UK YOUTH DEVELOPMENT LEAGUE SOUTHERN PREMIER 1 – Took place last Sunday in Bromley. We had an excellent day with a number of athletes stepping in at the last minute to score a point and at the end of the day, that was the difference which secured SBH 2nd place ahead of Windsor by just 3.5 points, out of a total of 710.

There were many outstanding performances, far too many to mention individually however, in my view, I would highlight, HANNAH FOSTER with her double PB victories in the U17 300m Hurdles (44.28) and 200m (24.98). SOPHIE MADDOCK who won the U17 800m running from the front during a heavy thunderstorm in a PB of 2.15.87, an improvement of nearly 5 seconds and a 55 place move up the national rankings. The women’s U17 4 x 100m relay team of LATIFAH HARRIS-OSMAN, SOPHIA OBI, KIERRA GRANT, CHINWE IWUNZE who not only won the race but were just 0.1 outside the club record with 49.94.

The return from injury of MATTHEW PAGAN saw him win the 400m in 48.30. The amazing points accumulation by GEORGE EVANS in the HT, SP, JT and DT and by BILLY PRAIM-SINGH in the HT, SP and JT. DAVID STONE with a 27 second improvement in his 3000m time to 9.05.28 and a 68 place move up the rankings. Last but not least the fantastic performances in the men’s double victories in the U17 4 x 100m and 4 x 400m relays. The sprint squad of MICAH AGYEPONG, MICHAEL ADEBAKIN, JOSH KUMAR, ROBERT THOMAS ran 44.46 just 5/100th outside the club record and improved to number 4 in this year’s rankings. The 4 x 400m squad of NAJIBE ARBE (53.2), JOSHUA KUMAR (52.0), MITTIO MOHAMMADIAN (53.1), ANTHONY KHORASSANJIAN (52.8) were even more impressive, with the fastest time of the year in the UK of 3.31.04.
The third round of the YDL is on Sunday 25 June in Reading with the final round at Allianz Park on Sunday 23 July.

TIME IS SQUEEZED FOR JUMPS ATTEMPTS – The IAAF is halving the amount of time that High Jumpers and Pole Vaulters have to take their attempt from 60 to 30 seconds. The rule change was agreed at the IAAF recent council meeting in London and will be introduced from 1 November.
Not surprisingly athletes have reacted with mild outrage, though SANDI MORRIS, the Olympic pole vault silver medallist from the United States, said “This is a terrible decision. Not only dangerous, but bad for track and field”.
She added; More time equals less sport for fans to watch… it’s unsafe and unnecessary”.
The amount of time that vaulters and high jumpers have to take their attempt when there are fewer than three competitors left in the contest remains the same.

VACANCIES AT LEE VALLEY ATHLETICS CENTRE – The Centre is looking for additional casual staff to take them through the summer and into next winter. The job involves setting up and down for events, coaching on kid’s sessions and cleaning, whilst in time those with the right abilities will get trained up to work on Reception as well. Rate of pay is £10.06 per hour.
They are looking for people with a passion for Athletics, a love of hard work and a keen interest in coaching children (preferably but not necessarily holding a minimum of an Athletics Assistant Coach award). Anyone interested should contact MICK to express their interest by e mailing me on mbond@vibrantpartnerships.co.uk

LONDON WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP 10,000m TRIALS – Took place last Saturday at Parliament Hill, which included many Shaftesbury runners. Congratulations to BETH POTTER who ran away from the field to win the Women’s trial race in a time of (32:04.63) which was just under a second off last year’s personal best time, ranking her as UK No.1 in 2017, and BETH will now look forward the 10,000m heats in London on Saturday 5 August. In the B Race VICTORIA WALKER finished 26th in a personal best (38:51.71).

BETH commented afterwards: “Last year, I felt like I was getting chased down but tonight I was getting stronger and stronger. I wasn’t surprised, I’m running well – my sessions were going great but I hadn’t raced (on the track) since Rio so I didn’t know.
“I’m just going to carry on with what I’m doing (the triathlon training) – it’s working, I’m improving in the tri and in the running, so there’s no point in changing anything at the moment. I run about 30-miles a week less now, I’m only in the mid-50’s but I’m getting my aerobic work from the biking and the pool as well, so my legs are fresh – win-win!
“I came here with no pressure and it was good to have a battle with STEPH – it’s nice to come away with number one this time after finishing twice before. I was smiling and grinning, looking at my coach and thinking ‘this is good!’.”

In the Men’s A race RICHARD HORTON finished 19th in a personal best (29:38.55) his only previous race was back in 2012 (31:10.06), next was PHILLIP CROUT U23 in his first 10,000m race also breaking the 30-minute barrier finishing 25th (29:55.01) and is ranked UK No.4 U23 in 2017, finally JAKE SHELLEY finished 34th in a season’s best (31:18.48).

SEB COE’S DOUBLE DOSE OF MUD – The following was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

The IAAF president reflects on the racing he used to do as a young athlete, which sometimes included two cross country competitions in one day
SEB says he sometimes did two cross country races in the same day as a teenager. He raced once for his school and then for his club and he believes it gave him a huge physical advantage over rivals although, he adds, “it would not be allowed today”.
The two-time Olympic gold medallist does not particularly endorse the idea, but it did not seem to do him any harm and he remembers: “I used to run 30-40 cross country races a year – very often one on Wednesday and another at the weekend.
“Sometimes I did one on Saturday morning for the school and then Saturday afternoon for the club and you’d never been allowed to do that nowadays.
“I had a massive physical advantage over other athletes who didn’t do cross country.”
The IAAF president adds: “It’s a mental thing too. “If you run 3-5 miles across that kind of terrain in Yorkshire on the side of escarpments in places like Halifax and Batley and Huddersfield and the edges of Sheffield it gave you a massive physical advantage over kids who were not doing cross country.
“If you run cross country as a 16-17-year-old, there’s nothing much that will spook you physically on the track.”
He continues: “I believe with the problems we’ve had in European distance running that it’s not remotely coincidental that we’ve lost a generation of coaches who do not believe cross country is important.

TWO DAYS FOR BRITISH TRIALS – The traditional Friday night at the National championships will not happen this year after a decision to turn the British Athletics Team Trials into a two-day event on Saturday & Sunday 1-2 July.
The old AAA Championships once saw a world 10,000m record by DAVID BEDFORD on the Friday evening at Crystal Palace, but nowadays the 25-lap event has been moved to Parliament Hill in May and the usual wave of heats for events like 100m, 400m and 800m will be incorporated into the two-day programme.

NEW GB TEAM KIT UNVEILED – The Great Britain kit for the “Summer of World Athletics” has been unveiled by British Athletics.

To be worn for the first time by athletes competing at the World Para Athletics Championships and IAAF World Championships in July and August respectively, the new Nike Vapor kits “are designed to enhance overall human potential for speed and at the same time address the specificities of each athlete and event”.
The vests and t-shirts feature the words ‘Great Britain’ in red writing and are mostly white with blue design on the body and shoulders.
The British Athletics logo also appears on the tops, while the blue shorts and leggings feature the British flag.

ALLIANZ PARK TO HOST BEER MILE AGAIN – British miler is training to take down Canadian COREY BELLEMORE’S world record

One of the biggest clashes of the summer is set to take place on August 12 in London. Not at the IAAF World Championships, though, but on the other side of the British capital at ALLIANZ PARK – the venue of the 2017 Beer Mile World Classic.
The crazy combination of athletics and alcohol produces an entertaining cocktail of a competition. It has caught the imagination of the running world in recent years and some of the world’s finest gastric gladiators will be at ALLIANZ PARK on the final weekend of the IAAF World Championships to run, drink and occasionally vomit as they compete for bragging rights in one of the most bizarre – and increasingly popular – off-shoots of track and field.
Yet all eyes will be on two men – COREY BELLEMORE of Canada and DALE CLUTTERBUCK of Britain.
Last year Bellemore coasted to victory in a world record 4:34.35 with Clutterbuck runner-up in a European record of 4:47.39. But Clutterbuck went into the race unprepared at the end of a poor track season. He only found out he was doing the 2016 race a couple of days earlier and he even knocked back a few drinks before the race ‘to warm up’.
This year, however, he is training for the event with fellow international runner BEN COLDRAY. The pair are doing a weekly interval session where their recovery period includes downing a bottle of beer and they have been recording their progress on YouTube.
“People might think this is nuts and I’ve gone mad, but there’s a bigger picture,” says CLUTTERBUCK. “I’d love to qualify for the Commonwealth Games next year and if this helps me get a bit of sponsorship so I can train harder, then it will have been worth it.”
BELLEMORE was signed by Adidas after his beer mile triumph 12 months ago while the previous world record-holder, LEWIS KENT of Canada, earned a similar deal with Brooks.
“Ultimately it’s just a few beers and a bit of fun with a friend, BEN, once a week,” CLUTTERBUCK continues. “It won’t do me any harm and I still plan to be competitive at events like the British Champs this summer.”
While Canada and the United States has dominated the beer mile record books recently, Britain has a good tradition. CHRIS PARR of Gateshead Harriers, for example, was considered almost invincible in the ‘Chunder Mile’ – a more difficult variation of beer miling where proper pints are consumed.
CLUTTERBUCK believes a beer mile in four-and-a-half minutes is roughly equivalent to a sub-four-minute mile in ‘normal athletics’ and he adds: “The sport needs to be livened up. I go to some meetings and they’re pretty boring. The gun goes, you race and that’s it, you go home.

