EDITORS COMMENT
Never stand still ...

FROM the IAAF World Relays in the Bahamas to the Great
CityGames in Manchester, innovation is the name of the
game in the quest to breathe fresh life into the ancient
A T H L E T I C S
sport of athletics.
W
E
E
K
L
Y
Street athletics and relay extravaganzas have proved
popular, but why stop there? Other ideas include:
Scrapping relay changeover zones and letting a team
vary the distance that its athletes run.
Long and triple jumps measured from take-off rather
than a board. Or pole vaults for distance, not height.
Runners wearing weighted vests, similar to
handicapping in horse racing.
Athletes, especially throwers, competing in boxingJason Henderson,
style weight categories.
Editor
Mixed sex competitions or events between athletes of
different ages using a handicap system. For example,
parents over the age of 40 taking on their children aged under-15.
Sprinters tested for maximum speed in a speed trap test instead of racing from A to B.
Bring back discontinued events like standing jumps or javelin with a spinning technique.
High jumpers judged on how many centimetres they can leap over their own height.
Shot putters using two hands instead of one. Or athletes in heavy throws stepping out of
the traditional circle and letting go of their implement from behind a line.
Some of the above ideas might be daft, but arent they worth a try?
The United States first win over Jamaica in a mens 4x100m final since 2007 in the
Bahamas last weekend left a bad taste in the mouth. Three of the American quartet, Justin
Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Mike Rodgers, plus team coach Dennis Mitchell, have failed drugs
tests in the past. Not everyone enjoyed seeing anchorman Ryan Baileys cut-throat version
of Usain Bolts lightning pose either.

SPRINTS: EUROPEAN 200M SECOND-PLACER WILL MAKE DELAYED SEASON DEBUT
Williams wants to get off to a flyer

MAYBE Richard Kilty should
not blame sprinters for
missing the IAAF World
Relays (see below) and we
should instead criticise
British Athletics for not
having made
participation
in the event a
condition of
funding.
Those who
are not happy
with the high
percentage
of funded
athletes
who are sprinters, courtesy
of the high chances of
relay championship
medals compared to other
disciplines, will be arguing
that the least they can
expect from the governing
bodys investment is
for them to take every
opportunity to practise for
and qualify for the major
championships.

Bolt to race in Ostrava
Jodie Williams (left) faced Allyson Felix in 2013 at the CityGames
She will be keen to build on

her breakthrough season as a
senior in 2014 when she won
Commonwealth and European
silver, the latter with 22.46, which
took her to second on the UK alltime list.
The first race is always the
most nerve-racking, she said.
You know roughly what kind of
shape youre going to be in from
your training but sometimes it
doesnt go as planned. That first
race is the one to tell you where
you are and what you need to work

on. Its always scary, but exciting
at the same time.
Because of this minor injury
Im not putting too much pressure
on myself, she said. I just want
to go out there and hopefully race
well.
The quickest time by a British
athlete is the 16.63 by Anyika
Onuora at the 2013 edition of the
event. Williams will be looking to
improve on the 16.81 she clocked
in the same race.
Kilty slams relay absentees

WORLD and European indoor
60m champion Richard Kilty has
criticised some of his fellow GB
sprinters for failing to compete
at the IAAF World Relays in
Bahamas last week where
Olympic qualification was at
stake.
A Kilty-anchored quartet
narrowly missed out on a place
in the final, which would have
earned Britain an automatic place
at the Rio Games next year.
Harry Aikines-Aryeetey, James
Dasaolu, Adam Gemili and
Chijindu Ujah were missing as
Britain clocked just 38.79.

USAIN BOLT will compete in the 200m

in Ostrava on May 26.
It will be his seventh appearance in
the Czech city and he will be hoping
to follow his two victories there in the
half-lap event.
Other upcoming appearances for
the worlds fastest man include the
adidas Grand Prix in New York on June
13, Paris on July 4 and Lausanne on July
9 all Diamond League events.
Bolt is also to star in a featurelength documentary following his
preparations for the Rio Olympics.
Directed by a Briitish company,
cameras will begin following the
Jamaican this month as he tries to
build on his six Olympic golds in Beijing
and London.
EUROPEAN 200m silver medallist

Jodie Williams is looking forward
to making a delayed start to her
season at the Great CityGames
Manchester this Saturday.
The former world junior
champion had been due to
compete for Britain at the IAAF
World Relays in the Bahamas
last weekend but withdrew as
a precaution owing to a small
hamstring tear suffered while
training in Florida.
Over the rarely contested
distance of 150m, Williams will
take on the Dutchwoman who beat
her in Zurich, Dafne Schippers.
Unfortunately I got a minor
hamstring tear about two weeks
ago which has fully recovered
now, but we just thought it was
going to be too much of a risk,
said Williams. If anything did
happen when I was out there then
I could have let the whole team
down and we didnt want that to
happen so I pulled out, more as a
precaution really. But it will be fine
for Manchester.
In her absence, the GB quartet
took third with 42.84 behind
Jamaica and USA (see p24).
MARK SHEARMAN
A missed chance?
aspirations but we have a

massive, massive chance to
win a medal in Rio and more of
a chance than we have in the
individual, said Kilty.
Theres three big names at
home who I think have let us
down a little bit. They all have
their reasons for not coming
but whats more important than
qualifying for Rio automatically?
I dont think anythings more
important this year.
Gemili was focusing on exams,
while minor injuries were also
cited as a reason for absences
when the team was named.

ROAD RUNNING: AMERICAN TO HAVE CRACK AT RIVALS RECORD IN THE BATTLE OF THE GREATS IN MANCHESTER
Lagat chasing Gebrselassies world vets mark

MARK SHEARMAN
BERNARD LAGAT, the second

fastest 1500m runner in history,
has pledged to have a crack at the
world over-40 record of 28:00,
which Haile Gebrselassie clocked
when finishing third in Manchester
in 2013.
Its a really quick time but
it is good to have something to
shoot at, said Lagat, ahead of the
Morrisons Great Manchester Run
on Sunday. Im excited by the
fact that Ill be running with Haile.
I think Ive only raced against him
once before.
The pair went head to head over
3000m in the 2004 Boston Indoor
Games, Gebselassie winning and
Lagat finishing fourth.
Its awesome that we can run
together one more time before
Bernard
Lagat:
seeking to
beat 28:00
I retire and before Haile retires,

said Lagat. Its huge for the sport
that we have runners still racing at
the highest level into their forties.
It shows that if you work hard

and prioritise and take care of
yourself you can achieve anything
and go on as long as you can.
Lagat, three times winner of

the world indoor 3000m title, has
competed in two 5km races on the
road and in one half-marathon but
10km will be a new distance.
Despite joining the ranks of the
forty-somethings in December,
he remains one of the worlds
leading middle and long-distance
runners. Only last year he won a
3000m silver at the IAAF World
Indoor Championships in Poland
and during the 2015 indoor season
he set six world masters records in
the space of 18 days.
Lagat has his sights on
what would be a fifth Olympic
appearance in Rio next year as
well as the 5000m at the IAAF
World Championships in Beijing in
August this year.
Twin cities team up to get more people running

TEAMS from four European cities
took part in the first Birmingham
European capital of Running 10km
Cup last weekend as part of the city
councils programme to get people
active.
Held in conjunction with the Great
Birmingham Run, it was part of the
citys drive to become the European
capital of running.
Birminghams twin cities of
Frankfurt, Leipzig, Lyon and Milan,
were represented by three male and
three female club runners in the
event which was organised by the

Great Run Company.
Steve Hollingworth, assistant
director for sport, events and parks
at Birmingham City Council, said:
Following the successful Sport
England Award for the transformation
of running in Birmingham, the city is
pleased to continue working with the
Great Run Company. Our aim is to
deliver this new mass-participation
running event, and establish the
Birmingham European Capital of
Running Team 10km Cup as part of a
wide range of activities designed to

encourage and attract Birmingham
people that are new to running.
Birmingham City Council and
Sport England are to invest almost
3 million into running over the
next three years, partly as a way of
combatting obesity.
They are hoping to see 5000
currently inactive individuals take
up running and another 15,000
sporadically active people to regularly
participate.
Andy Paul, chairman of Birchfield
The Complete Athletics Travel Service
Harriers, Birminghams leading

athletics club, admitted the claim to
be the European capital of running
may raise eyebrows but said: We
already have a lot of people running
here at every level, from those who
just want to stay fit and have no desire
to compete, to elite athletes.
Birchfield Harriers is arguably the
best club in the country and we have
produced some great runners over
the years. But we can do much more.
There is a huge issue with obesity and
inactivity in the city.

Barry tracks future in doubt over football plans

Jenner Park: proposals for the inner football pitch could affect the track

to competitions. You cannot throw

It added: Our coaches and

Barry & Vale Harriers are

are not opposed to a 3G pitch for

A report from the council
insisted: It can be confirmed that
JO CARTER
A PETITION has been set up to

oppose plans to upgrade the
football pitch in the middle of
Jenner Park Athletics Track in
Barry after a local club has said
they would have devastating
effects on athletics in the area.
Vale of Glamorgan Council want
to turn Barry Town United Football
Clubs pitch into the artificial 3G
type following waterlogging issues
in recent seasons.
However, an online petition
launched by Barry & Vale Harriers
members and subs secretary
Joanne Carter, says the plans
would mean an end to the clubs
100-year-plus association with the
site.
Although the track would be
maintained, the club says it could
be cut from eight lanes to six with
an impact on field facilities.
The petition claims: None of
the 400m track would remain in

any redevelopment.
It is also expected that all the
existing athletic field sports can be
maintained at Jenner, albeit some
would not meet competition
standards.
The plans have also met with
opposition from some members
of the football community. More
than 100 coaches from across the
Vale of Glamorgan have signed a
petition saying the 500,000 cost
of upgrade the pitch would be
better invested in developing
grassroots football and urging the
council to instead install it at
Colcot Sports Centre where it
could better be utilised by the
lower echelons.
When AW went to press on
Tuesday, the Barry Vale Harriers
petition has been signed by 553. It

Bunner receives award Kirby recognised by Blackburn

GEORGE BUNNER was recently
awarded the Frank Starkie Memorial
Trophy by the British Association of
Track and Field Leagues.
He received the award at the UK
Sportshall Final in Manchester in
recognition of his founding of the kids
form of athletics.
Bunner received the award for
services to league officiating, having
been involved in athletics most of his
82 years.
George Bunner (left): with BATFL

secretary Alan Johnson in Manchester
Winner of a AAA junior 880 yards

title in 1950, he went on to form the
Cheshire League, which in providing
competition to male and female
athletes from under-11s to senior was
considered to be quite revolutionary
at the time.
It has now grown to 21 clubs, who in
some meetings attract a total of more
than 400 athletes.
Since 1976 thousands of youngsters,
including eventual international stars
as Robbie Grabarz and Denise Lewis,
enjoyed their first taste of the sport
in Sportshall Athletics, which Bunner
founded.
He is recogised internationally as a
leading authority on the development
of childrens athletics and some of his
more recent innovations include the
World Marathon Challenge, in which
last year more than 50,000 athletes
from more than 60 countries tried to
beat the 26.2-mile world records in a
relay.
In 2002 he was awarded an MBE for
services to athletics.
BLACKBURN HARRIERS recently

recognised the work of its club
president George Kirby by naming its
new spectator stand after him.
Athletes past and present, as well
as family and friends, were present at
the naming ceremony at Witton Park,
Blackburn.
The Lancashire club said: It is
fitting that Georges contribution

to athletics not only at the Harriers

official, to education in the borough

HAMMER: LOUGHBOROUGH ATHLETE THANKS GLASGOW MEDALLIST FOR SUPPORT
Campbell aiming for European medal

WORKING with Commonwealth
bronze medallist Mark Dry since
arriving in Loughborough helped
Taylor Campbell to a UK junior
hammer mark last weekend.
The Loughborough student
took hammer gold at the BUCS
Championships in Bedford with
69.39m to throw further than any
other British junior with the senior
7.26kg implement.
Although the 6kg has been the
standard weight for junior
competition this century,
historically under-20s threw the
senior implement and Campbell
surpassed the 67.48m set by Paul
Head in 1984.
Campbell said: Ive only gone
back on to the senior hammer for
BUCS so Ive only had four or five
days of throwing with it and I
wasnt really getting the rhythm
and timing together that I had
with the 6kg.
And that showed in the
competition because up until
round four I wasnt really hitting
the throws. So I wasnt expecting
that distance, although after that I
thought there was a lot more
there.
Campbell had already begun
the season by adding 14
centimetres to the national 6kg
record held by Alex Smith with
76.81m and is now targeting a
European junior record this
summer.
Hes made it really

easy for me in terms of
sorting out hammers,
getting me into the
facility, just making
life easy for me and
watching my
throwing in training

Track certification
overhauled
Taylor Campbell: looking for 80m with the junior weight this year
A medal at the European

Juniors would be a good step,
said Campbell, who wants to
improve his UK national mark to
80m-plus. Not just for me but for
British throwing in general. A
European medal in throwing is just
as good as a world medal.
Last September he started
studying for a sports science
foundation degree at Loughborough
College where he has been
fortunate to benefit from the
advice of Dry and, more latterly,
70-metre thrower John Pearson.
While full of praise for the work
of his coach, Paul Dickenson,
Campbell said: Mark Dry has
probably gone beyond the [normal
scope] of a training partner to help
me out to get me to settle into
Loughborough. Hes made it really
easy for me in terms of sorting out
hammers, getting me into the
facility, just making life easy for me
and watching my throwing in
training. I didnt expect him to help
out in as much detail as he did.
Campbell knows he will not
make a fortune from hammer
throwing, which could be
described as the Cinderella event

of athletics.
Like many of his contemporaries,
he has complained about the
hammer not being part of the
lucrative and high-profile
Diamond League.
Hopefully Ill be on the funding
soon, but its not a great deal of
money,he said. Itll pay for your
accommodation and living. But if
you want to make it youve got to
accept thats going to happen.
You cant expect to make loads of
money in an event thats not
publicised well.
Im still a million miles away
from the sprinters, etc. Ive grown
to expect Im not going to make
any money or have a huge career
unless it goes really really well. So I
have to plan security and try to put
myself in the best position for the
next 10 years or whatever, when I
would be 28, which is still young
for a thrower.
Hammer throwers are not in it
for the money, as he points out: I
love the event, but Im not so keen
on the sport. Its not treated well
within the sport.
BRITISH Athletics track certification

process is to be overhauled following
an internal review.
The main findings of the review
were: The volume of assessments,
availability of assessors and
administrative burden of the scheme
suggest that it is unsustainable in its
current format so change is needed.
The current assessment criteria
are excessive for many community/
training venues and are not deliverable
in practice.
There is a need for more, better
national governing body guidance,
information and training for facility
owners and operators and structured
support is required; particularly in the
areas of safety and maintenance.
A superfluous requirement for
re-testing of competition elements
(measurements/levels) of facilities
(annually and every five years).
As of January 1, 2016, any track
holding a recent measurement and
levels survey that demonstrates
compliance with the UKA rulebook will
automatically be issued with a new
competition certificate.
A new quality-assurance standard
with the working title TrackMark will
be developed over the next six months
and track manager courses and online
resources will also be launched.

