FARAH COMES UP TRUMPSBEFORE last Sunday’s Virgin Money London Marathon the athletics world was sceptical about Mo Farah’s chances of success. I was one of them, because when asked on the eve of the race what time I thought he’d run, I offered the pessimistic prediction of ‘DNF’.

Instead I thought Guye Adola might make an impact. I’d seen the Ethiopian run the fastest debut marathon in history in Berlin last year, but in London he crawled home in 2:32 after going through halfway in 61 minutes. All of which goes to show what I know.

Farah did not blow anyone away with his 2:08:21 debut in London in 2014. His style and physiology seemed more suited to 1500m-10,000m. Or so I thought.

So when he improved his best by two minutes to break the UK record on Sunday, it was impressive. What made it even more admirable, though, was the fact he did it after being bold enough to mix it with the leaders at the kamikaze sub-two-hour pace.

Praise, too, should go to coach Gary Lough for masterminding the result. It now opens up an exciting new chapter in Farah’s incredible career where he looks set to challenge for victory in a big-city marathon this autumn followed by possible global championships in Doha 2019 and Tokyo 2020, plus, who knows, maybe a London Marathon win in future.

■ TALKING of predictions, last weekend I bumped into one of AW’s former writers, Elaine Larkins, who used to specialise in covering young athletes’ events and who interviewed the teenage Farah when he won the London Mini Marathon three times in the 1990s.

Neither Elaine nor anyone could imagine back then what Farah would go on to achieve. Given this, I invite you to look at the class of 2018 in our Mini Marathon reports on p18-19 and see if you can pick out the champions of tomorrow.

One thing’s for sure, those results will include the names of future Olympians and, hopefully, some household names.

THE 38th London Marathon was the hottest in the race’s history

and saw a record number of finishers as 40,273 conquered the 26.2 miles in temperatures of 24C.

Just over 41,000 began the race as Her Majesty the Queen sent the field on its way by pressing a starting button at Windsor Castle. Eliud Kipchoge crossed the finish line 2:04:17 later to win his third London Marathon title as Vivian Cheruiyot made it a Kenyan double by winning the women’s race.

It was a good day for British marathoners, too, as Mo Farah smashed Steve

record to clock 2:06:21 in third, while

David Weir won his eighth men’s wheelchair title in the capital.

Despite the scorching temperatures, the men’s and women’s elite races were run at a pace inside world record tempo.

It led to a number of runners suffering on the

day with the number of sub-2:40 runners, for example, roughly half of the 2017 total.

Yet it also helped bring the crowds out on to the streets as they roared the runners home on a memorable day.

“It was an extraordinary day and really did show the spirit of London,” race director Hugh Brasher reflected.

long-standing mark


ACTION

ON THE eve of the race, the athletes in the elite men’s race agreed the lead pacemakers would aim to go through 13.1 miles in 61 minutes dead. Behind, a second group would target 61:45. With the race poised to experience the hottest temperatures in its history, it was a crazy, kamikaze plan.

When the runners were eventually sent on their way by the Queen at 10am on Sunday morning, it soon emerged that none of the major contenders fancied being part of the 61:45 group. Either their egos did not like the idea of being in a mere second group, or they did not enjoy the prospect of being detached from the main racing pack. Whatever the reason, all the big names settled behind pacemakers who then, remarkably, set off at not only sub-world record pace but well inside sub-two-hour pace.

They included Mo Farah, who spent much of his debut marathon in London four years earlier running by himself a fair distance behind the leaders. This time he decided to mix it with the leaders. It was a bold plan and ultimately paid off with a British record, while the runner who withstood the brutal early pace the best was Eliud Kipchoge, the Olympic champion, as he took victory in London for the third time.

A first mile of 4:22 set the tone. The runners then passed through 5km in 13:48 and 10km in 28:19 and halfway in 61:00. It was insanely fast, but led to a thrilling battle as the runners fought fatigue in the second half of the race.

Despite the suicidal pace, Kipchoge pushed from the front relentlessly in the closing stages to break his only remaining rival, Tola Shura Kitata of Ethiopia,

with two miles to go, as the Kenyan marathon maestro clocked 2:04:17 to win.

Behind, the relatively unheralded Kitata finished 32 seconds back in 2:04:49 with Farah a further 92 seconds back as the Briton clocked 2:06:21 to beat Steve Jones’ national record of 2:07:13 which had stood since 1985.

“I came to London to run a beautiful race and today, to me,

I ran a really beautiful race,” said Kipchoge.

“It was do or die. I went as fast as I could,” said Farah, who surprised many with his decision to embrace the early pace. “It’s so different to the track, a marathon, it’s incredible. It’s different pain, different training – and I’ve really enjoyed doing the training.”

@athleticsweekly

Norway’s Sondre Nordstad Moen in Fukuoka in December, survived Farah’s attack, but the Briton was pleased with his second marathon following his 2:08:21 debut – and his only previous marathon – in 2014.

“I’m satisfied with the result,” Farah added. “I can’t do any better than what I did. I got a personal best. I fought as much as I could. Eliud is a great marathoner who has many

experiences with the marathon and today is one of those things. You be a man, fight like a man, or start off in the back and regret later on. I fought as much as I could. After 30km I was definitely feeling it. Obviously the pace slowed down a bit. I was tired but managed to hang in there and come away third.”

Surprise package of the race, meanwhile, was Kitata – the 21-year-old came into

the race with a PB of 2:05:50 from eight marathons, which included victories in Rome and Frankfurt last year.

“From the beginning the race was going well,” said Kitata through an interpreter. “I felt good because I became No.2 and I beat big name athletes.”

Behind, there was predictable carnage in the 24C temperatures and given the red-hot early pace. Abel Kirui, the

2009 and 2011 world champion from Kenya, was fourth in 2:07:07. Another leading Kenyan, Bedan Karoki, who was third in London last year, was fifth in 2:08:34.

The biggest name of all, Kenenisa Bekele of Ethiopia, was sixth in 2:08:53. Lawrence Cherono, the 2017 Amsterdam winner from Kenya, was seventh in 2:09:53. Daniel Wanjiru, last year’s





1 0 A T H L E T I C S W E E K L Y

London Marathon winner from Kenya, was eighth in 2:10:35 – as the reigning champion ran his second half more than nine minutes slower than his first.

The quality of the field meant it was one of the most anticipated races in the history of the race. After the sizzling first mile of 4:22, the second mile was 4:30 and the third mile 4:23 as the pack passed three miles in 13:15 behind pacemakers Gideon Kipketer, Edwin Kiptoo and Morris Gachanga, who were all wearing Shaftesbury Barnet-style black and white colours as usual.

At this stage, a group of nine were clear – Kipchoge, Kirui, Wanjiru, Bekele, Karoki, Farah, Kitata, Cherono and Guye Adola, an Ethiopian who had run the fastest debut marathon in history last September as runner-up behind Kipchoge in Berlin.

Passing five miles in 22:33, the pace settled slightly – with a series of miles in the 4:40s – although the runners were

still on course to break the two-hour barrier at that point. At 10 miles, the runners clocked 46:14 – a time that is just 12 seconds slower than Richard Nerurkar’s British record for the distance.

Halfway was reached in 61 minutes dead as Kipchoge led from Kitata, Karoki, Kirui, Bekele, Wanjiru and Farah.

“Everybody wanted to be in the first group,” said Farah, “so basically I had no choice but to go with them. At one point I was looking at the clock, the first mile was ridiculously quick (4:22), I was looking at it thinking ‘oh, my God’, but then it slowed down after halfway, and from there you pay the price. You can’t go off that fast and come away with 2:02.”

By 16 miles the pacemakers had peeled off and Kipchoge was pushing the pace with Farah and Kitata on his shoulder as the lead trio were operating at 2:02:25 pace.

Major contenders such as Bekele were dropped at

this stage and anticipation was high for Farah to become the first British men’s winner since Eamonn Martin in 1993. But by 17 miles the 35-year-

old gradually lost contact as Kipchoge pushed the pace mercilessly.

Farah was not the only runner suffering, though, with world 5000m and 10,000m record-holder Bekele more than a minute behind. Even Kipchoge could not keep the same relentless pace, however, as he passed 20 miles with Kitata in 93:52, drifting outside world record and even course record pace.

For the next four miles Kipchoge and Kitata were locked in combat. The Kenyan continued to push the pace and looked like a metronome, with the Ethiopian doggedly following in a stubborn attempt to stay with the world No.1.

Finally – perhaps inevitably – Kipchoge began to break away, though, as the runners passed through a tunnel with two miles to go and as the 33-year-old passed 40km he had built up an 11-second lead.

From then on, he was able to relish the closing stages as he cruised past Buckingham Palace and ran down The Mall to the finish.

“I can say I enjoyed the race,” said Kipchoge, who missed London last year in order to run Nike’s Breaking2 exhibition event in Monza where he clocked 2:00:25.

“I enjoyed the race very much. I still enjoy the win – and I’m happy to be able to win for the third time in London.”

AFTER Jonny Mellor ran a PB of 2:12:57 in a breakthrough race in Berlin last autumn, there were high hopes he would carve another chunk off his best. But it was not to be for the 31-year-old as he struggled in the second half of the race and clocked 2:17:55.

“After 10 miles I didn’t feel great,” said Mellor. “Maybe I was a little too ambitious in the heat.

