It’s good to talkEDITOR’S LETTER

THE row about the rise in affi liation fees isn’t really about the rise in affi liation fees. Instead, clubs seem more annoyed by the clumsy, dictatorial way it has been imposed on them by England Athletics.

Not for the fi rst time, the governing body has been accused of lack of consultation. The fact this tax increase has happened so soon after the Olympics merely intensifi es the pain.

The grassroots of the sport took the opportunity to throw a bit of mud at the decision-makers at EA’s AGM last Saturday (see p12-13). The rise in fees is inevitable – and the clubs know this – but what irks them most is not so much the scheme but the style in which it’s been hurled at them.

To avoid similar problems in future, EA and UKA must work on their communication. It’s an eternal problem, but there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Chris Jones, the interim chief executive of EA, tells AW there is talk of building a series of road shows permanently into the calendar, most logically in the autumn period. This will give club offi cials and athletes the chance to voice their opinions on a regular basis on fi xed dates as opposed to the rather hit-and-miss approach of yesteryear.

“One thing we’ve learned is that we need to be absolutely transparent around consultation,” says Jones, while the new chair of EA, Peter King, adds: “Clearly there’s a body of people who feel disconnected, so we’re going to try to sort this out.”

Around a decade ago, UKA staged an annual congress where anybody could turn up to give their view to the sport’s leaders and take part in seminars discussing thorny issues such as the fi xtures calendar, competition and membership schemes.

Perhaps this big get-together should be re-introduced, together with smaller gatherings at regional level. EA and UKA have historically insisted they consult to the hilt, but clearly clubs do not agree.

Too many ideas in the past have been presented as a fait accompli. The rise in affi liation fees is no diff erent. Yet maybe this current debate will lead to positive change in future.

The outcry from clubs – as seen in last week’s letters section in AW and Saturday’s AGM in Birmingham – has defi nitely rattled EA. Now, clubs must avoid retreating to their bunkers if they want this momentum to continue.

Rio challenge for new coachBRITISH athletics is hoping new Olympic head coach Peter Eriksson can have the same impact in this role as he did leading the country’s Paralympians into London 2012.

As Paralympic head coach, the Swedish-born Canadian was credited with a 29-medal haul in London, including eleven golds, seven silvers and eleven bronze, elevating Britain to third in the order behind China and Russia.

This was an improvement on Beijing when Britain won two golds, seven silvers and eight bronze for 18th place on the medal table.

Eriksson, who began working for UKA in 2009, earlier this week has become the most high-profi le appointment of new performance director Neil Black following the resignation in September of Charles van Commenee as head coach. Eriksson will be involved in the hiring of a replacement Paralympic head coach.

The popular Van Commenee will be a hard act to follow, although it was the British team’s failure to hit the Dutchman’s medal tally of eight in London that led to his decision to quit.

Eriksson, a former long-track speed skater, is also personal coach to Paralympic 100m and 200m champion Hannah Cockroft and London 2012 wheelchair marathon silver medallist Shelly Woods.

“It is a great privilege to be asked to take on this role,” said Eriksson. “I will continue with the methods and approach that has proved so successful in the Paralympic arena, and that has been about strong performance management of our best medal prospects to maximise the likelihood of medal-winning performances.

“The Olympic team performed very well in London, fi nishing fourth in the world with four golds so I have a great platform on which to build. But I believe that we can still do better in Rio 2016, and of course when the IAAF

World Athletics Championships take place in the London Olympic Stadium in 2017. The next fi ve years look like an exhilarating time for British athletics.”

The decision follows by one week the announcement that the federation had hired renowned sports psychiatrist Steve Peters (see p11).

Black said: “Peter has proved time and again that he has the priceless ability to lead and inspire athletes to deliver when it matters most – at the biggest championships, on the global stage. He is a rare talent, fantastically well-positioned to now assume leadership of the Olympic team, and to build on the impressive progress the sport has made between Beijing and London.”

The 59-year-old has been a coach at seven Paralympic Games, fi ve Olympic Games and six World Championships. He has guided athletes to 122 Paralympic medals and included in these is Chantal Pettitclerc, the Canadian who picked up 14 golds and who joined UKA as a coach and

mentor for the Paralympic programme last year.

He is a contrasting fi gure to the outgoing Dutch head coach. The straight-talking, no-nonsense Van Commenee would appear to have been replaced by a perhaps less combative Eriksson, who believes in listening to athletes.

As Black admitted: “Peter’s and my approach is probably a little more ‘let’s sit down and listen’, to appear as if more time is spent getting an understanding before making a decision. At times it appeared that Charles didn’t do that, or wasn’t interested in that, although having worked with him I think he did more of that than people think.”

His perceived ability to get athletes to peak at the right time will have been one of the key elements in his gaining the appointment.

UKA chief executive Niels de Vos said: “That’s the thing that Peter has proved over his 20 to 30 years as a coach. People he works with do tend to peak on the right day, and that’s what we need.”

Idowu gets off on right footNEW head coach Peter Eriksson received a positive and ironic welcome on Twitter from Phillips Idowu, who famously did not see eye to eye with the Swede’s predecessor.

Idowu tweeted just after the news had been made public: “Happy 4 Peter Erikkson, met him in Italy a few yrs ago & he was actually coaching (not just a title). We had a nice convo about his kids.”

Charles van Commenee and Idowu had a very public spat in the summer of 2011 over the triple jumper allegedly announcing his withdrawal from the British team for the European Team Championships on Twitter.

The non-tweeting Van Commenee labelled the social network as a place for “clowns and attention-seekers”.

Eriksson, on the other hand, does have a Twitter account and will have a head start in trying to get Idowu back on side as they have a mutual appreciation.

Eriksson said of Idowu: “At the training camp in Italy I had many meals with him and I find him a really nice guy. We talk a lot about our children, so we have a common interest. We get along great.”

DEREK HAWKINS has unfi nished business on the track but he has boosted his options for the future with a solid marathon debut of 2:14:04 in Frankfurt on Sunday.

At the age of 23, the Leeds City athlete was younger than most 26-mile debutants and the time which ranks him second in the UK this year came after a low-mileage spell of training, too.

Hawkins explained how he decided to make an early bid for Commonwealth Games selection at the new distance after a disappointing track campaign in the summer caused by food poisoning.

“I’m very pleased with the time,” he told AW. “I had in my head I could run 2:14, but because it was my fi rst I was a bit unsure about how it would go, particularly the last 7km.

He clocked splits of 67:33 and then 66:31 to place 18th overall. “The plan was to come through the second half faster, but I came through a lot faster than I actually expected,” said Hawkins, who ran a half-marathon PB of 64:07 at the Bupa Great North Run in September.

His performance is all the more impressive given his build-up. “Up until I decided to do it I had never done over 100 [miles per week], so I thought going over 110 was a bit dangerous,” he said. “I think a had a couple of weeks of just over 100, but it was probably lower than the traditional method, but because my mileage was lower I tried to make the runs count and make it as specifi c as possible.”

This involved runs of up to 24 miles on a Sunday, often

including 16 miles of mixed tempo, such as eight miles at marathon pace, one mile tempo, four miles marathon pace, one mile tempo and two miles marathon pace.

The marathon idea came after he contracted campylobacter food poisoning last summer. “The plan for 2012 summer was to try to get as close to 29 minutes as possible at the 10,000 Olympic trials, but the food poisoning two weeks beforehand knocked the stuffi ng out of me. I went to the trials and ran 30:47.”

He added: “After the trials, it seemed to quiten down a bit so it seemed a good opportunity to have a crack at the marathon with it being two years out

before Commonwealth Games.”But he has not given up on

the track just yet. “I feel I’ve not done myself justice on the track for the next two seasons for whatever reason,” he said.

However, Hawkins, who was 91st in the World Cross Country Championships last year, has high hopes for the marathon too.

He sailed under the Scottish qualifi cation standard for Glasgow 2014 and also admits to having half an eye on World Championships selection for Britain next year. He said of his ultimate aims: “I’d like to get a lot closer to 2:12 and beyond over the next few years, but that’s not going to happen straight away.”

Sharp wins Scottish awardON a good weekend for the Hawkins family, Derek’s father, Robert, was named performance coach of the year at the Scottish Athletics awards in Glasgow on Saturday.

However, the main award of the night went to Lynsey Sharp, the Olympic 800m semi-finalist who was picked over fellow Games representatives Freya Murray and Eilidh Child.

The European silver medallist received the award from David Weir, making it the second year in succession she picked up the top honour.

Emily Dudgeon made it a double for Edinburgh AC as she collected the under-20 award, while Libby Clegg won the Paralympian of the year award.

Hawkins was unable to attend as he was in Frankfurt to watch his son’s marathon debut, but he was recognised for his work at Kilbarchan AC, as well as coaching Derek’s younger brother, Callum, who is currently studying in the States.

Other award winners were: Under-18: John McCall, Masters: Fiona Matheson, Road Race Grand Prix: Ross Houston (men) and Gemma Rankin (women), Eddie Campbell Memorial Medal: Peter Harrison.

Olympians thank Livery aidROBBIE GRABARZ, Lawrence Okoye, Jack Green, Sophie Hitchon and Andy Pozzi were present at a lunch on Monday celebrating the success of a visionary scheme which funded several eventual London 2012 Olympians back in 2010.

The “Twelve Great Livery Companies 2012 Athletics Fund” event was also attended by Jean Pickering, the administrator of the Ron Picking Memorial Fund, which selected the athletes to benefi t.

Jean herself was prestigiously honoured at the event, being made a “member” of the Drapers’ Company and receiving the freedom of the City of London.

The Livery Companies are a set of trade associations which set up the £150,000 fund to help 21 young athletes to reach their potential.

The link with the RMPF came about after a meeting between Jean and Lady Victoria Leatham, the master of the Draper’s Company this year who happens to be the daughter of Lord Burghley, the 1928 Olympic 400m hurdles champion.

The athletes met up on Monday to celebrate their successes in London 2012 at which nine of the twenty-one athletes competed, led by Olympic bronze medallist

high-jumper Grabarz.The full list of athletes was:

David Bolarinwa, Jack Meredith, Pozzi, Green, Annie Tagoe, Niall Brooks, Laura Weightman, Charlotte Purdue, David Guest, Grabarz, Andrew Sutcliff e, Kola Adedoyin, Holly Bleasdale, Katie Byers, Mervyn Luckwell, Brett Morse, Okoye, Hitchon, Freya Jones, Sophie McKinna and Laura Whittingham.

The RPMF also received the news that it had been chosen by Lady Victoria as her charity of the year and a fund-raising dinner for the initiative will be held at Drapers’ Hall on June 19, 2013.

WORLD marathon record-holder Patrick Makau has dismissed claims he uses a store in Nairobi which claims to have supplied EPO to top athletes.

The shop near to the Hilton Hotel in Nairobi is alleged to have sold EPO to a German journalist posing undercover as an athletics agent.

The reporter singled out Makau as someone who was a client, according to the owner, who also pointed out he bought only supplements.

However, Makau issued a press release the day before taking part in the Frankfurt Marathon on Sunday stating that he had not been on the premises.

The statement read: “The story falsely associates me with a particular retail store and claims that I am a direct customer. This

is not correct. I have never been on the premises. The only thing in that shop that suggests that I have anything to do with the store is an old national newspaper clipping with my photo taped to the wall, together with many other clippings of other athletes’ races.”