QUALIFICATION: BRITISH ATHLETICS GETS TOUGHER ON WALKS AND MARATHONS COMPARED TO IAAF TARGETS
British selection standards for Rio announced

all events apart from the 5000m,
10,000m and road disciplines,
2016 rankings at the end of the
qualifying period will be used to fill
the remaining spaces according to
quotas for each event.
Last weeks AW reported that
around 14.5% fewer field-eventers
will be in Rio compared to London
2012, according to the recently
released quotas per event. Over all
the events, the reduction is 11.5%.
MARK SHEARMAN
BRITISH ATHLETICS has

announced its qualifying standards
for the 2016 Rio Olympics.
The full selection criteria will be
published this autumn.
As is the case for the Beijing
World Championships this year,
the marks match the IAAF entry
standards except in the walks and
marathons, which are tighter.
Marathon runners will need to
run 2:14 (men) and 2:31 (women)
to be considered for Rio.
Meanwhile, standards for the
mens 50km and womens 20km
walks have been tightened to
4:02:00 and 1:32:00 respectively.
The womens marathon mark
has been achieved by just three
British women over the last three
years and compares to the IAAF
standard of 2:42. Sonia Samuels,
the top Brit in the recent Virgin
Money London Marathon, was 46
seconds outside.

Farah back to compete in Birmingham GP

MO FARAH is set to compete
over 1500m when he returns
to the Sainsburys Birmingham
Grand Prix at the citys Alexander
Stadium on June 7.
The double Olympic, world and
European champion last raced
over the distance in Monaco in
2013 when he broke Steve Crams
British record with 3:28.81.
It will be Farahs seventh time
of competing at the event and he

is looking forward to using the
Diamond League meeting as an
opportunity to test his speed.
The World Championships
in Beijing is the main aim for this
year. Birmingham will be good to
work on my speed in a shorter
early season race, explained the
32-year-old, who won 5000m
and 10,000m titles at the London
2012 Olympics before again

doing the double at the World
Championships in Moscow a
year later and the European
Championships in Zurich in 2014.
It will be good to step down
to 1500m and test myself over a
shorter distance, he added.
Some of the best middle
distance runners in the world will
be in the field so I will have to be at
my best to compete with them.

Meanwhile, confirmed to
appear at the Sainsburys
Anniversary Games on July 24-26
are Christine Ohurougu and Adam
Gemili.
Ohuruogu, the 2008 Olympic
400m champion, will compete
in her home city in her specialist
event as the Diamond League
visits the British capital city.
Shobukhova drug ban hearing cancelled

THE Court of Arbitration for Sport
cancelled the hearing due to take
place last week into Liliya
Shobukhovas doping ban.
The IAAF were due to challenge
the penalty of only two years handed
to the Russian marathoner, whose
biological passport showed irregular

blood values.
Media reports in Russia suggested
that the IAAF, who wanted the
two-year ban doubled, reached a
settlement out of court with the
Russian federation.
Last year German broadcaster ARD

alleged in a documentary that the
Russian federation was paid by the
athlete to hide her suspicious results.
The money was subsequently paid
back when news of the adverse finding
leaked, the programme alleged.
Shobukhovas ban was announced

in April 2014 and her results since
October 2009 were annulled. The
cancelled results meant she would
lose two World Marathon Major series
wins, plus victories in London in 2010
and Chicago in 2009, 2010 and 2011.

MARATHON: GRAHAM GREEN CLOCKS 2:31 AGED 50 TO ADD TO THE SUCCESS OF HIS EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY
d Running is all in the genes for the Greens

MARATHONFOTO.COM
DESPITE having just clocked a

2:31 marathon at the age of 50,
Graham Green claims to be only
the second quickest M50 in his
family.
But what a family it is. His
brother, Andrew, a 2:12 marathon
runner in his heyday, has just run
31:33 for 10km at the age of 52.
At the Virgin Money London
Marathon last month, Graham
and his son, Ben, broke their own
Guinness World Record for the
best cumulative time for a father
and son in the same race.
Ben, 28, set a PB of 2:30:16,
while Green senior was just
behind on 2:31:56. A year earlier
their record was recognised after
they ran 2:35:30 and 2:43:05
respectively.
Making it a great day for the
family, Bens 25-year-old brother
Adam clocked a useful 2:58:55 in
this years race.
The performance of Graham,
whose London time takes him to
eighth on the UK all-time list for
M50s, was particularly impressive
given his seemingly less than
ideal physique for running as
someone who previously focused
more on weight training. With a
body mass index of 23.2, he is at
the high end of normal for the
general population and a lot higher
than most top club runners and
elite athletes albeit with a lot of
muscle and very little fat.
An all-rounder in school,
Graham was captain of his school
teams in football, rugby, baseball
and cricket. Yet it was at running
that he particularly excelled after
taking it up aged nine or ten.
Finishing 37th in his first race,
against older opposition, he vowed
the following year to return to
the annual event for Warrington
schoolchildren and win, which he
did easily with a course record.
That inspired him into serious
training and he won the under-13
race at the 1978 Inter-Counties
Green machines: Graham

(885) with son Ben (1133)
cross country. At 14 he ran 1:58.4

for 800m and 4:05.8 for 1500m,
the latter at the time close to the
UK under-15 best.
However, at 16 he left the sport
for a few years and, although
returning at 20 to clock 1:50, 3:47
and 8:13 for 800m, 1500m and
3000m respectively, he says now
that his training lacked structure
and he stopped running again
at the age of 28 due to work and
family pressure, having perhaps
not fulfilled some of his potential.
It was not until 2012 that
Graham resumed running in
order to lose some weight, having
acquired some due to weight
training. He entered that years
London Marathon aiming to break
three hours, which he did by 17
seconds.
I carried on with my weights
and also my running, not taking
either seriously. I just enjoyed
being fit, he says. Improving to

2:47 and 2:43 in the subsequent
years it was last summer that he
realised this years event took
place just nine days after he
entered a new age group.
If I could run 2:43 as a 49year-old and weighing over 80kg
as a result of my weight training,
then surely if I trained harder and
dropped the weight I could run
10 minutes faster, he pondered.
On September 1 last year, I
decided that I would win the M50
category at the 2015 London
Marathon.
Although he maintained
resistance training four to five
days a week, he embarked on a
strict diet to lose weight.
No bread, chocolate, in fact
anything that would be a wasted
calorie was not going to enter my
body until April 26, he says. I ate
porridge for breakfast every day,
chicken and fresh vegetables with

fruit was all that I was consuming
by now.
Dropping to 71 kg by race day,
he settled into target pace and
caught up with Ben at 10 miles.
As we came over Tower
Bridge the cheering from the
crowd was unbelievable, he
recalls. I had a lump in my throat,
running over Tower Bridge in the
London Marathon with my son
is something that I cant ever
imagine being bettered.
Ben pulled away but Graham
was delighted with his time and
pleased again to hear Adam
finished in under three hours, thus
winning a 1000 bet laid on by Ben
a few months earlier.
With his sights set on the future,
he said: One week following
London and Im beginning to think
what if I drop another 5kg, how
fast could I run then?
Perhaps, the world age-51
record of 2:24:18 will be an albeit
tough target next London, but he
believes that distances of 5km and
shorter are where his best hopes
lie.
He will have his own brother as
competition, though. Andrews
31:33 was an age-52 world best.
Graham admits: I was always in
Andrews shadow as a runner, as
indeed I still am. Something which
I am happy about.
Andrew won English Schools
titles and represented England.
Ben outdid his fathers PBs in
some events and has run 1:47.47
for 800m. Adam won the North
of England under-15 800m title,
although he stopped running at 15.
A little over a year into his
comeback to racing and,
according to his father, two stones
overweight, he has the potential
to be running closer to his family
members in next years London,
which could be an even greener
prospect for the family from
Warrington AC.

ROAD: RUNNERS WILL GET THE CHANCE TO START AND FINISH IN THE OLYMPIC STADIUM IN NEW 5X5KM EVENT
Relay race to take place around Olympic park

RUNNERS are being given the
opportunity to run on the track at
the London Olympic Stadium for
the last time before a new surface
is laid for the 2016 outdoor
season.
The Diamond Relays is a 5x5km
event which will start and finish
in the Olympic Stadium on the
evening of Monday July 27, the day
after the end of the Sainsburys
Anniversary Games.
Despite the high entry price
of 400 per team, organisers
are hoping the chance to run on
the Olympic track will encourage
runners of all abilities to team up
with clubmates, work colleagues
or others.
European 10,000m champion
Jo Pavey is helping to promote
the event and said: The Diamond
Relays are a great opportunity
to race on the same track as the
Rare opportunity: runners will get chance to race in the London Olympic Stadium
likes of Usain Bolt, Mo Farah, Jess

Ennis-Hill, David Weir and many
more, who graced the London
2012 Olympic and Paralympic
Games. I treasure my memories of
2012 and feel I can share in a part

of the history that was set here.
At around 9pm on the evening
of July 27, the last runner for
the final team will come into the
stadium and enjoy their moment

of glory. Their final lap may not
be as quick as some of the great
names that have run before them,
but they will no doubt experience
the goosebumps taking in a
historic moment at such an iconic
venue.
The entry fee includes spectator
places inside the stadium. Early
entries include 16 teams from EDF
Energy, captained by Olympic
400m finalist Donna Fraser.
The event makes use of British
Athletics exclusive use of the
stadium every July for the next 50
years.
The federation hopes to expand
the format to be part of a multiday festival of running to coincide
with the IAAF and IPC World
Championships in London 2017.

free-to-enter parkruns across 10
countries each weekend.
Pearson said: Parkrun
has not only transformed the
running landscape in the UK
but it is also making running
accessible to people of all ages
across the world.
I am honoured to join parkrun
Global at such an important time
in its development. The impact
that free, weekly runs, supported
by passionate volunteers, can
have on communities all over
the world is incredible and Im
excited to see what we, as a

team, can achieve.
Sinton-Hewitt added: Nick
has been a supporter of
parkrun since day one and has
indirectly supported our growth
through his various initiatives
at Sweatshop. I am delighted
that parkrun Global will benefit
from the knowledge, passion
and experience that Nick holds
to lead and guide us through our
next chapter.
With a registered member

HEPTATHLON: OLYMPIC CHAMPION SETS OUT ON NEW CHAPTER ON JOURNEY TO NEXT YEARS OLYMPICS IN RIO
Ennis-Hill ready for comeback in Manchester
In the heptathlon
youd probably pick up
a medal with 6600.
Generally the point
score is quite similar
every four years
JESSICA ENNIS-HILL, on what
she might need to achieve to
win a medal at Olympic level
STEVE BATESON
JESSICA ENNIS-HILL admits she

will be unusually nervous when
she steps foot on to the track
to compete for the first time in
nearly two years on Saturday.
The Olympic heptathlon
champion, who is returning to
the sport after giving birth last
year, will compete in the 100m
hurdles at the Great CityGames
Manchester.
Despite competing in her No.1
discipline, in which she is a former
UK record-holder, she knows she
will be an underdog as she faces
world bronze medallist Tiffany
Porter, world champion Brianna
Rollins and European 60m hurdles
silver medallist, Lucy Hatton.
Its going to be such a strange
feeling because its been so long
and I do get nervous when Im
doing bits of training, so when
Im back in that environment with
a crowd of people watching and
with some fast girls in the race
I think I am going to be pretty
nervous, said Ennis-Hill, who
may well be counting the hurdles
this time after winning the same
event in Manchester in 2012 in
12.75 only to find a PB would not
be registered as there were one
too few sets of flights in place on
Deansgate. It makes me nervous
just talking about it.
Her 12.54 to start her Olympic
heptathlon in 2012 was a British
record, which has since been
surpassed by Porter, and EnnisHill is not sure how far she will be
off that on Saturday.
Flashback: Jess Ennis flies to sprint hurdles victory on Deansgate in 2012
She concedes she will probably

be disappointed with her time,
but says her expectations are
quite low. She says of what
she considers will constitute a
successful comeback: I think
to get on that start line, have
a competitive race. Im in that
no mans land at the moment
where Im not quite sure what
kind of times Im going to do. But
I just want to enjoy it and want to
be competitive, see what I can
produce and know that I can build
on that throughout the season.
The Sheffield athlete, who has
been experiencing minor Achilles
niggles, says returning to training
after the birth of son Reggie last
July was like starting out in her
career all over again.
Ennis-Hill has said trying to
come back from pregnancy to
reach the very top again will be her
greatest ever challenge. Indeed,
having reached the pinnacle of
her sport and acquired all the
trappings that go with it, it would
have been no great surprise
if she had decided to hang up
her spikes for good rather than
resume training for the most

time-consuming event in womens
athletics.
London was incredible and it
will take a lot to top that but I never
felt like I wanted to end my career
there, she says. I always felt I
had two to three more years left
me. And having Reggie gave me a
whole new challenge.
Ive obviously had those
moments where Ive thought,
what am I doing? Im crazy, but I
love what I do and wanted to give it
one last shot.
As far as regaining peak fitness,
she has pinpointed the Rio
Olympics and will use this season
as a build-up year.
She will throw herself in at
the deep end in the world-class
Hypomeeting heptathlon in
Gotzis on May 30-31 to try to gain
the qualifying mark for both the
World Championships this year
and Rio next year which are 6075
and 6200 respectively. Ennis-Hills
current best of 6955 was set at the
London Games of 2012.
Im just trying to be very
realistic. I really want to be back
there. Im not unfortunately going

to get back straight away at the
beginning of the season, it is going
to take a bit of time, she says.
Ennis-Hill, who says she has
been inspired by the exploits of
Jo Pavey, the mother-of-two who
won European gold last year at
the age of 40, realises winning
gold in Rio would be an enormous
achievement, but she thinks the
standard required for a medal is
within her grasp.
The event does move on, she
says. But I think in the heptathlon
youd probably pick up a medal
with 6600, that kind of score.
I think you have those athletes
who progress and stand out, but
generally the point score is quite
similar every four years.
She does not rule out focusing
on the hurdles should all not go to
plan in the heptathlon, and says:
I think hurdles is always an option
in the back of my mind. But its
just about getting back, getting
competitive. I really want to be
there, be competitive and want to
win a medal so Im doing all I can
to be there.

