An age-old dilemmaWHAT is the best age for a child to join an athletics club? It’s a subject of much debate and even clubs cannot decide, with varying rules from one area to another.

Start 'em young and you risk boredom and burn-out. Wait until they’re older and they could be playing catch-up when it comes to mastering basic skills. That’s if you haven’t already lost them to another sport that welcomed them at an earlier age.

Some clubs, such as Sale Manchester Harriers, open their doors to six-year-olds. Others, like Belgrave Harriers, play the waiting game and have an offi cial joining age of 11.

Alan Mead, Belgrave secretary, says: “We believe children really need to be 11 to join in with organised training in a group of around 80 children who could be as old as 15-16. Additionally, the admin of collecting subs, etc, for children less than 11, who may only stay for a short time, is a burden.”

But he adds: “In practice we don’t turn anyone away. If the child has a brother or sister already with us or they are nearly 11 then they often join us anyway.”

Belgrave also directs 9 and 10-year-olds to Wandsworth Junior AC, where the youngsters enjoy athletics on a pay-as-you-go basis at Belgrave’s HQ.

Flexibility is the key and Blackheath & Bromley Harriers AC has a similar theory. Rob Brown, the club’s membership secretary, says B&B accepts children who are starting secondary school and about to compete in the under-13 age group, but younger kids in the area can join the local Bees Academy, for example, a feeder club for Blackheath.

There's no “right” answer, but most clubs use common sense and caution. With the basic principles of athleticism at the core of every sport, it’s logical to start athletics training relatively early, but at under-11 level it should be a children’s version of athletics, such as sports hall, not adult track and fi eld with full-size implements.

Time is running outWITH the announcement of Britain’s team for the European Team Championships in Gateshead just days away, should we be concerned that nearly one in three of the country’s London 2012 Olympians

have yet to compete (see p9)? While we wish those who are injured well, a fresh batch of athletes are coming

through and performing well so we can expect a solid team roster to come out of Athletics House next Tuesday.

However, as the Americans are virtually already at their peak for their trials which are two weeks away, several of Britain’s top athletes may be slightly panicking with the IAAF World Championships in Moscow in mind.

Only time will tell if they have left it too late.Paul Halford, News editor

GB runners denied Athens medalsTHE British quartet that fi nished fourth in the women’s 4x400m relay at the 2004 Olympics will not be upgraded to bronze despite the admission of one of the members of the winning American squad that she was using performance-enhancing drugs.

Crystal Cox, who ran in the heats for USA in Athens, was stripped in 2010 of her gold medal by the International Olympic Committee after admitting to using anabolic steroids from 2001 to 2004.

It was expected that the United States would thus disqualify the foursome of Sanya Richards, Dee Dee Trotter, Monique Henderson and Monique Hennegan, who took gold in the fi nal, and that Russia, Jamaica and Britain would be promoted in the medal standings.

However, after a long-winded and messy process, the IOC declared last week that the matter was closed, meaning that Lee McConnell, Christine Ohuruogu, Catherine Murphy and Donna Fraser would not receive bronze medals.

Beginning what appears to be a ridiculous administration error, the IAAF announced in March

2010 that the US team would be disqualifi ed. However, that was never actually done as the IAAF and IOC apparently passed responsibility to each other over who was responsible until the confi rmation last week that the time allowed for the adjustment of results had passed.

The only chance of the GB team gaining the medals would appear to be going through the Court of Arbitration for Sport and UKA are understood to be investigating before considering what action to take.

The men’s American 4x400m relay team that took golds at the

2000 Olympics lost their medals after one of their fi nal quartet, Antonio Pettigrew, some years later admitted to have been using banned drugs.

However, in 2010 relay team-mates of the disgraced Marion Jones had their 2000 Olympic medals restored by the CAS. Jones helped USA to 4x100m golds and 4x400m bronzes, boosted by illegal drugs as she would later admit. But the CAS found that the IAAF rules at the time did not allow innocent relay members to lose medals. However, that rule had been amended by 2004. American Adam Nelson was last week offi cially confi rmed as 2004 Olympic shot champion.

Ukrainian Yiriy Bilonog was stripped of the gold medal in December after a retest of his sample from eight years earlier in Athens revealed he had committed a doping off ence.