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TRIALS – Eight Olympians are set to compete at the event at Parliament Hill, which incorporates the GB IAAF World Championships trials.

BETH POTTER (SBH), JO PAVEY and ANDY VERNON are among the eight Olympians to have been announced for the Highgate Harriers Night of the 10,000m PBs on Saturday May 20.
The event, which is free to spectate and combines top-quality racing with a unique crowd experience, will again incorporate the British 10,000m Championships, with the Parliament Hill track also playing host to those looking to make the GB team for the IAAF World Championships in London this summer.
Five-time Olympian PAVEY features along with reigning British champion JESSICA MARTIN, SONIA SAMUELS and Portugal’s JESSICA AUGUSTO are in the women’s entry list. In the men’s entries, Rio 2016 Olympian VERNON is joined by ROSS MILLINGTON, who won the GB Olympic trial race at Parliament Hill last year, plus Irish marathoner PAUL POLLOCK.
Others in action are set to be KATE AVERY, the double European cross-country runner-up who was fourth in the 2014 Commonwealth Games and has 31:45.44 PB. She ran 32:11.84 last year but has only raced once since last June. KATRINA WOOTTON has been the leading Briton in her last two 10km races at Brighton and Birmingham and can boast a 31:46 road PB, while ELINOR KIRK, who was ninth in the 2014 Commonwealth Games, has one of the fastest PBs in the field with 32:17.05.
Louise Small, who was first Brit at the World Cross in 39th place, has a 33:50.63 PB and ran 34:01.90 last year, while JENNIFER NESBITT ran 33:45.19 last year and a 74:26 clocking in the Reading Half Marathon suggests she is in good form.
DEWI GRIFFITTHS, who was fifth in the 2016 Europeans, ran a time of 28:16.07 last week, while Luke Caldwell, who has a 28:29.61 PB, was 14th in the 2014 Commonwealth Games. BEN CONNOR ran 29:21.47 for fifth last year but the National cross country champion has greatly improved this winter.
The full current men’s entry list can be found here, while the women’s list is here.
The top two eligible athletes in each World Championships trial race will automatically be selected for the GB team for the event in London this summer, provided they also achieve the qualifying standard of 27:45 for men or 32:15 for women by midnight on July 9.
The volunteer-powered “annual 10,000m festival” at Parliament Hill invites spectators to embrace “#Lane3BeerNCheer”, with refreshments available on the track and fans able to watch the action up close from lane three.
This year’s event will also feature an endurance seminar in among the series of 10,000m races, with IAAF president SEB COE and world marathon record-holder PAULA RADCLIFFE among the speakers, and snooker legend RONNIE O’SULLIVAN, who is a keen runner, acting as host.
The event gets under way with an inter-schools relay at 13:30 before race one at 15:15 through to the men’s GB trial race at 20:15 and the women’s at 21:00. The endurance seminar is scheduled for 18:30.

BE AWARE WHEN BUYING HAYFEVER REMEDIES AND OTHER MEDICATION – The summer sees a number of athletes being affected by hayfever. As with all medication please remember off-the-shelf and over-the-counter remedies may contain PROHIBITED substances. Make sure you and any athletes you coach know how to check before they buy.
To find out more please see www.britishathletics.org.uk/cleanathletics/check-your-medication.

100%ME CLEAN SPORT APP – Another very useful way to ensure you and athletes you support 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.britishathletics.org.uk/cleanathletics/clean-sport-app/

BRITISH ATHLETICS LEAGUE – The first match of the season took place in Sheffield last Saturday.
A cold and blustery day greeted all 8 teams for Round One of the BAL Premiership in Sheffield. SBH were in good spirits even though the team had been weakened by injury, illness, warm weather training and conflicting meetings. The match started well with top class performances in the 400m Hurdles from SEB RODGER and a welcome return from injury by LLOYD HANLEY-BYRON.
The Hammer was always going to be tough with our top 4 throwers either in the US or unavailable, so it was left to JAMES HAMBLIN, making his Premiership debut to fly the flag with a throw just a metre short of his PB. SBH once more dominated the Discus with double wins for ZANE DUQUEMIN and ANGUS MCINROY. While the Javelin saw STEVE TURNOCK maintain his good recent form.
JAMES MCLACHLAN showed a welcome return to form with convincing wins in both the long and triple jumps, ably supported by NONSO OKOLO in the TJ. Another new member, MONTEZ BLAIR, the BUCS champion, was making his debut in the HJ in the trickiest of conditions. This was another event where 4 of our top jumpers were not available, but DAN BRAMBLE stepped in at the last moment and cleared a PB of 1.90m and promised to have a HJ training session as he wants to clear 2m. The PV was equally difficult, where we welcomed new U20 member ROSS HADJIPANAYI who was a late addition to the team.
Endurance was badly hit but nevertheless there were a number of highlights. ANTHONY WHITEMAN running a SB in the 800m which was a British and World V45 age group record. After the race, an excited Anthony was confident that he would get the time down to sub 1.50 in better conditions. MO MOHAMED was another late addition to the team and proved he was back from injury with a PB after 4 years of disappointment. Another welcome return was from GLEN WATTS after the disruptions of becoming a new father with the minimum of training still managed to complete both the 3k chase and the 3k flat where JACK CRABTREE had a fine race for 2nd place.
Unfortunately, it was now that bad luck struck the team. ANDREW LAWLER was running well in the 3k chase when he slipped coming out of the water jump and not only appeared to have broken his ankle but then had his hand spiked by the following runner when he fell. Thanks to the prompt attention of club physio, KYLE ANDREW and his wife LAUREN, who took ANDREW to the A&E Department at the Northern General Hospital, he was eventually diagnosed with badly torn ligaments and had a number of stitches in his hand wound. MO MOHAMED was the next casualty, twisting his ankle whilst warming up for the 1500m and missing the race. Finally, GERALD MATTHEW, after winning the “A” string 200m was running 3rd leg in the 4 x 100m with the team well ahead when he pulled up with a hamstring injury but still managed to hobble the last 10m to hand the baton on to DAN BRAMBLE who brought the team home in 8th place. The team dropped from 3rd to 5th equal but confident that so much bad luck could not strike again and that there will be a much better performance in Round 2 on Saturday 3 June at Lee Valley.

BETHAN REES her philosophy on training

EASTERN YOUNG ATHLETICS LEAGUE – The first match of the season took place in Watford last Sunday.

What an astonishing start to the season with our Young Athletes finishing only 15 points behind last year’s Champions. I believe it would be unfair to single out any Individual, as the turnout and performance was exceptional, which included so many of this Year’s new members.

The next fixture is on 4 June at Luton, where we are up against Basildon, Biggleswade, Havering, Luton, Norwich and Peterborough.

Team Result – 1st Bedford & County (781 points), 2nd SBH (766), 3rd Woodford Green with Essex Ladies (626.5), 4th Watford (622), 5th Braintree (311), 6th Hertford & Ware/Enfield & Haringey (170.5), 7th Biggleswade (167).

WORLD RECORD FOR 2018 VIRGIN MONEY LONDON MARATHON – A record total number of 386,050 applicants from the UK and overseas registered for a ballot place in the 2018 Virgin Money London Marathon when the application system closed on Friday 5 May. This is the highest number of applicants for any marathon in the world.
327,516 of those applicants were from the UK. This is 73,586 up from the previous UK applicant record of 253,930 for the 2017 event – an increase of nearly 29%. 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).
“These record-breaking numbers reflect the huge success of the 37th London Marathon on 23 April,” said Hugh Brasher, Event Director for London Marathon Events. “One of our goals is to inspire people to take up sport and it’s fantastic that more than 191,000 people from the UK have been inspired to apply to run a marathon for the first time in 2018.