“I struggled with the temperatures and there was a fair bit of wind out there too. It was really tough out there, but I didn’t want to drop out. I wanted to run a PB, but it didn’t happen in the conditions.”

Mellor passed halfway in 66:30 but faded in the final miles – although he still managed to finish No.2 Briton behind Mo Farah and 14th overall.

Elsewhere, Matt Clowes of Cardiff went through halfway in 68:40 on his debut but ran 2:43:16.

Aaron Scott of Lincoln Wellington – another leading British contender – dropped out after passing halfway in 70:05. Shettleston’s Tsegai Tewelde, a British Olympian in 2016, didn’t start.

From the mass starters, Kent’s John Gilbert ran 2:20:19, although he was five minutes outside his PB in the conditions, while Serpentine’s Andy Greenleaf was just outside his PB with 2:22:01 and Greenleaf’s club-mate Will Green clocked a 2:27:02 PB aged 43.

ACTION

THE plan had been simple, the aim high. As Mary Keitany had put it earlier in the week, she and Tirunesh Dibaba fully intended to “follow in the footsteps of the legend Paula Radcliffe” at the Virgin Money London Marathon.

In doing so, the intention was for one of them to start a new chapter in women’s marathon running, succeed the Briton as the world record-holder and consign her unforgettable 2:15:25 performance from 2003 to the history books.

For a while, at least, the plan seemed to be working. As had been expected, last year’s London winner Keitany – who had broken Radcliffe’s women’s-only world record by running 2:17:01 on her way to victory – and runner-up Dibaba didn’t take long to surge to the front. Guided by male pacemakers, as Radcliffe had been 15 years ago, they were quick to separate themselves from the pack.

Indeed, when Keitany edged ahead of her Ethiopian rival around the 10-mile mark, which was passed in 51:16, she was 32 seconds inside world record pace.

The pacemakers had been asked to take the leaders through halfway in 67:30 but

Keitany remained ahead of schedule at that point, clocking 67:16, and with a growing lead over Dibaba.

Vivian Cheruiyot came through the 13.1-mile marker

one minute and 40 seconds after the leader, having deliberately opted to hold herself back. As was to prove crucial, the Olympic 5000m champion found herself feeling

particularly “comfortable” at this stage.

Keitany ploughed on but both the furnace of the Commonwealth Games and the storms and cold of Boston

recently underlined just how hard it is to get a marathon right and cracks began to appear in the armour of the leading duo.

First to fall was Dibaba. The multi Olympic and world

track champion had been adrift of the lead by 52 seconds, and just been passed by Cheruyiot and Brigid Kosgei at the 30km mark when she came to an abrupt halt, looking in serious discomfort. Despite her efforts to get running again, her race was over.

Keitany now appeared to be fighting a lone battle against the clock up ahead but the first sign of a wobble came with a mile split of 5:37 at mile 15. Two miles later and she had begun to drift behind world record

pace. The plan was beginning to unravel.

Cheruiyot had been fourth on her marathon debut in London the previous year but had paid the price then for trying to match Keitany’s searing early pace. This time, she was determined to bide her time.

Content with her race plan and then significantly boosted by coming past Dibaba, when Keitany then appeared on her horizon it provided just the shot of energy she needed.

Keitany was still just about clinging on to the lead when she hit mile 22 but a split of 5:50 told its own story and very shortly afterwards Cheruiyot stormed past without a second glance and into a lead she

would not relinquish. She crossed the line in 2:18:31, which is the fourth-fastest time in history, and with a performance which suggests there is more to come.

“The reason it was so good for me today was because I started slowly; I didn’t go with the faster group because the faster group was quicker than I was at the start,” said the 34-year-old.

“Then I came slowly, slowly. I didn’t want to race against anybody, I wanted to race alone. So I raced like that. When I saw Dibaba, I had enough energy that I thought ‘I’m going to get her’. After that I saw Mary, and I got her, and I thought ‘yes, today I am going

to be a winner of the London Marathon’. I’m so happy.”

Cheruiyot was followed by her compatriot Kosgei in a personal best time 2:20:13, with Ethiopia’s Tadelech Bekele also producing her fastest ever marathon for third in 2:21:40.

Keitany ultimately had to settle for fifth place in 2:24:17.

“This was the toughest marathon ever,” she said. “I made a mistake and always, in the marathon, you have to learn a lot. I don’t have any complaints, it was just my fault.

“I am still a champion and I still have in mind I must try once more, there is always tomorrow.”

It won’t take long for Keitany’s world record planning to start again soon and, though she claims otherwise, it’s an idea that will be crossing Cheruyiot’s mind now, too.

“JOB done,” smiled a content Lily Partridge in the immediate aftermath of a London Marathon debut which saw her finish eighth and tick a number of substantial boxes.

First, her time of 2:29:24 was not only a big personal best after she made her marathon debut in Seville last year with 2:32:10. More importantly, the Aldershot athlete also came well within the European Championships qualifying standard of 2:36:00 and booked her slot for the team bound for Berlin in the summer by finishing as the top Briton.

She will be joined on the team by Tracy Barlow, who may not have clocked a personal best but followed in ninth place with 2:32:09 to take the second qualifying spot.

In the absence of the injured Charlotte Purdue, the elite women’s field only featured a trio of Britons rather than the intended four and Rebecca Murray acquitted herself well to run 2:39:37 in what was her first attempt at 26.2 miles.

Partridge is hardly a seasoned campaigner either when it comes to the marathon but she has learned much in

the past year. Following the satisfaction of Seville came the blow of Berlin when she was forced to stop in the latter stages of the race in the German capital after an injury-affected build-up took its toll.

This time there were no such issues and confidence had been high before the race thanks to a consistent training block. Even pacing proved the key for Partridge, who was accompanied by Barlow until around the 25km mark.

“I’m happy with that,” said Partridge, who had gone

through halfway in 74:03 and ended up running much of the latter stages on her own, save for the company of two pacemakers. “I blew up a little bit in the last three miles but I think that was just the nature of the day.

“Top 10, qualification for the Euros – job done.”

She added: “I would have liked to have gone faster and I think that (her performance) was probably worth a little bit faster, but you can only do what you can do on the day and I emptied the tank.

“This is only my second

marathon finish and my third start. I have learned a lot.

“For the first 10 miles I was sat just off the pacemakers and trying to relax as much as possible and that’s something I didn’t do in Seville.

“There I tried to run it how you would run on the track, right behind them, and in the marathon I don’t think that pays off so much.

“Coming through halfway, I felt really, really good – just as if I was on a long run – but people were falling away so I thought ‘this is a good sign’.

“I didn’t do anything until 20

miles, and I tried to put a bit of a surge in. Well, I think it feels like you’re putting a surge in but I don’t think my pace changed as such.

“My pacemakers kept saying ‘relax, relax’ and I was saying ‘I can go, I can go’. Then we got to mile 23 and I felt like ‘I can’t go, I can’t go’.

“But you’ve got to try it and had it come off then I’d have run faster.”

Partridge ultimately wants to get much faster at the marathon and is not shy about stating her ambitions.

She is also convinced that

the emerging crop of young British endurance athletes can help each other raise the bar and lower their times – particularly if they look at the example being set by female American runners at the moment.

Shalane Flanagan and Desi Linden have both enjoyed major marathon victories in the past six months, while two other US runners have dipped under 2:22 in that timeframe.

“I think in the next couple of years I can go under 2:25 – I think that’s where my training suggests I can go – but half the

sport is about staying healthy and getting some consistency,” said Partridge. “If I can put in a couple of years back to back without any major upset then I can start doing big things.

“We’ve got to look at what the Americans are doing. It only takes one or two girls to do it to show what’s possible.

“I think it’s a belief thing, I think it’s confidence to say if that’s what you want to achieve then that’s what you have to go for.

“I’m not saying I’m going to go out in my next couple of marathons and go out for 2:22, I’m not there yet, but we have to be looking at those times.

“We can’t be looking at breaking 2:30 or running 2:28 because they don’t get you anything now.

“There are a couple of young girls coming up, just starting the marathon, and I think we have the opportunity to do what the Americans are doing, but it will take confidence.”

The youngest of those girls is Murray, who is just 23.

The Bedford and County athlete has 5000m and 10,000m British universities titles to her name, is coached by Paula Radcliffe’s old mentor Alex Stanton and came through what proved to be something of a baptism of fire in the hot conditions.

CLAIRE GRIMA and Maria Heslop finished as the first two women veterans in the marathon but, like most runners, slowed in the second half of the race in the heat.

Grima, who went through halfway in 80:53, ran 2:53:13 and she said: “I’d trained harder than ever so I was really hoping for a PB around 2:40. I knew pretty early on that was not going to happen and, from the 15-mile mark, I was just focusing on finishing. I suffered in the heat like a lot of people.”

This was echoed by former multiple age group winner and British W55 record-holder Vicki Perry, who said: “I saw more seasoned runners collapse and walking from quite early on, than ever before.”

Her own attempt at winning the W60 title was thwarted by cramp at 14 miles as Lynda Hembury took the title.

Heslop had set off with the intention of having a crack at the British masters W50 record of 2:52:33 (2:52:30 chip) set by Jo Thompson in 2010. But despite being well inside target at halfway (83:42) she fell off of the pace. With 5km splits around the 22-minute mark, the Tonbridge runner wound up with 2:57:16 (2:56:56 chip).

