COCKCROFT, ALED DAVIES and JONNIE PEACOCK among those leading the GB team for next month’s World Para Athletics Championships back in the UK capital.
A 51-strong squad has been named for the event in London, to be held from July 14-23, and she is pleased with the mix of both youth and experience.
“I’m really happy with the team selection,” says the former sprinter, who became GB para athletics head coach in November 2012 and was a key member of PETER ERIKSSON’S coaching staff at the London Paralympics. “When I look at athletes like JONNIE, ALED and HANNAH, they were in the first group of athletes I looked after when I started.
“To have seen them in 2012 winning medals and to go right through to Rio and then come back to the London Stadium once again is absolutely brilliant. “They are now our senior athletes and they are really good role models.”
A total of 21 Rio Paralympic medallists, including 10 champions, will be joined at the London Stadium by a quartet of debutants – T13 sprinter and jumper ZAK SKINNER, T20 athlete MARTINA BARBER, T38 runner JACK GLADMAN and T42 long jumper LUKE SINNOTT – who will pull on the senior GB vest for the first time.
Among those 10 Rio gold medallists are COCKCROFT, DAVIES, PEACOCK and RICHARD WHITEHEAD, all of whom also topped the podium at the London Paralympics five years ago and will be hoping for similar success at the same venue in the coming weeks.
Since stepping into her current role, on a world level DUNN’S GB teams have won no fewer than 29 medals, including 11 gold, at the 2013 Championships in Lyon, and 31 medals, including 13 gold, in Doha in 2015. This time the target is 26 to 30 medals.
“Success breeds success and I’m a great believer in that,” DUNN explains. “So people coming into the team know what the expectation is. “I want everybody to compete as well as they can and enjoy the experience. If you do those two things, success generally comes.”

3 NEW CLUB RECORD – Congratulations to MIA GROOM, CRISTINA POTTER and TARIQ WILD who achieved a club record over the week-end.
MIA competed at last Saturday’s BMC meeting in the 1500m Steeplechase running (5:18.11) taking 8.19 seconds off her 28 May time, ranking her UK No.5 in 2017. MIA’S time eclipses SOPHIA PARVIZI-WAYNE’S Under 17 Women’s time of (5:21.6) set in Derby on 9 September 2012. Also, is a Hertfordshire record (to be confirmed) which was set by our own LUCY YATES (5:25.0) set in 2006.
CRISTINA broke the Under 17 Women’s 500g Javelin record with a throw of (35.72m) at last Sunday’s EYAL fixture in Luton. CRISTINA’S distance eclipses KLAUDIA DEBRECZENI throw of (33.70m) set at Lee Valley on 16 May 2015.
TARIQ also at the EYAL fixture broke the Under 15 Boys 300m record in a time of (37.7) eclipsing NAJIBE ARBI’S (37.9) set at Allianz Park on 11 June 2016.

BRITISH ATHLETICS LEAGUE – The second match of the season took place at Lee Valley last Saturday. A much better day at the office last Saturday at Lee Valley saw SBH bounce back from their disappointing 5th = in Round One of the BAL in Sheffield to secure a clear 2nd place in Round Two. After 2 rounds the men’s team are now in the top 4.

CONFIDENCE LAWSON had an up and down day, winning the 100m “A” in a quality field and then found himself DQ for running out of his lane in the 200m “A” after finishing strongly in 3rd place. Our young 400m pairing of SAM HAZELL and MATTHEW PAGAN both ran really well with a PB for SAM and an SB for MATTHEW. The 1500m was a great race with the first 6 home all running under 3.52. KYLE LANGFORD was pipped on the line but was rewarded with an impressive new PB whilst JACK CRABTREE ran a really mature race to run a SB for victory in the “B”. It was good to see RICHARD GOODMAN and KOJO KYEREME flying the flag with top 3 finishes in the 5000m. An inspired 4 x 100m team was thrown together at the last minute and greatly exceeded expectations with their 3rd place. Overall, special mention on the track for JAMES DAVIS (U20) who gap filled at the last minute in the 400m Hurdles and the 3000m Steeplechase when the original selections dropped out on the Friday with illness and injury.

However, it was the field squad that was awesome. The Triple Jump provided a unique result with SBH taking the top 3 spots, not only did NONSO OKOLO win the “A” and DANIEL LEWIS win the “B” but our guest athlete JAMES MCLACHLAN performed better than everyone else from the other clubs. We also had the current British number one and World Championship qualifier NATHAN FOX watching from the side-lines. The High Jump was equally exciting with DAVID SMITH taking the “A”, ALLAN SMITH taking the “B” with our guest jumper MONTEZ BLAIR equalling ALLAN’s performance. Our Discus throwers were equally dominant with both ZANE DUQUEMIN and ANGUS MCINROY winning the “A” and “B” respectively by nearly 6m. STEVE TURNOCK was in a class of his own winning the javelin competition by over 5m and DANIEL BAINBRIDGE (U20) in his BAL debut securing 3rd place in the “B”. In the Shot, MICHALIS STAMATOGIANNIS survived a minor back injury in warm-up but still managed 2nd place. The team faced frustration in the Hammer with our top 6 throwers being unavailable. Hopefully our 2 top men, CHRIS BENNETT and DEMPSEY MCGUIGAN should turn a double 8th this time into a double 1st at the nest match.

The 3rd round of the BAL on Saturday 15 July at Bedford will be a unique experience with the meeting hosting all 5 divisions at an all-day extravaganza of club athletics. In addition, the individual winners of each event will be selected to represent the BAL at the Manchester International on Wednesday 16 August.