were mixed, but in typical fashion,
the student support more than

TAYLOR CAMPBELL is now
the owner two UK under-20
records, having already broken
the age-group mark with the 6kg
implement at the Loughborough
University BUCS Trials the
previous weekend. In Bedford he
added to his record tally with a
throw of 69.39m with the heavier
senior hammer.
Campbell led a high-quality
competition as silver went to
Osian Jones, who consolidated
his position as second all-time on
the Welsh rankings with 67.35m,
while last years champion,
Michael Painter, had to settle for
bronze, despite throwing more
than three metres further than
last year with 65.23m.
The 100m event lived up to
its blue riband status, last years
England Athletics under-23 100m
and 200m champion, Kieran Daly
taking the title in 10.50 ahead of
Sam Gordan and Imran Rahman.
Im very pleased with the win
and the time, he said. 10.50 is
my fastest season-opener, so
theres more to come. It was also
raining and the track was soaked
with strong headwinds.
For the rest of the year
I am aiming to build on last
season and Ill try my best to
make the team for the World
Championships.
Omololu Abiodun took the
200m in 21.41 to add to the
indoor title he took earlier this
year, while Jack Houghton won
the 400m hurdles in 50.70.
Kieran Daly: 10.50

to win the 100m final
In the flat 400m, indoor silver

medallist Alex Boyce enjoyed
taking victory in 47.26 from Jack
Wightman and Christian Byron.
Having clocked 13.83 in the
heats, last years silver medallist,
David King, won the 110m hurdles
in 13.92 to add to his 60m
hurdles title earlier in the year.
Its a great way to start and
much quicker than my opener
last season, which is very
encouraging for the coming
season, he said.
My next few races include
the Loughborough International
and a couple abroad in Germany
and Poland. I am confident of
running the European Under-23

qualifying time of 13.80 so all my
races are leading up to that.
Having claimed silver in this
event last year, England Athletics
under-23 champion Jamie
Webb went one better in 2015,
taking the 800m title in 1:51.04
from Ben Waterman and Zak
Curran. Meanwhile, Birmingham
enjoyed a double victory in the
distance events, courtesy of the
two Jonnys, Davies taking the
5000m in 15:14.42 from Alberto
Sanchez and Hay successfully
defending his BUCS 10,000m
title in 30:43.97 from Oxford
Universitys Miles Unterreiner.
Omololu Abiodun (784): added

outdoor to indoor 200m gold
Both Davies and Hay showed the

benefits of a recent training trip
to Font Romeu.
Having only come over from
Stanford this year, 28:49 man
Unterreiner had been nave to
Hays trademark fast finish.
Unterreiner said: Ive been
working on my shorter-distance
speed a bit over the last few
weeks, and consequently thought
that I had a pretty good chance to
win by outkicking the other two
leaders in the final lap.
I tried to put in a big kick on
the final lap. But Jonny was just
way too quick for me. He used his
top-end 1500m speed and just
blew me out of the water.
Scottish 800m champion
Chris Watson enjoyed his biggest
victory so far when clocking a
PB of 3:48.11 to win the 1500m
almost two seconds clear of Tom
Hook and James McMurray
Jonathan Bailey was the only
athlete over 2m in the high jump
with 2.01m. Joshua Olawore
added the outdoor title to his
indoor crown in the long jump
with 7.42m and Alan Toward won
the discus by nearly six metres.
Having already won three
BUCS titles, Youcef Zatat was
the obvious favourite in the shot
05/05/2015 18:26:11

Jamie Webb: improved from second last year in the 800m
coming into the championships,

but he took it all in his stride,
winning by more than three
metres with 17.08m.
There was a little more
pressure on me than usual, he
said. My mum always told me
that the favourite tag accounts
for nothing and I have to earn
every win, so I reminded myself of
that and Im happy to come away
with another title.
My university have done a lot
for me and I enjoyed throwing
in front of a decent crowd. I just
want to keep improving and the
season should be fruitful.
Winning is always nice. Im in a
lot better shape than the distance
suggests, so the distance was a
little disappointing, but to throw
only a couple of centimetres
under my PB isnt the end of
the world. Conditions werent
really conducive to big throws so
David King: hurdles win in 13.92
Kirsten McAslan:
championship best
in the 400m
Women
Joshua Olawore: completed 2015 BUCS

double in the long jump with 7.42m
hopefully when the sun comes

out I can throw a little further.
Cardiff Met came out on top
in 4x100m, while Brunel took
4x400m honours.
Greg Millar: 67.38m
in the javelin earned gold
KIRSTEN MCASLAN was

arguably the standout performer
on the womens side, clocking
a European under-23 qualifying
mark of 52.46 to break Perri
Shakes-Draytons five-year-old
championship best. This was
also an outdoor PB for the British
indoor champion and Scottish
Commonwealth Games 4x400m
relay competitor, who ran 52.28
indoors at the Sainsburys
Birmingham Grand Prix.
Im really happy with the win
and its a great opener to my
season, which I hope I can build
on, said McAslan.
It was an exciting race, neck
and neck with Laviai on the home
straight, but I just had enough
strength to hold her off. BUCS is
Jessica Judd: winning on home turf
such a great event and it means

a lot to be able to represent my
university.
My main aim for the year is to
make the final of the European
Under-23 Championships.
McAslan also led Laviai Nielsen
under 53 seconds for the first
time, the teenagers 52.61 being
not only a European Under-20
qualifying standard and placing
her fifth on the UK under-20
all-time list, but it was also the
quickest by a British teenager
since Donna Fraser ran 52.54 in
1991. Zoey Clark took bronze in
53.11 and Nielsens twin sister,
Lina, ran a PB of 53.58 for fourth.
Sub-two-minute 800m athlete
Jess Judd was in action for
Loughborough in her specialist
event, taking top honours in
2:04.99..

For Judd, the championships
served as a useful run-out after
a recent training trip to America
and she hopes to build on her
performances from last year,
which saw her claim spots in both
European and Commonwealth
Games finals, by qualifying for
the European Under-23s or World
Championships.
I had different tactics
coming into it, as I wanted to
try something different, she
said. The first lap was very
slow and I dont normally run
that way. I loved representing
Loughborough, as its purely
being in Loughborough and the
set-up with George (Gandy)
that has led to me enjoying my
running again and it was nice to
see athletes from my training
group also do well.
World junior finalist Amy
Griffiths took the 1500m
in 4:20.50 from last years
champion Gemma Kersey in
4:21.74 and National cross
country champion Lily Partridge.
European under-23 cross
country champion Rhona
Auckland took the 5000m in
16:01.48 ahead of previous
winner Louise Small and Melissa
Courtney.
Adeline Goenon took an
impressive sprints double,
clocking 11.61 and a PB
24.10 over 100m and 200m
respectively, with Charlotte
Wingfield claiming silver in both.
Jessica Turner took the 400m

Eventual winner Rhona Auckland leads the
5000m from Melissa Courtney and Louise Small
hurdles in 58.38, with Philippa

Lowe also sub-60 with 59.66,
after pre-race favourite and Irish
international Christine McMahon
was disqualified.
Indoor silver medallist Marilyn
Nwawulor won the 100m hurdles
in 13.84 after indoor champion
Karla Drew was disqualified in the
heats.
Double Paralympic, world and
European champion Hannah
Cockroft was just outside the
championship best she set when
winning the 100m title last year,
clocking 18.27 for another victory.
Having claimed silver in
the past three editions of the
championships, Eloise Meakins

was understandably delighted
to take her first BUCS title in the
javelin with 46.08m, having led
from the opening round.
I am so happy to claim my
first BUCS athletics gold. Im not
that pleased with the distance,
but the conditions werent that
great and it was enough to win, so
I cant really complain, she said.
I got a bit nervous in the final
round when everyone started
improving and getting close to
my first-round throw.
The international canoeist is
aiming to gain selection for the
European Under-23 Athletics
Womens 100m: Adeline Gouenon (327) en route to sprint double
Championships, as well as
continue with her canoeing, in
which she recently won BUCS
team medals.
I do struggle sometimes to
fit in my training for canoeing
around my javelin training,
but being at Loughborough
University enables me to
combine both, said Meakins.
Elsewhere in the throws,
Rachel Hunter retained her
hammer title with 62.36m,
Samantha Milner won the discus
with 46.41m and Clare Fitzgerald
added outdoor victory to her
indoor title in the shot with
14.49m.

IAAF World Relays, Bahamas, May 2-3
US on fire at World Relays

UNITED STATES COME
OUT ON TOP AGAIN
IN THE SECOND IAAF
WORLD RELAYS IN
THE BAHAMAS
Not even Usain Bolt can make up the deficit as he struggles to catch Ryan Bailey in the 4x100m

HE United States uccessfully

defended the golden baton
for being the most dominant
team at the IAAF World
Relays in Nassau, Bahamas, last
weekend.
The team won seven of the 10
events which saw them easily
repeat their overall victory of 12
months ago ahead of Jamaica.
This included a win over the
Jamaican world record-holders,
including Usain Bolt, in the mens
4x100m on the first day.
Great Britain finished eighth
after third-place finishes in the
womens 4x400m and 4x100m.
In making the top eight in the
womens 4x100m as well as both
the mens and womens 4x400m,
Britain secured spots for each
of those events at next years
Olympic Games in Rio.
Yet the absence of Chijindu
Ujah, James Dasaolu, Adam
Gemili and Harry AikinesAryeetey led to Kilty complaining:
We all have our individual
aspirations but we have a
massive, massive chance to win a

medal in Rio; more so of a chance
than we have in the individual.
Theres three big names at
home who I think have let us
down a little bit. They all have
their reasons for not coming
but whats more important than
qualifying for Rio automatically?
We all committed to the relay
Controversial relay winners
(l to r): Justin Gatlin, Mike
Rodgers, Tyson Gay and
Ryan Bailey
and certain people dont want to.

We should be running with our
A-team from 2015 to make sure
that we gel all the way through
and give ourselves the best
possible opportunity for Rio and
thats not happening right now.
The GB team also came under
criticism for not sending middledistance squads to the Bahamas.
Day one
EVEN Usain Bolt could not catch
a flying American sprint relay
quartet as United States won
the mens 4x100m in Nassau
on Saturday and also broke the
world record in the womens
distance medley.
In the big race of the opening
day of the two-day meeting, Bolt
was on the anchor leg for the
world record-holders, Jamaica,
but the US team of Mike Rodgers,
Justin Gatlin, Tyson Gay and Ryan
Bailey built up too much of a lead
as they cruised home in 37.39 as
Jamaica and Bolt finished second
in 37.68.
It was the equal-seventh

fastest performance in history,
but a controversial victory given
the drug-tainted background of
team members Gatlin, Gay and
Rodgers, not to mention US team
coach Dennis Mitchell.
The British 4x100m mens
team finished fourth in the heats
but later won the B race final in
38.67 thanks to Andy Robertson,
Danny Talbot, James Ellington
and Richard Kilty.
It gives us a benchmark in
terms of where we are at and
clearly we are down from where
we want to be, reflected Talbot.
We have always got to try and
be positive, we have all raced
together before but this is a new
order. Its unfortunate that we
didnt run as well as what we
can do but we have got to move
forward and not be too negative
on this.
The United States dominated
and won three of the four finals.
This included the womens
distance medley where a world

ran a storming leg to help USA to a win
record of 10:36.50 was set

thanks to Treniere Moser in the
opening 1200m leg, then Sanya
Richards-Ross over 400m, Ajee
Wilson over 800m and Shannon
Rowbury in the final 1600m leg.
The team took more than six
seconds off the previous mark
of 10:42.57 that was set indoors
earlier this year by a different US
team.
The first leg looked to be more
tactical in the beginning with
none of the athletes willing to
lead as the first lap was covered
in just 69 seconds. But the pace
had picked up by the end of the
1200m section, with France up
on the USA, 3:18.11 to 3:18.38.
The slow first lap meant the
teams were a few seconds
outside world record pace, but

a 50.12 clocking from RichardsRoss on the 400m leg put them
back on course.
Wilson then ran a solo 2:00.08
for the 800m leg and Rowbury
then increased their lead, which
was already substantial, to bring
the baton home in 10:36.50,
covering the final four laps in
4:27.92.
In second, Kenya set an African
record of 10:43.35 while Poland
broke the European record with
10:45.32 in third place.
Nigeria won the womens
4x200m in 1:30.52 from Jamaica
in second. United States took the
mens 4x800m comfortably in
7:04.84 from Poland.
In the 4x400m heats, the
The GB mens 4x100m team finished fourth in their heat but later won the B final
Another US win: this time in the 4x800m
GB mens and womens teams

qualified for Sundays finals,
which means qualification
for the Rio Olympics will be
guaranteed providing the races
are completed.
At the end of the first day,

United States led in the team
standings with 24 points from
Jamaica on 14 and Poland with 13
as the stadium in Nassau enjoyed
a terrific atmosphere.
Day two
THE United States took another
four victories on the second day
as Great Britain teams won two
sets of bronze medals.
After winning the mens
4x100m, mens 4x800m and
womens distance medley on
Saturday, American teams
returned to the Thomas A
Robinson National Stadium
on Sunday to secure wins in
the womens 4x800m, mens
distance medley, womens
4x400m and mens 4x400m.
Jamaica finished second in the
standings, helped by success in
the mens 4x200m and womens

4x100m, while Britain placed

eighth overall after third-place
finishes in the womens 4x400m
and 4x100m.
USA picked up from where it
had left off on the second day of
World Relays action, securing a
dominant victory in the womens
4x800m that saw anchor Alysia
Montano cross the finishing
line almost 11 seconds ahead of
Poland. Clocking 8:00.62, the US
team beat the competition best
and area record set last year by
almost a second.
World indoor 800m champion
Chanelle Price led the team off
and clocked a 2:01.30 split before
Maggie Vessey ran 2:00.92 to
create a three-second lead at half
way. Molly Beckwith-Ludlow then
clocked 1:59.50 which increased
the teams advantage to five
seconds before Montano ran the
fastest split with 1:58.90. Poland
secured the runner-up spot
with a national record of 8:11.36,
beating Australia with 8:13.97.
USAs men matched the world
record-breaking performance of
their female team-mates in the
distance medley, clocking 9:15.50
to take six hundredths of a
second off Kenyas nine-year-old
mark. Kyle Merber started things
off by running the 1200m before
handing the baton to Brycen
Spratling who covered one lap of
the track. Brandon Johnson ran
800m before Ben Blankenship
took on the final 1600m leg,
seeing off the challenge of
Kenyas Timothy Cheruiyot to
Relay delight: the

quartet celebrate
finish a second and a half clear.