ATTEMPT AT SUB-2 HOUR MARATHON – At 05:45 local time (04:45 BST) last Saturday, LEILISA DESISA, ZERSENAY TADESE and ELIUD KIPCHOGE stepped on to a famous motor racing track in Italy and attempt to do something that many believe could forever be beyond the scope of human capability.

Their goal has nothing to do with fast cars, however – this will all be about fast feet and the small matter of attempting to run a marathon in under two hours.
It’s undeniable that the odds are currently stacked against success when it comes to this marathon ambition. The hard facts behind what is required to cover 26.2 miles in less than 120 minutes take a while to comprehend.
The current marathon world record stands at 2 hours, 2 minutes and 57 seconds – set by Kenya’s DENNIS KIMETTO at the Berlin Marathon in 2014, his average pace for that run was 4:41 per mile. To run 1:59:59 involves an average pace of approximately 4:35. That would mean an improvement of roughly 2.5 per cent.
Yet Nike were determined to find out if it can be done or, at the very least, how close it is possible to get to the landmark time. They are not the only company to have such an ambition – Adidas have their own designs on being first past this post while there is also the sub2hr project headed by Professor YANNIS PITSILADIS of the University of Brighton and involving KENENISA BEKELE – but the American sportwear giants will be the first to officially have a go. They have used the considerable resources at their disposal to examine every single aspect of what it might take to get the sub-two-hour job done. “The hard facts behind what is required to cover 26.2 miles in less than 120 minutes take a while to comprehend”
There was the recruitment of the athletes they thought best equipped to handle the task at hand. Kenya’s KIPCHOGE, who has a PB of 2:03:05, is also the Olympic champion and arguably the finest marathon runner there has ever been. Ethiopian DESISA is a two-time Boston Marathon winner while Eritrean TADESE is the current world half-marathon record-holder with a time of 58:23.
Their training, nutrition and recovery patterns have been pored over forensically with the aim of squeezing every drop of a performance out of them. The involvement of pacemakers, drafting and energy conservation will play a hugely significant part, too. And then there are the shoes. Many would argue this is the whole reason why Nike got involved in the first place – as a publicity stunt designed to shift more products.
The marathon course at Monza, not far from Milan, is very much out of the ordinary, too. The runners will cover just over 17.5 laps of a 2.4km circuit which has also been designed to maximise speed – the appliance of science is everywhere. And it’s that contrived nature of such an experiment which concerns the more sceptical observers.
“It’s got positive elements and negative elements,” says Athletics Weekly columnist Tim Hutchings, former Olympian and a man immersed in world distance running through his job as an athletics commentator. “I think all top athletes train hard to achieve a permanence in competition and win titles, win medals and break records. “Competition is the unifying element I think of all sport, particularly in athletics and distance racing. When that unifying, element gets compromised by commercial ambition or a third party’s infatuation with an alternative goal, like the sub-2, then it’s quite regrettable.”
Hutchings adds: “The whole thing in Monza is very contrived. This is not a legitimate record attempt for a number of reasons – it’s just a scientific experiment. It’s too plastic, it’s not real.” There is no doubt that going under two hours splits opinion massively. For every sceptic, there is someone absolutely fascinated by this particular pursuit and wondering just where it might lead.

SUB-2 HOUR MARATHON OUTCOME – Showing remarkable strength both in body and mind, ELIUD KIPCHOGE proved on Saturday morning that a sub-two-hour marathon might be a lot closer than some may have originally thought.

Clocking 2:00:25 for 26.2 miles in a controversial ‘Breaking2’ event organised by sportswear giant Nike in an attempt to breach the barrier, the Olympic champion further reinforced his position as arguably the finest marathon runner of all time.
While Kipchoge’s time, set on a Formula One track in Monza in Italy, won’t count as an official world record, it does go some way to further proving what the human body is capable of.

Starting out toward the back of an arrow formation of pacers, KIPCHOGE was joined by world half-marathon record-holder TADESE and two-time Boston Marathon winner DESISA.
Their first 5km split was timed at 14:14 as they aimed for 14:10, but the group picked up the pace soon afterwards and there was a projected finish time of 1:59:56 at that point.
They went through 10km in 28:21, 15km in 42:34 and 20km in 56:49, before the halfway point was reached in 59:57. Not long after this, the attempt relied on KIPCHOGE alone, with DESISA having dropped off the pace just after 15km and TADESE losing touch after 21km.
KIPCHOGE and the pacers remained on track for a sub-two-hour time through 25km in 71:03, and with 85:20 on the clock at 30km the projected finish time was exactly 2:00:00. The 35km mark was passed in 1:39:37 and 40km in 1:54:04.
KIPCHOGE averaged around 4:36 per mile, with around 4:34.5 needed to dip under two hours.
Both TADESE and DESISA battled on to finish, clocking 2:06:51 and 2:14:10 respectively.

UK ATHLETICS WELCOME INPUT FROM CLUB ATHLETES ON THE SPORT’S RULES – The following article was published on the Athletic Weekly website recently.

Did you know that a track and field meeting cannot last longer than eight hours? Or that you’re allowed to wear a T-shirt in competition but only if it matches your club colours? Or that headphones are banned in races unless they conduct sound through bones and do not sit in the ears?
These are some of the many weird and wonderful regulations in the current UKA Rule Book and the national governing body is now encouraging ideas and submissions ahead of the 2018 edition being published in February next year.
The athletics fraternity has until July 31 to submit possible changes to the rules and the main requirement is that you need the support of your club before emailing your suggestion to rules@uka.org.uk
“We’d really encourage people to contribute and discuss it with their clubmates,” says Nigel Holl, UKA’s director of strategy and partnerships.
The governing body received around 60 submissions prior to the publication of the current UKA 2016 Rule Book but it involved UKA’s competition rules merging with the IAAF’s rules and saw debate surrounding age group divisions.
“We have home countries, for example, which gives us extra eligibility issues,” says Holl, explaining why the UK needs some rules of its own in addition to the IAAF’s rules.
When asked what likely ‘hot potatoes’ there might be this time, Holl said: “There are no flashing lights to be honest, probably because the process was so effective in 2016.”
But he adds that the issues of composite clubs and the size of logos on athletes’ kit are more of an issue now than in the past.

HOW MUCH DOES MILEAGE MATTER – The following was published on Athletics Weekly website recently, explaining how distance runners can become fixated on weekly mileage, often to their detriment, says Matt Long.