Makau, who was formerly based in Britain, added: “For the sake of clarity, the shop located in the Hilton Hotel is, to the best of my knowledge, the only shop in Kenya which imported USN brand nutritional supplements. There have probably been hundreds of athletes that have bought USN products there. The USN product that I have used in the past is Recovery Max. From time-to-time I have asked someone going into Nairobi to buy a Recovery Max for me. Of course, before using USN product for

the fi rst time, my IAAF AR, Mr Zane Branson, wrote to USN to confi rm their products’ safety and compliance with the WADA

List. In addition, an email was also sent to the IAAF medical department asking if they have ever received any warnings and/or complaints about USN products and the answer came back negative, a simple ‘No’.”

After winning in Frankfurt in a time more than two minutes outside his world record of 2:03:38, he said on Sunday: “I am very clean. I get someone from the IAAF every week knocking on my door and testing me so I don’t know where this is coming from.”

Athletics Kenya has meanwhile reacted to claims made on the programme on which the German journalist worked that doping is rife among the country’s top athletes.

AK chief executive Isaiah Kiplagat has denied the claims but ordered an investigation.

Ennis and Farah athletes of year

THERE were few surprises at the 50th British Athletics Writers’ Association Awards as Jessica Ennis, Mo Farah, Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Adam Gemili were the emphatic winners of the senior and junior athletes of the year prizes.

Of all the end-of-season awards, though, the ‘BAWA’ honours are the most prestigious on the British scene simply due to their longevity and the fact votes are cast by specialist athletics experts whose profession is to study every run, jump and throw of note.

Despite the main award winners being fairly predictable names, there was still plenty to entertain the 100-plus guests at the London Marathon-supported event staged in the Tower Hotel. Yamile Aldama won the ‘inspiration’ award, David Weir the inaugural Paralympian prize, Mel Watman received the prestigious Ron Pickering Memorial Award for Services to Athletics, while the writers paid tribute to Fast Track and Charles

van Commenee – both of whom have left the sport this year.

As for Ennis and Farah, this is the third year on the trot that the duo has picked up British athletics’ top prize, and both have now been named athletes of the year four times by the BAWA members.

Ennis’ coach Toni Minichiello was there to accept his athlete’s award on her behalf, while Alan Watkinson, the school teacher who discovered and nurtured the teenaged Farah, collected the men’s award as his former pupil thanked the audience in a message recorded from his training base in the United States.

Farah fi rst won the award in 2006 and dominated voting for the John Rodda Award this year after his thrilling double victory at the Olympics. Greg Rutherford fi nished runner-up to Farah with Robbie Grabarz third.

Farah has now won the men’s award more times than any other athlete, moving ahead of all-time greats Lynn Davies, Sebastian Coe, Linford Christie and Jonathan Edwards who were all triple winners.

Ennis retained the Cliff Temple Award for female athlete of the year which she has held since 2009. Christine Ohuruogu, the BAWA athlete of the year in 2007 and 08, was runner-up, while Aldama was third.

With four BAWA awards to her name, Ennis is now equal with fellow multi-eventer Denise Lewis and one behind Paula Radcliff e, who was athlete of the year fi ve times between 1999 and 2005.

Aldama’s world indoor triple jump win also earned the 40-year-old BAWA’s 2012 Inspiration Award given in recognition of an athlete who made an outstanding

performance in a single event, performed well against the odds, or is retiring after a long and distinguished career.

Aldama was one of the few athletes present at the awards, while another was Gemili, who took the Jim Coote Memorial Award for junior men.

The Lillian Board Memorial Award for junior women was presented to UKA’s Neil Black on behalf of Johnson-Thompson.

To reflect the impact the Paralympics had, the writers introduced a new award for achievement in the Paralympics, with wheelchair racer Weir taking the honour. The decision to award Watman the Pickering award, meanwhile, proved appropriate as the long-time former editor of AW was one of only two BAWA founding members at the 50th awards, the other being Neil Allen.

STEVE PETERS began in athletics at just past the age of 40 and he admits that for him the world of masters track and fi eld has been not much more than a bit of fun. That is despite being quite adept at it. Now 59, he has won world masters titles in the sprints and his recent times would put to shame plenty of senior club athletes. Just fi ve years ago, he was clocking 11.65, 23.08 and 53.01 for the three sprints.

However, he knows that elite sport is a little more serious. So much so that the role psychology plays in sport has become more and more recognised. For many it is no longer enough to train just the body – the mind needs a workout too, such is the fi ne line between winning and losing.

Having primarily been involved in British Cycling during the nation’s recent domination of that sport, Olympic gold medallist Victoria Pendleton described him as “the most important person in my career”.

Chris Hoy has also been

quoted as saying: “Without Steve, I don’t think I could have brought home triple gold from Beijing.”

The range of his Midas touch has not been limited to cycling, though. He has helped world snooker champion Ronnie O’Sullivan with his mental approach, but he has worked in football and rugby, plus 12 Olympic sports, including unnamed individuals in athletics.

Finally, he has logically “come home” to the sport in which he has been involved in a coaching or competitive capacity for 30 years and Peters will scale down his work with British Cycling.

“I wouldn’t say I was coming home [to athletics]. I would say I’m coming into very familiar territory,” he said when talking about his role for the fi rst time last week. “It’s an area I have a lot of background in and it’s an area that I’m familiar with so I really wanted to work with track and fi eld athletes.”

Peters, who is correctly termed as a “psychiatrist” rather than “psychologist”, was quick to point out that he was there to serve, to assist when invited by athletes, rather than calling everyone in turn to his “chair”.

He explained: “I’m one part of the team jigsaw, the main part is the athlete and the coach. The rest of the athletes are there in support of the athlete and the coach. How much they want to tap into my expertise and gain advice and support will be up to them.”

He recognises that some are sceptical of the importance of mental fi tness. “If I went to the general public and said, ‘How many of you would want to work with me as a psychiatrist?’, then you’re bound to get some people who defi nitely want to do that and some people who do not buy in and say, ‘I think I know how to run my own mind and emotions.’ ... I think it’s the same in sport.”

Peters was a familiar sight at the major cycling meetings, but it does not necessarily follow that he will be at all the major athletics championships, he said.

He will be there if required, but he added: “If people are saying we’re fi ne or you can get on to Skype, then fi ne, I’ll stay out of the way because the last thing you want if you feel you’re in a good place is a psychiatrist walking up to you and saying, ‘How do you feel?’”

Much attention will be focused

on how much he might be able to help the British sprint relay teams, whose recent ill fortunes continued for London 2012 as the men were unable to get the baton around in the heat and the women failed to qualify for the event itself as one of the fastest 16 countries in the world.

He agreed it was one area in which he might assist, saying: “If the lads say to me, ‘We can’t get this baton around eff ectively because we don’t have that mental ability or skill,’ then my job is to analyse what’s going on in their minds as the baton goes round and how are they using focus techniques. It isn’t as simplistic as giving them fi ve things like a recipe and saying, ‘That’s how the baton’s going to go,’ because I need to know what each individual is thinking at the time they’re passing the baton and how they work when they’re warming up for the event, for example.”

No matter what your view of psychology in sport, a reputation like Peters’ has not come without results. If this success can be transferred into his latest challenge, this veteran sprinter could be mastering the future of British athletics.

Join the club

PETER KING, the new chairman of England Athletics, and his chief executive Chris Jones relax into their seats for a Sunday morning breakfast interview with AW at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Birmingham. It has been an eventful 24 hours. First, their AGM was politely hi-jacked by disgruntled club offi cials keen to air their displeasure at the governing body’s decision to hike up affi liation fees. Later, they were among almost 400 guests at the annual hall of fame and volunteer awards.

I expect them to look shell-shocked, weary and bleary-eyed. Instead, despite being lambasted by the grassroots gate-crashers the previous afternoon, they appear almost inspired by the experience. “If only this many passionate people attended every AGM,” says Jones.

The AGM was chaired by outgoing chair John Graves, while King, who was enjoying his fi rst proper day in the job, says: “It was controlled, logical, reasonable. People were not becoming acrimonious. They were putting their points of view across strongly and we were listening.”

In last week’s AW, a number of clubs signed an open letter to EA complaining about the recent

rise in affi liation fees and urging clubs to state their displeasure at the AGM. It was signed by big guns such as Blackheath & Bromley, Shaftesbury Barnet and Enfi eld & Haringey and since last week about 20 more clubs have backed it.

Among those opposing EA’s plans were some well-respected ex-athletes, too, such as marathon legends Eamonn Martin and Bill Adcocks. Former London Marathon winner Martin threw his support behind the letter on behalf of Basildon AC, while Adcocks, the secretary of Coventry Godiva, wrote directly to Jones to say: “I despair. There has been much spoken through this year of legacy and this is not a good start.”

At least the heated discussions at the AGM helped clear the air somewhat. Jones says he took the chance to off er a transparent and detailed explanation of EA’s fi nances. Here, he made the point that 92% of the governing body’s money comes from government grants and just 8%

from affi liation fees. “It’s not stable footing for a governing body trying to get anything done,” he explains.

Jones continues: “Most people accepted there needs to be a change in terms of the price (£5). It’s been cheap for a long time. Scotland and Wales have already been through this process. England has been heavily dependent on other funders and we need to break the back of that at some stage and there’s never a good time for it.”

King is rather more bullish, saying: “Since the meeting, no one has come up to me to support the line that was being pursued in the meeting but several people have come up to say we should press ahead with what we planned.”

What exactly was ‘the line pursued’? “The consensus in the room was that they didn’t want us to go ahead with the plan as it stands,” he explains.

Were alternative ideas mentioned? “They didn’t really propose anything

instead,” King replies.Given this, it’s full steam

ahead with plans to impose the affi liation fees. EA do accept, however, that they need to liaise with the clubs closely to work out how best to implement the plans.

“I don’t think there were too many disgruntled at the end of the meeting,” says King. “We agreed to go away and re-think how we will impose it and see if there’s any variation. And we’ll consult more with people so that all the people in the room will feel they’ve been consulted in future. And we’ll review the options.”

King talks bluntly, but there is an element of having seen this all before. As chief executive of British Cycling from 1997-2008, he oversaw the introduction of affi liation fees in that sport. Not surprisingly, there was widespread opposition in the beginning, too, but he has seen the number of affi liated cyclists rise massively and today he reckons many riders jump at the chance to become paid-up members.

when Dave Moorcroft had the same position at UKA and I know he was always frustrated that the sport didn’t have a membership scheme as there was no means of communicating with people,” says King. “And there’s nothing worse than not being able to communicate with people in your sport.

“In recent years cycling has been on such a roll and so many want to get connected to it. The sport has 60,000 members whereas it had 13,000 when I joined in 1997 and lots are joining at very basic level as they want to be part of the family and sport of cycling.”

King adds: “We need people in athletics now to be part of our club. Fifteen years ago cyclists had to join British cycling in order to race, but now they want to.”

King says he’s loathe to keep comparing cycling to athletics, but he cannot help pointing out that British Cycling’s gold membership, which includes insurance, is £66/year. Riders then need a racing licence

costing £34, so they’re paying £100/year. “At the bottom end,” he adds, “there is bronze membership costing £15 with no insurance but it includes ‘connectivity’ and lots of people sign up to this simply to be part of the club.”

Jones chips in to suggest that sports like gymnastics and netball have much higher fees than athletics. These supposedly minority sports have also managed to control their system more rigorously. “If you don’t have a (membership) number in netball, you don’t compete,” says Jones, who adds: “There is all sorts of work going on behind scenes to make sure this is absolutely watertight in future in athletics.”

Before anyone thinks English athletics is now chaired by a cycling nut with no athletics background, think again, because King was a county level middle-distance runner during his younger days in Surrey. Inspired by athletes like Herb Elliott, Gordon Pirie and Chris

Chataway, King even raced on the White City cinders, but his competitive running was cut short due to shin splints and he took up cycling in his 20s, racing in several national fi nals. “I feel I’m coming home,” he says.