Kenya clocked 9:17.20 in silver,
while Australia took bronze with
9:21.62.
American teams also won both
4x400m events - Phyllis Francis
(51.40), Natasha Hastings
(49.93), Sanya Richards-Ross
(48.79) and Francena McCorory
(49.27) combining to run 3:19.39
and beat Jamaica with 3:22.49
and David Verburg (44.91), Tony
McQuay (44.00), Jeremy Wariner
(44.80) and LaShawn Merritt
(44.72) clocking 2:58.43 to beat
The Bahamas with 2:58.91 in
front of the vocal and passionate
crowd.
It is always a good
competition between the USA
and The Bahamas, said Verburg.
We knew that were competing
Distance medley drama:
Kyle Merber and his US
team-mates overtook a
tiring Kenyan team to win
on their territory, so there would

be a lot of hype, but we fed off of
it and used it to our advantage.
Great Britain won the first of
the nations two sets of bronze
medals in the womens 4x400m
final as European indoor bronze
medallist Seren Bundy-Davies
worked well to hold off Floria Guei
who formed part of Frances
gold medal-winning teams at the
European indoor and outdoor
championships on the last leg.
Eilidh Child (52.82), Anyika
Onuora (50.94) and Kelly Massey
(51.00) completed the team.
Bundy-Davies ran her anchor
leg in 51.62 to cross the line in
3:26.38 to Frances 3:26.68. Cuba
won the womens B final.
I thought Im in such a
good position, just hold on to
everything youve got, said

Bundy-Davies. I couldnt see her
(Guei) and thats a good thing. I
just kept on going.
There was a place on the
podium for Belgium in the mens
event as a team comprising the
three Borlee brothers Dylan,
Jonathan and Kevin combined
with Julien Watrin to break the
national record with 2:59.33.
A GB team of Conrad Williams,
Rabah Yousif, Jack Green and
George Caddick finished sixth
and by making the final and
completing the race secured GB
a spot in next years Rio Olympic
Games.
With a Jamaican team
including Usain Bolt having lost
to the USA in the mens 4x100m
final the day before, a quartet

Ricky Simms described as

just a precaution. Standing on
top of the podium, the winning
Jamaican team all did Bolts
signature pose.
A second victory for Jamaica
was claimed in the womens
4x100m as Schillonie Calvert,
Veronica Campbell-Brown,
Kerron Stewart and Simone
Facey saw off an American team
featuring three members of the
world record-breaking squad
from London 2012 Tianna
Bartoletta, Allyson Felix and
Carmelita Jeter as well as
Kimberlyn Duncan. A worldleading 42.14 secured Jamaica
the win ahead of USAs 42.32.
Asha Philip, Ashleigh Nelson,
Bianca Williams and Margaret
Adeoye added to Great Britains
medal haul by clocking 42.84 for
bronze. Ecuador narrowly beat
the Bahamas in the womens B
final.
After the heats we just wanted
to come out to the final and get
our spot for the Rio Olympics,
said Nelson. We missed out on
London and it was devastating.
We just wanted to cement a place
and getting a medal is an added
bonus.
SEREN BUNDY-DAVIES
of Nickel Ashmeade, Rasheed
Dwyer, Jason Livermore and
Warren Weir was determined not
to let that happen again in the
4x200m.
Their victory wasnt all smooth,
though, and a messy second
handover slowed things down,
but their performance went
better than that of the US team,
with the American quartet
disqualified after their baton
hit the track and Curtis Mitchell
left his lane to pick it up before
running his leg. Jamaica clocked
1:20.97 for the win ahead of
France with 1:21.49 and Germany
with 1:22.65.
Bolt had been included in the
team for the 4x200m as well as
the 4x100m but withdrew with
a tight hamstring before the
heats, something his manager
Usain Bolt:
after the
4x100m,
the world
record-holder
pulled out of
the 4x200m
with a slight
hamstring
injury

Bring

GET READY FOR THE BUSIEST PART OF THE

ATHLETICS YEAR WITH ATHLETICS WEEKLYS
DEFINITIVE TRACK & FIELD FIXTURES CALENDAR
T PROMISES to be a busy
season for runners, jumpers,
throwers and race walkers
as they lace up their spikes
and shoes for the summer.
On the domestic front there
are hundreds of meetings to
compete in from Bedford to
Birmingham, Grangemouth to
Gateshead and Lee Valley to
(for a fortunate few) Londons
Olympic Stadium for the
Sainsburys Anniversary
Games in July.
Internationally, major events
take in venues as varied as
Samoa for the Commonwealth
Youth Games in September
and Colombia for the IAAF
World Youth Championships.
The main event by far in this
non-Olympic year, though,
remains the IAAF World
Championships, which is in
Beijing from August 22-30.
The action in Beijing in just
over three months time is
the highlight of the athletics
calendar. But both before
and after this event there is a
14-strong series of Diamond
League meetings.
The Diamond League begins
in Doha next week, but for fans
of British athletics all eyes
will be on the Birmingham
leg of the Diamond League
series on June 7 followed by
the Anniversary Games in
Londons Olympic Stadium
from July 24-26.
For up-and-coming athletes
who have the ambition to
one day compete in such

meetings, the big targets
in 2015 are the European
Junior Championships in
Sweden, European Under-23
Championships in Estonia
and aforementioned IAAF
World Youth Championships in
Colombia.
Elsewhere, highlights of
the coming summer season
include the Sainsburys British
Championships from July
3-4 and the English Schools
Championships in Gateshead
from July 10-11.
For older athletes, they will

be hoping to peak at the British
Masters Championships in
Birmingham from July 25-26
followed by the World Masters
Championships in Lyon from
August 4-16.
There is no need to wait
until July or August, though.
The track and field season
is underway already and the
first British Athletics League
meetings for 2015 kick off
this weekend followed by the
Loughborough International on
May 17 and then most county
championships toward the end
of a busy month.
Lets not forget the slightly
less traditional art of street
athletics as well, with a host
of big names kicking off
their season at the Great
Manchester CityGames this
Saturday.
All of these events, plus
many more open meetings,
leagues and championships,
are listed over the following
11 pages of this issue. Whats
more, we will bring you
results and in many cases
reports and photographs
from the events as the
season unfolds.

IN THE COUNTDOWN
TO BEIJING, OUR SERIES
ON THE HISTORY OF THE
WORLDS CONTINUES
Womens 800m
UST OVER half a hour after

winning her 400m semi-final in
51.08, Czechoslovakian Jarmila
Kratochvilova easily won 800m
gold in the first two-lap final in
Helsinki. She opened up only in the
final 200m, which took her just 27.3
seconds superior to three of the
mens finalists. Despite her earlier
race and the pace not being that
testing, her 1:54.68 put her second
on the all-time list.
Unfair British selection policies
arent just confined to the present
as no Britons were there, even
though 2:13.80 proved enough to
make the semi-finals and last 16.
Britain selected someone in
1987 in Rome and Diane Edwards
was inside two minutes in her semifinal but failed to make the final.
Kratochvilova tried to defend
her title but faded after the leaders
passed 400m in a vicious 56.30.
The battle for gold was close
with Sigrun Wodars edging out
East German team-mate Christine
Wachtel in 1:55.26.
Ana Quirot ran 1:55.84 but failed
to win a medal.
Zulia
Calatayud
(147):
poised to
pass Maria
Mutola
Ana Quirot: Cuban took gold in 1995, above, and successfully defended her title in 97
In Tokyo in 1991, the Cuban

Quirot ran slower but at least won
a medal in a dramatic final, which
saw the first four covered by 0.13 of
a second.
Quirot had edged ahead in the
last 100m, but Liliya Nurutdinova,
who had led at 400m in 56.44,
battled back past Quirot to win by
five hundredths of a second.
Ella Kovacs collided with Maria
Mutola but survived a protest to
take bronze as Mutolas 1:57.63
gave her a world junior record,
though not a medal.
Briton Ann Williams did well to
make the final in seventh and last
was Svetlana Masterkova. The
Russian was to win double Olympic
gold in 1996.
The Mozambique athlete

matured and was a clear favourite
for Stuttgart in 1993.
Meredith Rainey ran a less than
wise 55.49 first lap with Mutola
seventh.
Mutola moved up to take the
lead at 600m and a 29.47 last
200m was all that was required
for her to open up a 15m winning
margin, clocking 1:55.43 ahead
of 1987 bronze medallist Lyubov
Gurinas 1:57.10.
It was a memorable event for
defender Nurutdinova, who along
with Chinas Liu Li was brought
down as Tina Paulino fell, and
walked across the line in 3:19.18,
then failed doping tests and was
disqualified. With the three fallers,
Edwards (now Modahl) finished

fourth.
Kelly Holmes, in her first major
event, ran 1:58.64 in her semi-final,
but was still some way from the top
four in the race and failed to qualify.
Four years later, though, Holmes
was a genuine contender and a
possible medal chance increased
when Mutola was sensationally
disqualified for stepping inside her
lane after winning her semi-final
to end a 42-race unbeaten streak
going back to the 1992 Olympics.
In the final, Rainey again acted
as pacemaker through 400m in
56.42 and was still ahead at 600m
in 85.91, but faded near the finish
though and 32 year-old Quirot
proved the strongest winning
in 1:56.11 with Letitia Vriesde in
second and Holmes third in a
British record 1:56.95.
Mutola was back for Athens in
1997 and led for most of the race
until 50m from the finish Quirot
kicking past to win in 1:57.14 as
Mutola faded to third.
Olympic champion Masterkova
was joint favourite along with
Mutola in 1999 in Seville. The pair
fought for victory along the straight
but were both overtaken by a fastfinishing Ludmila Formanova, who
had been fifth in 1997.
Holmes, who had been injured in
Athens, just missed out on making
the final and she wasnt at her best

Eunice Sum:
Kenyan took gold
in Moscow two
years ago
Maria Mutola: three-time champion over a 10-year period from 1993-2003
in Edmonton in 2001 either as she

came sixth in a very close race
won by Mutolas late kick in 1:57.17
to deny Stephanie Graf by 0.03
of a second. Mutola thus became
the only athlete to win the 2000
Olympics and a world indoor and
outdoor title in 2001.
Mutola looked even more
dominant in Paris in 2003 and
she and Holmes, who was by then
her training partner, controlled
the race. Holmes was ahead until
the last 50 metres, but the Briton
finished a clear second, two metres
behind Mutola.
Holmes was to gain her revenge
in the following years Olympics.
Mutola was still a factor in
Helsinki in 2005 and led at 400m
but eventually faded to fourth as
Cuban Zulia Calatayud kicked
to a clear victory over Moroccan
Olympic silver medallist, Hasna
Benhassi.
Benhassi was again second in

Osaka in 2007 but was well beaten
by Janeth Jepkosgei. The Kenyan
shot through 200m in 26.58, which
is 1:46 pace, and survived a 56.16
first 400m to win in 1:56.04.
By now in her ninth World
Championships and an incredible
eighth final, Mutola was again in
Mariya
Savinova:
gold in
2011
medal contention but suffered

a muscle spasm in the finishing
straight and had to drop out.
Jepkosgei tried similar tactics
in Berlin in 2009 and led through
200m in 26.83 but was overtaken
by the powerful Caster Semenya
at 400m in 56.83. The South
African was a different class to the
opposition in the last 200m and
won in 1:55.45, two seconds ahead
of the Kenyan.
A late run by Jenny Meadows
snatched bronze while fellow Briton
Marilyn Okoro also made the final
but faded after a 57.3 first lap.
Semenya could not compete
for the next year due to medical
irregularities but returned for
Daegu in 2011 and led into the
straight but was run down by fastfinishing Mariya Savinova, who won
in 1:55.87 to Semenyas 1:56.35.
The records now show that
Meadows was second in her semi-
final but didnt make the final as

Yuliya Rusanova finished ahead of
her, much later to be disqualified
for a doping infringement.
Savinova didnt quite defend
her title in front of her home
crowd in Moscow in 2013 as gold
surprisingly went to the stronger
Eunice Sum in 1:57.38.