Racking up the miles is part and parcel of developing the aerobic energy system for any endurance athlete. But there are two opposite schools of thought about how best it should be done.
One camp insists that training should involve a high volume of work designed to overload the system, the other camp that ‘less is more’ –the quality of what you do is far more important than the quantity.
So just how much does mileage matter? Are you doing more or less than is necessary? There is no straightforward answer and much depends on your genetics and individual strengths and weaknesses. But to help pick your way through the maze of training advice, we’ve consulted four leading experts for the ultimate advice. They are: Andy Butchart: impressed greatly with his sixth place in the Rio Olympic 5000m, Pippa Woolven with Beth Potter to her left (pictured): has been a regular GB international of late over the country and Charlie Spedding: famously bagged a London marathon victory and Olympic bronze in 1984.
Their collective wisdom leaves us with eight golden rules to follow.
Rule 1 – Avoid junk mileage – “Mileage does matter but only appropriate mileage,” says Duval. “Being efficient and capable of sustaining a certain pace is more important”.
Woolven agrees: “I try not to get too hung up on it. I don’t believe in doing ‘junk miles’”.
Rule 2 – Periodise your training – This is something many athletes get wrong. Yet periodising your training into distinct blocks and tapering before competition will help with your long-term development.
“On average I do more miles in the winter,” Butchart says. “We still do high mileage in summer but it’s less frequent as we cut it down for the track races.”
Woolven agrees that mileage is important, especially in the winter months. “If I can build up a solid endurance base with some consistent training before Christmas then I find it usually sets me up well,” she says.
Rule 3 – Mileage to facilitate recovery – Not all miles must be run at significant pace. What’s key, says Duval, is to remember that your miles can have a different focus.
“Slower mileage is needed to aid recovery and speed up the body’s adaptation to intense workouts,” he says. Steady aerobic work sets you up for higher intensity training achieved through speed and speed endurance work which is more dependent on the lactate and ATP-CP energy systems.
Rule 4 – Build a mileage component into speed and strength endurance sessions – This is where you can get clever with your miles.
“Mileage can be incorporated into specific workouts to enable athletes to keep higher mileage up if they are time poor and can only train once a day,” Duval says.
For example, a 10min warm-up, then 15-20min threshold run, then straight into an interval session either on roads or the track, followed by a 15-20min threshold and 10min cool down”.
Spedding, author of the cult endurance autobiography From Last to First, says that even when training for the marathon, he added 5x1600m with 400m in 90sec as the recovery.
Woolven adds that the kind of aerobic development facilitated by high mileage can be achieved within sessions that build other components of fitness, such as strength endurance. “I think hill reps can be really useful to build strength and, when combined with some blocks of tempo, make a good session,” she says.
Rule 5 – Don’t become a slave to mileage – So many athletes fall into this trap, says Spedding. Yet an obsession with clocking miles can result in injury.
“I used to run between 70-80 miles per week when I was running 5km and 10km on the track,” Spedding says. “This included a 20-mile run almost every week. I suffered from a lot of Achilles tendon problems during my track career and didn’t want to push the mileage too high in case it increased my injuries.”
An obsession with mileage can lead to psychological as well as physiological staleness, Woolven warns. “Cross country in the UK can be a long season though so if I obsessed over mileage too much then I think I’d start to suffer,” she says.
Mileage should be a means to an end. “When I trained for the marathon, I tried to do a six-week spell of between 100-110 miles per week, which ended three weeks before the race,” Spedding says. “I say tried because I rarely managed to achieve it.”
Rule 6 – Know when to back off – “If I felt unwell or sore or simply too tired I would back off the miles,” says Spedding. “I always felt it was better to miss a few miles than to risk a serious problem. I always regarded certain sessions as much more important than that extra five-mile run that gets me to the mileage target.
“I wonder if runners now are too fixated on high mileage. Are they willing to back off if they have a niggle or a sore throat? It’s crucial to do that.”
Rule 7 – Cross training – Substituting additional miles with another activity can be beneficial. Woolven says her aim during the winter months is to hit 70 miles per week, yet “some years it’s been higher – around 80 miles – and some years more like 50-60 miles”.
This winter she says she’s been hitting around 60 miles per week with a packed racing schedule.
“But I’ve also been substituting a couple of runs for some cycling,” Woolven says. “I’d far rather jump on the bike as a substitute for an easy run if I feel like I’d benefit more from it”.
Rule 8 – Athlete-centredness – Our physiological make-ups are vastly different and to improve we need diverse modes of training. “Every athlete is different,” says Butchart. “Some of us can cope with high mileage and some prefer the strength and conditioning side of training.
“I always think the sooner you can work out what works best for you the better. Do what works for you and stick to it.”
Individuality is highly important. “There is no set amount of mileage that produces winners as athletes are all different,” Duval agrees. “Some thrive on 150 miles per week, but others do just as well on 70 miles per week.”
What’s vital is determining your uppermost limit. “Finding your most beneficial mileage, and running up to it but not beyond it, is crucial,” says Spedding.

FAREWELL TO JOHN – 40 years a groundsman at Copthall and Allianz Park

BRYAN SMITH and GEOFF WILLIAMS attended his funeral at Hendon Crematorium – the chapel was full and the service included several very moving eulogies, particularly from his daughter and granddaughter but also from Alex, a Saracens work colleague. They all spoke about him being a real family orientated person, very keen on gardening and a very positive influence on everyone he met. He was a very hard worker and an utterly reliable and conscientious colleague. His knowledge of athletic groundsmanship was second to none. The above photograph shows the big screen at the Saracens v Sale match on Saturday 25 February when there was a similar announcement and a minutes silence in John’s memory.

SIX OF LONDON’S BEST LUNCHTIME RUNS – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
A team from The Color Run UK – the ‘Happiest 5K on the Planet’ – has put together a selection of runs to help you stay happy and healthy during your London lunch breaks
Each route varies in gradient and, depending on fitness level, can be made as hard or easy as you wish.
Running during your lunch break is not only a great way to improve fitness levels, but also provides a good excuse to escape the office for some fresh air. Exercising at lunch can have many positive benefits such as boosting mood levels and improving your chances of having a productive afternoon.

Regents Park and Primrose Hill
Regents Park provides multiple runs that offer scenic landscapes and a variety of routes that cater to all levels of fitness. Regents Park is the ultimate lunchtime escape, allowing your mind to block out the hustle and bustle of the office environment. For those looking for an extra challenge, why not head up to the top of Primrose Hill and be rewarded with unparalleled views of the city? This run is great for those based in North East London with Regent’s Park and Baker Street station just around the corner.

Tower Bridge to London Bridge (or Waterloo)
A popular route among people working in the city or on the Southbank. This route is flexible as runners can start anywhere along Embankment, while allowing you to take in amazing river views like the London Eye. This route can get busy during the summer time, so best to stick to smaller groups. This is also perfect for interval training due to the flat incline – so why not challenge yourself with some sprints? The nearest stations are Temple, Bank, Mansion House, Embankment and Southwark.

Euston – Kings Cross Canal
A flexible north London run which is ideal for those based near Camden Town, Euston, Kings Cross or Angel. This peaceful pocket of London allows you to take full advantage of the scenic canal, enabling you to feel miles away from the chaotic office atmosphere. Runners can start at Camden and head East towards Kings Cross for a quick lunchtime jog. For those wanting more of a challenge you can head down to Angel and back again. If your office is located near Granary Square take advantage of the water fountains during the summer months and cool off.

Royal Parks (x2) – Embankment to Green Park/St James
The famous four park run can be cut in half to achieve a quick lunchtime fix that won’t eat way at your itinerary. Runners can start at Embankment and head to St James’ Park, then on to Green Park. A lap around each and then back to Embankment is 5km. This run is perfect for clocking up those lunchtime miles in record time as it’s all flat. For an epic marathon-worthy moment, run along The Mall and get those endorphins rushing. You’ll feel ready to tackle the rest of the day after this run.

Battersea Park
If you’re starting in Chelsea, cross over the Chelsea Bridge and head straight into Battersea Park. Running around the boundary clocks is around 3.5km and there’s some lovely sights to keep you going. Head past the zoo, around the far border of the park by the lake and back along next to the Thames before crossing the bridge on the way back to the office. This picturesque run is a great one to if you’re based west and need to de-stress. The nearest stations are Battersea Park and Queenstown Road.

Greenwich Park
Be warned, this run is not for the faint-hearted. Greenwich Park boasts one of the most stunning views of the city, but that comes at a price. Get those hill sprints in with your colleagues as you tackle the mighty incline up to Greenwich Observatory, before heading down again and enjoying a lap or two of the flat park to finish off. This run is great for those looking to blow off some steam. Once back in the office, you can refuel with a mighty carbohydrate filled lunch. The nearest train stations are Maze Hill, Blackheath and Greenwich over ground.

KYLE LANGFORD LOOKING FORWARD TO A FAST FUTURE – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

Training changes and enjoying racing have made a big difference to the British indoor 600m record-breaker
He might have run 600m indoors quicker than any other Briton ever has, but KYLE insists he could have gone even faster in Athlone earlier this month.
The 21-year-old clocked 1:16.10 at the AIT International Grand Prix on February 15 to improve on DAI GREENE’S time of 1:16.22 from 2013.
That came after a below-par performance at the British Athletics Indoor Team Trials in Sheffield, where he finished fifth over 800m. Following his record-breaking run in Ireland, Langford went on to place third at the Müller Indoor Grand Prix, running an indoor PB of 1:46.79 for third.
“I’m happy but at the same time I’m that type of person, I always want to better what I’ve run,” said KYLE on his 600m. “I thought I could have gone faster. With how the pacing went, I felt decent, so I definitely think there’s a lot more to knock off there.” What makes his performance all the more impressive is that before this year, the European junior gold medallist hadn’t raced indoors since 2014, and even then, that was to contest a sole 400m.
Although disappointed with his run in Sheffield, KYLE – who has since been selected for GB’s European Indoor Championships team – says the race served a positive purpose and made him even more motivated. “I felt physically fine but mentally, it was my first race and I think I went into it a bit raw,” he said. “I lost concentration and when you lose concentration indoors it’s really unforgiving.
“I think it was a learning curve for me. I needed a bit of a kick up the a***. My main aim going into the indoor season was wanting to break the 600m record.
“I was really disappointed after Sheffield but it’s just one of those things. You’ve got to bounce back from it and I did that in two days.”
Having struggled with injury last year, the Shaftesbury Barnet athlete says he is now taking things more seriously and changes to his training programme, including the introduction of strength and conditioning, have made a big difference. KYLE is enjoying racing again and that is being reflected in his performances.
“Something that I didn’t do in the past is enjoy moments,” said the Watford-based runner, who gives huge credit to his coach, George Harrison. “It comes and goes so quick. I’ve realised, take your time and just make the most of it so that’s what I’m going to do.”
Having competed at the IAAF World Championships in Beijing two years ago, one particular moment KYLE hopes to enjoy this summer is reaching the final when the championships take place in London.
“All in my mind is that I want to make the final at Worlds,” he said. “I think making the final at Worlds is harder than winning a medal. Once you’re in a final any of the eight people can win a medal.
“Making the final is a massive thing for me. That’s what I’m aiming for.”