The affi liation debate aside, the most interesting revelation to emerge from AW’s fi rst proper interview with EA’s new chairman is his surprisingly optimistic view of the health of athletics. Some say the sport – especially track and fi eld – is struggling, but King takes an entirely positive view.

“For me, I was always part of the fastest growing sport in the country at British Cycling, so there weren’t too many other places I might have wanted to go!” he says. “But athletics has always been somewhere I wanted to go.

“Along with swimming it is the biggest sport in the Olympics. There are almost 50 gold medals in athletics and only 18 in cycling, so it is the big Olympic sport. Coming from outside, it can also possibly be seen as

growing faster than cycling. “I also believe athletics has

more potential than any other sport because it’s infi nitely accessible. Most sports that we win medals in at the Olympics are generally pretty inaccessible to most people. In athletics you get hold of a pair of trainers and off you go. That’s all you need to start with.”

To fulfi l this potential, though, King says it’s vital to smooth out debates relating to thorny issues like affi liation and create a much better structure from clubs through to regional councils and ultimately the EA board.

“We have to get this pyramid right,” he explains. “We have to take seriously the democratic structure that is there. We have the clubs – which are the most important thing we have in this sport – then the regional councils and the national council and we should use that pyramid, so that we know (he pauses to grin) in our ‘ivory tower’ what’s going on down there.”» Comment, page 4

“ARDDERCHOG!” Not a word that often graces the pages of AW but

go down to West Wales this week and that’s how they will be describing the victories of Caryl Jones and Dewi Griffi ths.

This proud pair of Welsh athletes did indeed look “brilliant” as they claimed their fi rst McCain victories in the opening race of the 2012-13 Cross Challenge Series, with Jones dominating the women’s race and Griffi ths powering to victory in the men’s after a tough duel with 2011 champion Frank Tickner and Binian Ande of Birchfi eld Harriers.

That’s not all they have in common either. The pair are both members of Swansea Harriers, started their careers at Carmarthen Harriers and can claim Welsh as their fi rst language – and on the evidence of Sunday will be among the leading contenders to make the Great Britain team for the

European Championships in Budapest next month.

“It will depend on what happens on the day at the trials, but that is what everything is geared towards before Christmas,” said Jones.

“Today I was a bit wary about whether I could take my form from the road on to the country, but I quickly found myself in the lead and because I felt comfortable I just kept going at that pace.

“Then I just concentrated on staying there and making sure I didn’t let them get too close to me.”

At one stage Jones was half a minute clear of the chasing pack

and, while that gap narrowed on the fi nal lap as Hannah Brooks came through strongly for second, Jones was never in any danger of being caught.

“I enjoyed the race and now I have to make sure I stay clear of injuries and keep my form going,” added Jones, who in the past two months has run personal bests over 10km (32:28) and the half-marathon (71:18) in addition to fi nishing 10th in the World Half-marathon Championships.

Brooks was delighted to come through strongly and claim second ahead of Birchfi eld’s Sara Treacy, who was third. Gemma Kersey, who is coached by Eamonn Martin at Basildon AC, was fourth.

“My plan was to stick in the

leading group and fi nish strongly and that was a good confi dence boost for me today,” said Brooks.

Griffi ths was never going to dominate the men’s race in the same fashion with quality athletes like Tickner in the fi eld, but it is a measure of his improvement over the past 12 months that he made the leap from third to fi rst on the Bristol podium.

But he had to work hard as Ande was on his shoulder with half a mile remaining as the rain began to fall but then suddenly the Birchfi eld man was adrift and trailing not just Griffi ths but also Tickner.

“I was not expecting that at all

when I got up this morning!” said Griffi ths.

“I have been training well, but it hasn’t been happening for me in races, but today I felt strong and that is my biggest cross-country win since I won the under-15 boys’ race at the Inter-Counties Championships.

He added: “That win is a big boost for me and I’m looking forward to Liverpool, although I have never run well there.”

Not yet at any rate, but on his day Griffi ths will be in the mix.

Ande regained his composure

to snatch second on the line from Tickner, who looked less than delighted with his performance, though expect him to move up a gear by Liverpool.

The sizeable contingent from Wales had already warmed their vocal chords on a damp day by cheering Jac Hopkins, another member of Swansea, to an unexpected excellent win against English National champion and British and English Schools 1500m champion Matthew Shirling in the under-17 men’s race.

“I am over the moon and words cannot describe how happy I am,” said Hopkins.

“It was a very hard race and this is such a big win for me. I have been waiting a long time for this.”

When Shirling reached halfway with a small lead, it looked like he was heading for victory but Hopkins and his Swansea clubmate Jonathan Tobin worked hard to close the gap before the former eased clear in the closing stages.

“I wasn’t feeling 100 per cent but no excuses – I was beaten

RESULTS

on the day,” said Shirling. “I am disappointed, but it is still early in the season.”

As for the under-20 men’s race it appears that Jack Gray of the BRAT club will end 2012 better than he started it having been forced to undergo an operation in February to solve a problem in his stomach that was seriously undermining his athletics ambitions.

Gray had to work very hard to shake off Reading AC’s reigning Inter-Counties champion Jonathan Davies and should take great heart from his victory.

There is always a sense of expectation when watching Jessica Judd as the 2012 world junior 800m silver medallist is such an exciting talent. The 17-year-old is pretty impressive on the country, too, so most spectators were expecting her to win the combined under-20/17 women’s race.

Clearly no one told that to the Clay sisters, making a rare appearance in the same race, as they took up the challenge and in a terrifi c contest it was younger sister Bobby, who swept all before her last winter, who claimed overall victory.

“I normally start off quickly, but this time I sat back on the

group and watched the other girls,” said Clay. “There were six of us in the leading group and no one was an obvious winner.

“I made a big eff ort up the last hill to get clear and it was very hard, but I am so pleased to win.”

Fully aware of Judd’s fi nishing speed, Clay kicked in really hard up that fi nal climb to ensure she had a big enough gap before entering the long downhill fi nish.

Judd fi nished six seconds adrift, just in front of Alex Clay and was magnanimous in defeat.

“Obviously I am disappointed because I came here to win, but I gave it my all and Bobby ran really well,” said Judd.

“But I have only been working

with my new coach Rob Denmark for six weeks and I know I need to improve my endurance and that is something we are working on.

“I got a lot out of this race and this was much better for me than to win easy.”

As far as easy wins go, Harriet Knowles-Jones enjoyed the most emphatic one as she fi nished 36 seconds clear of Niamh Brown in the under-15 girls’ race.

“I didn’t expect to win today. I was thinking top fi ve would be good,” said Knowles-Jones, the reigning Northern champion.

“That was a great result for me and I am hoping to do all the McCain races now.”

It was back-to-back victories for Warrington AC as Daniel Evans had just won the under-15 boys’ race.

“That is my fi rst McCain victory and probably my best cross-country win so far,” said Evans, who was third in both the English Schools and Northern Championships last winter.

Newcomer Katy-Ann McDonald, coached by her uncle Phil Kissi at Herne Hill Harriers, won the under-13 girls’ race and Reading AC’s Matthew Rawlings claimed the under-13 boys’ title.

In the opening races for under-11 athletes, there were victories for Team Bath AC’s Roy Howorth and Mendip AC’s Elena Sidman.

JO PAVEY repeated her 2006 victory on the streets of Portsmouth and Southsea

with a piece of determined front running that left the rest of an elite women’s fi eld struggling to maintain contact right from the starting gun, fi red by double Olympic champion Kelly Holmes.

“It’s nice to be back,” said Pavey after her victory in 53:01.

Men’s winner Stephen Mokoka repeated the bizarre tactics he employed when being narrowly beaten by Mo Farah three years ago, as Andrew Lemoncello maintained contact with the leading group for eight miles before conceding.

In an elite women’s fi eld that boasted three British 2012 Olympians and former world 10,000m and half-marathon champion Berhane Adere, Pavey hit the front right from the start and was never headed. The 39-

year-old soon opened a near ten-metre gap but was then closed down by Italy’s Nadia Ejjafi ni, before passing the mile post as the watch showed 5:18.

Not looking back, Pavey pressed on with mile splits of 5:21 – through the historic dockyard

past HMS Victory, where the lead was now 30 metres – and 5:12. At the sharp turn just before the three-mile board, Pavey then did look back and saw the gap to the chasing group of nine was now about 80 metres.

Spain’s Alessandra Aguilar was prominent along with Adere, Julia Bleasdale, Jess Coulson and Gemma Steel. American Annie Bersagel and Emma Pallant were also along for the ride. Missing from the chasers was Claire Hallissey who was in the following group.

Pavey reached 5km in 16:26, as the group behind looked as if it might split. It did by fi ve miles as Aguilar led the chase. Pavey was timed at 26:13 there, after a sub fi ve-minute mile, as the group was now nearly half a minute down.

Passing the crowds gathered near the fi nish, Pavey went through 10km in 32:47, as the lead over the chasing group had now stretched to 39 seconds.

Thereafter on the long run out to the eight-mile marker and the turn for home for the two-mile fi nal stretch into the wind, the lead stayed more or less the same.

Pavey then put in a couple of slow-ish splits of 5:25 and 5:30 to win in 53:01. Behind, the group eventually split, with Steel seemingly struggling to stay in touch at seven miles but rallying. Then it was Coulson who burst out of the pack in the last mile to snatch second in 53:43, as Adere and Ejjafi ni were given the same 53:55 behind.

A pleased Pavey, who is in training for the Yokohama Marathon in November, said: “I think I just put a pace in my mind. Then I like to see how I feel and I didn’t really look round.”

She had taken a peek, though, at three miles and must have been surprised that the relatively steady early pace had still seen her break away.

When she had seen that her 5:12 third mile had seen the gap widen she must have been aware that the race was all but won. “I thought I would just keep plugging away. It was a nice preparation for Yokohama,” she added.

Talking about the wind against the runners in the two mile long home straight Pavey then said: “The end part is always really tough, I tried to pick it up but you lose time.”

Coulson, who was outside her personal best set in the Cabbage Patch 10 last year, nevertheless said: “I felt good the whole way. I knew the wind was there but went to the front (of the chasers) at eight to nine miles.”

All Adere would say was that it was “very cold.” Meanwhile, Steel said: “I was quite determined and worked a bit to try to close the gap.” She took third in the English championships behind Pavey and Coulson.

Mokoka, just as he had done here three years ago, was as erratic as ever but eventually prevailed with his sheer fi nishing

speed in 46:40 as he sprinted clear of a pack of half-a-dozen over the last two miles against the wind.

A 4:32 opening mile had seen a much larger pack together with Olympic marathon silver medallist Abel Kirui and runner-up here last year leading. By this time Mokoka had already had a couple of sprints to the front before falling back and he was at it again after Kirui had led coming out of the dockyard.

The three-mile point had come at 13:49 with Kirui again ahead. 5km for the leaders was timed at 14:16 but by four miles the group was down to six. With Mokoka and Kirui were double European Cross silver medallist Ayad Lamdassem, Olympic 10,000m bronze medallist Tariku Bekele, European silver medallist Daniele Meucci and Andrew Lemoncello. Trailing and beginning a long lonely run was Jonny Mellor.

Mokoka kept up his near fartlek training tactics with

bursts at 23 minutes and 29:20, after the six leaders had gone through 10km in 28:55, but Lemoncello was seemingly fi nding it hard to stay with the group. After the seven-mile

board, Kirui made a couple of breaks to try to get away but they all came together again.