“I was delighted to win my age category and getting a PB by one second but also frustrated that the weather was so hot that a faster time eluded me,” she said. “I really felt the impact of the heat from about

18 miles. At halfway I felt I was in with a chance of getting the record but it wasn’t to be.”

This all meant that the warm weather denied the event any age group records and, in recent years, this W50 mark has survived several attempts at a revision.

The 2017 W50 winner, Elspeth Turner, was behind Heslop from the start and eventually finished outside the three-hour mark as her pace too slowed along the Embankment.

The veteran men were led by Irishman Gary O’Hanlon who, after leading Kojo Kyereme in the early stages, went on to head Italian Alberto Mosca by three minutes. After a 68:46 half-marathon split, already well clear of the rest of the masters, the Serpentine runner held form as he won in 2:21:29 (2:21:14, chip).

British masters record-holder Steve Way finished 10th M40.

Further down the field, even former world marathon champion Martin Fiz suffered in the heat. The Spaniard went through halfway in 75:03 before clocking 2:37:41 (2:37:22 chip) as first M55.

Graham Green was the first M50 in 2:36:35 and said: “The conditions were brutal and I felt awful from four to 12 miles. I didn’t expect to feel bad so early in the race however, at Tower Bridge, I suddenly felt better. Halfway was reached

in 76:30. I was tired and hot, but through 16 miles I started to work through the field. I tried to increase my effort and dug deeper and crossed the line overwhelmed with exhaustion but my desire to succeed got me to the finish line.”

Last year Jackie Jenkins set a W75 British record with 4:01:24 in Dorchester and had hoped to get under four hours here but was slowed in the heat to 4:39:18 for fourth over-70, but first W75. She said: “I struggled in the heat and needed to take on a lot more water than usual. It was my 11th London Marathon and my slowest, but I was pleased to complete the race.”

EARLIER this year, David Weir described feeling like he had a “new lease of life” and the six-time Paralympic champion used that energy to help him storm to a thrilling eighth victory as he beat Switzerland’s Marcel Hug in a sprint finish.

Back racing on the streets of his home city in an event he was contesting for the 19th consecutive year, Weir – who retired from track racing last year – clocked 1:31:15 ahead of Hug with the same time, while USA’s 20-year-old Daniel Romanchuk was third just one second back.

“The end was tougher than last year,” said Weir, whose seventh win in 2017 surpassed the previous record tally of six he shared with Tanni Grey-Thompson. “Mentally and physically I felt better coming into this.

“I’m really happy this year. Last year I was in a different state of mind and I couldn’t really celebrate. Now my head is clear, I’m enjoying the training again, and the racing. I’m just enjoying life to be honest, and I

think that’s what’s helping.”Behind the top three, the

USA’s 2015 winner Josh George was fourth in 1:31:24 and Australia’s Commonwealth Games champion Kurt Fearnley fifth.

Weir’s fellow British athletes JohnBoy Smith and Simon Lawson were 11th and 13th after their silver and bronze medal wins on the Gold Coast.

Weir and Hug had also recently raced in Paris and Boston respectively, and another athlete with a busy race schedule was women’s winner Madison de Rozario, who was back in action after winning both the T54 1500m and

marathon titles on home soil at the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games.

While some athletes struggled in the heat in London, De Rozario enjoyed the conditions but still surprised herself with victory ahead of the USA’s Tatyana McFadden, who was racing in vastly different weather to that in which she won the Boston Marathon on the Monday before.

“We were all together for a bit and I didn’t think I’d have

enough for the final sprint. Thanks to the girls who were in that race, that was amazing,” said De Rozario, with the top two both clocking 1:42:58.

“The warmer weather definitely suits me coming from Australia. It was nice out there.”

McFadden had been forced to miss the event in 2017 after surgery for blood clots and enjoyed being back.

“It was a really good race,” she said. “It’s hot today, which is so different from Boston in freezing conditions! That’s what’s fun in London, you never know what you’re going to get.

“I couldn’t come last year so it’s really awesome to be back. I’m 85% there (after her surgery) so just to be up with the top five is really nice.”

American Susannah Scaroni was third in 1:43:00. After her gold and bronze medal wins in the triathlon and marathon respectively on the Gold Coast, Britain’s Jade Jones finished seventh in 1:50:04.

TWO decades after he claimed the first of his three Mini London Marathon titles, Mo Farah was back on the streets of London, impressing in the full 26.2-mile event.

Many stars of the future are sure to have been among the class of 2018 as young runners followed in Farah’s footsteps by racing over the final three miles of the full marathon course, starting at Old Billingsgate.

Incorporating the British Athletics Road Running Championships for the 10th time, the event saw titles awarded to athletes in under-17, under-15 and under-13 categories, plus in under-17 and under-14 races for wheelchair and ambulant para-athletes. Farah won his titles in 1998-2000 when running for Hounslow and athletes this year were again representing either their London boroughs or British regions.

Coventry athlete Kare Adenegan ensured that her successful Mini Marathon career ended on a high, with the three-

time Paralympic and five-time world medallist breaking the under-17 wheelchair race course record to claim her fifth consecutive win.

Clocking 12:37, Adenegan took two seconds off a mark which had been set five years earlier by Jade Jones, who recently won triathlon gold and marathon bronze on the Gold Coast and was back racing over 26.2 miles in London.

“I had my eyes on the course record as the racing conditions were perfect today,” she said. “I’ve competed six times and won five of those. I just forgot about the competition and went for it. My next target is the European Championships in Berlin where I’m targeting gold in the 100m and 800m.”

Merle Menje won the under-14 title in 13:30, while the under-17 boys title was

claimed by Zien Zhou in 13:05 and Andrew Greer retained the under-14 title in a time of 14:01.

Sufyaan Mahmoud clocked 27:04 and Jake Bailey 27:19 to win the under-17 and under-14 ambulant titles respectively.

Back in the UK after his

collapse in the closing stages of the Commonwealth Games marathon in Australia, world fourth-placer Callum Hawkins had set the young athletes on their way and also greeted them at the finish, presenting the winners with their medals.

Among those receiving a prize from the 2:10 marathoner – who ran the Mini London Marathon himself three times – was Hawkins’ fellow Scot Cera Gemmell, who used the support from the crowd to help her to victory.

The Antrim Cross Challenge champion ran 16:38 ahead of her Scotland team-mate Eloise Walker, who clocked 16:46 for the runner-up spot.

“They were all shouting ‘Scotland’ and it was just an amazing atmosphere,” Gemmell said, reflecting on the spectator support.

Holly Weedall: improved on seventh

place last year to win the U13 title

“It’s completely amazing. I did this last year and I was seventh, and I looked at the winners and thought ‘I could never do that’. It’s just unbelievable really, I never thought it would happen to me.”

After working his way through the age groups, Commonwealth Youth Games bronze medallist Luke Duffy was another athlete to secure success in his final year as he won the boys under-17 title in 14:24, two seconds ahead of North East’s inter-counties cross country champion Rory Leonard. Last year’s runner-up, East’s Thomas Keen, placed third.

“I’ve always wanted to win this competition,” said East Midlands’ Duffy, who used his track speed to power down the finishing straight on The Mall. “It’s a massive bucket list race for me. I’ve been doing it since I was 13. To win now in my last year is unbelievable.

“It’s such a prestigious race to win. It’s a massive one on the calendar because it’s just between cross country and track.”

Ranking his Mini Marathon win a close second in his career highlights so far behind his Commonwealth Youths 1500m medal, Duffy now targets July’s IAAF World U20 Championships in Finland.

“It will be tough, because I’m only 17, but after that win I think I’m in decent shape,” he added.

The winning time in the girls under-15 race matched the under-17 winning mark, with the title claimed by South West’s Bea Wood, who won English Schools and SIAB Schools International cross country gold medals last month.

Scotland’s Lily-Jane Evans-

Haggerty was second in 17:05, matching her position from last year.

English Schools 1500m champion Ethan Hussey won the under-15 boys race in 14:54 for Yorkshire and Humberside, claiming a 12-second victory ahead of UK under-15 3000m record-holder Mohamed Ali.

“It was a good race. The weather conditions and the course suited me,” said Hussey, who now switches his focus to the track and opens his summer season this weekend.

The under-13 titles were won by North West’s Holly Weedall in 17:15 and North East’s Christopher Perkins in 16:06.

Northern cross country champion Weedall enjoyed a 23-second margin of victory over National and inter-counties winner Maisy Luke for South West, while South East’s Ben Brown was runner up behind Perkins, clocking 16:14, as both athletes made their Mini Marathon debuts.

MARATHON EVER-PRESENTSALL 11 surviving London Marathon ‘ever presents’ managed to finish last weekend’s race.

The fastest was Chris Finill of Harrow AC, who ran 3:54:07 despite breaking his arm three miles into the race.

The runners (pictured right) have completed every event since 1981 and they all live to fight again in 2019.

It was tough, though, as Malcolm Speake, David Walker, Dale Lyons and Kenneth Jones took more than seven hours to finish.

MARATHON MAJORS WINNERSELIUD KIPCHOGE sealed his third Abbott World Marathon Majors win as he claimed the Series XI prize, while Mary Keitany’s fifth place in Sunday’s race earned her the equivalent women’s purse of $250,000.