Nelson is now listed as the winner with 21.16m, his fi rst-round eff ort, which turned out to be his only legal throw. Denmark’s Joachim Olsen moves to second and Spain’s Manuel Martinez to third.

FRANK SALVAT, the former AAA champion and 1960 Olympian, has died at the age of 78.

Recognised widely as one of the sport’s great characters, he represented his country on the track, road and cross country, including competing for Britain in the 5000m at the Rome Olympics.

He won the AAA 3 miles in 1960 in 13:32.90 with a devastating sprint-finish and in the same year took the Inter-Counties title over that distance. His PB, set that year within a 5000m, was 13:28.2.

He was first noticed when winning the bronze medal at the 1956 National junior race.

A former member of Finchley Harriers and Portsmouth road relay team in the 1960s, he also had a mile PB of 4:02.0.

He was notable for his exploits in paarlauf races alongside his training partner Eric Shirley and they beat the duo of Olympic medallists Gordon Pirie and John Disley at Chiswick Track in 1958. Frank would always anchor the partnership in such races and, as Eric said: “If I could keep in

touch, I knew that on the gun lap if Frank was in the lead or close to it, nobody, but nobody, could touch him in a sprint finish.”

Eric Shirley Jnr recalls having watched them train together and said: “Frank was a larger than life character and his running exploits are the stuff of legend. As many have said, if you have heard an unbelievable story regarding Frank, don’t believe a word of it – it was usually twice as bad!”

His funeral will take place on June 11 at 10am at Woodvale Crematorium, Brighton.

True character Salvat dies aged 78Bill Whistlecroft MBEBILL WHISTLECROFT, president of Yeovil Olympiads and Somerset Schools Athletic Association, has died aged 80.

A local athletics administrator and coach, he was known to many as a stadium announcer.

“Bill was the heart and soul of Yeovil Olympiads and his like will not be seen again – he will be sorely missed,” read a statement on Yeovil Olympiads’ website.

John DorganJOHN DORGAN, founder of the now defunct London Irish AC, has died at the age of 76.

TWELVE months after considering whether he had a future in the sport, Jonny Mellor has bounced back to earn his fi rst GB vest on the track this Saturday.

The Liverpool Harrier, who is an unfunded full-time athlete, is part of a fi ve-strong team for the European Cup 10,000m in Pravets, Bulgaria.

However, after being disappointed with a track 10,000m in Palo Alto in spring 2012, he briefly thought about quitting. Having run one second outside his road PB, he said: “I had invested all the money I had to go out to America and race and I ran really badly. I was carrying an injury at the time and I thought ‘how long can I keep going in the sport? I’m not making any money from it. I don’t seem to be making any breakthrough’.

“I did question it, but I thought it’s what I love doing,” he added, explaining his problems were eased by fi nding a part-time job.

Despite no longer having that job, he is now in a much more positive state of mind as he is injury-free and is looking for a time of sub-28:30 in Bulgaria.

The ‘B’ standard for the World Championships of 28:05 may be beyond him, he admits, though adding: “For me it’s all long-term progression and going under 28:30 would be a step in the right direction.”

Of his selection, he said: “Last year I got off ered the chance to do it but turned it down due to injury so it makes it even sweeter to go back this year and do it.”

Mellor was selected after a 29:21 in the Bupa Great Manchester Run 10km the previous weekend. The £750 he received there as fi rst Brit came in very handy for him in his current predicament and that added to a £300 bonus for a local 10km win the week before, which he did as a tempo training run.

He has gained a reputation as one of Britain’s top road runners, but can only live off prize money for so long and says he will re-evaluate his full-time status after making a step-up to the marathon in Amsterdam in October.

“My parents are saying I need to get a job,” said the Dave Evans-coached athlete. “I’m 26 and living at my girlfriend’s mum and dad’s house, so it’s not ideal but these are the sacrifi ces you make.”

It could all have been so diff erent had he accepted the place he was off ered a few years ago on British Triathlon’s Tri-gold scheme, which saw athletes such as Adam

Bowden and Kate Hewison being funded to train full-time.

But Mellor, who competes in swimming occasionally for Hoylake Swimming Club, has no regrets and added: “I was halfway through a degree and running’s my main passion and I wanted to fulfi ll my potential before moving to triathlon. But I defi nitely will do a triathlon one day.