SAFETY ADVERTISEMENT – I wanted to let you know about a new range of running/cycling vests that we have brought to the UK from the USA called RoadNoise.
There are 2 models;
The Original – The original has built in speakers in the shoulders so you can listen to your favourite music whilst you run but without completely blocking out important background noise (i.e. cars, traffic, lorries etc.) which makes it a much safer option over ear-buds. It also features nice bright reflective stripes for added visibility on the road. Comes in a range of sizes and colours. It is also allowed in relay competitions where ear-buds are banned.
The Long Haul – The Long Haul is similar to The Original but is more advanced with the addition of an amplifier for increased sound, loads of pockets to hold reservoirs, bottles, lights etc. (we also sell a range of Hydrapak products which work seamlessly with the Long Haul).

You can learn more about both models at our website www.roadnoise.co.uk
The other reason I wanted to contact you is to offer you and your club members an intro offer of 20% off the RRP as we are keen to get the vests out there and get some feedback so we can further improve and refine the products.
Simply use the code INTRO20%OFF at checkout to get the discount.

PARKRUN – Can you make sure that you are registered as Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers, as the link I use to select all results only shows SBH athletes.

PHOTOGRAPHS – I would appreciate if you could send me any photographs, which I can then publish on the website and newsletter.

North West London League Results – NWLL Race 4 Hampstead Heath 18-02-17

JOHN – We regret to inform members that RANJIT which many of you knew him as JOHN , and was the groundsman at Allianz Park for over 20 years, passed away on the evening of the 15 February after suffering from pneumonia. For the past few months he had been in intensive care, and had just come out to the general ward in the Royal Free Hospital.
BRYAN SMITH reminisces – JOHN was a member of the ground staff at Copthall Stadium when the staff looked after the playing fields and the stadium. In the winter the fields were often ankle deep in mud but the ground staff could not call off football matches that was the job of the referee on the day the match was to played therefore the pitches HAD to be marked out. On a Friday, he would be seen guiding the marking machine as it was pulled through the mud by a fellow ground’s man with a rope around him attached to the marking machine. JOHN was the friendliest of staff and as soon as you walked into the Stadium John would immediately offer you a cup of tea or coffee and the offer wasn’t when you first arrived tea would be offered mid-morning, lunch time and mid-afternoon.
JOHN’S funeral is this Friday starting at 12:00 at Hendon Cemetery & Crematorium, Holders Hill Rd, London NW7 1NB.

ATHLETE INSIGHT – CHRIS BENNETT – Shaftesbury’s Hammer thrower gained Olympic and European qualification last summer and he told EILISH MCCOLGAN of Athletics Weekly about the training and lifestyle that made it happen
I played a lot of rugby as a kid. One of my friends invited me along to his athletics club to keep fit over the summer. Initially, I hated it. Then I saw someone training for the hammer so I asked to join in. My first few attempts didn’t go too well and I would end up really dizzy, but I stuck at it.
I live 400 miles away from my coach, Mick Jones. It’s an interesting coaching relationship because of the distance between us. I started working with him in 2013, after the death of my previous coach, Chief Inspector Alan Bertram MBE.
In the lead up to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, I decided to become a full-time athlete. I receive financial support from both Scottish Athletics and Sport Scotland which allowed me to take the step. I also do a little bit of coaching work for my club Shettleston Harriers and I help with the organisation of elite fields at the Great Run events.
Tough people last, tough times don’t. I had lost both my coach and my dad in the 18 months leading up to the Glasgow Games. The thing I had wanted most in the world was for both of them to see me throw at the Games. It was a difficult time and I really let it get to me. But in some respects it taught me so much about myself and helps me every day to become a better person and a better athlete.
I enjoy two parts of training; throwing and squatting. When it comes to squatting I love nothing more than getting the music up really loud in the gym and squatting some big weights.
I’m one of the shorter hammer throwers and so I find it easy to lift big. For instance this year (2016) I’ve done 220kg for 10 reps and 270kg for three reps.
I get up at least five hours before I’m due to compete. I’m not a morning person, so it usually takes me a good while to feel up and ready. I also tend to train the morning of a competition, just three to four throws. It almost acts as a warm up and makes the afternoon session feel much better and I tend to throw a lot further.
We hammer throwers have to battle against a lack of competitions on the world circuit. We get a lot less coverage than any of the other events in the Diamond League which results in less sponsorship and kit supplies. All we ask for is equality and inclusion, not some weak excuse that our event isn’t safe for the stadiums and tracks. It’s safe for the major championships, so what difference is there in the Diamond League?

RAY POWELL – Works as a painter & decorator, and for the Queen’s 90th Birthday in 2016 RAY painted one of his local Post Box in Shefford, Bedfordshire. Well RAY has now painted 6 more boxes (with the permission of the Post Office). The photograph shows him putting a final touch to one of his masterpieces. RAY has been a member of Shaftesbury for just over 42 years. Recently RAY had spotted a letter in the Daily Telegraph from a Mr Nicholas Horne of Castle Cary, Somerset suggesting our pillar boxes require a coat of fresh paint. RAY’S response was published in Saturday’s Telegraph inviting him to view the 7 completed pillar boxes.

MARILYN OKORO BACK IN BUSINESS – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently.

Generated by IJG JPEG Library

MARILYN says a settled new lifestyle in the United States is the reason for her impressive return to form, which includes a fast 600m in (1:26.72) indoors last month.
The former British champion has an outdoor 800m best of (1:58.45) dating back to 2008, which ranks her No.6 on the UK all-time lists, but has not broken two minutes for the distance since 2013.
But MARILYN was recently appointed director of track and field operations at the University of Central Florida and has started the 2017 in encouraging form with a 600m time which is only eight hundredths of a second short of JENNY MEADOWS UK indoor record.
MARILYN is unlikely to run the British Indoor Championships the weekend and instead is due to race 800m on 10 February in Boston, but she is setting her sights on London 2017 and believes she can be competitive right up until Tokyo 2020. “I think I have another Olympic cycle in me” she says “As for London this year – it would be a dream to race there”.
MARILYN has struggles for form in the last three years due to a mixture of hamstring problems and the anxiety of not knowing how permanent her stay in the US will be. At last year’s British Olympic trials, for example, she finished an underpar third in her 800m heat in 2.06.
“In 2013I came to the US and thought I’d give the sport one more go, “I needed a change and maybe there was a bit of escapism in me, but it’s starting to pay off.”
MARILYN began to be coached by JOHNNY GRAY – a four-time Olympian whose 1:42.60 in 1985 still stands as the US record. “He’s really laid-back, extremely motivational and has an amazing background as an athlete,” she says. “NATASHA DANVERS put him in my direction and things are going well with him. We believe proper preparation prevents poor performance – and at the moment I don’t think I’ve ever felt stronger.”
It follows a period of uncertainty for the Brit, who says that until she got her new job she was flitting back and forth from the US to the UK every three months on a waiver programme but she now has a visa which allows her to stay longer. Initially, all the medics she knew and trusted were in the UK, too. “I was doing a lot of remote physio, which wasn’t ideal, bit in April 2016 I met a great physio in the US.”
“Many times I’ve wanted to come home. My life has never been super-smooth but the last four years have been the most turbulent. But I’ve learnt never to give up on your dreams. If I end athletics, I want it to be on my terms.”
MARILYN’S best form was in 2008 when she won the 800m in style at the annual grand prix in London. On her event now, she says. “Of course I watched everything during the Olympics. I’m a big fan of the sport and you have to keep an eye on the opposition!
“Hats off to LAURA MUIR and LYNSEY SHARP – they have really come on and are running off a lot of confidence. And I’m looking forward to racing SHELAYNA OSKAN-CLARKE again as she’s an old training partner of mine and she’s come on leaps and bounds. Ultimately I respect everyone I race but I don’t fear anyone.”
MARILYN adds, “I’m relishing to be that person who challenges CASTER (SEMENYA, Olympic champion) in that last 100m. CASTER has set the mark and it’s a climate I’m looking forward to running as I think it’s a cleaner era now.”