The Kenyan’s last eff ort, just before the eight-mile point, was to be his last as Mokoka then made his bid for victory. Turning into the wind on the long Southsea promenade, the South African seemed to get tired of the others taking shelter behind him and he swung violently out to the left hand side of the road.

The confusion did not last long, but it did see Lemoncello and Kirui drop off the back.

Bekele then made a dash for home but it was not to last as Mokoka turned into the last 300 yards then scotched his way past and home for victory in 46:40. Lamdassem also squeezed past Bekele as Meucci took fourth.

Winner Mokoka said: “I came with the possibility of winning and I made a break at eight miles but it was very, very windy. In 2009 I was outsprinted by Mo by a few metres and was disappointed. When I started the race my knees were freezing until between three and four miles.”

Second-placed Lamdassem was happy with his run and added: “He beat me in the last 200.” Lemoncello ‘won’ his battle with Kirui in a personal best 47:08, while Mellor led in the rest in 47:35 to claim the English 10-mile title. Pat Martin and Luke Cragg were also inside 49 minutes to claim the English championships silver and bronze.

Lemoncello, looking lean and fi nely honed on his now 140 miles a week, said: “I felt great the whole way, but I was annoyed I didn’t go with the group in the last two miles. I should have gone with them. I didn’t come down too much for this as I’m doing the Sacramento Marathon in fi ve weeks’ time.”

Mellor said: “The leaders got away and I was on my own the whole way.”

ATHLETICS WEEKLY 27

RARELY before in history has a time of 2:06:08 looked “poor”, even if just

over 14 years ago it would have been a world best.

However, that is a measure of how frequently times below 2:06 are being run these days, as well as of the expectation on Patrick Makau after his world record of 2:03:38 in Berlin last year.

In the end, the Kenyan race favourite won comfortably, by 44 seconds, although his win had looked in some doubt earlier on.

On the women’s side, Meselech Melkamu made a promising marathon debut, setting a course record of 2:21:01.

That was the third-fastest debut ever by a woman, behind Paula Radcliff e (2:18:56) and Lucy Kabuu (2:19:34). However, as the No.2 in history at 10,000m with 29:53.80, quicker will be expected of her in future.

Makau had said beforehand he was looking to break his world mark on a course that is fast and flat, if slightly twisty on occasion –

it was here that Wilson Kipsang ran 2:03:42 last year – and in a race that is fast-gaining a reputation to challenge the likes of Berlin in appeal as a potential record venue for the elite.

The possible spoke in the wheel would be the cold temperatures, though. The thermometer was barely above freezing at the start and rose to perhaps 6C and Kenyans don’t normally like the cold.

Makau dropped off the pace of the leading group a few times and at the break just before 35km, he let himself drop 50 metres behind Ethiopia’s Deressa Chimsa, who ran 2:05:42 in Dubai this year.

He took the lead at 39km and had plenty of time to raise his arm in celebration as he crossed the line on the famous red carpet in the Festhalle, representing one of the most impressive fi nishing scenes to a marathon in the world.

Behind Chimsa in second (2:06:52) and Kenya’s Gilbert Kirwa in third (2:07:35), Kilbarchan’s Derek Hawkins made an impressive debut of 2:14:04, speeding up to cover the second half in 66:31 and place 18th.

The 23-year-old, who was

90th in the IAAF World Cross Country Championships last year, set a half-marathon PB of 64:07 at the Bupa Great North Run in September.

Makau, who ran very evenly paced throughout the whole race, said he abandoned hopes of a world record for fear of straining a muscle in the cold weather.

“For me it was the hardest race,” he said. “It was very cold. My muscles were contracted due to the cold conditions so I didn’t trust my body and didn’t want to accelerate.

“I’m not worried about not breaking my world record, but I am very happy to win such a great race as Frankfurt.”

Melkamu broke clear of the leading group at 37km and

went on to take a chunk off the course record set at 2:21:59 last year by Ethiopia’s Mamitu Daska, who was third, well behind Kenya’s Georgina Rono.

The 27-year-old winner, who won world 10,000m silver in 2009, appears to have made a permanent step up in distance.

“When I didn’t make the (10,000m) qualifying time for the Olympics because of injury, I decided it would be better to move to the marathon,” she said.

“I only trained for three months and the result was good and I think it would be better to stay with the marathon to try to run a fast time.

“I need to go back home and work hard and next time run under 2:18.”

» A low price to payI AM concerned the arguments relating to the increase in the England Athletics fee have been very one-sided. Some of the logic is questionable.

It is said EA is undemocratic, members having no say. But at county level, clubs are entitled to a voice via both the individual general committee and in Networks (funded by EA through the fee). EA also holds meetings with county representatives to explore how to improve communications with this level.

Nine regional councils are elected by the clubs to represent them. An inability by some to seek election may be the issue. Democracy does exist at this level, with the regional chairs constituting the National Council.

In a democracy, you elect a parliamentarian, who in turn votes for a leader (the Prime Minister). They in turn select someone to take day to day responsibility (ministers/cabinet). Paid staff carry out their decisions (civil servants). How does English athletics diff er?

The affi liation fee of £20 equals 38p per week. You would be delighted if energy bills rose only £5 to £15 in a year. Or if the rise on petrol was only £20 across the year we would not bat an eyelid.

For your £20 you get insurance coverage for all, a coaching structure for all through the national or local coach development program, Athletics Networks, opportunities for international competition and now opportunities for counties to develop their showpiece county championships etc.

You must pay for what you get. Sport England will not accept a sport unwilling to support itself. The 8% contributed by the

members to the funding of the sport is unsustainable.

In Australia, members paid a much higher fee for decades. The club secretary takes responsibility for registering the club’s members and issuing their annual competition number received from the governing body.

I am bemused by those who speak of starting a rival body or ‘hitch their wagon’ to one of the existing rivals. Think carefully of the repercussions. Why disenfranchise your members from championships at all levels?

Who am I to comment? I am part of the sport.Mark Wall, Northampton

» Start from scratchI HAD also been confused by the application of chip and gun times in road races. Now if I understand correctly from Ken Kaiser’s letter (AW, Oct 25) you can run a quicker time but still fi nish behind slower runners and perhaps out of the medals in a championship where it is integrated with the overall event.

I shall now feel less embarrassed placing my ageing frame at the front of future events.Peter Hamilton, London

» Anti-EA feesBILLERICAY Striders Running Club is in total agreement with the content of Tim Soutar’s letter in last week’s AW complaining about England Athletics’ decision to raise affi liation fees.

We, the grassroots athletes and offi cials, are the ones who have and who will keep this sport going – despite the fact that we felt completely ignored in the allocation of Olympic tickets – and now EA are trying to fleece us to

keep their show on the road. Have EA and UKA completely

» Jury’s out on new performance bosses

ATHLETICS WEEKLY28

GOOD luck to UKA’s new performance director Neil Black and head coach Peter Eriksson. The governing body obviously wants to reward those who have done a great job in recent years – and this is fair enough – but time will tell if they are going to be genuinely successful in these new roles.

Black is a fantastic sports injury expert – among the best in the world – but will he be suited to ‘directing the performance’ of Britain’s elite athletes in totality? Similarly, Eriksson has a terrifi c CV when it comes to getting

disability athletes on the Paralympic podium, but I can’t see much evidence of working with able-bodied athletes.

In some regards, they seem safe choices by UKA as they have been promoted from within and can continue the current strategy. But time will tell if they are going to be a true success.

Can you imagine Manchester United letting their chief physio take over from Alex Ferguson? To me, it looks like something of a gamble. I wish them the best.Patrick Gibson, via email

Young athlete

WHEN 14-year-old Kevin Metzger found out he had a stress fracture

a few weeks before the start of the outdoor season, his aim was simply to be able to compete again in 2012. However, after returning to training in June, this target was quickly revised. The triple jumper ended the season as the top under-15 in the UK with his PB of 13.59m, set when collecting his fi rst national title at the England Athletics under-15 championships in Bedford.

Having set a CBP at the Northern Championships with a leap of 13.39m three weeks prior to the nationals, Kevin could see that his form was improving at the right time. However, the Sale Harrier points out that this feat did not make his task any easier. “It was daunting facing all the best jumpers in the country. My fi rst jump was 13.02m, which put the others under a bit of pressure,“ he recalls.

This victory was particularly special as the teenager had not been at full fi tness for the English Schools and fi nished fourth, due to the fact that he had only resumed training about three weeks prior. Having developed glute pain late last season, Kevin was eventually diagnosed with a fracture to the right ischial tuberosity, resulting in three months without any exercise. But the upbeat youngster reflects: “This

title certainly made up for the English Schools disappointment. I didn’t expect to achieve anything close to this this season, especially having been injured. My coach thought that if I worked hard I might be able to jump 13m.”

Not only did Kevin far exceed this, but he was also pleased to be able to put a few things straight with his fellow competitors. Off the radar early in the season and not at his best at the English Schools, several of his rivals thought that his marked improvement to jump 13.39m at the Northerns might be a mistake.

He explains: “At the England Championships several opponents found it diffi cult to believe I could have improved by over one metre in a few weeks. I was really relieved to be able to jump even further that day. To be fair to them, they all congratulated me afterwards.”

Kevin credits his coach and training group for much of his rapid improvement. Coached by Keith Hunter, Kevin trains with Amy Williams, who tops the UK under-15 long jump ranking list, and UK under-20 triple jump leader Ahtollah Rose, as well as numerous other jumpers who are ranked highly in their respective age group. Much of his training is also undertaken with Hunter’s

group of sprinters, which includes, among others, 2011 European Youth Olympic 400m champion Clovis Asong. He says: “I enjoy training with Keith at Sportcity, as there are a number of high-profi le athletes and we all push each other. My favourite training is run-up and jumping sessions in the lead up to competitions, but I also see the importance of all of the plyometrics that we do.”

Hunter is full of praise for his young charge. “Kevin is very easy to coach and grasps new skills easily. He is very bright and asks a lot of questions, but is always willing to have a go. As his coach, I said to his parents last year, ‘I don’t think you understand how good Kevin’s going to be’. I am not sure they believed me but I could quite clearly see snippets of his talent.”

With a smart head on his young shoulders, Kevin is aware that moving up to the under-17age group he will face more competition, but he is ready for the challenge. He wants to participate in all of the major championships and fi nish the season ranked in the top fi ve in the age group. Long-term, Kevin would like to represent his country.

He jokes: “My mum tells me I need to learn all of the words to

the national anthem, as if I ever won and was on TV she would not want me to be a disgrace!”

A talented all-rounder, Kevin was given a four-year professional football contract with Rochdale AFC when he was 12 and he enjoys playing for his school and the club as a striker. He feels the two sports complement each other and the need to get fi t for football actually led to him starting athletics in the fi rst place.

He explains: “In the summer months, I used to get quite unfi t, so my parents suggested I try athletics to try and keep my fi tness up for football.”

He started with long jump aged 11, but the experienced Hunter was reluctant to let the talented athlete try the triple jump before this year, due to the strains it puts on a young growing body.

Boasting a PB of 6.11m, Kevin fi nished ninth under-15 in the UK in the long jump, but that is now very much secondary to his main event.

Spotlight

ONE moment summed up the essence of the 2012 England Athletics Hall of Fame and Volunteer Awards. It happened when Margaret Paish told a story about her

late husband, Wilf, that captured both the rich history of the sport and the positive impact of its coaching fraternity.

Such was Wilf’s reputation as a world-class coach of elite and grassroots athletes, a couple of nine-year-old boys once bravely knocked on his door to ask if he’d coach them. Margaret remembers her husband invited them in, quizzed them about their sporting background, advised them to do every activity their school off ered, then packed them off with a souvenir T-shirt and asked them to come back when they were 14.