“I do think, ‘what if?’ but everything happens for a reason,” he said. Read all about Jonny Mellor’s training programme in a forthcoming issue of AW

Stockport are hoping for Ethiopian tripSTOCKPORT HARRIERS have become the fi rst club to enter themselves into a draw to win a trip to Ethiopia in the Bupa Great Run Club Challenge.

The 14 athletes in their scoring team took victory in Bupa Great Manchester Run, the fi rst qualifying race in the competition.

The winning teams from the other six events to follow will be entered into the draw, with one lucky club gaining an all-expenses paid fi ve-day trip to the Great Ethiopian Run on November 24.

Stockport’s seven men and seven women averaged a time of 38:32 for the 10km race to easily fi nish ahead of runners-up Sale Harriers (42:58) in the standings.

The other qualifying events, which are also organised by Nova International, are the Bupa Great North 10km (June 23), Bupa Great Edinburgh Run (July 14), Bupa

Great North Run (September 15), Bupa Great Yorkshire Run (September 29), Bank of Scotland Great Scottish Run (October 6) and Bupa Great Birmingham Run (October 20).

The winners will travel for a

long weekend stay from Thursday to Monday at the 4* Yaya Africa Athletics Village just outside Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian capital. See www.yayavillage.com.

Not only will they have the opportunity to race in Africa’s

biggest road race, but also have a personal meeting with Haile Gebrselassie, who is heavily involved in the organisation of the race.

“Now Stockport Harriers have won the fi rst confrontation of the Great Run Club Challenge we are looking forward to the remaining meetings, which off ers a great opportunity for British athletic teams to make the trip of a lifetime,” said David Newton, Nova International’s managing director. Stockport Harriers’ team: Michael Sawrey 32:00; Adrian Nutter 35:12; Paul Andrew Johnston 35:43; Martin Rutter 35:58; Dean Matkin 36:02; Gavin Astin 36:02; Charlie Batho 36:14; Louise Rudd 37:45; Jenny Knass 38:23; Jayne Lawton 39:27; Faye Waterhouse 42:15; Rachael Blight 42:23; Gillian Doolan 45:32; Sophie Seingier 46:24

Birmingham youngsters win finalsTWO youngsters from the same school showed great promise at the recent culmination of the national Great School Sprint programme.

Staged by Nova International, 8000 students tried to progress from school-level sprints to the recent BT Great CityGames in Manchester.

Yusuf Ojebode and Lemayah Isaac, both from North Birmimgham Academy, took victories over 150m in Manchester on the same specially-laid track down which the likes of Allyson Felix and Jonnie Peacock also sprinted on the same day.

Even though 150m is rarely run, their times of 18.68 and 21.12 – the wind reading 1.2m/sec against in both cases – would stand up well against the best times in the country for their under-13 age group for 100m and 200m.

Sprint races in schools in Manchester, Portsmouth, Newscastle, Gateshead and Birmingham were held for year-seven students and the fastest were invited to take part

at the Great School Sprint Finals at various locations. From these the best competed at the televised Manchester city-centre event where they were watched by thousands.

Mark Lewis Francis, who competed in the BT Great CityGames 100m later in the programme and watched the races, described Yusuf as an “incredible athlete with serious potential. These kids are the stars of tomorrow”.

Ojebode appears to be new to the sport as he is not listed on statistical athletics websites, whereas Isaac is a more frequent competitor in traditional track and field.

Wootton leads in GPKATRINA WOOTTON leapt to the top of the RunBritain Grand Prix women’s standings after the third event, the recent Bupa London 10,000.

Wootton won that London 10km and, thanks to time bonuses there and in the Bristol 10km, is well placed in the six-event series.

But with four races to count and the Swansea Bay 10km (Sept 22), Cardiff Half-marathon (Oct 6) and Leeds Abbey Dash 10km (Nov 17) to come, the battle for the £3000 first prize is wide open.

Gemma Steel, who gained a time bonus in Bristol in beating Wootton, could also launch a significant challenge.

The men’s grand prix is even more wide open with Nick Torry, who ran 30:37 in Bristol, leading the way among those that have done all three events.

Phil Wicks, who was second behind Mo Farah in the London 10,000, has raced only one event, but is among several runners who could be concentrating on the second half of the campaign.