NEWTON FLIESFORMER GB cyclist Chris Newton was the fastest of the celebrity running field in 3:07:11, while John Lamont was the quickest politician as the Tory MP finished his debut marathon in 3:38:03.

TV AUDIENCEMORE than 50% of British people watching television on Sunday morning were tuned into the BBC’s coverage of the marathon.

MARATHON DEATHMATT CAMPBELL (below), a professional chef, collapsed at the 22.5-mile mark and later died in hospital despite receiving immediate medical attention.

FARAH’S MASTERS BESTIN addition to his UK record, Mo Farah also improved Carlos Lopes’ European M35 mark of 2:07:12 on Sunday. The Briton turned 35 last month to officially enter the masters category.

SPIRIT OF LONDONON a day to celebrate the event’s ‘spirit of London’ campaign, the Grenfell Tower firefighters from North Kensington and Paddington (right) embodied the capital’s heart as they raised much-needed funds for local campaigns.

Mick Dowden from North Kensington fire station said: “We’ve all visualised coming down The Mall, but it was absolutely unbelievable. From day one, it’s been an unbelievable journey. It’s so far-reaching. We fully needed it and not just us – for the community and the rest of the London Fire Brigade who attended.”

TIMING BLIPCONFUSION reigned at the end of the men’s race in London when timing officials published marks for Eliud Kipchoge and Mo Farah that were about 10-11 seconds too slow.

The results errors went out to media in the press centre and were on the official website for a while. But organisers quickly rectified the mistake and within about an hour of the race finishing the times had been corrected.

SWITZER’S LONDON DEBUTMARATHON pioneer Kathrine Switzer from the USA finished her first London Marathon in 4:44:49 aged 71.

Switzer, who started the women’s and World Cup races before running the race herself, summed up the spirit of the day when she said: “London’s always been there for me. I’m shattered but elated to have taken part today. It’s been a beautiful day.”

Over half a century ago in 1967 she became the first woman to complete the Boston Marathon as a registered entrant despite the race official Jock Semple trying to pull her out of the race by grabbing her bib.

Women could not enter the Boston Marathon until five years later in 1972.n Look out for a feature on Kathrine Switzer in Athletics Weekly next month

PERFORMANCE

MANY athletes and coaches may think that when it comes to sprint speed and

muscle power, the quads and glutes are the most important for generating sprint speed. After all it makes sense that the quads, for example, exert force on the running surface when pushing off into each stride and so they do. However, it seems that other muscles may actually be more important and these are the ones located around the front and rear of the hips.

Sprinting requires the legs

to move from a position behind the body to one in front as quickly as possible every stride cycle. The hip and hamstring muscles contribute significantly to this cyclical movement. The hips can be seen as a kind of fulcrum around which the sprint action takes place – they “whip” the leg from behind the body to the front, with the foot passing near to or above the knee at max velocity, before pulling it down to the track close to the sprinter’s centre of mass for foot-strike. During this later movement it’s the hamstrings play a vital role – of which more later.

Ralph Mann, one of the world’s foremost authorities on the biomechanics of athletics has written that: “The greatest contributor to sprint success appears to be the muscular activity of the hip. From toe-off to foot-strike, the hip flexor activity needed to recover the

leg, as well as the hip-extensor effort produced to halt the leg recovery and extend the limb toward foot-strike are significant contributors.”

A great deal of research actually exists on the “sprinting muscles” and backs up the crucial role of the hip muscles and Mann’s thoughts. A team writing in the European Journal of Applied Physiology and Occupational Physiology analysed sprint technique during the acceleration, top speed and speed maintenance phase of the 100m.

They stated: “The muscles of the hip joint were found to be the primary movers of acceleration of the body’s centre of gravity during the ground phase of the running cycle.”

Further proof …Researchers writing in the Scandinavian Journal of

Medicine Science in Sports compared the leg muscle mass of top NCAA (US collegiate sprinters) with non-sprinters. It was found that the sprinters had 22% more limb muscle mass than the non-sprinters but that not all muscles were uniformly larger.

Specifically, it was discovered the hip (and knee crossing muscles – quads and hamstrings) exhibited significantly greater size – with a mean difference of 19%-54% in comparison to the non-sprinters. The other significant difference was the tibialis posterior (muscle to the front of the lower leg) which was 28% bigger compared to the non-sprinters.

The front lower leg muscles play a key role in pulling the foot up, which is a key technical requirement for powerful and explosive ground contacts, for example.

COACHING SPRINTING

The faster you run, the more the hip-flexors play a partOn that subject researchers writing in the Journal of Orthopaedic and Sports Physical Therapy showed that when running speeds pass seven metres per second that the muscles which produce the most power shifts from the ankles to the hips.

Over 7m/sec the force generating capacity of the ankles becomes less effective and as top-end sprint speeds – around 11m/s for men at max velocity, for example – are reached the key aspect to build and maintain speed is the generation of leg speed to which the hips flexors are key.

It’s also the case that the faster you run the more the hamstrings contribute. Research in Frontiers of Physiology discovered that the sprinters who generated the greatest ground reaction forces, exhibited the greatest hamstring muscle activity just before ground contact compared to slower sprinters.

The faster sprinters had greater eccentric capability. An eccentric muscular action is a lengthening one – the stretch in the stretch-shortening-cycle. This muscular action applies the brakes on the lower leg when the sprinter’s foot stops moving forward and is pulled back to the track surface in readiness for ground contact.

However, recent research has indicated that another muscular action may be very important in the hamstrings when sprinting. Through research carried out by another leading light in running biomechanics, Frans Bosch, it’s suggested that the hamstrings actually employ more of an isometric function during the

sprint swing phase due to something known as “muscle slack”.

To ease understanding: think about dropping a weight attached to a piece of string while holding onto the end, as the weight falls it would seem to all apparent intents and purposes that the string is stretching. However, there will actually be a period when not much movement actually takes place. That is, when the slack is being taken up. This, the researchers argue, is akin to the muscle slack they refer to in the swing phase. As the weight comes to the end of its travel then the string will tighten and the weight will “jump” back. This jumping back is akin to the eccentric muscular action during the end of the sprinting swing phase. This led the researchers to suggest that “isometric, rather than eccentric exercises are a more specific way of conditioning the hamstrings for high speed running”.

Suitable exercises could include holding the weights (pads of the machine) in place

on a hamstring curl machine at various angles or the body when performing the Nordic hamstring exercise.

Train the right sprinting musclesDespite the research on the role of the hip flexors and extensors many sprinters don’t specifically train their hip muscles nor hamstrings significantly in a specific-to-sprinting way. Often there is a focus on squats and variations of the Olympic lifts in the weights room, which can be, for example, more quad and glute focussed.

Suitable hip conditioning exercises therefore include sprint drill type movements as well as resistance ones/weights ones. Examples of the former include those which focus on the pulling of the legs through and into ground contact in the running stride i.e. leg cycle drills (known by some coaches as “dribbling”) and work with resistance bands – that is, where the athlete, with their foot looped through a band, pulls the leg through from an extended position behind the body to a thigh parallel to the ground one in front. Some gyms will also have hip machines where, with the use of stirrup attachments it is possible to perform hip pull through type movements.

Other more general hip exercises include leg lifts of various types usually performed by hanging from a high bar. Medicine balls can also be used to develop hip power. Here the athlete holds a med ball in place on their mid-thigh region in two hands.

They then take the leg and ball back behind their body, keeping the ball in contact, and then project their hip forward (extend), while at the same time releasing the ball to project it forward.

High bars enable numerous hip (and abdominal) exercises to be performed

361 Degrees Sensation 3 Price: £119.99Stockist: 361europe.comNot too long ago, 361 was a new brand in the UK – now the third generation of their most popular model has been launched and it’s arguably their best yet. This shoe is a mild support one and is suitable for a wide range of athletes. It feels light on the foot given it’s such a well-cushioned shoe. This reflects the combination of materials used in the midsole which includes the brand’s proprietary technology – QU!KFOAM. QU!KFOAM – is a high shock absorbing material and is positioned in key areas of impact and it does a great job. A small medial post provides support and the midfoot shank works very well at providing control without excessive weight or bulk. A seamless mesh upper provides a neat breathable fit, which with midfoot straps incorporated into the lacing, also adds to the support.


PERFORMANCE


COACHING THROWS

SHOT putters may be large athletes but they are also incredibly

powerful and agile – witness, Commonwealth champion Tom Walsh, with his rotational technique and his massive put of 22.67m back in March. The Kiwi stands 1.83m tall and weighs 129kg.

Shot putters need their size in part in order to be able to “get behind” the implement – which for men hits the scales at 7.26kg. The linear glide technique is being supplanted by the rotational method more and more among many elite males. Agility is particularly key for this method of throwing together with of course power, speed and strength.

A team of Greek researchers writing in the International Journal of Sports Physiology & Performance looked specifically at rotational shot putters and weight gain across the training year. Eight national level throwers were involved in the study and the aim was to see whether weight gain (or loss) affected performance. Body composition (fat free mass, fat mass & bone mineral density) were determined at the start of training and just before a competitive period 12 weeks later.

Over the training phase the shot putters increased, for example, their shot performance by 6.5%. However, their body composition did not change. Basically, their early season

body composition was identical to that when they were at their best for throwing.