RONNERS AT POSTLONDON PARTY
OME of the rising stars of

British athletics mingled with
London Marathon Ronners
after the race as they united in
attempts to raise funds for the Ron
Pickering Memorial Fund.
Athletes who have benefited
from the Fund visited the Marquis
of Granby pub near the finish of
the London Marathon soon after
the 2015 race to congratulate the
charity Ronners who were raising
money for the next generation
of talented sprinters, hurdlers,
runners, jumpers, throwers and
race walkers.
The athletes at the Marquis
of Granby for the post-race after
party (and recovery) included
sprinters Dina Asher-Smith,
Shannon Hylton, Cheriece Hylton
and Sophie Papps, decathlete
John Lane, high jumper Rory
Dwyer and miler Jake Wightman.
The Ronners who managed to
limp there and their supporters
were welcomed by the RPMF team
and several of the charitys current
and former funded young athletes
and their families who came
along to show their support and

appreciation for all the marathon
runners efforts.
It was a fantastic day with
Ronners times ranging from 3:11
through to around seven hours.
Leading the way, Chris George
from Nike ran 3:11:52 with fellow
Nike colleagues Isabelle Michalski
running 3:58, Jay Warburton
3:57, Sam Bloch 3:17 and Claire
Gilchreaste 4:29.

Is London miles ahead?

WILL COCKERELL
ARGUES AGAINST
THE ASSERTION
THAT THE LONDON
MARATHON IS BY FAR
THE WORLDS BEST
Paula Radcliffe: wore a blood-red vest in

London rather than Bedford & County colours
WAS struck by AW results

editor Steve Smythes blog on
athleticsweekly.com that London
is the best marathon in the world
by some distance. Thats a bold
statement, especially as he has
confined himself to London 34 of
the last 35 springs and thus has a
small sample pool. Let me temper
Steves honeyed words. London
has only a moderate history, having
been founded in 1981 compared to
Bostons 1897, and was nowhere
to be seen as the worlds running
boom took off on the back of Frank
Shorters epic win at the Olympic
marathon in Munich in 1972 which
inspired a whole generation of
Americans off their couches.
As Boston and New Yorks
growths exploded, they in
turn triggered Chris Brashers
brainchild. London has no premodern era pioneers in the
marathons history to point to,
such as Clarence de Mar, Johnny
Kelley the elder, Abebe Bikila,
Jim Peters, Bobbi Gibb, Ron Hill,
Kathrine Switzer, Frank Shorter, Bill
Rodgers or Joan Benoit. Its course
is also somewhat humdrum, with
a banal first half (the Cutty Sark
is the only landmark I could name
until Tower Bridge), and the second
half is hardly the Hanging Gardens
of Babylon.
Make no mistake: London is a
great marathon. But Id never put
it above Boston, Berlin, Chicago,
New York or even Amsterdam and
Paris. And I wouldnt put it below
them either.
Steve Smythe responds: Yes,
I am biased because it is the
only race that starts 800m from
least her two clubmates who ran

well and deserved to be part of the
team rankings.
Surely Nike could have designed
her a Bedford vest with a big
swoosh on it. And it would have
made such a big statement about
how she got her start in the sport,
and who from.
The 2:15 millstone
my house but I have run Boston

twice, run a fair proportion
of the Paris Marathon for the
last four years for coaching
purposes and at least run part
of the Amsterdam, Berlin and
New York courses. I have also
been on the course for every
World Championships since 1997
and a fair number of Olympic,
Commonwealth and European
marathons, so I do have some
experience of other races!
Radcliffes allergy
What London does have is Paula
Radcliffe! Her glorious farewell
was deserved, but I feel she could
have been a far better ambassador
by dealing with her allergy to
competition. Just 17 times has
the world been offered a serious
glimpse of her in the last decade,
and injuries and child-bearing
aside, thats insufficient, when
compared to other great stars
of world sport who are out there
week in, week out giving the world
pleasure and entertainment.
Witness the year post-Beijing

where Paula struck a rich vein of
form. But the only race director
in the world to lure her was Mary
Wittenberg at New York, who
got her three times, twice at the
marathon, with the half in between.
What was Marys magic touch?
Radcliffe hasnt done a club
race since September 2001 and
her refusal to wear her club vest at
London, despite competing in the
club race, was a real snub to both
Bedford and the grassroots, not
If ever an experiment was a victim

of its own success, this is it. The
moment I heard Paulas 2003 time
of 2:15:25, my heart sunk a little
because I knew the record was too
freakish to be truly savoured and
hunted down, because I realised its
obvious secret: the 1:30-2:00
value of those male Kenyan pace
makers. The experiment has never
been repeated, and it doesnt look
like it ever will, due to elite women
no longer racing in mixed events.
The 2:15 is bandied about
as the world record, but its for
a discontinued race and this
minutiae is way over the head of

But lets be clear about this: if you
blast a marathon as fast as you
can alone, the bodys mission
becomes lonely, dark and paranoid;

I THOUGHT George Edwards article (Comment, April 23), on the

national 12-stage relays was excellent and the race (which I adore)
does need to look for ways to reinvigorate itself. Here are my two cents
worth: Keep the 12 stages of the National event sacrosanct, but reduce
the area relays to 10. Thats the event with real delusions of grandeur
and in most need of reform. Many of Georges ideas have merit, and a
switch to the autumn is worth considering if things start to dramatically
decline, but not yet. I dont think the long stage should be disbanded,
but I believe reducing the race to four longs would be fine.
Keep stage one long as its such a great spectacle, and then go short
all the way until 7, 9, and 11, in order to keep the field as tightly packed as
possible, before clubs wheel out the heavies. This would also reduce the
affair by half an hour not a bad prospect.

my heart sunk a little because I knew the

dozen years wouldnt be saying:
Give me that treatment and Ill run
1:45 quicker too! This week former
Boston winner Jack Fultz wrote to
me: She beat Katherine the Great
(Catherine Ndereba) by FOUR
minutes in the process. How was
that possible? Was she clean and
just caught the proverbial lightning

in a bottle? I duly wrote back
and said of course shes clean,
but how frustrating is it that some
(particularly in the US) are starting
to bracket the time with those of
Wang Junxia and Florence GriffithJoyner, where it certainly doesnt
belong.

12-Stage demise
WITH due respect to the athletes
who ran their eye balls out on the
day, the spectacle of the mighty
National Road Relay degenerating
into a shadow of its former self is
more than many stars of its history
can stomach.
It has been a litany of
compromises, with hand to hand
change overs gone, route changes,
B teams allowed to run, finishing
50 minutes behind the first team
and a general air of socializing
apathy.
Bristols magnificent record
of 4:00:37, hand to hand, over
the classic laps, will never be
bettered, unless the classic route is
reinstated and the majority of boys
and girls revert to the hard work
ethos of those halcyon years.
The old guard will think
themselves fortunate, that they
experienced and survived the
cauldron that was the National
Road Relay, where no prisoner was
taken and no quarter given.
John Potts, Birchfield Harriers
Age group changes

FOLLOWING our articles on young
athlete age group changes (AW,
April 2), we have had contact
with more than 150 clubs and
associations. Less than 4% has
indicated that they support the
UKA proposals. The rest of the
96% are opposed to them, most
vehemently so.
However, what should be of
major concern to UKA is the
widespread perception that no
notice will be taken of the opinions
of the athletics community on this
(or indeed any other) issue; and
that consequently many will not
respond to the consultation, even
though they are strongly opposed
to the changes.
Comments such as whats
the point? or it wont make any

difference or UKA will do what
they want anyway they always
do have been very common.
We respect the decision of
UKA to open a consultation on
this matter, and we ourselves do
not subscribe to the above view
(or else why would UKA open
a consultation and why would
we spend our time attempting
to ensure that the clubs and
associations respond). However
we believe that it is essential that
UKA address these concerns.
They could allay these fears by
publishing a statement indicating
that they will abide by the majority
of opinions of those who have
responded. We urge them to do so.
If they ignore opinion from the
sport then many will see their
consultation as a cynical exercise
which will create a further divide
between the governing body and
the grassroots, something we
fervently hope to heal rather then
exacerbate.
In the meantime, we urge
those who have not already
done so to take the opportunity
offered by UKA to express their
opinion via the template on the
UKA website (britishathletics.
org.uk/competition/age-groupcompetition-consultation).

Road relay ideas

I AM WRITING about George
Edwards comments in AW on the
12-Stage Relay. To get clubs and
their athletes interested in running,
the present format has to change.
Its no point in making the course
longer because all that does is
make the gap bigger between the
clubs, which takes the excitement
out of relay running. Who wants
to travel all the way to Sutton
LETTER OF THE WEEK
Thanks for the memories, Paula

AS a young teacher in 1990 I
once found myself officiating
at the mid-week Bedfordshire
schools cross country
championships at Ampthill with
cold February rain dripping off
my nose with one man and his
dog spectating.
There, I had the good fortune
to witness teenager Paula
Radcliffe snarling and tearing up
the locally known steep incline
heart break hill as though her
life depended on it, a trait that
was soon going to be globally
recognisable.
In 2002, I again saw first hand
her awesome grit in Manchester
during the Commonwealth
Games 5000m and Munich for
the European 10,000m, one of

the most destructive runs Ive
ever witnessed at a major
championship, and Dublin while
she retained her coveted world
cross country title.
Alex Ferguson once said:
Success doesnt happen in
straight lines and Radcliffe is
proof of that.
Even so, it was great to see her
ending her running career on her
own terms last month among a
cast of tens of thousands, and a
million spectators on the streets
of London.
Adieu and thanks for the
inspirational running memories,
Paula.

EVERY WEEK, THE STAR LETTER WILL WIN AN AW BOOKAZINE

Park knowing that you could be
running on your own with minutes
between the clubs in front of you
and behind. Its okay when you are
in the top three but not very nice
when you are down in the field.
Lets get the excitement back
into relay running just like it is for
the National Cross Country Relay.
And the only way to do this is to cut
down on the distances that are run.
Whats wrong in having 12 short
stages that would give the athletes
a better chance to be running
with someone and would also
be a better race to watch for the
spectators? Also, how about letting
clubs having two or three 17-yearolds in their teams?

manager
What about women?

THE first three mens teams at the
Vitality Reading Half Marathon Serpentine, Kent AC and Notts AC
received Sweatshop vouchers to
the value of 400, 200 and 100.
But with an entry fee of 30 and
16,000 places taken, it is surprising
the organisers could not stretch to
equal prizes for men and women.
Congratulations anyway to the
female runners from Bristol & West

AC, Reading AC and Serpentine.
Caroline Stevens, Reading AC
Praise for Paula

I WAS mildly shocked to see a
discussion on BBCs Points of View
about the BBC giving too much
coverage to Paula Radcliffe during
its London Marathon coverage.
One viewer said that everyone in
the race is a champion due to the
money they raise for charity and
that Paula should not have been
singled out as anything special.
How ridiculous! Are we really
meant to treat a distance-running
pioneer and national institution
who has taken the womens world
record to another level the same
as, say, a jogger who plods to a four
or five-hour performance.
Yes, everyone does brilliantly
to finish London Marathon and
everyone has their own personal
challenges and hurdles to
overcome. Raising money along
the way is terrific, too.
But surely Paula deserved to
be highlighted. Or are we meant
to ignore the superheroes of our
sport?

LONDON YOUNGSTER
RECOVERS FROM
SERIOUS INJURY TO
WIN MINI MARATHON
BOROUGHS RACE
Athletics Weekly is
a proud supporter
of the Ron Pickering
Memorial Fund
THE charity, which was
formed in 1991, supports
many of Britains most
talented athletes aged
15-23 with
financial
grants
totalling
tens of
thousands
of pounds every year.
Such is its impact, 51
British Olympians at London
2012 were helped during the
early part of their career by
the Fund.
AVID STONE won the

London Boroughs under-13
event in the Virgin Money
Giving Mini London
Marathon last week despite
having been in a wheelchair or on
crutches for a large part of last
year.
Due to injuries, the 13-year-old
has only been able to train and
race for 16 of the last 28 months
during his short time in athletics.
Last year was particularly
difficult as he spent from
February to June in a wheelchair
and June to August on crutches
due to chronic and age-related
knee problems Osteochondritis
dissecans in one knee and patella
tendinitis in the other.
But he began running again in
late October, building his training
runs gradually from 500 to 5000
metres, and had his first race
back in mid-February when he
qualified for Barnet for the Mini
Marathon.
It was his first big event since
the national road relays in
2013 when he was part of the
Shaftesbury Barnet winning
under-13 team and the overall
winner of the second leg.
At that time, aged 11, he had
PBs of 4:42 for 1500m and 17:24
for 5km but he now hopes to dip
inside 17 minutes and under 4:30

for 1500m this summer.