NORTH WEST LONDON LEAGUE – Information on the fourth fixture of five which takes place on Saturday 18 February at Hampstead Heath Extension.
The race courses are all within an area known as Hampstead Heath Extension, off Hampstead Way. This area has not previously been used for cross country running although it is not far distant from the much loved and often used Parliament Hill Fields. The courses devised by London Heathside within the Extension area should work well for young athlete events being closely confined and spectator friendly. The slight drawback is that there is no car parking within the parkland area and some of the nearby roads have restricted parking. Car sharing or better still use of public transport is advised. (Golders Green Underground Station is about half mile). To assist you in getting to the park area the postcode for SatNav users is (NW11 7DP)
The first race will start at 12 noon (Under 11 Girls) – programme will then follow the usual pattern. There are changing rooms with toilets are available.
Note: You do not have to be pre-entered, just turn up and run. Will any of our Female athletes please see TONY SMITH who will give you a race number

MELISSA COURTNEY – The following article was published in Athletics Weekly recently, in which she was interviewed by EILISH MCCOLGAN. I started out as a swimmer. One of my friends from swimming took me along to her athletics club to take part in some ‘land-based training’. I tried everything; hurdles, throws, jumps but middle distance seemed to come most natural to me. From there I did cross country for my local club Poole AC.

I’ve been with my coach, MARK PAULEY, from the age of 12. My Dad also got into coaching as the group began to grow and he’s still involved to this day, both with the group and training programme. During my time at Brunel University, I would dip in and out of sessions with the University group. It meant I wasn’t doing everything on my own and worked really well.
I loved training at Loughborough. Since I moved there I have UKA coached DAVID HAMER and ROB DENMARK overseeing my sessions. Mark sends my programme and they help to link my sessions up with the other girls as possible. It’s the first time I have been able to train with a group of girls. It’s such talented group with ROSIE CLARKE, BOBBY CLAY, KATIE SNOWDEN and KATE AVERY.
I probably moan the most on cross country and hill sessions. I worked hard on my speed endurance last year. It used to be my least favourite part of training but I’ve actually learnt to enjoy it. In the summer, I love a race pace session or something really speedy, like flat out 200m. A session I used to hate was 1km reps on the track but as I’ve got older these type of sessions have become my favourite. I’m even started to enjoy my long runs of 12-13 miles – those I used to really dread.
I don’t tend to taper down much for my indoor races. By the summer, I have done a lot more speed work and race pace. The intensity of my sessions is much harder and so the mileage is reduced throughout the summer months.
Rest is just as important as training. It’s so important not to underestimate recovery; making sure you have rest days planned into your programme in order for you to recover mentally and physically. One piece of advice to younger athletes would be to enjoy the sport as much as they can – have fun with training and racing.
I live with my boyfriend, the decathlete ASHLEY BRYANT. When we met, I had been plateauing at my PB for about five years. I think he really gave me a kick up the bum that I needed to improve. He showed me how hard I needed to work and what it takes to make championships and GB teams. Living together definitely helps, as we both understand that we need to eat healthily, go to sleep early and our lives are focused around training schedules and recovery. It’s important that we know when to switch off athletics and take our minds away from the sport.
When ASH won silver at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in 2014, I was in the crowd watching. I couldn’t have been more proud. His moment on the podium definitely inspired me.
My family come to watch nearly all my competitions. Even though I now live in Loughborough, I still get to see my parents a fair bit. Over the winter, I spend quite a few months abroad at high altitude training camps, for about four weeks at a time. It can be hard being away from my family and my boyfriend but I know the sacrifice will benefit my training.
I’ve been to Kenya three times and Flagstaff once. It’s definitely something I’ll continue to include in the future. I really the benefit from altitude training, although it seems to take me a couple of weeks rather than a few days to start racing well.
Making my first senior GB team last year was amazing. I competed at the European Championships in Amsterdam over the 1500m. I was hoping to make the final but unfortunately I didn’t make it through the heats. But it made me more determined to improve on that next time.
My aim this year is to make the GB team for the World Championships in London. I would also like to run the qualifying time to ensure I’m selected for Wales the following year, at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games in 2018.

NORTH WEST LONDON LEAGUE – Information on the fourth fixture of five which takes place on Saturday 18 February at Hampstead Heath Extension.
The race courses are all within an area known as Hampstead Heath Extension, off Hampstead Way. This area has not previously been used for cross country running although it is not far distant from the much loved and often used Parliament Hill Fields. The courses devised by London Heathside within the Extension area should work well for young athlete events being closely confined and spectator friendly. The slight drawback is that there is no car parking within the parkland area and some of the nearby roads have restricted parking. Car sharing or better still use of public transport is advised. (Golders Green Underground Station is about half mile). To assist you in getting to the park area the postcode for SatNav users is (NW11 7DP)
The first race will start at 12 noon (Under 11 Girls) – programme will then follow the usual pattern. There are changing rooms with toilets are available.

BETH POTTER – Has turned to triathlon in the build-up to the Tokyo Olympics after fulfilling her running ambitions by making the Rio Olympics at 10,000m.
The 25 year-old has quit her job as a physics teacher in London and moved to Leeds to be part of the same triathlon training group as Alistair and Jonny Brownlee, plus Non Stanford – a former teenage running star who won the world triathlon title in 2013.
BETH told The Herald newspaper she was excited about the move but added: “At the same time I’m a bit worried. It’s a new challenge, but I’ve had loads of support and already”.
As a teenage swimmer BETH won Scottish national medals, but has little cycling background.
BETH is not immediately turning her back on running, though, and plans to run the trials for the IAAF World Championships in London this summer. “Perhaps I would have wanted to do better at the Olympics but triathlon is something I’ve always wanted to have a go at. And it was the right time to make the move”.
“The next Olympics are another four years away so I have the time if I want to go back. But now I want to give it a crack for six-12 months and see how I fare

WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS 2017 KIT CARRIERS – KATIE ALCOCK who managed our very successful London 2012 team, has volunteered to run our kit carrier team at London 2017. The IAAF World Championships and World Para Athletics Championships only happen every two years and for them both to be held in London after the UK hosting both the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games is not only history-making but exciting for the sport and for those who live, study and work in London.

England Athletics will be working alongside the Local Organising Committee (London 2017 Ltd) for both Championships, to recruit teams of Kit Carriers. This offers the opportunity for approximately 180 young people to experience being part of the Championships and for some to get a taste of volunteering for the first time. Teams will have the opportunity to volunteer for either one or both Championships. The role of Kit Carrier is invaluable for ensuring that athletes can feel safe in the knowledge that their belongings will be looked after, allowing them to concentrate on the task of being competitive and trust that they will be able to access their belongings after they have competed.

Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers have been invited to apply to bring a team of 16-18yrs olds, who will carry out the role of Kit Carriers for all competing athletes. Each team will require 10 young athletes’ and 2 supervisors. Please find more information in relation to this opportunity by clicking here http://www.londonathletics.org/kit-carriers-2017

If you’re interested in volunteering as part of the SBH team, please email KATIE ALCOCK at katie_alcock87@hotmail.co.uk now to let her know your availability as she will be managing the application process. Timelines: Deadline for applications – 5 February 2017 – 12 Midnight, Outcome: April 2017, Completion of team member profile – End of May 2017, Induction including ‘run through’ of duties – June/July 2017 – Good luck!