This lead the researchers to say: “These results suggest that the increase of fat-free mass might not be the most essential element for competition when the rotational shot put style is involved.”

Best way to condition novice throwersAs coaches we often have relatively young athletes to work with. There can be a conundrum in terms of how to go about developing specific event power and strength with this age group and especially with throwers.

Researchers from the Journal of Sports Science & Medicine took a look at whether a strength-based training programme or a ballistic (more power orientated) six-week training regime had superior results when it came to actual throwing.

SHOT PUTTERS’ SIZEAND STRENGTHDOES YOUR BODY COMPOSITION MATTER WHEN IT COMES TO THE SHOT PUT?

Polanik Unisex throw shoesPrice: £59Stockist: neuff.co.ukTHESE specialist shoes are designed to suit

both the glide and rotational shot techniques

plus those of discus and hammer throwers.

Two cross-over straps hold the foot firmly in

place. The shoes’ uppers are made from

synthetic fibre and synthetic leather and they have an EVA sole. Here the rubber

is flexible and adapts to the foot’s shape to provide comfort whilst throwing.

Seventeen male shot putters took part in the test and were divided into a strength and a power group. As well as throwing performance, the athletes were also tested on measures, such as a jumping ability, ballistic throwing and changes to muscle fibre type in the thigh.

Interestingly both the strength and power training shot putters achieved similar results in terms of throwing performance – 7.0-13.5% vs 6.0-11.5% respectively. In short, each group developed different physiological qualities but threw

similar distances – for example, the strength training throwers developed greater leg press ability compared to the power trainers, while the power training throwers improved more on the jump test.

Very interestingly when it came to muscle fibre changes all the strength group’s leg muscle fibres grew – so both slow twitch and fast twitch. However, for the power trainers only the fastest of fast twitch fibres did so, which led the researchers to conclude that: “These results suggest that shot put throwing performance can be increased similarly after six weeks of either strength or ballistic power training in novice throwers, but with dissimilar muscular adaptations.”

They also suggested that young shot putters with limited previous training could potentially benefit most from strength-based activities initially in a training phase leading to a competition and then more power orientated methods during the weeks prior to competition in order to elevate performance.

10K & HALF MARATHON | SUNDAY 20 MAY 2018


TOGETHERWE RUN

LIUD KIPCHOGE may have announced that defending his

Olympic title in Tokyo 2020 is very much at the front of his mind, but the marathon superstar has also admitted he would like to make another attempt at breaking the two-hour barrier for running 26.2 miles in future, writes Euan Crumley.

The Kenyan, who won his third Virgin Money London Marathon last weekend, only missed out on taking part in the 2017 event because of his involvement in Nike’s much-publicised Breaking2 project, in which he came incredibly close to ducking under the fabled mark with a time of 2:00:25 at Monza race track in Italy.

It is an experience and challenge he would like to repeat.

“I truly enjoyed the process and I am happy with the whole Breaking2 project,” says the 33-year-old. “It was really good for me to participate in and to show the world that everything is possible. Given a chance, I would do it (again), yes.

“I truly enjoy the idea of pushing the limits of the human body because it shows that, not just in sport but in other careers, everything is possible by stretching your limitations.”

Kipchoge has cited his long-time coach and mentor Patrick Sang as a key reason for his success and the former steeplechaser insists his star pupil still has potential to realise.

“After Monza I realised that an impossibility is only something that you can conceptualise as an impossibility. It’s not there otherwise,” says Sang, who admitted he had found his coaching abilities challenged like never before by the project.

“I think it came out of the experience in Monza. It was a big benefit to all of us.

“I think with a proper

timeframe and the ability to push some of these athletes, they still have reserves to exploit.”

In a press conference before the London Marathon last week, Kipchoge described himself as ‘the student’ and that Sang was still very much his teacher.

“Of course he knows most things, probably all of it, but I think in a journey when you are going along you always want to have somebody there for you and to support you,” said Sang, who also coaches the likes of world half-marathon champion Geoffrey Kamworor.

“I think in this case I’m always there for him and, even

though he knows everything, he likes that assurance.

“What we always look at in terms of being an inspiration is the way that somebody conducts themselves. If I have good values, and I don’t practice those values, then it does not provide any motivation to somebody who is looking up to you.

“I have always tried to live up to the expectations of the athletes. In a way that gives them motivation, too, if they see that you believe in them and there is something of value that you are giving to them.

“It’s not about money, it’s about human relations.”

KIPCHOGE WOULD TRYAGAIN TO BREAK TWO

MO FARAH showed plenty of bottle to go with the savage pace in last Sunday’s Virgin Money London Marathon but he was ironically missing the odd bottle of liquid fuel during the race when his drinks were mixed up with those of his rivals, writes Jason Henderson.

As a solution he says he may colour code them in an Arsenal design for his next marathon.

Coach Gary Lough, meanwhile, noted that there was a difference between grabbing drinks in practice during training runs and doing it in actual race conditions. “When you’re hitting those tables at

4:30 miling, you don’t really see very much,” said Lough.

The incidents during the race where Farah missed his drinks ended up making headlines, with volunteer officials accused of taking photos instead of focusing on their job.

But Farah still ran a UK record and made the podium and he hopes to build on this in future, with his next marathon likely in the autumn – possibly in New York City, Berlin or Chicago – followed by major championships in Doha next year – where races are due to take place at night – and Tokyo 2020.

Before then, he races 10km at the Simplyhealth Great Manchester Run on May 20 and also the Vitality London 10,000 on May 28.

After that, he goes head to head with Usain Bolt.

Not in a footrace, though, but in the Soccer Aid match at Old Trafford on June 10.

On his future marathons, Lough said: “London showed there’s a lot more to come and that the guy’s definitely got a lot of marathon potential.

“There’s some stuff he’s done that’s incredible and some stuff which we have to add.

“If you put Mo into a

championships environment, like next year in Doha and certainly in Tokyo, then I definitely think that Mo Farah should be someone that people have got major concerns about.”

On the drinks situation, he added: “He learned a lot of lessons today. In terms of drinking, when he’s by himself and drinking in a race, it’s completely different.”

Farah said: “On the track it took me a few years to get it right.

“You don’t win medals overnight and I believe it’s the same in the marathon.”

Mo Farah: had problems with picking up his bottles at drinks stations


THIS month marks 50 years since

the University of London organised

a race to the top of the BT tower.

It was supposed to be athletics’

answer in London to the Oxford-

Cambridge Boat Race. Sadly, that

dream died after the IRA bombed

the tower in 1971.

Fast forward to today and there

is new momentum to improve

university athletics in London.

Twenty-three university athletics

clubs are now part of London

Universities and Colleges Athletics

(LUCA), which acts as a mini

governing body, organising a

competition programme that

includes a cross country league,

indoor championships and

outdoor league.

President and King’s College

PhD student James Findon says:

“The aim of LUCA is to usher in a

golden era of university athletics

in London. Our competition

programme is part of this, but

we also have a responsibility to

develop our community and upskill

students to become club leaders,

officials and coaches.”

felt that ‘point’. It felt tough out there, but the marathon does feel tough when you get to 35km.”

On his plans for the future, he added: “I’ll do another marathon next year, but I don’t know which one yet. To be honest I don’t even know what

I’m going to be doing through the rest of this year yet.

“One thing I do know is that it’ll be focused on Tokyo in 2020 and trying to qualify for that.”

Hawkins also later told BBC Scotland that the sport might profit from a rule change whereby officials can step

in after athletes fall over in exhaustion more than once.

“Maybe there needs to be a rule put in that, after two falls or something, or so long that it looks like you’re not getting any better, there needs to be somebody to pull it like boxing,” he explained.

ONLINE retailer Pro:Direct Running has teamed up with the Night of the 10,000m PBs to create a unique bridge to allow spectators to cross the track so they can stand on the in-field.

Fans famously take ownership of lane three during the Highgate Harriers event at Parliament Hill in London but this new move will allow increased track access and promises to elevate the event’s already electric atmosphere.

Dan Prettejohn, Pro:Direct Running’s brand manager, said: “We’re incredibly grateful for this opportunity and I’m thankful to Ben Pochee (the organiser) for allowing us to be a part of the event in this way.

“Not only is it a great way of announcing that we’re serious about athletics, it allows us to connect people closer to the sport.”

The volunteer-powered celebration of 25-lap racing was established in 2013 with the twin goals of improving British racing standards and making 10,000m racing aspirational. It has incorporated the British Championships since 2014, when it was used as the trials for the European Championships, and was also used as the British Olympic trials in 2016 and World Trials in 2017.

“Night of the 10,000m PBs was born from a desire to improve racing standards and spectator engagement has become central to the event’s success,” says Pochee.

“It is for this reason why our 2018 partnership with Pro:Direct

to create a pedestrian bridge is pivotal. True engagement means offering spectators the chance to see the racing unfold from multiple angles and improved atmosphere will further assist athlete PBs.

“Our event is powered by volunteers,” he adds. “I’m a volunteer and the event is not for profit.

“Our vital partnership support is invested directly into improving the event.

“I believe operating without a profit-based philosophy frees us from the standard commercial shackles and allows the event greater freedom and ability to invest in our vital bank of goodwill.”■ See nightofthe10kpbs.com

ITY of Salisbury Athletics and Running Club finally made a

return to their home track and clubhouse last week after being locked out for five months.