This touching story was followed swiftly by some words from Tessa Sanderson, the javelin thrower Paish guided to the 1984 Olympic title. She described him as being like a father fi gure and perhaps the greatest fi eld events coach England had ever produced.

The duo had taken to the stage to be part of the great coach’s induction into the growing English hall of fame. Paish was not the only big name of the night to be inducted.

Sanderson was also inducted, along with javelin rival Fatima Whitbread, while Dave Moorcroft also proved a popular addition to the hall of fame and the replay of his world 5000m record received one of the biggest claps of the night.

The full list of 2012 Hall of Fame inductees is: » F.A.M. WebsterBest known as Captain Webster, he has been called the father of British athletics coaching and helped found and direct the AAA summer school at Loughborough from 1934 onwards.

» Don FinlayThe sprint hurdler won two Olympic medals, enjoyed victories in the European Championships and Empire Games, and had an almost perfect international match record before his career was interrupted by World War II.

» David MoorcroftCommonwealth champion at 1500m and 5000m, he is best known for his world 5000m record of 13:00.41 in 1982 when he took six seconds off the previous mark. He went on to act as UKA chief executive.

» Sir Chris ChatawayDespite Roger Bannister’s historic sub-four-minute mile, in which he was a pacemaker, it was Chataway who was voted the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year in 1954 – thanks to winning an epic televised 5000m against Vladimir Kuts at the White City. He was also a world record-breaker and Commonwealth champion at 3 miles.

» Tessa SandersonWith a fi rst-round throw of 69.56m at the 1984 Olympics, she became the fi rst Briton to win an Olympic throws title. She has since continued to work in the sport being, among other things, vice-chair at Sport England.

» Fred HousdenAn international athlete at sprint hurdles, long jump and pole vault, Housden is best known for coaching David Hemery and bringing an innovative mathematical analysis to coaching.

Cross-country leagues Spotlight

105 years and counting

NOW in its 105th year, the earliest records of minutes of this league date back to September 1908 when it was known as the Northumberland

and Durham Paperchase League.The fi rst meeting was attended by 14 clubs

with only senior men over the age of 21. The unique handicapping system (then two packs) was introduced in 1911 with the number of races per season reduced from eight to six. Three years later the First World War caused the meetings to be cancelled for the duration.

In 1920, the now three-pack system was introduced, but only for a fi eld of over 100 runners. A junior race for ages 16-20 was later added to the programme, but there was a maximum of three events per season.

The league was again postponed during World War II and in 1948 the words “Paper Chase” were dropped from the title, and it became known as the Northumberland and Durham Harrier League. A cup was donated by Shermans Pools and a scratch race was introduced to fi nd the strongest overall team in the three categories, with youth races now being added to the programme. The number of counters was now to be six for senior and four for the younger age-groups. Boys races were added in 1949 but only on an unoffi cial basis.

In the early 1950s there was a large drop due to many athletes doing National Service. It is likely the “junior” races disappeared completely at that time.

In 1958 unoffi cial women’s races were added to the programme, but there is no record of how these events developed and around that time a new women’s cross-country league was established.

Although the numbers grew in the early 1960s, they dwindled in the latter part of the decade with many clubs not closing in full teams. There was an increase in participation in the youngest age groups however and a colts division was introduced in the 1969-70 season.

One successful colt in the early years was a certain Steve Cram, who eventually made his mark in all the age-groups (colts are now classed as U13, boys are U15, youths are U17, although a gradual change of age-groups showed them to be a school

year older than they are now).In 1976 the name was changed to the

North Eastern Harrier League, and in the early 1980s the number of seniors increased dramatically with the advent of the mass participation events, such as the Bupa Great North Run. At this time the secretary was John Keefe of Jarrow & Hebburn AC, who sat in that position for over 25 years, which is almost certainly a record.

Durham Pine Furniture began to sponsor the League in 1991, with the overall individual senior winner taking home a bed. Stewart Bell, then of Chester Le Street, won this so many times the prize was changed to vouchers.

Computer results through the secretary George Ogle were introduced in 1991-1992, and a year later the league was divided into three divisions for seniors, which was an instant success, nearly doubling the fi elds at some fi xtures.

Over the past 20 years Sunderland Harriers have won the senior men’s competition the most times, although South Shields Harriers, Wallsend Harriers, Heaton Harriers and Gateshead Harriers (current champions), have been successful more recently (Sunderland and Wallsend are the only two clubs to retain division one status, since the inauguration).

The above clubs along with Morpeth Harriers (runners-up for the last two seasons), look to be the main challengers again this winter, although the strongest overall team could be the recently formed Tyne Bridge Harriers, who won the division three title last year and will be favourites to win division two this season. The Sherman Cup has been predominately won by

Gateshead Harriers, Sunderland Harriers and Morpeth Harriers, who won this season’s competition, in late September.

The women’s league was merged with the men in 1996, with four age-groups competing, though they all remained scratch events at that time. While the junior (or U20) men ran with the seniors, the junior women competed with the U17 age-group.

A similar competition to the Sherman Cup was introduced for women in 2002, with the Davision Shield being presented to the league by retiring Secretary Ron Davison and his wife Pam, who were moving to Scotland. Morpeth Harriers have won this competition nine times, with Gateshead Harriers breaking their run of victories in 2003.

The pack system was eventually introduced for women in 2003, and the numbers increased. Start Fitness also took over the sponsorship of the league.

The fi nal meeting of the 2008/2009 season at Temple Park, South Shields, saw the league celebrate its centenary with the sponsors awarding a special memento to each senior competitor. Over the decade the number of women competing had also risen sometimes threefold, and a third pack was introduced in 2010 and a second division in 2011.

The most successful senior clubs in recent times have been Elvet Striders, Heaton Harriers and current champions Tynedale Harriers. The league also saw record fi elds of 425 (senior men) and 179 (women) in the fi rst fi xture of the 2012-13 season at East Cramlington Nature Reserve last weekend.

PERIODISATION is the division of a training year into a cycle of several phases, each phase devoted to diff erent training methods and

objectives. Periodised training allows runners to emphasise a specifi c type of training during a phase within a year-long training programme. Other types of training are not neglected during each training phase – they simply have less emphasis.

Conditioning phase or base periodWithin the scope of the traditional track and fi eld year, the conditioning or base period is basically the summer months for cross country and the winter months for track. It is important for the coach to understand that during the initial development of the base period the athlete will most likely be sore for a minimum of three weeks.

Training should begin easy and should be followed by gradual increases in the time or distance run during training sessions. All physiological gains are made during periods of recovery and therefore it is important to build recovery or rest into this phase as well as every other. In this training phase in particular, planned recovery is extremely important since, although the intensity of single workouts may not be as great as it is in other phases, the volume of work and the accumulative eff ect of that volume may otherwise take its toll, perhaps later in the competitive season.

All the basic principles of training come into eff ect during the base phase. Most signifi cant are the overload principle, the law of accumulation and the principle of specifi city. An excellent guideline to follow in this phase is the “10 per cent rule”, meaning that after the initial three weeks of training, volume (miles or minutes run) should not increase much greater than 10 per cent from one week to the next week.

In the base period, all facets of the training

programme are introduced. A week of training most likely would include days of steady-state (long run), pace runs, tempo workout, recovery and a complete or active rest day.

A steady-state day should be a continuous run accounting for up to 20-25 per cent of the total weekly mileage or time run. The pace day should include running at race pace or faster for segments of between two and six minutes.

A tempo workout could very easily be referred to as the oxymoron of workouts because tempo pace is best described as “comfortably hard”.

A good guideline for the pace to be run during these tempo runs is about one minute slower than 5km race pace. For example, if a female runner can run 19:30 in her race (6:30 per mile), her tempo workout pace would be approximately 6:50 to 7:00 per mile. The tempo portion of the run should be 10-20 minutes for most runners, but those more experienced and fi tter will be able to run for a longer duration.

Recovery days are best described as easier runs done at a decent, yet comfortable pace. A good guideline for the pace to be run during recovery work is two to three minutes slower than 5km race pace. For our example runner, this would be approximately 7:30 to 7:45 per mile depending on the distance of the run. Be wary that recovery runs are not simply slow jogs at 10 minutes per mile or slower. Even if athletes are doing a recovery workout, they can still make gains in cardiovascular fi tness if the run is not done “too slow”.

Recovery runs are usually placed in the overall training schedule immediately following hard training days, which follows the hard-easy principle fi rst established by Bill Bowerman at the University of Oregon. This

principle allows time for the body to recover and it is not uncommon to plan for two easy recovery days in a row if the coach observes that their charges are not suffi ciently recovered from the previous hard workout.

The most important part of this conditioning phase of training is to work on the weaknesses of the athlete. The primary weakness for most at this time is usually their cardiovascular fi tness and the primary goal of the period is to get the athletes into better shape.

Pre-competition phaseAfter creating the base, the athlete’s training should transfer into the pre-competition phase. While this phase may include some early-season competitions, the purpose of this phase is to physically and mentally prepare the body for racing on the track. In this phase, aerobic capacity should continue to be enhanced. Weekly running time or distance should continue to be increased as the quantity and quality of pace segments and the length of the steady-state run should also be increased. However, it is important to note that one should not increase intensity and duration on the same day. On one week there can be an increase in the intensity of the workout and the following week the distance of the segments

run or the total workout can be increased.Race simulation and race tactics should

be introduced into workouts in this phase. Examples of this type of training would be running segments of 100m, 200m, 300m or 400m at race pace daily so the muscles are educated as to race pace. Surging runs, race starts, race fi nishes, eff ective running mechanics and proper pre-race workouts are all important aspects to add to the athlete’s racing repertoire at this time.

Race-pace workouts can use three speeds: date pace, goal pace and dream pace. Date pace is the actual pace the athlete is running in races at the present time. If a runner is currently running a mile in 4:44, then his date pace is around 71 seconds for 400 metres. Goal pace is the realistic target for mid to late-season race

times. The same runner may have a target of 4:28 by mid-to-late season and, therefore, the goal pace will change to 67 seconds. Dream pace however, is the ultimate goal of the athlete for the season. Our runner may have aspirations to run under 4:20 and the pace would then be under 65 seconds.

Both the coach and the athlete need to have input in determining the goal pace and the dream pace. While it is wise to be a tad conservative on these predictions, the enthusiasm of the athlete who is willing to do the work should never be stifled. As the athlete becomes fi tter, it is important for the coach to encourage negative-split runs. This simply means running the second half of a run faster than the fi rst half. The purpose of this training is, while many runners can perform extremely well early in races, few athletes can maintain the same cadence during the middle or later segments of a race. Negative splits teach the athlete’s body to run faster and more effi ciently when the body is fatigued. Another way to enhance the ability to run fast when tired is to do race pace or faster strides at the conclusion of a run.

Competition phaseWhen an athlete moves into the competition phase, competitive success is emphasised. The length of individual workouts and the total weekly mileage or time is maintained or slightly decreased. The pace run should become faster and recovery time allotted between segments should be gradually reduced while the steady-state run remains a staple of the programme but the distance is gradually decreased as the pace is increased. Tactics become more important as athletes learn from their race experiences. During this part of the season the athlete starts focusing on their individual race strengths with their coach helping them to train to use those strengths in races.

Early in the competition phase, many athletes may be running two competitions a week – a league meeting during the week and an open event at the weekend. A hard race constitutes an intense workout, so one should factor this into the training plan. In a week where an athlete races hard on two of those seven days, the other training days may incorporate only recovery, pre-race and post-race days with little other types of work included.