FEBRUARY WORKSHOPS – You may be interested in one of the following workshops

JUNIOR PARKRUN – Saracens Sport Foundation are looking for a group of adult volunteers that can help create the first ever junior parkrun in Barnet. We need dedicated people who would like to give a couple of hours of their time on a Sunday morning every week to set up and deliver the junior parkrun event. By being part of this project you will be helping to encourage the next generation to take part in regular running. We’re looking for volunteers who will be advocates for the event, who can help promote this great regular 2km running programme (participants to be aged 4-14 years) within their local communities in Barnet.
Event organiser – Joining a partnership of staff and volunteers delivering this new programme, you’ll be the event organisers on the ground on a weekly basis.
Event volunteers – Meeting youngsters and families in the morning before the event, helping marshal the course (2km) and helping people get their times at the end.
Admin volunteers – We also need 1-2 volunteers that would be happy to spend an additional hour a week uploading the results of the weekly run to the parkrun system.

If you’re interested in getting involved, please contact Emily Neilan emilyneilan@saracens.net

NORTH WEST LONDON LEAGUE – Information on the fourth fixture of five which takes place on Saturday 18 February at Hampstead Heath Extension.
The race courses are all within an area known as Hampstead Heath Extension, off Hampstead Way. This area has not previously been used for cross country running although it is not far distant from the much loved and often used Parliament Hill Fields. The courses devised by London Heathside within the Extension area should work well for young athlete events being closely confined and spectator friendly. The slight drawback is that there is no car parking within the parkland area and some of the nearby roads have restricted parking. Car sharing or better still use of public transport is advised. (Golders Green Underground Station is about half mile). To assist you in getting to the park area the postcode for SatNav users is (NW11 7DP)
The first race will start at 12 noon (Under 11 Girls) – programme will then follow the usual pattern. There are changing rooms with toilets are available.
The attached map of the area that shows the location of the Extension which is on the top left on the map, link to map
Note: You do not have to be pre-entered, just turn up and run. Will any of our Female athletes please see TONY SMITH who will give you a race number

NORTH WEST LONDON LEAGUE – Information on the fourth fixture of five which takes place on Saturday 18 February at Hampstead Heath Extension.
The race courses are all within an area known as Hampstead Heath Extension, off Hampstead Way. This area has not previously been used for cross country running although it is not far distant from the much loved and often used Parliament Hill Fields. The courses devised by London Heathside within the Extension area should work well for young athlete events being closely confined and spectator friendly. The slight drawback is that there is no car parking within the parkland area and some of the nearby roads have restricted parking. Car sharing or better still use of public transport is advised. (Golders Green Underground Station is about half mile). To assist you in getting to the park area the postcode for SatNav users is (NW11 7DP)
The first race will start at 12 noon (Under 11 Girls) – programme will then follow the usual pattern. There are changing rooms with toilets are available.
The attached map of the area that shows the location of the Extension which is on the top left on the map, link to map
Note: You do not have to be pre-entered, just turn up and run. Will any of our Female athletes please see TONY SMITH who will give you a race number

CHRIS BENNETT – Athletics Weekly featured an article on CHRIS this last week. British Hammer champion CHRIS BENNETT is riding high following a season that saw him gain European and Olympic qualification. He tells EILISH McCOLGAN about the training that made it happen.

I played a lot of rugby as a kid. One of my friends invited me along to his athletics club to keep fit over the summer. Initially, I hated it. Then I saw someone training for the hammer so I asked to join in. My first few attempts didn’t go too well and I would end up dizzy, but I stuck at it.
I live 400 miles away from my coach, Mick Jones. It’s an interesting coaching relationship because of the distance between us. I started working with him in 2013, after the death of my previous coach, Chief Inspector Alan Bertram MBE.
In the lead up to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games, I decided to become a full-time athlete. I receive financial support from both Scottish Athletics and Sport Scotland which allowed me to take the step.
I also do a little bit of coaching work for the local club Shettleston Harriers and I help with the organisation of elite fields at the Great Run events.
Tough people last, tough times don’t. I had lost both my coach and my dad in the 18 months leading up to the Glasgow Games. The thing I had wanted most in the world was for both of them to see me throw at the Games.
It was a difficult time and I really let it get to me. But in some respects it taught me so much about myself and helps me every day to become a better person and a better athlete.
I enjoy two parts of training; throwing and squatting. When it comes to squatting I love nothing more than getting the music up really loud in the gym and squatting some big weights.
I’m one of the shorter hammer throwers and so I find it easy to lift big. For instance this year I’ve done 220kg for 10 reps and 270kg for three reps.
I get up at least five hours before I’m due to compete. I’m not a morning person, so it usually takes me a good while to feel up and ready. I also tend to train the morning of a competition, just three to four throws. It almost acts as a warm up and makes the afternoon session feel much better and I tend to throw a lot further.
We hammer throwers have to battle against a lack of competitions on the world circuit. We get a lot less coverage than any of the other events in the Diamond League which results in less sponsorship and kit supplies.
All we ask for is equality and inclusion, not some weak excuse that our event isn’t safe for the stadiums and tracks. It’s safe for the major championships, so what difference is there in the Diamond League?

CRYSTAL PALACE LOOKS TO BE BACK IN BUSINESS – Reported this week on the Athletics Weekly website, they highlighted what could turn out to be the greatest comeback of 2017. Crystal Palace is poised to start staging meetings again after a recent and ongoing renovation programme has breathed fresh life into the historic arena, writes Jason Henderson.
Starting with three indoor events on January 4 and 18 followed by February 1, the venue is due to stage the South of England Championships for seniors and juniors on June 10- 11 and under-17 and under-15 athletes on August 19-20. In addition, there will be four open meetings there next summer.
It marks a huge turnaround in fortunes for a run-down venue that was threatened with closure.
“Crystal Palace has a global reputation and is possibly the most iconic track and field venue in Europe,” John Powell, chair of the Crystal Palace Sports Partnership, told AW.
“It will be of interest of many in the sport that these meetings will be returning to Crystal Palace next year and that it will be match-fit for competitive athletics.”
Powell admits it’s been “one heck of a fight” to get to the current situation where considerable improvements to facilities such as the toilets have been made lately, with the Greater London Authority and Mayor of London Sadiq Khan understood to be looking favourably at further options to redevelop the stadium.
“It marks the turning point of a long period of managed decline,” added an optimistic Powell, who has been coaching at the venue since the mid-1970s.
“Through this whole sorry saga and despite being run-down and rotting in places, a large number of athletes have carried on training there due to its reputation, good transport links and large population base in the area.”

MARATHON TRAINING – The following article was published on the Athletics Weekly website recently – Planning to run a spring marathon? Liz McColgan-Nuttall insists getting some cross country in your legs will have you in shape for 26.2 miles

As the year starts to wind towards a close, it’s only natural for the mind to start focusing on what’s next and which challenges to set for 2017.
Taking on a spring marathon will be at the top of many runners’ lists – and Liz McColgan-Nuttall is no different. In fact, the former 10,000m world champion and London Marathon winner has begun preparations for the mission she will carry out next May – running the inaugural Stirling Scottish Marathon.
Race day may still be some months off but McColgan-Nuttall insists there really is no time like the present when it comes to getting in shape for a successful run over 26.2 miles.
With that in mind, she doesn’t prescribe logging big mileage on the tarmac. Instead, the Olympic silver medallist and double Commonwealth champion would recommend heading for the nearest cross-country event to ensure the perfect long-term marathon preparation.
“It (cross country) would be a good stepping-stone (to marathon running). Cross country is the backbone of endurance running,” says the Great Marathon Series ambassador. “It gives you the strength in the legs, it gives you the drive that you need and it’s all very akin to the kind of running that you need to be a marathon runner.
“Cross country is the backbone of endurance running”
“Most marathon runners will come from a good cross-country background. Very few distance runners I know that went on to be champions didn’t come from doing the mud running from a young age.
“It uses all the muscles in your feet and your legs – everything that you need to use, it strengthens. That’s why it’s important to do cross country – especially for endurance runners.”
McColgan-Nuttall had her share of success when it came to cross country, but she admits she never purposely trained for the season. That’s largely because staying off the road was permanently at the heart of her training.
“Cross country has always been what endurance running is to me,” she adds. “It made me the runner that I was. I always trained on golf courses – around the Carnoustie and Dundee area (her home town) it’s all golf courses.
“I was always up and down on the grass because that was available to me.
“You’ve got to be careful of the impact (marathon) training will have on your legs and people forget that there are a loads of green areas all over Britain where you could really benefit from doing fartleks, hill running and barefoot running, which I did a lot.
“Cross country has always been what endurance running is to me”
“There are so many elements that you can do other than just getting on a road or getting on a treadmill and running for two hours. Because that’s not what marathon running is. When you do a marathon, you’re running anything from two-and-a-half hours to five hours and you’ve got to prepare your body for that.
“Cross country enables you to do that – with a bit of a safety element involved too because it is on a softer surface.
“It is challenging but it really does develop good strength and the stabilising muscles which help marathon running.
“If you were to sit down and say ‘what do I need to do in a gym to replicate that?’ then the experts would tell you ‘you need to do squats, you need to do lunges…’ well why don’t you just go and run up a hill instead?
“Cross country conditions are different from year to year and season to season, so there’s always something that challenges the body and I always think that, no matter who you are, you always have some sort of weakness that you have got to try and strengthen.
“I’m a big stickler for – anyone that takes up running, strengthen the structure before you run. If you don’t do any strengthening work, you’ll just get injured and you just don’t last. So, for me, cross country ticks that box as well.”