Athletes from the club were stopped from using the facility by South Wilts Grammar School in November in a dispute over ownership and hiring fees.

The school houses the track on its grounds and claims it has spent tens of thousands of pounds on maintenance costs in recent years despite not making any money from it.

Arguments and ill feeling broke out when athletes turned up for training one night and found the gates locked, so they did a make-shift session in the car park instead.

Since then the row has rumbled on during the winter

but the club has now been allowed back into train, although an agreement has not yet been fully reached on fees.

“The fact that our athletes are back training on the track after such a long absence is wonderful and naturally we’re delighted also at the amount of support we’ve received from across the community in the five months we’ve been unable

to gain access,” said club chairman Lee Ness.

“But while two nights of track training has been agreed (for last week), it’s only a temporary fix. We’re still without a formal letter we’ve been promised by South Wilts Grammar School, setting out their terms for the club’s use of the track.

“Until we’ve seen it, we can’t be expected to enter

into an agreement – which is exactly the position we were in last November when Wiltshire Council handed over responsibility for the track to the school,” he added.

“The club can’t really relax and feel confident that the dispute is over until we know and understand the school’s demands and feel able to agree to them.”

DIAMOND LEAGUE KICKS OFF IN DOHA

HE Diamond League season for 2018 gets off to a flying start next

week in Doha when the Qatari city will stage a great women’s pole vault showdown, plus the appearance of Caster Semenya in the 1500m.

Doha is building up to host the 2019 IAAF World Championships, of course, and on Friday May 4 it holds the opening Diamond League of this season.

The pole vault sees Olympic and world champion Katerina Stefanidi of Greece taking on the world indoor gold medallist Sandi Morris of the United States and the Commonwealth Games one-two of Alysha Newman of Canada and Eliza McCartney of New Zealand.

British record-holder Holly Bradshaw is also set to compete in the big early summer clash.

Semenya of South Africa is coming off the back of her victories in the 800m and 1500m at the Gold Coast Games and in Doha over 1500m she faces Gudaf Tsegay of Ethopia, Winny Chebet of Kenya, Rababe Arafi of Morocco and Eunice Sum of Kenya.

Elsewhere, the men’s javelin will see Olympic champion Thomas Röhler of Germany against all three medallists from London 2017, which includes world champion and team-mate Johannes Vetter, plus Jakub Vadlejch and Petr Frydrych.

Also in the mix are reigning Olympic silver medallist, Julius Yego of Kenya, and 20-year-old Neeraj Chopra of India, the

ROAD RELAY MESSTO have teams coming in at the end of leg 11 at this month’s national 12-stage road relays and not to have their 12th man allowed to go out to attempt to gain places showed a lack of understanding of the passion that can surround our sport.

There was a lack of communication as to the timing of the mass starts for final long and short stage runners, which ended with only the top three teams competing in true relay fashion.

The 12th man mass start saw the athletes held for around 10 minutes before being released, during which time a good number of teams completed leg 11. However, we need to bear in mind that those who were officiating – and taking this decision – are volunteers giving up their time for us to enjoy our sport and

it took courage for the race referee to be prepared to face the anger of a number of team managers to explain the decision. His reasoning was sound – that there would be teams not finishing in less than six hours, so a long day for timekeepers and marshals, as well as teams getting home.

Fortunately, the weather was good. It was the execution of the decision that fell short of acceptability.

Let us hope lessons will be taken on board for future years but also to remember it falls to some to take difficult decisions which we might not like at the time. We might be the officials that have to take similar actions in the future.Paul Hayes, Coventry Godiva Harriersn The organisers have apologised on the ERRA website – Editor

SHORT-COURSE CROSSON gender equality of the distances in races, there is definitely a need for this in cross country.

My local league events are over a distance of 10km – a distance which is an achievement on the road, let alone on difficult terrain.

WORLD CUP DOUBTSALTHOUGH it is joyous news that the Athletics World Cup is coming to London in July, can it really be regarded as an authentic event?

There are no running events beyond 1500m, the largest element within our sport.

This discriminates against countries like Kenya (who have not even been invited to take part), whereas Jamaica is allowed to participate but shielded from its weakness in some of the most fundamental events of athletics.

Obviously seeing athletes lapped multiple times would not necessarily be “good box office” but surely you cannot have a team championship for athletics without having all the events?

Would it not be better to have separate men and women’s teams? There would be two sets of results to follow and more unpredictability on the eventual results.

Also isn’t it patronising to have mandatory women captains for all teams?

I was not aware we had a problem with sexism in competitive athletics and GB has selected a woman captain at championships on several occasions anyway, without compulsion?David Field, via email

GOOD FOR AGEMY delight at completing last week’s excellent Brighton Marathon in 3hr 4min turned to disappointment and anger when the London Marathon published changes to their good for age qualification (GFA) times and process the following morning.

I applaud the intention of getting more female runners entered via GFA times, but the timing could not have been worse – toward the end of spring marathon season. Many runners have worked toward one target only for the rules to change. In my case, overnight.

They claim that the changes provide parity with other World Marathon Majors GFA age bands, but even with the changes only Boston and New York actually use the same bands.

Spare a thought too for those (male and female) caught out because they’ve changed the age bands from age on race day, to the age when you set the time.

The final kick in the teeth – I gave up my Sunday to volunteer at this year’s race!

JOHN ANDERSON did not only coach Dave Moorcroft to a world 5000m record, but also helped many of the UK’s

leading blind and partially-sighted athletes during the 1980s. And the one athlete that stood out from the rest was Bob Matthews.

A talented athlete, with the capacity for hard work and a good racing brain, Bob had the abilities that enabled him to win some big championship races and run fast times. But it was much more than Bob’s athletic ability that really impressed me as his friend and guide runner.

When I started running together with Bob, it quickly became apparent what a talented man he was and how he’d learned to embrace his blindness in a positive, inspiring and sometimes amusing way.

Obviously, the most important thing for the guide runner is to be able to run as fast as the athlete and never cross the finish line ahead of them, whatever happens. But I made that fundamental mistake in one of our early races and got Bob disqualified from winning the UK 800m champs.

Straight afterwards, rather than being angry with me, he said: “Look, Tim. I know you’ve never won a UK Champs before, or got remotely close, with the likes of Coe, Ovett and Cram thrashing you every race, but just cos you out-dipped me here, it doesn’t mean you’ve won one now, either!”

He joked some more about it, then said: “Okay, I’ll forgive you, as long as you buy the beers when we get back home.”

There had been certain times training

together that I’d marvelled at the way Bob dealt with his lack of sight and used it in a positive way to achieve things that I couldn’t. On Sundays we used to do an hour steady training run around the smooth, flat, playing fields of Warwick School, with Bob’s guide dog, Quando, running free, having some time off the leash from guiding Bob. As we were lapping around one day, I saw Quando in the distance, bent down, nuzzling into the bottom of the thin rope nets around the grass tennis courts. There was a baby rabbit caught in a tangled mess, with its legs and body all wrapped up in the rope. We stopped, I told Bob what had happened and then I bent down to free

the rabbit. I worked out the best way to release it and then slowly and methodically started to unravel the knotted up rope.

But I soon realised that I was getting nowhere, as the poor little rabbit was so tightly wrapped up in the rope that I could see that the only way to free it would be by cutting some of the rope, which was binding it into this contorted mess.

So I told Bob to wait there, while I sprinted to the caretaker’s cottage, who lent me some scissors to cut the rabbit free. As I ran back with the scissors I saw Bob crouched down in front of it and suddenly the rabbit leapt free!

He’d just slowly and logically felt his

way around the problem and untangled the rope, which was something a sighted man, like myself, certainly couldn’t do, or thought I couldn’t do!

The lesson I learnt that day from Bob was that sometimes your sight, your vision and imagination can set limits in what you think you can do and achieve.

When Bob and I went to race the European 1500m champs in Lisbon, I realised too that it’s not just what you see that affects and limits your thinking, but also what you think you see.

We were sharing a room in the hotel, with the single beds the usual few feet apart, with Bob’s nearest to the window and mine closer to the bathroom. I woke early on race day, just as it was starting to get light outside, went to the toilet and then straight back to bed to try to get some more sleep. As I was trying to get back to sleep I was aware of some movement from Bobs bed and hoped I hadn’t woken him up by nipping to the bathroom. So I squinted open my eyes to see Bob’s bed, silhouetted in the half-light, with some rustling of the bed sheets going on, half way down his bed, around waist height.

I turned my head back away from his bed and stuck my head under my pillow. But now my mind was active and I was aware of this rustling noise coming from

Bob’s bed and it was annoying me a bit as I couldn’t get back to sleep. I lay there for a few minutes and then turned back over again and half-opened my eyes in the direction of Bob’s bed, with the slightly brighter morning light now coming into our room and making things clearer. And what I saw was what I thought I’d seen, the bed clothes around his waist height were moving around, side to side, and up and down, so I said: “Bob, we’ve got the race today, what you doing!?”

His reply was short and sweet: “Reading.” “What?” I exclaimed. He repeated what he’d said: “Reading.” And then after my second, and more incredulous “reading what?” he pulled down his covers to reveal a big braille book on his lap, where his hands had been busily reading the book, as he lay down in bed.