Transition phaseFollowing the end of the championship season, distance runners must transition from track to prepare for cross country. The fi rst portion of this transition phase is a good time for athletes to take a complete break from running. Many athletes take 14-21 days off to allow the body and mind to heal. Some may do alternative forms of exercise such as cycling, swimming or various exercise machines. Others just rest.

Aerobic capacity will decline slightly while the athlete is resting. After this break from training, the athlete can begin with easy running to work back into the daily eff ort needed to be successful. That easy running will transition the athlete into the conditioning phase for the next season to once again rebuild and extend the athlete’s training base. The bigger the base, the more consistent the peak tends to be at the conclusion of the next season.

PERFORMANCE Follow the magazine on Facebookfacebook.com/athleticsweeklyThe Achilles tendon

THE Achilles tendon typically tends to be more of a problem in the early spring as runners start their faster work in spikes on the track as well

as in the autumn as the longer mileage work begins in earnest on the unforgiving surface of the roads.

Why does it su� er?The forces through the Achilles tendon are huge. It is estimated that a single hop transmits up to 3,787 Newtons through the tendon. If a human-being with a mass of 70kg exerts approximately 686 Newtons when standing, it can be seen that the forces through the tendon when hopping are around fi ve-and-a-half times bodyweight.

Running leads to the inevitable wear and tear type of soreness that you will feel regularly in muscles. In the muscles plenty of blood flow helps to repair the tissue and improve the strength. The Achilles tendon has very little blood flow of its own though, so to repair it, it has to use the blood supply that exists in the sheath around the tendon. We think that nerves and blood vessels grow into the tendon and supply the blood to repair the damaged tissue and then withdraw. However, with repeated running on a repairing tendon, this process can be interrupted like the picking of a scab. Due to poor mechanics and constantly overloading a specifi c area, it soon turns into an unhealed and painful spot.

In the treatment of an Achilles issue you have to look at two aspects. First, the repairing tendon tissue has to be allowed to heal. If it has become chronically damaged, which is in a problem that is more than six weeks old, it needs to be prompted to heal. Secondly, the overall cause, which is poor biomechanics and strength, has to be addressed. However, when addressing this, you have to take into account the forces that the tendon has to be able to cope with and design the strength work accordingly.

In previous articles we have looked at gait (AW, June 14) and in long-term conditions it is essential to go through this to fi nd a complete solution. The typical pattern of the leg and knee rolling in and the foot rolling over into pronation is asking for the Achilles to become overloaded.

To decide how to manage a specifi c issue there are some simple questions to be answered about how it presents itself:

What type of pain is it?The onset of pain is rarely sudden, but tightness builds up over a few days and is especially felt in the morning. If it is sharp and stabbing, signifi cant tissue damage is more likely and running on it will cause more problems for longer. You should stop.

If it is a sore and tight pain that warms up through the day then it can be trained on at a level that does not make this any worse. It will be variable.

If it is sore and it remains sore during the day and doesn’t really improve when running, then you are asking too much of the damaged tissues and you should look to reduce the frequency and duration of runs to bring it to a level where it does settle down within an hour of getting up and within 10 minutes of running.

Does it swell?Swelling up is the release of tissue fluid by the body due to inflammation or tissue damage. If the Achilles blows up after a run, reduce the amount you are doing as you are continuing to damage the tendon.

If it is swollen, but it is a thick and solid type of swelling that does not vary then this is the result of scar tissue and thickening of the tendon sheath and, dependent upon the pain, you can still run on it. Thickness like this can often be permanent and is not a good indicator of the health of a tendon. Nevertheless, I know of many tendons that look horrible, but still perform very well.

Should I stop or not?If there is sharp pain when walking or running, that does not settle and there is soft swelling that ebbs and flows, then stop. If you have an achy tightness that loosens with walking or running without much swelling then you are okay to run. However, keep the levels as they are and do not increase the speed or amount of running.

How can I treat it myself?» MOBILISATIONThe Achilles has to be elastic and mobile. The damaged areas become stiff and mobilisation of the whole tendon is essential. Two minutes, four times a day.

The sheath around the tendon in long-term problems can become stuck down to the tendon itself by the nerves and blood vessels previously described, even after the repair of the tendon has occurred. This generates pain and freeing it can be very benefi cial. This type of mobilisation is painful. Grip the tendon tightly and move the foot up and down to slide the tendon within the sheath while you try to grip the sheath. Two minutes twice a day, every other day.

The mobilisation of the tissues takes a couple of weeks to start showing changes and a couple of months to change tissues back to normal levels of flexibility. Stick with it.

» STRETCHINGThe default treatment for Achilles pain is “stretch it!” However, tightness in the calf is not always the issue. You can test the calf length. You should be able to flex the foot up 20 degrees beyond 90 without the foot deviating to the side. If you have good range then you join the ranks of many of my patients with Achilles pain where length is not a problem – so why stretch it?

If there is tightness, while stretching can be helpful in the classic sense, it is often better in Achilles issues to use a roller. Two minutes, four times a day ideally. This is because the lower part of the calf to Achilles is very fi brous and does not respond that well to simple stretching.

STRENGTHAlongside biomechanical and gait issues, this is the biggest concern. The calf and Achilles are simply not strong enough to cope with the demands placed upon it. In simple terms, running puts up to fi ve times bodyweight through the tendon on each step. Add in the complications of excessive load in one area from poor mechanics and not surprisingly problems follow.

A basic requirement for any runner is the ability to perform 25 single-leg heel rises off the edge of a step – three sets in a row with a 30-second rest in between. My preferred standard is 3x25 heel rises plus up to 25kg on the back.

ECCENTRIC HEEL RISESThe research in the past few years has shown that heel rises performed “up on two, down on one” 3x15 several times a day produces results. My experience with runners shows that, while this is useful and a considerable improvement on the old advice of rest, it is simply not tough enough. There is still ongoing research into the possible benefi ts of just eccentric versus eccentric and concentric (just lowering rather than rising and lowering). Until we have a better idea about this I will hedge my bets and ask patients to do both. A typical program would be 3x25 up and down followed by 3x25 just lowering three times a day. You will certainly get stronger!

SMITH MACHINE OR SQUAT RACKThe use of a squat rack to add extra load to the tendon is an excellent idea.

ADDITIONAL AREASFoot invertor strength – tibialis posterior. This muscle is essential for good foot mechanics. 3x15 against an elastic band – it has to be tough or against a pulley machine in the gym. Foot turn in or inversion needs to be isolated from whole leg turn in.

Gluteals – especially gluteus mediusThe strength and control required to keep the knee over the top of the foot comes from the gluteals. The exercise shown is a good place to start. Stand with the aff ected leg furthest from the wall, feet parallel. The wall knee pushes into the wall and the standing leg is held solid. You should feel it in the glutes after a few moments. Two minutes building to fi ve minutes.

PERFORMANCE Follow the magazine on Facebookfacebook.com/athleticsweeklyThe Achilles tendon

HOPPING DRILLSOnce you have achieved a standard of 3x25 heel rises with at least 15kg it is time to start hopping and lunging work as the precursor to running. These are done once a day.

Hops on the spot These have to be barefoot and the process is two hops and then hold for two seconds, two hops and then hold for two seconds – repeated for three sets of at least 15. This needs to be pain-free. The emphasis is on good alignment and control of the knee over the foot. The knee should not roll inside the foot.

Backwards lungesStep or hop back from the unaff ected foot to the aff ected foot. The force should be absorbed through the foot by ensuring the foot is strong and springy. Do not let it collapse to the floor by letting your heel touch. Three sets of at least 15 reps. This acts as a dynamic eccentric exercise.

Timescales and returning to running“When can I run?” This is the most common question I hear! If you have decided that continuing to try to run is simply not working, then resting it and treating it has to be your main focus. There is little point in stopping running and continuing to spend all day on your feet or cross-training until it is painful. Rest properly!

Mobilising and early heel rise type of strength work takes two to three weeks to have an initial eff ect and then another similar timescale to become good. This means that you should consider at least three weeks of rest as a starter in an Achilles problem that has been lingering for several weeks or more. When stating this timescale I am greeted by grumpy looks accusing me of being mean, but it is determined by how long the body takes to improve tissue strength and structure.

A very simplifi ed timescale would be:Stage 1: Boring strength and mobilising work » Three to fi ve weeks of heel rises and

mobilisation. » Exit criteria to next stage: » 3x25 with 15kg single-leg heel rises. » Much less tender Achilles to walk and go

upstairs. » 10 minutes of early-morning stiff ness only.

Stage 2: Dynamic work» Three further weeks of hopping drills.

» Addition of extra weight to the heel rises.» Continue to mobilise. » Continue to work on the foot and glute

strength.» Exit criteria to next stage:» 3x25 heel rises with 20kg plus.» Much-improved foot strength (tibialis

posterior) and gluteal strength.» Pain-free hops and backward lunges.

Stage 3: Return to running!» Continue to work on the heel rises and

hops on alternate days to runs.» Add a rest day every fi ve days – exercises

– run – exercises – run – rest.» Run an easy fi ve minutes on grass.» Build to 10, 12, 15, 18, 20 minutes on

alternate days to the exercises.» Be worried if the pain is sharp or the

tendon swells up.» Don’t be worried if there is an ache and a

bit more morning stiff ness.

This process takes you over another two weeks and you can build it up to 30 minutes if all is okay.

Once 30 minutes has been reached then maintain the exercises and drop the rest days to every seventh day. Keep the heel rises exercises up for another two months at least.

PhysiotherapyYour physio should look at your gait pattern, assess the lengths and strengths throughout the leg and feel closely the quality of the tendon.» Mobilisation – the tendon needs to be worked hard to improve the tendon mobility and the slide and glide of the tendon sheath. It is hard to do this to yourself properly. Most physio sessions should include some deep mobilisation.» Acupuncture – this can be very helpful, although the exact mechanism is not understood. For some specifi c local spots of “stickiness” of the sheath to the tendon some local “pecking” or “dry needling” of the tendon can give good results.» Electrotherapy – in my view it is fairly useless in all but the most acute stages, although some clinicians say they obtain results from laser.

OCTOBER 21TIPTREE 10, inc BMAF Championships, EssexADRIAN MUSSETT took his first British Masters title when clocking 51:56.

In a year when many of the veteran events are clustered together at this time of year, Mussett had things pretty much his own wayand won by over two minutes. David Butler claimed the M55 group after taking the 10km title two weeks earlier at Ashford.

One of the cloest races was the M50 event as Colin Ridley bettered Tony Tuohy by just six seconds.

Geoff Newton celebrated his call-up for the England team in the upcoming British & Irish Masters Cross-Country International in Belfast by gaining another M65 title.

Angela Copson not only took the W65 title but her 72:07 gun time was a British best, taking a minute from Pam Jones’ previous best.

Tamara Jordan was the first runner to finish but it was Tracey Swindell, a 2:40:22 marathoner in her prime, who was the first vet to finish.Overall: 1 A Mussett (Col H, M40) 51:56; 2 R Reason (Harw) 54:14; 3 M Aldridge (R&N, M35) 54:33; 4 T Bracegirdle (Muddy MM) 54:36; 5 M Newton (Spring S) 55:19; 6 A Woods (B&W, M45) 55:49; 7 S Murtagh (Harl RC, M45) 55:58; 8 W Benton (Col H) 56:03; 9 A McNeill (Long E, M45) 56:10; 10 M Muir (Ilf, M35) 56:22M40: 2 B Herrington (Harw) 57:06.