RUNNING AT NIGHT – The following article was on the Athletics Weekly website recently.
From reflective clothing and a head torch to even a flying drone light – make sure you can see and be seen on your night run
When preparing for a run in the dark there are plenty of practical considerations to address, not least what to wear. Fluorescent colours are great for dim, grey days but, at night, white clothing with plenty of reflective strips shows up better in motorists’ headlights.
Reflection works best on body parts that move the most — arms and legs rather than trunk or back — but the more you have, the better. When it comes to the benefits of a head torch, the jury is out. Experts at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents say they are not very useful if you use them simply to be more visible to motorists, but they will help to prevent you from bumping into obstacles or falling down potholes.
Taking the projection of torch light even further, UK insurer Direct Line has recently partnered with drone experts to create a prototype fleet of flying torch drones that are responsive to an individual’s movements and controlled via a bespoke app (pictured) image.

“This ground-breaking prototype technology could serve a really positive purpose in the future – providing a safer, more efficient way to light both individuals and organisations,” said futurologist Dr Ian Pearson.
“From local councils, search & rescue teams and the emergency services right through to local cycling and running clubs, the usages are endless and I can see this being commonplace by 2021.”
Whatever technology you choose, no amount of night-training products will make up for acclimatisation to the dark. You should allow your eyes time to get used to the dark when the nights draw in as your peripheral vision is reduced.

RECOVERY IS IMPORTANT – The following article was on the Athletics Weekly website recently, in which MARA YAMAUCHI explains, some reflection on your achievements is another part of making progress.

In the article below MARA mentions her former coach BOB PARKER, for those who are not aware BOB is one of Shaftesbury’s longest serving member, and is famous for coaching our current President and former world record holder DAVID BEDFORD.

BOB and his wife SYLVIA were the mainstay of Britain’s most successful Women’s club in the 1990’s, Parkside Harrow, which produced 4 individual National Cross Country winners, ANDREA WHITCOMBE 1990, 1991 and 1997, KATY MCCANDLESS 1995, ALISON WYETH 1996 and MARA MYERS (YAMAUCHI) in 1978. They also won the National team title from 1989 to 1996 – 8 consecutive years. Their success on the road was less spectacular winning the National road relay in 1992 and 1994. On a personal note I had the pleasure of training with the girls, from BOB’S house in North Harrow, and those torturous road reps in which I was given a substantial start, with BOB cycling alongside me urging me on to just finish in front of the marauding pack behind.

In the 2008 Beijing Olympic marathon, where I finished sixth, my goal had been to just make the GB team and reach the Olympics. But as I improved, I found myself moving the goalposts and demanding more of myself.

I should have been over the moon with my position after only aiming to make the team. But the tantalisingly close bronze medal – just 22 seconds ahead of me at the finish line – made me hungry for more and somehow dissatisfied with a performance that I should have been thrilled about.

That hunger made me rest for far too short a time afterwards, and I pressed on with two more marathons in quick succession. These were both good runs, but they left me with an injury that led to a downward trend in performances and eventually retirement.

Of course, hindsight is a wonderful thing, but looking back now, I wish I had been more patient and willing to reflect on my Beijing performance. So here, for the benefit of all distance runners out there, is what I learned from my mistakes: Training and competition are not what make you fitter and faster. What does is the adaptation your body undergoes in response to the stimulus of training or racing. The beneficial ‘damage’ you put your body through by training or competing, for example micro-tears in your muscles, fuel depletion and fatigue, serve to trigger a process of adaptation. This might include creating more capillaries or mitochondria, or becoming more efficient at processing lactic acid, all of which make you able to run faster in the future.

This process is known as super-compensation. It applies as much after a race as after training. If you allow your body to rest and adapt, you will improve. But if you rush into the next race or training session too soon, the opportunity for adaptation is sub-optimal or lost altogether, and the result is that performances start stagnating or becoming worse. A race is like a training session with maximal input and effort, above and beyond what you might do in a normal training session, so giving your body the chance to rest and adapt after racing is indispensable.

Your body needs time to rest but so does your mind. Racing is as much a mental as it is a physical challenge. I remember my former coach from Parkside Harrow AC, Bob Parker, describing how you should feel on the start line of a race – raring to go, full of energy, and relishing the challenge ahead. All this is about being mentally fresh, and ready to push yourself. The Japanese marathon legend Toshihiko Seko, a winner of the London, Boston and Chicago Marathons, used to use track racing as a break from the marathon to rejuvenate himself before returning to another marathon.

Stop to reflect after a race. It’s a chance to refine and improve your routine before diving into the next challenge. This is crucial for long-term improvement. We must, from time to time, take an objective look at how we’re doing and seek to improve any areas that are lacking. My sports psychologist, Sarah Cecil, got me to write a list of all the positive things I had done in the lead-up to a marathon, and then read this list on the eve of the race. This made me realise that, even if the result turned out to be not what I wanted, I could go into the race feeling confident and knowing that I had done my absolute level best.

Take time out after races. Celebrate the result, all the hard work that went into it before race day, and the people whose support enabled you to deliver that performance. Running is a sport defined by goals, achievements and standards, and there will always be more of those ahead of you. Even if you are an Olympic champion, you could still improve by setting a world-record, or becoming a double gold-medal winner. There really never is a ‘finish line’ of achievement.

DAVID SWEENEY AND STUART MOORE IN AUSTRALIA – Before I talk about Dave Sweeney’s exploits at the World Masters Championships in Perth, Australia, I will reveal the background on how DAVID and STUART finally made Australia their home.

STUART first went to Australia in 1986 where he met his wife CHRISTINE, they got married in 2001 and have two children, LAUREN who is 10 and DECLAN is 12.

DAVID first visited Australia in 1988/89 on a backpacker’s visa, where he met his wife NATALIE, and they both moved back to England in 1990. They made the permanent move back in 2004 to Brisbane, and have four children, OLIVER who is 22, KATE 20, MAX 16 and LILY 13. The newest member to the family is SASCHA who is a 3 year old Beagle Staffy cross.

They both take a great photograph.

RAY POWELL has told me that from the ages of 13-17, DAVID, PHIL BROWN and himself used to train together at least 3-4 times a week and we became great friends, and we were in many winning cross country teams together. But the only blip in DAVID’S amazing cv came in the Barnet Schools 1976 cross country championships. Then there were two leagues in the borough, with RAY winning his five races and DAVID won his five races. The Final brought both leagues together, and there was a lot in the press about POWELL and SWEENEY finally meeting. In the end (you can Guess) RAY came out the winner with PHIL BROWN 2nd and DAVID 3rd, although RAY as always generous to the end, admitted DAVID did have a very bad cold, so he did not celebrate too much.

With the World Master’s approaching DAVID’S training was going well, and was not only looking forward to the Championship’s but also meeting up with his mate STUART in Perth. STUART works for BDO who are one of the main sponsors of the Championship so they attended the Athletes Party with sponsors tickets. We got to meet Stuart Galloway from Canada, 3rd in the M55 5000m and 1st in the 1500m. He is retired from work! I can’t believe people my age are so well set they are retired at 55!

DAVID’S performances in the Championships were outstanding, winning 6 Gold Medals.

Firstly, on the track the 5000m (16:43.07) winning by 23 seconds, then the 10000m (33:15.16) this time winning by a margin of 2 minutes and 24 seconds.

Next came the Cross Country and was equally as impresses winning the 8000m (27.18) by 1 minute and 53 seconds. Finally, on the Road won the Half Marathon (1:13.42) by 1 minute and 33 seconds.

DAVID was also a member of the Australian team that won the 8000m Cross Country and Half Marathon team Gold Medals.