I laughed, but felt such an idiot for questioning him, as I should have really known, or certainly thought about things differently, without the restrictions, and small mindedness, I had of being sighted. But we had a great laugh about it, and I think it helped us go into the race later on in a more relaxed frame of mind.

That European champs 1500m in Lisbon was one where I learned that Bob’s lack of sight could also hold him back psychologically at times, but not enough to prevent him from becoming a champion. When we were warming up I could see that Bob was the supreme athlete there, among all of our competitors, to my eyes, with the others being under-trained, ill-prepared runners, in my opinion. But all Bob could see was nothing. And all he knew was

that he was in the final of the European championship 1500m, a huge race and massive occasion for him that he’d been training hard for long time.

Because he was not blessed with much self-confidence, he nervously started talking about all his great rivals from Spain and Portugal, so I had to reassure him that he was the man to beat. Although had Bob been able to see what I could see, he’d have had much more confidence, and been eager for the gun to go.

When it did, he was transformed and we went off really well, with me now taking on the role of not just the guide-runner, but the commentator too, because otherwise a blind man doesn’t know where he is in the race, or exactly what to do, and when. But as the race went on, Bob was running stronger and stronger, until we moved on to the shoulder of the leader, his main rival, at the bell.

That noise, the ringing of the last lap bell, is always a boost for any athlete, but is maybe more so for an blind athlete, with the way their senses are developed, because it certainly acted like an electric shock to Bob! The way he just kicked and took off with a lap to go was mightily impressive.

He hit the front down the back straight and kept piling it on all the way round the final bend, to power home down the final straight and win the European 1500m title – another significant win in the glittering career of Bob Matthews MBE.

FOR SO many people, in the UK and worldwide, running is an escape from the monotony of everyday life. It’s a chance

to break free from the chains of society and be at one with your thoughts.

But it is possible to lose enjoyment of the sport. Indeed, when this happens many will decide to hang up their trainers when the love goes, although the sad truth is many of those cases could be avoided.

It comes down to understanding the motivation of these individuals. Running is inherently filled with highs and lows – and some people just aren’t suited to it, which is understandable!

There are many, though, who don’t fully analyse why running no longer interests them. Ironically, you could ask any athlete why they run and they’ll most likely shrug their shoulders and say something like “I’ve always done it”. However, these athletes are rarely unhappy in the sport; their enjoyment of it is purely a subtle and unexplained one. But it exists!

People partake in athletics for many different reasons. To mention a few, it can be to meet people and socialise, for personal satisfaction in running a certain distance quicker than before, or to

complete the challenge of a difficult event. Maybe it’s the desire to get into those jeans that don’t fit you anymore! But the common theme to all of these should be enjoyment, or at least a sense of well-being and satisfaction for achieving your goal.

AW published an article last month on club running in the UK and it reminded me of how important it is to our sport. From a young age, going to the track to do sessions with my peers has been the highlight of my week and I’ve built some lifelong friendships from it. It’s a key part of enjoying the sport and I would highly

recommend getting involved in your club, both as an athlete and a volunteer (if time permits!) I managed the men’s part of the Southern Athletics League team (as an athlete-manager) at my old club and found it a valuable experience.

On the topic of club athletics, the National 6 and 12 stage relays took centre stage in the UK the weekend before last, with the Southern relays medals also contested due to cancellation of the latter event because of the snow. My club, Southampton AC finished 10th and a bittersweet 5th in the Southern event.

Alex Teuten: feels the club environment is vital to enjoying the sport and

improving as an athlete

The cohesion of the group I train with, who are the spine of our relay team really adds to our performances and make these sorts of events really enjoyable. It’s a rare occurrence of a team event in a largely solitary sport in terms of competition. It also falls kindly on the fixture calendar, which is important. I’ve always tried to get involved with club events as much as possible in my career, but at times I’ve come a bit unstuck from that, for reasons I will explain.

As an athlete, it is very easy to race too frequently and lose focus and motivation. While one can recover within a few days in the physical sense, it can take significantly longer to recharge the “mental batteries” as a friend described it. This holds particular truth for the championship races, prior to which athletes invest a lot of mental energy to maximise their performance.

I know that’s true for me; appreciating the significance of an event means I’m likely to put that little bit more into it. However, doing this week-in, week-out can be really

draining and ultimately leads to what many refer to as “burning out”.

I know first-hand what that’s like; it happened to me this season after the Great Edinburgh XCountry, my second GB vest. I didn’t rest over Christmas, instead putting in heavy mileage, pausing only briefly to recover from the flu. It didn’t impact on me physically: I felt in great shape and hadn’t picked up any niggles, but I wasn’t mentally prepared for the challenges that lay ahead for the rest of winter.

It’s not something you really think about, but preparing to race should be as much a mental task is it is a physical one, and I’ve come to realise the need to rest your legs simply to let your brain recover (as silly as that sounds)!

So be mindful of the busy race calendar and plan sensibly; I try to get the major ones in and combine with club level events where I can. One also mustn’t disregard that lifestyle plays a part in our running too; other commitments add stress and so don’t

be afraid to ease back from training a little during these times.

I know when my head’s not in it and I can’t give 100% during a session but that’s part of it if one isn’t pro. Don’t panic; just plan your training and racing around it to minimise the disruption to your plan.

As a final point, I’ll return to my earlier question: why do I run? As contentious as this sounds, I run because I take pride in inspiring others. I’m not the most inspiring of people in terms of what I’ve achieved, but experiencing the buzz of enthusiasm from friends and loved ones, and the pride felt by those who have supported me through good times and bad, that’s what does it for me. Also, being able to eat the occasional piece of cake guilt-free!

OVERSEASRESULTSOVERSEAS

AUSTRIAVienna City Marathon, April 22SALAHEDDINE BOUNASSER won in very warm weather conditions as the Moroccan clocked a PB of 2:09:29.

As last year, Ishmael Bushendich finished runner-up. The Kenyan ran 2:10:03 while fellow countryman Samwel Maswai took third in 2:11:08. World record-holder Dennis Kimetto dropped out before the 25km mark.

Nancy Kiprop retained her women’s title with a time of 2:24:18, a PB by two seconds.

It was only in the final part of the race when the Kenyan slowed and missed breaking the course record of 2:23:47. Ethiopia’s Melesech Tsegaye and Celestine Chepchirchir of Kenya followed with 2:29:51 and 2:30:39 in second and third respectively.

Adding running events staged parallel to the marathon, a total of 41,919 athletes from 130 nations participated with 8,300 of them competing over the classic distance of 42.195km.

In the men’s race, a 10km split of 30:25 was followed by a half-marathon time of 64:39. Seven runners formed the first group, running behind three pacemakers.

Kimetto, who ran 2:02:57 in Berlin in 2014, was in the lead group but lost contact at around 22km. Soon a big gap opened and Kimetto was limping. A muscle problem in his left calf forced him to stop before the 25km mark.

After the last pacemaker Noah Kigen dropped back at 30km (1:31:50) – he continued to finish fifth – Bushendich took the initiative. He left behind all but Bounasser, who followed the Kenyan before storming away with two miles to go.

Bounasser improved his PB by 35 seconds. “I thought I had a chance to get into the top three, but not to win,” said the Moroccan.

The women’s leading group was going for the 18-year-old course record of Italy’s Maura Viceconte and it looked very promising for much of the race.

However after a 10km split of 33:54 and then 50:40 for 15km it was the fastest woman on the start list who could not keep up. Ethiopia’s Helen Tola dropped back shortly before 20km and then stopped before 30km.

Three runners – Kiprop, Chepchirchir and Fatuma Sado – were in the lead at halfway, which they reached in 1:11:47. Ethiopia’s Sado was then dropped shortly before the 25km mark. The two Kenyans were running together for the next 5km section and passed 30km in 1:41:29, which pointed to a finishing time of 2:22:45. But then Chepchirchir faltered and Kiprop, running all on her own, could not keep up the pace. “I am happy to have won again in Vienna. Unfortunately it was too hot to break the course record,” said 38-year-old Kiprop.

IRELANDIrish Life Health National Road Relays, Raheny, April 22DSD’s women and Raheny Shamrock’s men won pulsating races as the sun peered in and out throughout the day with gusty winds curtailing fast times but that didn’t stop some really great racing on

the one-lap circuit in North Dublin. Rachel Gibson forged a lead for North Down in the senior women’s four-mile relay (one mile/two mile/one mile format) on the first leg with Jessica Craig putting them further ahead on the second leg.

However, Meghan Ryan made a great turnaround for DSD on the last leg to bag them the gold by eight seconds in 21:34. Linda Byrne and Fiona Clinton made up the golden trio. North Down had to settle for silver, with Dublin City Harriers third.

There was a see-saw battle in the senior men’s eight-mile relay (over legs of two mile/one mile/three mile/two mile) with Raheny Shamrock eventually holding out in 37:47 by 23 seconds with DSD and Kilkenny City Harriers taking the other medals.

Kieran Kelly and Eoin Strutt had put Raheny into a commanding lead but DSD’s Hiko Hoso Tonosa clawed back Mick Clohisey on the three-mile leg to give John Eves the lead on the final leg.

He could do nothing to prevent a strong charge from Conor Dooney, though, who made it a hat-trick of wins for the Shamrocks after anchoring them to victory for the second year in succession.