BRUCE JUDD YOUNG ATHLETES RELAYS, inc Surrey championshipsStoke Park, GuildfordSOUTH of England champion Tom Holden helped his South London under-17 squad to silver medals, but his 6:54 best time was matched by Windsor’s Jack Rowe.

The Windsor man’s first-stage effort was enough to see them clear and, although Holden closed on the third and final leg, South London fell five seconds short of their Berkshire-based neighbours.

Down the age groups, under-13 Saskia Millard was faster than all of the under-15 girls with her 8:05 clocking for the approximately 2km lap.U17 men: 1 Windsor, Slough, Eton & Hounslow 21:15 (J Rowe 6:54, J Rainier 7:23, C Critchley 6:58); 2 South London H 22:20 (J Geraghty 7:27, P Bew 7:59, T Holden 6:54); 3 WSEH B 22:32 (G Cockle 7:34, J Bowden 7:33, G Gathercole 7:26): 4 Dorking & Mole valley 22;47; 5 Croydon H/Sutton n/s 23:09; 6 Guildford & Godalming 23:11; 7 Kingston & Polytechnic 23;36; 8 WSEH C 23:36Fastest: Holden/Row 6:54; Critchley 6:58U15: 1 Herne Hill H 22:45 (E Olsen 7:13, P Burgess 7:44, B Black 7:48); 2 Oxted School 23:07 (J Green 7:49, H Voller 7:40, W Bardsley 7:38); 3 K&P 23:10 (N Wellard 7:38, J Hall 7:59, H Reynolds 7:33); 4 Croydon 23:22; 5 Sutton R 23:34; 6 Aldershot, Farnham & District 23:52; 7 WSEH 24;02; 8 Camberley & District 24:02; 9 Camberley/Reigate

FNB GUERNSEY LEAGUE, L’Ancresse, GuernseySTEVE DAWES and Louise Perrio proved convincing winners as both equalled their respective course records amid a large turnout of more than 120 runners for the second of the five-race series

Despite windy conditions and a slow first two miles, Dawes ran a storming second half to his race and finished with a 4:47 mile to clock 21:11 for the four-mile distance, equalling his time of 2011 and finishing a minute clear of Mike Wilesmith.

After a long injury lay-off Will Bodkin has been gradually returning to form and he duly held off Lee Garland to claim the final podium spot.

Perrio finished seventh overall in 23:19 to equal her time of 2010, a minute clear of this summer’s breakthrough middle-distance runner on the island, Nat Whitty, who took more than two minutes from her 2011 time.

Danny Ray was leading under-15 in the accompanying two-mile event and Alex Rowe was the leading under-13, just clear of elder sister and leading under-15 girl, Katie Rowe.Overall (4M): 1 S Dawes (NEB) 21:11; 2 M Wilesmith (Guern) 22:11; 3 W Bodkin (Guern) 22:36; 4 L Garland (CI) 22:46; 5 D Crosland (Guern) 23:14; 6 T Coates (CI) 23:14; 7 L Perrio (Guern, W) 23:19; 8 G Mason (Guern, U17) 23:21; 9 J Gower (Guern) 23:24; 10 B Wilen (Guern) 23:25M40: 1 I Scholes (Guern) 24:33.

NORTH LONDON CHAMPIONSHIPS, Horsenden HillRYAN McKINLAY took Highgate Harriers to their fourth successive individual and team victory, Alastair Aitken reports.

Henry Dodwell set out from the start to make it four individual wins in succession for him, but by the closing part of the first lap Lithuanian Thomas Stasionis went ahead, followed by McKinlay.

Stasionis stayed ahead until McKinlay put in a burst on the hill on the last lap and used his speed to draw away over the last 800m of downhill and into the flat finish. Dodwell was an isolated third but clear of the rest.

It was surprisingly Tessa Hill’s first cross-country win, as she decided to do it as a supplement to orienteering in 2010.

She won the Snowdonia Mountain Race in July and has competed in severe-terrain races in Europe. It was with that type of ability that, on the first lap, she used the one and only hill to her advantage to move decisively ahed of her London training partner Katie Meredith, who ran the first half of the race with Sue Rust.Men: 1 R McKinlay (High) 26:03; 2 T Stasionis (Eton M) 26:10; 3 H Dodwell (High) 26:33; 4 R Bahelbi (High, U20) 26:55; 5 J Cooper (Harrow) 27:09; 6 D Thompson (Hill) 27:15; 7 A Lawrence (Morp) 27:20; 8 M Bateman (Hill) 27:25; 9 D Davies (SB) 27:33; 10 R Weston (Serp) 27:43; 11 C Beecham (High, M40) 27:57; 12 P Norris (Harrow) 28:12; 13 A John (ESM, M40) 28:17; 14 J Deane (High) 28:19; 15 R McCormick (Barn, M45) 28:24; 16 D Lewington (Serp) 28:38; 17 J Beveridge (Hill) 28:43; 18 B Southin (Serp) 28:47; 19 J Hogg (Serp) 29:05; 20 W Morris (Barn) 29:08; 21 A Mason (Barn, M45) 29:12; 22 A Hall (Lon Hth) 29:17; 23 C Hartley (Lon Hth, M45) 29:24; 24 M Hashi (ESM) 29:26; 25 R Breen (SB, M40) 29:28; 26 A Kitnomilides (Morn C) 29:33; 27 W Sharp (H’worth) 29:37; 28 J Manley (Hill) 29:38; 29 S Shanks (VPCG) 29:42; 30 M Woldemichael (Lon Hth, U17) 29:54M50: 1 A Cunningham (Barn) 30:00; 2 G Evans (Lon Hth) 30:45; 3 M Baron (Harrow) 31:14.

DURHAM UNIVERSITY CROSS COUNTRY RACE, DurhamDURHAM STUDENTS swept the board despite a record attendance from other institutions.

The woods around Maiden Castle provided a challenging three-mile course and with runners from Newcastle, York, Leeds, Sheffield Hallam, Leeds Met and Cambridge, competition was fierce.

Nobody could prevent Jennifer Walsh powering to a comprehensive victory in the women’s race, though. Walsh, last year’s BUCS 1500m champion, made light work of difficult conditions to set a course record of 15:31.

In the men’s race, Ben Douglas continued his fine recent form, finishing in a time of 21:31 ahead of Chris Smith (Leeds) and Nathan Reed (Newcastle). As race secretary, Douglas was also instrumental in organising the event and his performance capped off a busy day.

He said: “I spent the morning marking out the course, setting up

reception and signing people in so it was quite hectic. The race itself was really tough but I paced it well and managed to pull away at the end.”Men: 1 B Douglas (Dur U) 21:31; 2 C Smith (Leeds U) 21:55; 3 N Reed (Newc U) 21:59; 4 E Hickman Casey (E’bne) 22:05; 5 P Vis (S’port W) 22:13; 6 R Weeks (York U, U20) 22:14; 7 S Morney (Newc) 22:32; 8 W New (York A) 22:35; 9 J Isaac (Dur U) 22:39; 10 J Hillier (Wyc P) 22:45; 11 R Johnson (Dur) 22:46; 12 R Eaton (DUAXC B) 22:51; 13 S Kirkbride (Newc) 22:54; 14 G Mallett (DUAXC B) 23:01; 15 O Phair (Leeds & Br) 23:10; 16 J Wales (Newc) 23:19; 17 J Channer (DUAXC B) 23:26; 18 M Speight (York A) 23:28; 19 C Rowett (DUAXC B) 23:29; 20 F Affleck-brodie (Leeds & Br) 23:33TEAM: 1 Durham; 2 Newcastle; eq 3 Durham B/YorkWomen: 1 J Walsh (Dur U, U20) 15:31; 2 L Crooks (Leeds U) 17:20; 3 B Phillips (Newc U) 17:43; 4 S Munn (Kett, U20) 18:17; 5 L Dugdall (Newc) 18:22; 6 E Wilson (Barr, U20) 18:39; 7 B Lambson (Newc) 18:42; 8 L Kaye (DUAXC B) 18:48; 9 E Lee (DUAXC B) 19:00; 10 M Oakley (Shefflied A) 19:01TEAM: 1 Durham; 2 Durham B; eq 3 York/Newcastle

SCOTTISH RELAY CHAMPIONSHIPS, CumbernauldCENTRAL took the men’s and women’s titles, having been out of the first two in both events in 2011, Denis Shepherd reports.

Andrew Butchart and Scott McDonald had Central placed second at halfway before Alexander Hendry and Alistair Hay built up a winning lead, the gap being 22 seconds to VP Glasgow, who had led early on thanks to the fastest lap of the day by David Vernon. Corstorphine were 19 seconds back in third while Ronhill Cambuslang took both the M40 and M50 titles.

County and district champions Kilbarchan’s change of team order from recent weeks did not work out as Elspeth Curran, the fastest of the race, failed by seven seconds to reel in Central, who held a 53-second advantage at two-thirds distance. This was enough for Jennifer Emsley and Fiona Thompson to give to Lyndsay Morrison, who succeeded in of holding off Curran. Separate Edinburgh trios took third overall and first veteran team prizes.

The lead in the boys’ race was swapped between Inverclyde and VP Glasgow, the former holding on by 10 seconds after Ryan Gray (under-13) and Jonathan Glen (under-17) had clocked the fastest time in their age-group, the trio completed by Ross Gray.

Under-13 Erin Wallace, with the fourth fastest time of the race, gave Giffnock North a lead which Holly Still and Laura Penrice were never to relinquish in the girls’ event and they finished 31 seconds ahead of defending champions Kilbarchan.Men (4x4km): 1 Centr 52:40 (A Butchart 13:19, S McDonald 12:59, A Hendry 13:15, A Hay 13:07); 2 VPCG 53:02 (D Vernon 12:49, E Sloan-Dennison 13:22, M Ralston 13:48, S Fontana 13:03); 3 Cors 53:21 (D Selman 13:01, K Berry 13:23, A Christy 13:28, M Breen 13:29); 4 Cambus 53:46 (S Gibson 13:11, I MacCorquodale 13:42, W Tafese 13:12, J Hamilton 13:41); 5 Centr B 54:20 (M Wright 13:52, C Milne 13:35, L Millar 13:25, R Houston 13:28); 6 Shett 55:13 (P Sorrie 13:17, M Deason 13:40, A Peters 14:48, T Fay 13:28); 7 Kilb 55:19 (A Dearie 13:39, C McNulty 13:33, R Mountford 14:25, C Devenney 13:42); 8 Inver 55:20 (G Williams 14:12, C MacKay 12:56, S Gaffney 14:41, M Pollard 13:31); 9 Cors B 55:43 (C Galloway 14:05, B Clark 13:57, C McKenzie 13:45, S Pilkingotn 13:56); 10 A’deen 56:09 (M Haskett 13:32, J Joy 13:57, S Burgess 14:27, E Durkan 14:13); 11 Edin U 56:18; 12 Cambus E (M40) 56:21; 13 Cambus B 57:16; 14 Cors C 57:36; 15 G’nock 57:53; 16 S’clyde U 58:10; 17 Falk 58:14; 18 Shett D (M40) 58:16; 19 Giff N 58:23; 20 Bella R B 58:57; 21 Gars 59:03; 22 Ayr S 59:30; 23 Edin (M40) 59:33; 24 Kil’k 59:39; 25 W’lands CC 59:40; 26 Centr C 59:44; 27 Edin B 59:54; 28 Inver B 60:04; 29 E Kilb 60:23; 30 Gars B (M40) 60:23M40: 1 Cambus 56:21 (C Thomson 13:55, R Gilroy 13:57, G Hastie 14:31, K Wilson 13:58); 2 Cors 57:36 (G Wilkie 14:43, M Anderson 13:45, T Ferrington 14:34, R Milne 14:34); 3 Shett 58:16 (K Richmond 14:27, W Coyle 14:42, A Little 14:20, I Johnston 14:47); 4 Edin 59:33; 5 Gars 60:23; 6 Falk 60:34Fastest: 1 Vernon (U20) 12:49; 2 MacKay 12:56; 3 McDonald 12:59; 4 Selman 13:01; 5 Fontana 13:03; 6 Hay 13:07; 7 L Traynor (Giff N, U20) 13:08; 8 Gibson 13:11; 9 Tafese 13::12; 10 Hendry 13:15

OCTOBER 20BROOKS SUSSEX LEAGUEGoodwood, West SussexADAM CLARK, who figured well for his first-claim club, Aldershot, Farnham & District, in the national six-stage road relays the previous week, returned to his roots to help Hastings to five of the seven individual victories.