His proud father, Sheldon,
says: He kept himself fit through
core exercises, swimming and,
from July, cycling, although he
then developed exercise and
cold induced asthma. He realised
he was something like back to
his best when he ran 9:55.7 for
3000m at the Watford Open on
April 8.

didnt go totally smoothly for

David. First he was sick on the
coach travelling to the event.
Then the 4ft 9in tall athlete was
buffeted at the start and fell back
to about 50th place during the
early stages before clawing his
way back into contention.
Eventually he finished sixth
overall and top runner not only
from the Boroughs but from the
south of England. In addition, he
raised 1400 for charity to boot.
Elsewhere in the race, the
overall winner was Tommy
Dawson from Yorkshire and
Humberside with Alfie Bould in
second place from the North
West and another Yorkshire
and Humberside runner, Josh
Dickinson, third.
Finn Harvey finished runnerup in the Borough Challenge, 28
seconds behind David, making it
a one-two for Barnet.
The success was also a case

of third-time lucky for David
because in addition to missing
the 2014 event with injury, he
missed the 2013 Mini Marathon
after bruising a bone badly in a
tobogganing accident.
David, who is coached by
Jeremy Sothcott at Shaftesbury
Barnet and goes to the same
school that international runner
Richard Goodman did, says: I
got into athletics after London
2012. I watched diving and
gymnastics live at the Olympics
and was then inspired watching
Mo Farah win his track races on
television.
On the Mini Marathon itself, he
says: The cold weather made
my asthma worse and I didnt
feel too good during the race, but
there was a great atmosphere
at the finish and we were able
to watch the end of the mens
marathon later in the morning.
His father adds: After showing
sheer strength of character, as
well as persistent cheerfulness
the last eight months, his
story might encourage other
youngsters who might suffer this
or other similar conditions.

and training in the US
THLETE Rosie Clarke credits

a move to study and train
in the US for what she
describes as a dream indoor
season that saw her make her GB
debut when finishing sixth in the
European Indoor Championships
over the metric mile in Prague as
well as improving her 1500m PB to
4:12.10 at the Virginia Challenge in
Charlottesville.
Reflecting on the indoor season,
the 23-year-old Iona College
student says: The Millrose Games
is one of the biggest indoor events
in the world and I was over the
moon when I heard Id got a run
in the Wanamaker Mile and also
earning my place on the GB team
it was something truly special. Im
delighted with how my running has
progressed since coming to Iona
and the cross-country season was
also a big stepping stone for me.
This past winter was the first time I
felt remotely confident on a crosscountry course and Im hoping to
keep on working hard and for my
outdoor season to follow suit.
Although crediting the set-up
and training partners she has at
Iona, Clarke is still coached by
Tom Watson at Bristol, whom
she is quick to credit for her

Pre-race food, postrace food
A self-confessed foodie, Clarke
enjoys fresh, healthy foods and a
good steak after a session. She
reveals: I am often motivated
in sessions by what I can go and
eat afterwards! I am also rarely
seen without a coffee in hand,
particularly prior to races. A good
flat white is probably my greatest
weakness.
Favourite and least

favourite session
She names her favourite session
as something like: 2km (4 minutes
recovery) + (3x600m 2min
30sec recovery) + (3x300m
2min 30sec recovery). Clarke
explains: I like to have the longer
effort at the beginning to get my
legs moving, and then gradually
pick up the pace as I progress

through the session. My least
favourite session is a threshold
run. I literally dread them they
are Toms favourite!
Training group
At Iona, Clarke has a talented
team of athletes to train with,
including NCAA cross country
champion and European crosscountry silver medallist Kate
Avery. She says: It is a fantastic
set-up with supportive coaching
staff. It was great having such
a brilliant group to train with in
the cross-country season, but it
becomes more difficult for us to
link up now that our respective
race distances vary so greatly.
We train in a variety of locations
in the surrounding area, with my
favourite being The Armory.
She also trained on an indoor

track this year, due to the snow in
New York and added: I loved my
set-up with the group in Bristol,
and did not want the style of
approach to undergo any drastic
changes so Tom has stayed
heavily involved. I really miss the
Team Watson guys while I am in
the USA.
Goals
Having enjoyed her GB debut in
Prague, Clarke says it has made
her more determined to succeed.
She explains: My main target for
the coming season is the NCAA
outdoor championships. I placed
fourth in the mile at the NCAA
indoor championships in March
and I am looking forward to seeing
what I can achieve over 1500m in
a couple of months.
She explains: I really want to be

in the best possible environment
for my training, and I am hoping
that by working with some of the
top people in the sport I shall
achieve this.
MARK SHEARMAN
neglecting my speed. The major

emphasis in the autumn is to
build a really good base of aerobic
endurance and then around four
to six weeks out from the indoors,
to concentrate on what he calls the
fast endurance and mixed-length
efforts.
She says: We combine quite
a lot of training, such as doing
threshold and short hills, as well as
track sessions that utilise a mix of
effort lengths. The idea is to always
finish the session with some faster
running, when the legs are tired, as
race practice.
Clarke also implements some
yoga into her training regime,
finding it both helpful and relaxing.
Currently studying for an MBA
in management, as well as an
advanced certificate in Sports and
Entertainment Management, all of
Clarkes classes are in the evening
and so she has found it really
beneficial to be able to train
during the day.
With an interest in a future
career in sports management, she
is planning next year to move back
to the UK and live in Loughborough.

Clarke says: This is a basic strength and conditioning programme with

the focus on core strength and the ability to maintain strong form when
fatigued. In addition, having had some Achilles tendon issues and being
a forefoot runner, I have to do some specific work with my calf muscles.
My standard daily post-run exercises include: straight leg heel raises
over a step, ankle strengthening and mobility work with a theraband, side
clams, lying straight legs raises (front and side) for hip strength, rope
stretching and additional calf stretching using board against a wall.

WITH TEMPERATURES STARTING TO RISE AND THE PACE OF SESSIONS INCREASING, WHAT BETTER
WAY TO GREET THE SUMMER THAN WITH SOME NEW KIT THAT IS SURE TO GET YOU NOTICED?
Falke Ladies Short
Sleeved Shirt
Gore Running Wear Air Print Baggy Short
THE super-light fabric in this shirt

provides fantastic moisture-wicking
qualities, aided by mesh inserts under
the arms and in the back. The quickdrying fabric has a soft handle and
sits well against the skin with minimal
seams to reduce any possible irritation.
Our testers liked the well-tailored fit
and flattering neckline. The garment
washed and dried very well, retaining
its shape, as we expected from this
well-made garment.
Cost: 65
Falke Ladies Hot Pants

WITH a tailored fit, these hot pants
sat well on the waists and hips
of our testers while allowing for
a good range of unrestricted
movement. The lightweight
fabric is moisture-wicking and
quick-drying for performance
on the go. A zip-fly front
combined with a press-stud
fastening provides a different
finishing alternative to the usual drawstring or elasticated waist. A rear
zip pocket proved useful for a small item such as a door key.
Cost: 55
Gore Running Wear

Air Print Shirt
DESIGNED to help you
remain cool while
adding a dash of
colour, this T-shirt
uses different
mesh panel inserts
to aid breathability. All
the fabrics used have a softtouch finish and use flat seams
to prevent chaffing which feel
good against the skin. The shirt
is lightweight, wicks moisture
well and dries quickly both in
use and after washing perfect
for daily use throughout the
summer.
Cost: 54.99
THIS is designed to team-up with the T-shirt and

these shorts also use a super, lightweight fabric
and have a minimalist feel with good coverage.
The slightly longer length proved popular
with our testers, making it ideal for everyday

Three-Quarter Tights
THE extra-wide waistband featured
on these tights is designed to avoid
pressure points around the waist and
stomach and indeed proved to be a
great fit with our test athletes. One of
the testers said: They are probably
the most comfortable tights Ive
ever worn. The three-quarter length
is always a popular choice with
ladies and with a reasonable sized
zip pocket, these tights proved to be

liked the length of the tank,
sitting around hip level and with
its slim shoulder straps they
commented that it would also

a stretch to its construction and
a good, soft handle, making it as
fashionable as it is functional.

THESE garments from X-Bionic are, as ever, high-performance and

high-quality pieces of kit. Like all the brands clothing items, the key
function of the shorts and top is to regulate body temperature and dry
moisture away from the skin. Where these two pieces differ slightly,
though, is that they use new research and technologies to make the
body cool quicker to improve performance.
With most thermoregulation
during athletic activity, when body
temperature rises to a certain
point, sensors in the
back notify the brain via
the spinal cord for the
need of cooling. This is
when sweat is produced
to cool the already
overheated body.
The solution provided
by these garments,
known as The Trick, is along
an insulated zone on the
back of the garments where
overheating is simulated
and the brain kicks in the
production of sweat early,
which cools the body earlier
and more effectively.
The Trick zone which
triggers the cooling effect
is a three-dimensional knitted
area that is placed at the base
of the spine in the shorts
and runs along the length
of the back in the shirt to
give complete coverage.
Both items also feature the
more familiar 3D knitted
areas throughout their
designs to complement
the moisture-wicking,
gradual compression and
temperature-regulating
qualities.
Our testers found
these items to be a great
fit and very effective in
cooling them while on
longer runs. They commented
that they didnt notice themselves becoming
aware of excess sweating or cooling, finding the temperature
regulation to be highly efficient. The garments are very supportive,
providing a good sense of muscle compression while still being very
comfortable. They washed very well and dried quickly and after
several wears and washing cycles they showed no signs of wear and
remained looking pristine. They are available in mens and womens
styles and in a couple of colour options and like all the brands
products have a two-year guarantee.

Nitrate
sources
Beetroot shots
100g baked
beetroot
0.5l beetroot
juice
HE reason beetroot juice

is so popular is due to its
high concentration of the
magic ingredient nitrate.
High concentrations of nitrate
can be found in a variety of other
vegetables, including spinach and
lettuce, but the content varies
depending on where and when
these vegetables are grown.
Beetroot remains the most
reliable and convenient source of
nitrate for use in sport.
Benefits of consuming
beetroot juice
Reductions in the oxygen cost
of exercise lasting 5-30min
The efficiency of energy
metabolism within the muscle is
improved, which means that you
require less oxygen to run at the
same given speed and the energy
cost of muscle power production
is reduced
Enhanced exercise tolerance
and capacity
Sparing of certain energy stores
and blunted production of fatigueprovoking metabolites improves
exercise tolerance, while lowering
the energy cost of exercise allows
us to exercise for longer
Reduced blood pressure
Vasodilation of blood vessels
reduces blood pressure,
demonstrating the wider health
benefits of beetroot juice
Improved cognitive function
Beetroot juice has recently
shown to attenuate the decline in
decision-making and reaction time
that can occur during prolonged
exercise events when athletes
become increasingly fatigued
Improved muscle recovery
Beetroot supplementation has
Beetroot juice
has been
shown in
several studies
to boost
endurance
performance
recently shown to speed up

recovery following eccentric
resistance exercise sessions. This
finding suggests that beetroot
juice may also be useful following
weights or plyometric training
sessions in addition to runningbased sessions. The impact of
beetroot supplementation on
recovery is a newly investigated
topic, which requires further
research to fully support the
findings.
How does it work?

The underlying mechanisms
stimulating improvements in
performance occur once dietary
nitrates have been converted into
nitric oxide within the body. Nitric
oxide has the ability to influence
muscle function by regulating
blood flow, contractility, glucose
and calcium homeostasis and
mitochondrial respiration and
production. Possible mechanisms
include: increased vasodilation of
blood vessels resulting in increased
blood flow to active muscles; a
reduction in the percentage of

VO2 max required to complete a
given exercise task; the sparing
of various energy sources used
during high intensity exercise;
a reduction in accumulation of
metabolites contributing to fatigue.
How much and how often?

A question often asked is ,how
much and how often do I need
to consume beetroot juice for it
to have performance enhancing
effects? Prolonged (up to 15 days)
Nitrate
concentration
4-5mmol/shot
4mmol
5-6mmol
and acute supplementation with

5-8mmol of nitrate have shown
to be effective for improving
performance. If you are planning
to consume beetroot juice on the
day of training or competition, then
you will need to consume it two to
three hours beforehand allowing
time for the nitric oxide levels to
peak within the bloodstream.
Beetroot expert, Prof Andy
Jones at the University of Exeter,
was one of the first researchers
to investigate the performance
enhancing effects of beetroot
juice. His latest review is a great

THE SERIES
CONTINUES THIS
WEEK AT THE HEAD
OF LOCH NESS IN THE
SCOTTISH HIGHLAND
CAPITAL CITY OF
INVERNESS
Inverness Harriers
History
ALTHOUGH founded in 1946,
Inverness Harriers only came to
life in the late 1970s for many of
the intervening years it had been
a major player in Scotland and a
contributor to Scottish and GB
teams at all age levels.
Success is not new to Inverness
Harriers, which is undergoing a
revival after a period of stagnation.
Following a late-1970s expansion,
Jayne Barnetson, Scottish high
jump record-holder since 1985
and with a best of 1.91m, was one
of three Inverness athletes at the
1986 Commonwealth Games.
Another was former Scottish
national 110m hurdles recordholder Neil Fraser (14.11 in 1987)
while further GB internationals
include Jaynes brother, David, the
former Scottish native high jump
record-holder at 2.20m.
Background
proud Inverness athletes. Even

more surprising is that MacKenzie
and MacLean have never moved
away from the small city, which
nevertheless boasts an eight-lane
track.
Club president Keith Geddes
says: Probably the most difficult
decision the committee has had
to make was to freeze the under-11
and under-13 recruitment due to
overcrowding. The place was just
grinding to a halt due to sheer
volume, although were now
expanding sessions into different
time slots to relieve the pressure,
which has allowed more members
to join again nevertheless,
we have now missed that lost
generation.
Sessions
The clubs Tuesday and Thursday
training sessions take place
at Queens Park. With the
membership now above 400, the
facility can be packed with athletes
aged nine to 70.
However, Geddes doesnt
attribute recent expansion entirely
to the legacy of London 2012
and Glasgow 2014. He explains:
We started a rapid increase in
membership before London,
although these two Games did
us no harm at all. We like to think
that what we are doing here has
been the big attraction, especially
for youngsters. They seem to

enjoy the sensible and measured
hard work we give them and our
fortunes changed dramatically for
the better when we abandoned the
fun athletics of earlier years and
consigned the bean bags and hula
hoops to the bin!
On a summer night at the track,
the clubs focal point since 1984,
club secretary Dianne Chisholm
can be seen with her sprinters
doing long-recovery 50m reps with
one eye on her daughter, Rachael
MacKenzie, who shares the high
jump area with the clubs male
jumpers. The sprinters have to
compete for space with former
Scottish team manager Charlie
Forbes endurance runners,
typically tackling their 500m
efforts. Scottish throws coach
ANDREW SHEPHERD
Any club with four athletes at the

Commonwealth Games should
be proud of itself, but when that
club is based in the Highlands
of Scotland and 150 miles away
from the main population centres,
the sense of achievement is even
greater. At those Glasgow 2014
Games, Rachael MacKenzie (high
jump), Jason MacLean (disability
sprinter), Kirsty Law (discus) and
Jamie Bowie (4x400m) were the
Inverness Harriers have experienced

considerable success for such a remote club
Inverness Harriers:
more than 400
members of all ages
Duncan Flockhart and his athletes

sometimes abandon the circles
for some sprint work, while the
junior groups of up to 50 and their
expanding squad of coaches can
see the training areas becoming
very busy indeed.
Apart from the Commonwealth
quartet, Flockharts throwers in
particular have hit the headlines.
They include George Evans, who
won the England Athletics shot
title along with the SIAB and the
UK School Games and topped the
2014 GB under-17 rankings with
17.24m. Others are in the pipeline
across various disciplines.
Space isnt an issue for the
clubs steadily increasing band
of non-track runners the entire
Highlands are on their door step
and one feature known as The
Mast at the summit of the 275m
Craig Dunain, which overlooks
Inverness, is something of an
obsession. Road and cross country
thrive more than hill running and
the groups which head out on
club nights also include a semicompetitive Wednesday squad with
the club catering for all abilities.