The masters’ women were the first race of the day and Finn Valley dominated the four-mile relay (one mile/two mile/one mile) with a brilliant two-mile leg by Teresa Doherty splitting 10:48. She won gold alongside Catriona Devine and Marie Harper. Newbridge came in second and Crusaders were third.

The masters’ men were next and there was a thrilling finish in the M35 four-mile race where Tristan Druet struck gold for Donore Harriers, holding off Letterkenny’s fast-finishing Ciaran Doherty and Rathfarnham’s Paul Fleming. Donore Harriers took the gold in 19:32 with Druet backed up by Emmet O’Briain and Rossa Hurley.

HOT RACESJUST 24 hours after the Virgin Money London Marathon it had cooled down and the running conditions were reasonable.

All those who suffered in the heat at London and had their half-marathon cancelled because of snow in March must have thought life is not always fair.

London marked my 43rd year of consecutive marathoning and it was probably the worst conditions I’ve run in, although the crowds and organisation were superb from what I saw.

A few water stations may have run out but it’s worth noting that when I did my early marathons, you would have been disqualified under the stringent rules had you taken a drink more than every 5km!

On another point, do we need separate start times for elite women, if male pacemakers are running?

Some 35 years ago the leading women did not make the top 200 and TV cameras would have struggled to pick them out among the men.

In 2018, just 14 men ran quicker than Vivian Cheruiyot. Women could still have a separate start and join at 5km but no separate elite women’s start time could mean the masses start earlier and spend less time in the hottest part of the day.

PARKRUN

APRIL 21parkrun 5kmCLARE ELMS, who decided not to risk the London Marathon due to a foot injury, gained her 138th parkrun first finish to maintain her 100% record at Burgess Park but had a tough run to hold on to fast-starting junior international and former English Schools 3000m champion Jess Keane, 36 years her junior.

Keane eventually faded to third having just returned from altitude training with Birmingham University.

Fellow masters international winner Ben Reynolds had the top male age-grading at Abingdon while fellow top vets Ros Tabor, Philippa Taylor and recent world record-setter Guy Bracken completed the top five.

National champion Adam Hickey was the fastest male on the day with a 14:42 at Southend.Leading age-gradedBurgess: C Elms 18:08 W50 95.27%; Abingdon: B Reynolds 16:58 M50 89.68%; Clapham Common: R Tabor 23:16 W65 88.28%; Peterborough: P Taylor 18:44 W50 88.20%; Whitley Bay: G Bracken 17:47 M55 86.93%; Raphael: B Nordin 21:38 W60 86.74%; Upton House: D Cooper 17:25 M50 86.68%; Stretford: D Lockett 17:23 M50 86.18%; Haigh Woodland: J Taylor 20:47 W55 86.05%; Glasgow: G Kinloch 21:03 W55 85.97%; Strathclyde: A McLinden 19:44 M65 85.87%; Victoria Dock: P Reddaway 18:18 M55 85.84%; Dulwich: T Armoush 17:15 SW 85.60%; Eastville: S Everitt 19:33 W50 85.44%; Vogrie: J Farquhar 18:33 M55 85.38%; Belton House: L Taylor 15:13 SM 85.32%; Ellenbrook Fields: V Pritchard 17:21 SW 85.20%; Mole Valley: A Soane 19:30 M60 84.68%; Stretford: W Beauchamp 15:25 SM 84.66%; Bexley: A Camp 19:01 M60 84.66%; Sittingbourne: G Saker 18:17 M55 84.55%; Hackney Marshes: D Dixon 17:56 M50 84.18%; Bryn Bach: L Aherne 17:40 M50 84.14%; Nonsuch: S Bean 18:50 M55 84.09%; Edinburgh: L Dickson 17:51 U18W 84.07%; Heaton: J Kovacs 16:47 M40 84.06%

THIS YEAR’S race, being run for the 31st time, sees a controversial move

to April from the usual late May date to avoid the European Masters Non Stadia Championships in Alicante.

Coming six days after the London Marathon, some clubs have found it hard to get all their top runners to participate.

The women’s race – featuring the W35 (four stages), W45, W55 and W65 plus the men’s M75 (each of three stages) races begin at 10.30am.

The M55 and M65 (also three legs) starts at 12.25pm and the M35 and M45, over six and four legs respectively, starts at 2pm.

Last year’s M35 champions Kent AC are among the absentees but the other medallists Tipton and Salford return in an age group with a healthy 50 entries.

There is a similar entry in the M45 age group where last year Thames Hare & Hounds and Preston fought a close race. The Southern team came out on top and both teams are entered again.

South London Harriers were easy winners of the M55 crown last year and will again start favourites, with Cambuslang again most likely to challenge as 44 teams go here.

Oxford have long dominated the M65 age group and will be out to defend their title in a race with 19 entries.

Bristol & West could be a factor if masters international winner Nick Rose lines up in their trio.

Just five clubs and four teams go in the M75 age group,

including defending champions Bingley.

Last year’s W35 champions South London also return, as do runners-up Salford but surprising absentees will be eternal medallists Telford, for whom Clare Martin has often been the fastest leg. 40 teams are entered here.

The 2017 W45 top two also return, with Bristol & West sure to put up a strong defence.

Runners-up Dulwich should again challenge with multi fastest leg winner Clare Elms

keen to do well in her last year in the age group.

Bronze medallists Telford should also be in the mix with 2017 fastest Michelle Clarke amongst their squad.

Last year Dulwich won the W55s but they don’t have a team this year. However, runners-up Burnden line up with Les Croupiers possibly their biggest challenger.

Last year’s W65 winners Wold Vets will be big favourites in their age group after a five-minute win last year.

Due to several issues with the road down to Streetley Gate, there has been a change in the course with a left-hand loop similar to the 12-stage short course, being inserted before the big hill and the turn will now come at the Jamboree Stone.

Due to the clash with other events and the new date, organisers are light on officials and marshals and are asking if unselected or injured athletes or supporters could assist and are willing to pay travelling expenses and provide drinks and snacks throughout the day of the event.

STIRLING’S SECOND COMINGANDREW LEMONCELLO became the first ever winner of the Stirling Scottish Marathon when he sped to victory in 2:25:01 last year.

This coming weekend, the race will be on to see who can succeed him – with Scottish Marathon Championships honours also up for grabs,

not to mention prize money of £1000 to each male and female winner, as well as £1400 available in team prize money.

Michael Wright of Stirling-based Central Athletics Club will be aiming to make his local knowledge count on the picturesque course.

The likes of Patryk Gierjatowicz of Hunter’s Bog Trotters and Inverness Harriers’ Donnie Macdonald are also expected to challenge.

The women’s entries are led by Inverclyde’s Julie Gordon, Fife’s Alison McGill and Rhona Anderson from Dunbar Running Club.

DIP FINISH CRAZINESS AND CONTROVERSY IN THE WORLD OF ATHLETICS

ARUNNER dressed as Forrest Gump proved the fastest in last weekend’s

Virgin Money London Marathon when it came to the people who attempted to break Guinness world records in fancy dress costumes.

Rob Pope set a record for the fastest marathon in film costume as he took to the streets of London dressed as the character that Tom Hanks made famous in the 1994 movie and he clocked an impressive 2:36:28.

Pope has embarked on a mission over the last 18 months to recreate Forrest Gump’s run across America and he has been clocking up 40 miles a day. Having conquered London, raising funds for WWF and Peace Direct, he headed back to Arizona this week to complete his quest.

Pope was one of 34 Guinness world record-breakers with others including:• Matt Berry (right), fastest men’s marathon in a wedding dress (male) – 2:55:52.• David Stoneman, fastest marathon dressed in pyjamas – 3:07:09.

• Michael Odell and Guy Dunscombe, fastest marathon in a two-person costume (horse and jockey) – 3:25:17.

• Charlotte Österman, fastest marathon dressed as a zombie – 3:39:25.• Stacey Harper, fastest marathon dressed as Elvis – 3:53:56.• Bethan Roberts, fastest marathon dressed as a dragon – 3:58:53.• Victoria Bell, fastest marathon dressed as an emoji (poo) – 4:18:06.• Megan Walker, Ceyhun Uzun, Andrew Sharpe, Holly Bishop, Frederick Holland and Richard Scantlebury, fastest marathon in a six-person costume – 6:20:48.• Michelle Frost (far left), fastest marathon on stilts – 6:37:38.

WHEN Callum Hawkins was asked last

weekend about how to handle the heat

runners would endure during the London

Marathon, he was both the best and worst

person to answer.

The Scottish runner had endured

the conditions in dramatic style in the

Commonwealth Games marathon when he

collapsed at 40km with heat exhaustion.

So he could not help smiling when he

was ironically asked for his tips for runners

on the eve of Sunday’s London Marathon at a

New Balance event near Piccadilly Circus on

Saturday.

“I found out the hard way last weekend

to be honest!” he grinned. “Just make sure

you adjust your pace and don’t keep pushing

like I did!”

AN online poll on the eve of the London Marathon about Mo Farah’s likely finishing time saw most people correctly predicting his result.

A total of 13% suggested he would ‘DNF’, while 31% felt he would finish outside the UK record of 2:07:13 and a more optimistic 14% thought he would break the European record of 2:05:48.

But 42% of people in the poll thought he would break the British record – and they proved correct.