Hastings also took two team events on an overcast and gloomy afternoon as conditions in the woods were far from ideal as many tracks had been cut up by forestry work.

Clark romped away from Brighton

& Hove City’s Kevin Mason, who led his club to yet another senior team award.

Another Aldershot runner, Angel Collins, who was formally with Lewes, had her best race to date. Her victory in the women’s event came after seeing off a challenge from Julie Briggs, the national vets 10km champion, and Jessica Douglas over the final half-mile before winning by well over 50 metres.

Richard Nerurkar’s daughter, Almi, dominate the under-13 race ahead of Phoenix team-mate Naomi Fontyen. The under-13 boys’ event then brought Hastings’ first win of the day as Jesse Margorrian led throughout despite Aaron Alexander remaining close.

Hastings also won both under-15 events with Sophie Markwick heading clubmate Louisa Nash for the girls’ title as Luke Cooper and Matt Herring did the same in the boys’ race.

Phoenix’s new recruit Jake Alger, who has recently switched from Eastbourne, sprinted clear of new clubmate Robbie Fitzgibbon over the final quarter-mile to win by 60 metres.Men: 1 A Clarke (AFD) 24:52; 2 K Mason (B&H) 26:07; 3 J Pyrah (G&G, M40) 26:18; 4 J Burgess (Lewes) 26:31; 5 M Bristow (B&H) 26:41; 6 M Pickard (Phoe, U20) 26:50; 7 M Footman (Worth) 26:52; 8 C Faires (Tuff F) 26:56; 9 I Crowe-Wright (B&H, U20) 27:03; 10 T Hopkins (Phoe) 27:19; 11 S Parker-Harding (Hast, U20) 27:32; 12 D Bradford (Lewes) 27:38; 13 C Noakes (B&H, U20) 27:56; 14 N Robinson (B&H) 28:08; 15 G Judges (Hail, M40) 28:09; 16 R James (Lewes, M40) 28:13; 17 R Vidler (Hast) 28:15; 18 A Fautly (Horsh BS, U20) 28:25; 19 M Suter (Lewes) 28:33; 20 T Lunnon (B&H) 28:39; 21 J Morrey (Worth, U20) 28:44; 22 B Buchanan (Hast R) 28:48; 23 M Bradford (Lewes) 28:54; 24 V Dude (Craw, M50) 28:57; 25 E Dodd (E’bne, U20) 28:59; 26 J Miles (Phoe) 29:01; 27 T Ellis (Craw) 29:04; 28 R Mullen (Hay H) 29:15; 29 D Maclellan (Phoe, M40) 29:18; 30 C Jack (Chich, M40) 29:20; 31 P Ibarguren (Lewes) 29:21; 32 T Mullen (Herne H) 29:25; 33 J Mcgrath (Worth S, M40) 29:37; 34 D Webb (Burg HR) 29:38; 35 P Sargeant (Burg HR) 29:39; 36 J Risdale (Arena) 29:40; 37 J Larkin (Hast, M40) 29:50; 38 A Velecky (Lewes, M45) 29:51; 39 J Watson (Arena, M40) 29:52; 40 J Lowden (B&H, M55) 29:53M50: 2 P Cousins (Herne H) 30:55; 3 P Eccles (Hail) 31:42.

ATHLETICS WEEKLY 53

TWELVE months after the 2:10:55 marathon debut in Berlin that earned him Olympic selection, Britain’s Scott Overall will race his third 26-miler on Sunday in New York City.

It follows his disappointing 61st place in the Olympics and he is hoping for a big return to form.

“With New York quite hilly, I’m going to go out conservatively and try to run an even split,” said the Blackheath & Bromley athlete. “I’m doing it to get more marathon experience.”

Overall is one of many Brits who were this week struggling to get to New York City due to the travel chaos caused by Hurricane Sandy.

The 29-year-old is hoping to compete in the Virgin London Marathon in April and the World Championships in Moscow in August. “I’ve no idea what the qualifying time will be for

the Worlds, but I’m going to be looking to do the London Marathon and run fast there. I’m sure if I don’t do it in New York I can do it in London.”

As part of the World Marathon Majors, New York will provide the stiff est of tests and the line ups include: » Wilson Kipsang, the London Marathon champion and Olympic bronze medallist from Kenya.» Meb Keflezighi, the 2009 New York winner from the USA.» Gebre Gebremariam of Ethiopia, the 2010 winner.» Moses Mosop, the Chicago Marathon champion from Kenya.» Marilson Gomes dos Santos of Brazil is a two-time winner in New York (2006, 2008) and he has a PB of 2:06:34.» Abderrahime Bouramdane of Morocco has twice placed in the top fi ve in New York.» Jason Hartmann, US man was fourth in Boston this year.

The women’s fi eld features:» Tiki Gelana, the Olympic champion from Ethiopia.» Firehiwot Dado, the reigning champion from Ethiopia.» Edna Kiplagat of Kenya, world champion and 2010 New York winner.» Sharon Cherop of Kenya,

the Boston Marathon winner.» Kim Smith, New Zealand Olympian.» Buzunesh Deba of Ethiopia, who currently resides in New York, was the 2011 runner-up in New York in a PB of 2:23:19. » Ana Dulce Félix of Portugal is the European 10,000m champion and fi nished fourth in New York.» Jelena Prokopcuka of Latvia, is a two-time New York Marathon champion (2005, 2006).

In the wheelchair races, Britain’s Shelly Woods will hope to continue her fi ne record in New York. She has fi nished second four times and was third on her debut back in 2005.

The day before the marathon, Americans Shalane Flanagan and Kara Goucher and 13 other 2012 Olympians including Matt Tegenkamp and defending champion Chris Thompson will run the second annual NYRR Dash to the Finish Line 5km.

Overall heads to the Big Apple

ING NEW YORK CITY MARATHON, NOVEMBER 4

DESPITE the threat of Mansfi eld Harriers losing access to their base at Berry Hill Park, the venue will stage the annual national cross-country relays on Saturday.

It remains as popular as ever, too, with entry fi gures close to the record numbers experienced two years ago.

Event organiser Ian Byett says 1165 teams have entered across 10 races for the 2012 edition of the championships. This is not far off the 2010 numbers that saw 1188 teams taking part.

One new record will be notched up in the under-15 girls’ race with 125 teams entered – and a lot of the other races are not far short of record numbers. The biggest fi eld goes in the senior

men’s event with 228 teams being just two short of last year’s record, while 147 are entered in the senior women’s race.

The event is clearly one of the healthiest meetings on the calendar and the early winter date, central venue, slick organisation and athlete-friendly relay element means this is the seventh year in succession that

over 1000 teams have entered.Berry Hill Park fi rst staged

the event back in 1989, too, and Saturday will see the 25th time the relays have been held there, with two championships having been held in 1998.

Once again the compact but popular course is being meticulously prepared by course director Pat Carlan and the programme kicks off with the junior women’s race at 11am and concludes with the men’s race at 2.40pm.

As a form guide to the clubs who might do well on the day, winners of the senior area titles last month were Thames Valley Harriers, Sale and Tipton.

Senior women’s area champions from a few weeks ago, meanwhile, were Belgrave, Durham City and Tipton.

Reigning champions are Stockport Harriers in the men’s event and Charnwood AC in the

women’s race, while in the young athletes races Aldershot, Farnham & District are traditionally strong and expected to dominate the teenage ranks.

Stockport prove that the formbook can easily be upturned too. In winning last year, they improved 46 places from their performance 12 months earlier – giving hope to any team keen to make an impact this weekend.

OUT THURSDAY NOVEMBER 8 – DON’T MISS IT!NEXT WEEK

A light-hearted look at the crazy world of athletics

THE London Evening Standard has been forced to backtrack on absurd allegations that the London Marathon helped Jimmy Savile cut the course during the race.

The newspaper suggested last week that not only had Savile cut the course, but organisers had colluded with him by giving him a lift in a car.

Somewhat bizarrely, AW’s editor Jason Henderson was also unwittingly drawn into the story when the Standard bolstered their article with some old quotes from an online blog written just after Savile died last year.

Henderson had spent a day with Savile at the Balmoral Road Races in 1998 and emerged with the suspicion that the many “marathons” Savile boasted about were more likely a conglomeration of marathons, half-marathons and 10kms, but there was never any suggestion or

hint that he had cut the course in any race.Not surprisingly, current staff at the

London Marathon were furious at the unfounded allegations and asked the Standard to apologise.

London Marathon’s CEO, Nick Bitel, said: “The London Marathon is a highly regarded, honest and respectable organisation and have not, nor would not under any circumstances conceal any evidence found, relating to a runner attempting to cut the marathon course.

“The London Marathon has over the years taken strong measures against any runner who dishonestly completes the marathon and investigates fully any allegations that it receives. At no time have we received any information to suggest that Savile did cut the course and had we received such information we would have naturally investigated the matter thoroughly.”

Standard deviation

UKA’s departing head coach Charles van Commenee took the opportunity at the 50th British Athletics Writers’ Awards to have a good-natured potshot at the journalists who had made the run-up to London 2012 more challenging than it might have been.

Sporting a wry grin, the Dutchman spoke about the “journey” to the Games and thanked the scribes for putting what he described as a few

“roadblocks” in the way. “Dwain Chambers, Twitter-gate, plastic Brits,” he said, as he listed the most infamous stories of recent years.

Despite this, he received one of the warmest cheers of the day and most journalists are sad to see him go, largely due to his never-ending supply of juicy quotes and the fact there was never a dull moment at one of his press conferences or briefi ngs.

Chambers, Twitter-gate, plastic Brits

Lady Luck is on Mel’s sideA NEW book about the history of the women’s AAA has allowed author Mel Watman the satisfaction of making amends for what he says is one of his greatest blunders as an athletics writer.

In the 1960s he wrote The History of British Athletics but as the print deadline approached he discovered, to his horror, that he had little time or space to give women’s athletics justice.

The book therefore ended up being mainly a history of men’s athletics, with a paltry 14 pages at the end devoted to the opposite sex.

Watman, a long-time former editor of AW, says he was intensely embarrassed by this and it has haunted him for years, so the publication this week of the Offi cial History of the Women’s AAA has fi nally allowed him to “right a wrong”.» The book will be reviewed in AW soon

THE vest that Dave Moorcroft wore to smash the world 5000m record was among the items in a special display of racing singlets, shoes and spikes at the England Athletics Awards last weekend in Birmingham.

The collection is owned by athletics fanatic Job King, but some memorabilia was merely on loan for

the night – including Moorcroft’s Coventry Godiva kit that clocked the famous figures of 13:00.41.

In typically self-deprecating style, though, Moorcroft told the 400-strong audience that he’d tried it on just before the awards. “And it seems to have shrunk by a couple of sizes,” he grinned.