ASAFA POWELL won the mens 100m in
10.08 against a strong wind.
The former world 100m recordholder said: I wanted to go sub-10, but
the track is hard. Its an old track, and it
was minus 2.4 (wind speed), so thats a
great opener for me.
World and Olympic champion
Brittney Reese won the long jump with a
windy 6.72m while another in form was
Donald Thomas of Bahamas, who won
the high jump with 2.33m.
World No.1 Aleec Harris continued
his good form to win the 110m hurdles
in 13.18 from Wilhem Belocians 13.30.

JEREMY HEMMING
BMC PB CLASSIC, Street

IN her first track race since last July
Molly Long put down an early marker
that she will be a serious contender to
make the Great Britain team for the
European Under-20 Championships in
Sweden later this summer, Kevin Fahey
reports.
The 18-year-old Bristol & West
AC runner from the seaside village of
Trevone, near Padstow, won the A race
in 2:06.38 to beat her Newquay rival
Charlotte Cayton-Smith into a distant
second on 2:09.29.
That was my first track race for a
long time so I am really pleased with
that, said Long.
Cayton-Smith had asked for a
pacemaker to take them through the
bell in 62 seconds as she sought to
run inside 2:06, which is the qualifying
standard for the European Juniors.
The pacemaker was spot-on as she
went through in 61.9 followed by Long
on 62.2 and Cayton-Smith just a few
strides behind.
Left on her own, Long powered clear
and barely faltered despite incessant
heavy rain, which probably cost her
the qualifying mark, but was still
good enough to be the fastest British
under-20 this summer so far with only
Chelsea Jarvis running quicker indoors
in America.
It was good to go through in that
time because that is something I need
to do regularly, added Long.
Then it is a case of working hard on
that second lap to stay stronger and get
that time down, she continued.

But I am happy with that time in my
first race and I am sure I will go quicker
as the season progresses as I felt very
strong tonight.
Long set her personal best
of 2:05.67 last season when she
also won the English Schools title
and was runner-up in the England
Championships, won by Cayton-Smith.
It was also Cayton-Smiths first
outdoor race of the season and the
Cornwall AC athlete, too, is sure to go
quicker once she sharpens up.
Despite the persistent and heavy
rain the worst weather in the 21-year
history of the event according to
announcer Mike Down, there were 157
PBs from the 301 finishers in 29 races
many of which were English Schools
qualifying standards.
Other noteworthy wins came from
16-year-old Cardiff AC runner Jake
Heyward in the mens 800m race in
1:53.97, while Bristol & Wests Dan
Studley enjoyed a solid solo victory in
the 3000m.

NORTH EAST COUNTIES 10,000m

CHAMPIONSHIPS, Jarrow
PETER NEWTON successfully defended
his 10,000m title, Les Venmore reports.
In the cool and gusty conditions,
Newton, also successful in 2012, led
all the way over the 25 laps, passing
halfway in 15:18. He lapped all of the
field with British Masters Cross Country
champion, Ady Whitwam taking second
place.
Chris Smith overhauled Tom
Straughan on the final lap to finish
third, though the pair gained the minor
County medals, as Whitwam competed
as a guest..
2013 champion, Conrad Franks
finished fifth. W50 Heather Robinson
successfully defended her womens
title, though she was nearly 80 seconds
slower than her 2014 winning time.

CARDIFF BAY 5, Cardiff

ADAM HICKEY and Lauren Deadman
made winning debuts on a day when the
indefatigable Martin Rees smashed his
own world age best.
The 26-year-old Hickey was too
quick for Cardiff AACs Welsh middledistance international Tom Marshall
and ran 23:56 with a winning margin
of 30 seconds. Bristol & Wests Owain
Jones finished third, a further 14
seconds back.
Hickey had already tasted victory
in Cardiff on two previous visits, at the
2014 and 2015 Cardiff Cross Challenge
races, and dominated the race from
start to finish to complete a notable
hat-trick in the Welsh capital.
It was a nice flat, fast course and
that set me the challenge of coming up
with a fast time. The atmosphere was
terrific, admitted Hickey, who finished
19 seconds outside his lifetime best,
set in 2013.
Im going to have one more run on
the roads before I hit the track for the
summer. Im running a 10,000 metres
at Highgate and then it will be back to
5000m.
I want to improve on the track
this summer and then ultimately start
thinking about moving up in distance.
I think its probably a bit early to think
about a half-marathon this year, but
maybe next year.
While Hickey was slightly down
on his PB, the former Tulsa University
athlete Marshall stripped 13 seconds
from his previous best to give his coach,
James Thie, a sign that he is ready for a
strong track season.
In the womens field, Deadman was
running her first competitive five-mile
race and was delighted to prove she is
back to full fitness with her victory in
27:28 47 seconds ahead of Lliswerrys
Emma Wookey.
Deadman said: I really enjoyed it.
I havent raced since January, but I felt
good and the atmosphere was great.
Its a good stepping stone for me.
I am aiming to run 5000m on the track
this summer and then maybe make
my half-marathon debut back here in
Cardiff in October.
Les Croupiers running machine
Martin Rees lowered his own age-62
world record by 27 seconds to 27:05.
He said: Its one of my own records
and I really had a good go at it. Im really
pleased with the time and now I want to
bring my world half-marathon record
back to Wales by breaking it again in the
Swansea Half-marathon.
There were more than 2500 entries
for the five-mile race and 2km family
fun run, which started and finished in
front of the Wales Millennium Centre in
the heart of Cardiff Bay.

Houston lifts-off his ultra career

ANGLO CELTIC PLATE 100km,
Redwick
ROSS HOUSTON went to sixth on the
UK all-time list as he won with 6:43:35
on his ultra debut.
The event was last held on the
same two-mile course as three years
ago in scorching conditions. This year
conditions were perfect for distance
running with cool temperatures and
some light rain and, although the field
was small, performances were of a very
high standard and the first five men
and first three women ran PBs.
The event was a journey into the
unknown for Houston, who was a 2014
Commonwealth Games marathon
representative for Scotland with a PB
of 2:18:28.
Houston set the early pace,
covering the first couple of laps
ahead of schedule, with the English
contingent of Phil Anthony, Marcus
Scotney and Craig Holgate in pursuit.
After a brisk start Houston
began covering each lap with great
consistency in around 12:20. It was
Englands Phil Anthony who took the
race on after the first few laps and

to slow, but he dug very deeply, despite

being unable to hold food and drink
down, to hold a pace of 13:00 to 13:30
per lap.
He crossed the line in a notable
6:43:35 to become UK and Scottish
champion. He also achieved the
individual qualifying mark set by
British Athletics for the World 100km
championships in Netherlands in
September.
Meanwhile, the battle behind
ended with Holgate in second place
just outside seven hours and leading
England to victory in the Anglo-Celtic
Plate team competition
He admitted to finding the last 15
miles particularly challenging. He said:
All the advice I received beforehand
was that you had to be patient in the
early stages of a 100km in order to be
strong in the last third. I set off aiming
to hold 6:30 miles, which I knew would
feel very easy and, although I was
leading after the first lap, when Phil
came past me shortly afterwards, I just
let him go and stuck to my plan.
He was certainly struggling when
I passed him around 75km. The last 15
miles, I was struggling to hold down

SUNDERLAND CITY 10km/HALFMARATHON, Sunderland
ETHIOPIANS won the two races, with
Sunderland-based athletes taking the
womens titles, Les Venmore reports.
The driving rain and the gusty
conditions meant all the existing course
records were safe for another year.
Cleveland-based Wondiye Indelbu, a
medallist in the 1500m at the 2012
Paralympics, fought off the strong
challenge of Ian Hudspith, finishing 17
seconds clear.
Alyson Dixon, winner of the halfmarathon last year, this time took the
10km title finishing in seventh place
overall in the 1630-strong field.
Dixon won the race in 2012 and 2013.
Tadele Geremew, husband of 10km
drinks, and it was certainly as much of

a mental challenge running those last
few laps, as a physical one.
In the womens race, Katie
Samuelson led almost start to finish to
win the individual race in 8:38:11.
Late withdrawals had
disappointingly prevented Wales and
England fielding full teams, which
left the Scottish trio of Rosie Bell,
Charlotte Black and Keziah Higgins to
dominate team proceedings.

Clare Elms, who was first W50 in
London but narrowly missed the UK
record after a badly judged first half,
which was more than 10 minutes faster
than her second, showed better pacing
over 10km.
England under-17 3000m champion,
Jess Keene, 35 years her junior, built up

ATHLETICS, WRITES
SIMON TURNBULL
NOTHER Super Saturday

awaits Jessica Ennis-Hill when
the golden girl of London
2012 makes her long-awaited
return to competition in the
Great CityGames Manchester on
Saturday.
The Sheffield athlete, who
clinched heptathlon gold on that
unforgettable Saturday night three
years ago in her home Olympic
Stadium, will step back into the
spotlight when she lines up against
European champion Tiffany Porter
and world champion Brianna
Rollins in the 110m hurdles on
Deansgate.
It will be Ennis-Hills first taste
of competitive action since July
2013, when she finished fourth in
Deansgate
prepares to host
another sizzling
afternoon of
CityGames action
the 100m hurdles and eighth in

the long jump in the Anniversary
Games in the Olympic Stadium.
Her post-Olympic season was cut
short by an ankle injury and then
she missed the whole of 2014 due
to pregnancy and the birth of her
son, Reggie, in July last year.
Now the 29-year-old is ready
to hit the comeback trail, aiming

to get back into the swing of
competition this summer in
preparation for the defence of her
Olympic crown in Rio next year.
Im really looking forward
to making my competitive
return, said Ennis-Hill, who will
be competing in front of the
Jessica EnnisHill: prepares

to kick off her
2015 season in
Manchester
BBC television cameras and an

expected crowd of 25,000.
The atmosphere in Manchester
is always amazing. Street athletics
is a lot of fun because you are really
close to the fans.
It will be Ennis-Hills fourth
appearance in the Great
CityGames Manchester. She
won the 150m in 2010, finished
second in the 150m and third in
the 100m hurdles in 2011 and won
the 100m hurdles at the start of
her triumphant Olympic season in
2012.
Her 2015 debut comes just
three weeks before she is due
to return to heptathlon action in
Gotzis in Austria, where she will
go head to head with Katarina
Johnson-Thompson, the 22-yearold Liverpool Harrier who has
established herself as the worlds
leading female combined events
athlete over the past 12 months.
Johnson-Thompson, who broke
Ennis-Hills British record en route
to pentathlon gold at the European
Indoor Championships in Prague in
March, will be making her debut in
the Great CityGames Manchester,
competing in the 200m hurdles
against European 400m hurdles
champion Eilidh Child.
Other stars in action include long

jumper Greg Rutherford who,
like Ennis-Hill, also delivered home
gold on Super Saturday at London
2012 and double European sprint
champion Dafne Schippers of the
Netherlands.
World and European indoor
60m champion Richard Kilty lines
up in the 100m and also takes
part in a special mixed 2x100m
relay, partnering European and
Commonwealth 200m silver
medallist Jodie Williams.
Republic athlete caused one of the
upsets of the Games by completing
a prolonged Olympic double. The
37-year-old faces a trio of fellow
400m hurdles specialists: 2006
Commonwealth champion LJ van
Zyl of South Africa and Britons
Niall Flannery and Seb Rodger.
Aries Merritt: Olympic champion faces strong hurdles field
Long jump: Greg Rutherford

tackles his first competition of an
outdoor season in which he aims
to complete a full set of major
championship gold medals. Having
landed Olympic gold in 2012 and
European and Commonwealth
titles last summer, the 28-yearold Milton Keynes athlete has his
sights on the long jump crown at
the IAAF World Championships in
Beijing in August.
Rutherford, who topped the
world rankings with a British
record leap of 8.51m last year,
will be up against one of the men
who made the medal frame at
the last World Championships in
Moscow two years ago: runnerup Ignisious Gaisah of the
Netherlands. Intriguingly, he also
faces Dan Bramble, the 24-year-old
Shaftesbury Barnet Harrier who
leapt to fifth place on the UK alltime ranking list with a 8.21m jump
in Clermont, Florida, two weeks
ago. British indoor record holder
Chris Tomlinson and Americans
Mikese Morse and Mike Hartfield
complete the line-up.
Men
100m: Two months after adding
the European indoor 60m crown
to the world indoor title he won in
2014, Gateshead Harrier Richard
Kilty faces an intriguing 100m
head to head with Kim Collins,
the 38-year-old St Kitts and Nevis
speed merchant who was the
undisputed world number one
on the boards in the 2015 indoor
season. Collins, who won the 2002
Commonwealth Games 100m title
in Manchester, was unbeaten in
nine 60m finals, topped the world
rankings with 6.47 seconds, and
was a decisive winner against Kilty
on Polish soil in Lodz and Torun.
The pair have met four times
at 100m and Collins has won all
four. The line-up also includes CJ
Ujah, the 21-year-old Londoner
who broke through the ten second
barrier last summer, and 2010
world indoor 60m silver medallist
Mike Rodgers of the USA.
150m: Churandy Martina,

the 30-year-old Dutchman who
won the European 200m title last
summer, is the pedigree man in
the field. A member of the sub-10
seconds club for 100m and sub20 seconds for 200m, Martina
easily got the better of Danny
Talbot and James Ellington over
200m at the Tom Jones Classic
in Gainesville, Florida two weeks
ago. The British relay runners
will have the chance to turn the
tables on the green, green grass
(or, rather, on the orangey-brown
sprint strip) of home. However, the
field also features Curtis Mitchell,
the American who took World
Championship 200m bronze
behind Jamaicans Usain Bolt and
Warren Weir in Moscow in 2013.
110m hurdles: Britains

Lawrence Clarke, fourth in the
Olympic final in London in 2012,
faces a tough test against two
reigning global champions. The
2010 Commonwealth bronze
medallist lines up against Aries
Merritt, the American who clinched
Olympic gold in London and then
clocked a world record 12.80
seconds in Brussels in 2012, and
American David Oliver, winner of
the 2013 world title in Moscow. Also
in the field is Olympic sixth-placer
Orlando Ortega of Cuba.
200m hurdles: Like Merritt,
Felix Sanchez also landed hurdles
gold at London 2012. Eight years

Athens in 2004, the Dominican

Germany who was a surprise
winner over 200m in Manchester
a year ago. Former javelin thrower

are also in the field.

the English sprinters who placed
third and fourth respectively in the
Commonwealth Games 200m final
in Glasgow last summer: Bianca
Williams and Anyika Onuora.
150m: Flying Dutchwoman
Dafne Schippers takes on the
young British sprinter who claimed
European 200m silver in her
slipstream in Zurich last August,
Jodie Williams. Schippers, whose
sprint double in Zurich emulated
celebrated countrywoman Fanny
Blankers-Koens feat at the 1950
European Championships in
Brussels, will start as the strong
favourite ahead of Williams, the
22-year-old from Hertfordshire
who also won Commonwealth
200m silver in 2014.
The field features two other
burgeoning Brits: European indoor
60m silver medallist Dina AsherSmith and European 100m bronze
medallist Ashleigh Nelson.
100m hurdles: In her first
competition since July 2013,
Olympic heptathlon champion
Jessica Ennis-Hill goes head to
head with the woman who broke
her British record for the 100m
hurdles at the IAAF Continental
Cup in Marrakesh in September
last year. Tiffany Porters 12.51
seconds clocking in Morocco
shaved 0.03 seconds off the time
Dafne Schippers: will

battle over 150m with
Britains Jodie Williams
of 400m hurdles specialists in

this rarely-run event. The race
marks the 2015 debut of one of the
British stars of 2014, Eilidh Child,
the Scot who won Commonwealth
400m hurdles silver on home
ground in Glasgow last summer
and European gold in Zurich. The
field includes Birchfields Meghan
Beesley, who beat Child in the
same event last year in 25.05
seconds shattering the world
best time set by Perri ShakesDrayton in Manchester in 2013.
Child was 0.79 seconds behind in
second place. Also in the line-up
is Shona Richards, the Windsor
Slough and Eton athlete who won
World Junior 400m hurdles silver
last summer.
200m hurdles: Katarina

Pole vault: Greek vaulter

Nikoleta Kiriakopoulou will have
bitter-sweet memories of her
2014 visit. The 2012 European
bronze medallist snapped her
pole in making a second attempt
at 4.50m, crashed to the mat
with blood streaming from her
left hand and was taken away in
a wheelchair to have her wound
stitched at Wythenshawe Hospital.
Kiriakopoulou won on countback
from Germanys Kristina
Gadschiew, who also returns. The
clear favourite, however, will be
4.90m vaulter Yarisley Silva, the
reigning world indoor champion
from Cuba. Italys Roberta Bruni,
Germanys Katharina Bauer and
Birchfield Harrier Henrietta Paxton
also compete.

event of her triumphant heptathlon
campaign at London 2012.
Porter has run 34 of the 35
fastest 100m hurdles times by a
British woman and has been in
excellent early-season form in
the United States, clocking 12.56
seconds in Clermont, Florida, two
weeks ago. The returning EnnisHill will also have to contend with
reigning world champion Brianna
Rollins of the United States and the
rising Briton Lucy Hatton, who took
60m hurdles silver at the European
Indoor Championships two months
ago and improved her lifetime
best in the 100m hurdles to 12.84
seconds as runner-up to Porter in
Clermont.
Youngsters set to race

THE Morrisons Junior and Mini
Great Manchester Run takes
place at Heaton Park on Saturday
for around 2500 children aged
3-15.
All Junior and Mini runners will
receive their very own running
T-shirt, a goody-filled finishers
pack and that all-important medal
as they run about 2km in the Mini
(for ages 3-8) and two miles in the
Junior run (for ages 9-15).
The Great Mini Run is part
of the GO Run For Fun (GRFF)
campaign, sponsored by INEOS,
which inspires children to be more
active through well-organised
short distance running events.
The events go off in a series of
waves from 10am on May 9.
Long jump: With her return
to heptathlon action at the end of
the month in Gotzis in mind, Dafne
Schippers tests her long jump
form against a field that includes
two Americans who have gone
close to the magic seven-metre
mark. Whitney Gipson boasts a
lifetime best of 6.97m, while 2008
Olympic finalist Funmi Jimoh
has jumped 9.96m. Schippers
has a best of 6.78m, which she
jumped in Amsterdam in July last
year, breaking Sharon Jaklofskys
18-year-old Dutch record by three
centimetres.
Following the withdrawal of
Morgan Lake, home hopes are
pinned on Commonwealth silver
medallist Jazmin Sawyers. Chantel
Malone of the British Virgin Isles,
fourth at Glasgow 2014, completes
the line-up.
Mixed 2x100m relay: Expect
fun and games in a novel mixed
relay that pits two British pairs
(Jodie Williams-Richard Kilty and
Dinah Asher-Smith-Chijindu Ujah)
against the US duo of Kelli Wells

Golden oldies set to shine

JO PAVEY, HAILE
GEBRSELASSIE AND
BERNARD LAGAT ARE
AMONG THE STARS
IN SUNDAYS 10KM
Haile Gebrselassie: fivetime winner in Manchester
O PAVEY and Haile Gebrselassie

lead the charge of the
golden oldie brigade in the
40,000-strong Morrisons Great
Manchester Run on Sunday.
Both Pavey, the 41-year-old
mother-of-two who won European
10,000m gold last summer, and
Gebrselassie, the 42-year-old twotime Olympic 10,000m champion,
face major challenges in Europes
biggest 10km road race which
will also feature Britains six-time
Paralympic gold medallist David
Weir.
Pavey lines up against a trio
of reigning global champions
in the elite womens field of the
prestigious IAAF Gold Label
event: Gebrselassies compatriot
Meseret Defar, holder of the world
and Olympic 5,000m titles; 2012
Olympic marathon gold medallist
Tiki Gelana, also of Ethiopia; and
Kenyas world marathon champion
Edna Kiplagat.
Gebrselassie faces 40-year-old
former world 1500m and 5000m
champion Bernard Lagat of the
USA, who will be making his 10km
road race debut, former world
10,000m champion Ibrahim Jeilan
Jess Coulson: faces Jo Pavey

and Gemma Steel
of Ethiopia and Kenyas former

marathon world record-holder
Wilson Kipsang.
However, the big challenge
on the day for the 27-time world
record-breaker will be to complete
the course not once but twice. After
taking on Lagat and Co in the elite
mens race, Gebrselassie will join
the masses to run the course for a
second time, savouring the special
atmosphere of the Morrisons Great
Manchester Run.
For Pavey, the 10km race will be
a first taste of competitive action in
2015, following a trailblazing year
in which she won Commonwealth
5000m bronze and European
10,000m gold on the track as a
40-year-old and finished third in
the BBC Sports Personality of the
Year.
It will be the Exeter Harriers first
major road race since 2012 and
a chance for her to complete an
historic hat-trick of victories. Pavey
prevailed in Manchester in 2007
and 2008 and will be looking to
become the first three-time winner
of the elite womens section.
Im really excited about getting
back on the road and lining up
again in the Morrisons Great
Manchester Run, she said. Its
one of my favourite races and Im
looking forward to getting back into
some top-class road racing again
this year.
I very much see this year as an

opportunity to mix track with road.
Last year I had to focus solely on
the track and really missed road
racing. This year is a chance to mix
the two because next year Ill have
to refocus on the track again.
Obviously I would love to try and
qualify for the Olympics in 2016,
although Im not complacent about
that. It will be hard to get on the
British team because there are a
lot of good girls coming through.
Pavey, who has competed in
the last four Olympic Games, will
be joined by a strong contingent
of fellow Britons: European cross
country champion Gemma Steel,
who was runner-up to Tirunesh
Dibaba last year; former European
junior cross country champion
Charlotte Purdue; Scot Beth
Potter, who finished fifth in the
Commonwealth Games 10,000m
final last summer; and Stockport
Harrier Jess Coulson, winner of the
2015 Morrisons Great Edinburgh
Run.
Gebrselassie, widely-regarded as
the greatest distance runner of alltime, will be challenging for a sixth
victory in the elite mens section,
having won in 2005, 2009, 2010,
2011 and 2012.
Manchester is one of my
favourite cities in the world to
race in, said Gebrselassie. The
atmosphere, the people and the
organisation are all fantastic. This

time after I have competed in the
elite race on May 10 I am going
to jog round the 10km again with
another wave of runners.
It will be a unique experience for
me and I look forward to meeting
some of those who have cheered
me on before!
Lagat, the second fastest 1500m
runner in history, has pledged to
have a crack at the over-40s
masters world record of 28:00 that
Gebrselassie clocked when he was
third in Manchester in 2013.
Despite the presence of Lagat
and Gebrselassie, the man to
beat in the elite mens race could
well be Jeilan, the Ethiopian who
outsprinted Mo Farah to win the
world 10,000m title in Daegu in
2011 and took 10,000m silver
behind the Briton at the 2013 IAAF
World Championships in Moscow.
The field features South African
Stephen Mokoka, who finished
third in last years race behind
Kenenisa Bekele and Kipsang,
the Olympic marathon bronze
medallist who finished runner up
to Eliud Kipchoge in the London
Marathon two weeks ago. Also in
the line up are 2008 world cross
country silver medallist Leonard
Komon of Kenya and Ethiopian
half marathon specialist Tesfaalem
Mehari. The British contingent
includes Andy Butchart, Lee
Merrien, John Beattie and Ross
Millington.
Weir, the 35-year-old Londoner
who won four golds in his home
town Olympics three years ago (to
add to the two he won in Beijing in
2008), will be looking to extend his
record number of victories in the
wheelchair race to seven.
Weir won his first Great
Manchester title in 2004 and his
sixth in 2011. His course record,
21 minutes 11 seconds, has stood
since 2007.
The wheelchair race begins at
10.55am; elite women 11.15am;
elite men 11.37am.

Craziness and controversy in the world of athletics
Runners love Labour, says BHF poll
Randall Cunningham Jnr

with his sister Vashti
MARK SHEARMAN
WHATEVER the result of this

weeks General Election, the
running community is more likely
to vote for Labour according to
research done by the British Heart
Foundation.
The psychological study,
conducted by Mindlab, surveyed
2000 adults across the UK and has
uncovered that the type of sport we
choose reveals a lot about our
personality traits.
In other sports, cyclists are more
likely to vote Liberal, gyms are
apparently full of typical
Conservative voters, while those
who do yoga are probably the
people most tempted to vote for
the Green Party.
Our choice of sport can reveal
how charitable we are, the type of
newspapers we are most likely to
read and suggest how we might
vote in the General Election.
The survey also revealed that
over half (61%) of British adults
wanted to take on a challenge for
charity, whatever their sports
personality type.
Politics aside, when it comes to
personalities the research shows
that runners are the most
extrovert, cyclists are more likely to
be emotionally stable, swimmers
Runners prefer Labour,

says a recent poll
the happiest and walkers the least

materialistic.
Runners also generally like
listening to upbeat music and love
to be the centre of attention a
result that goes against the widely
held belief that runners are often
likely to be introverts and loners as
they quietly plough through their
mileage each week.
The study also showed that
running is popular in Leeds and
Newcastle but cycling dominates in
Birmingham and London and
swimming is more popular in
Cardiff, Dublin and Manchester.

The research celebrates the
launch of the BHFs 2015 events
series, which offers all sporting
personalities an event to suit them.
The series includes over 70 events
across the UK and overseas
ranging from runs, swims, cycle
rides to treks.
Dr David Lewis, neuropsychologist
and founder of Mindlab, says: It
has long been known that exercise
is not only good for your body, but
also your mind. Past research has
shown that exercising can act as a
British athlete
politicians
Seb Coe is a former
Conservative MP for Falmouth and
Camborne.
Menzies Campbell is MP
for North East Fife and formerly
Leader of the Liberal Democrats,
while in his younger days he was
British 100m record-holder and GB
athletics team captain.
Chris Chataway was the first
BBC Sports Personality of the Year
winner and also a Conservative
politician.
Jeffrey Archer is another former
Conservative politician who had
a great turn of speed in his youth,
representing his country in sprints.
Matthew Parris, a former
Conservative MP, is the fastest
politician to have run the London
Marathon with a best of 2:32:57.
mood-enhancer, can be used to
treat and possibly even prevent
anxiety and generally has a
positive effect on mental health.
The results from this study show
that no matter what kind of person
you are, there is the right kind of
exercise for everyone.

Keeping up with
the Cunninghams
WATCH out for the name
Cunningham in the coming
years as the super-talented
family with that name from Las
Vegas is starting to make its
mark in the world of athletics.
Randall Cunningham Jnr is
the worlds top under-20 high
jumper this year with 2.24m,
while his younger sister Vashti
is the worlds No.1 youth in the
same event with 1.94m a US
high school record.
Where do they get their
talent? Well their dad, who is
also called Randall, is an
American Football legend who

played quarterback for the
Philadelphia Eagles, Minnesota
Vikings, Dallas Coyboys and
Baltimore Ravens.
Their uncle and Randall
Snrs brother Sam
Cunningham was also a top
player in the NFL with the New
England Patriots.
The youngsters mum,
meanwhile, is a former
professional ballerina.
Randall Jnr is also a talented
American Footballer but insists
athletics is his No.1 sport.