Dave Webb is another contender.

PHOTOGRAPHS of leading veteran athletes are being showcased in an exhibition in London this month.

The pictures were taken by Alex Rotas at world and European masters championships in 2011 and 2012 and are part of a display which is titled “Challenging perceptions of ageing in the sporting sphere” at the View Tube in London E15 (near the Olympic Park, with the nearest Tube being Pudding Mill Lane).

The exhibition is open until July 5 and free to enter, seven days per week from 9am-5pm.

Linked to this, there will be a “grand challenge” between masters athletes on Sunday June 9 at 3pm.

Alan Carter, aged 76, and Dorothy McLennan, 78, will take on all-comers over 60 metres. The races will be started by Margaret Maughan, Britain’s first Paralympic gold medallist who lit the cauldron at the London 2012 Paralympics, and if you are interested in taking on Carter and McLennan, email [email protected] to sign up.

ALEX ROTAS

WORLD junior 100m champion Adam Gemili met his match on Tuesday as he took on a robot, but his season debut proper has been delayed until mid-June.

The 19-year-old Brit was joined at his training venue at Lee Valley by Brian the Robot, the mascot of insurance comparison website confused.com.

The light-hearted duel resulted in a win for machinery over man with the winning time of 10.1 leaving Gemili trailing by a tenth of a second.

Gemili, whose start to the season has been slightly hampered by injury and exams, said of the publicity stunt: “I’d heard Brian was fast so when he

tweeted me to propose a race I thought this could be fun but also a great way to test myself as I embark on a really important and exciting summer. I hope I don’t have to face many robots in Rio.”

Gemili, who broke through to a UK junior record of 10.05 last year, said in mid-April he was looking to open up at the end of May.

However, having returned a couple of weeks ago from

a training stint in Florida and straight back into exams, he is now seeking to start his season at the England Athletics Under-23 Championships in Bedford on June 14-15.

Adam Gemili: with Brian the Robot

GB’s London Olympians in hidingWITH UKA due to announce the team for the home European Team Champs next week and the trials for the World Championships just five weeks away, Adam Gemili is by no means the only top athlete to make his summer track debut.

Twenty-four out of GB’s 77-strong track and field team for London 2012 – nearly one in three – are yet to compete on the track this season.

That includes three retired and two pregnant athletes.Men: Adam Gemili, Christian Malcolm, Andrew Baddeley, Stuart Stokes

WHILE we await news of entry volumes across the country for the recent county championships,

standards at the top end appeared to have held up well this year.

Concern had been expressed over entry levels and standards because the UKA-set dates – May 25-26 – for the annual events was two weeks later this year, coinciding with a school holiday.

However, data from statistical website Power of 10 shows that of the top 20 performances for each discipline in each age group at the last four county championships, 28.5% were set this year.

Solid standard: results at the 2013 county

champs were better than usual

OF THE top 20 performances for every discipline at county championships between 2010 and 2013, this table shows how many were set in each year. The following have been excluded as they could not be fairly compared from one year to the next: U15 boys’ 300m and 400m (the latter replaced the 300m this year), 10,000m and combined events (both could be incomplete for 2013).

2013 standards up on recent yearsWe should bear in mind the following when it comes to the comparison table on the left:

There is a chance that results have been better reported and thus covered by Power of 10 over the years.

Are full programmes of events now being held more often for the younger are groups?

How much of the improvement for the younger athletes is due to a limited number of disciplines which have shown a sharp rise in standards in recent years?

It has been suggested that the very best athletes are still supporting the county championships to the same level that they always have, but it is the overall participation volumes that have been markedly hit.

The same analysis conducted at the end of this season could favour 2013 even more given that some titles for some disciplines may not have been contested yet.

The data suggests a gradual increase in standards at the very top level with 22.5% of the marks set in 2010, rising to 23.1% and 25% on 2011 and 2012 respectively.

While standards in the senior events dipped slightly this year compared to last, the under-20 women’s and under-17 categories surprisingly showed a signifi cant rise. The under-15 and under-13 girls’ standards also saw a big improvement in 2013.

ATHLETICS WEEKLY | 11

Parkrun better supportedTHE parkrun series held over 5km at nearly 200 park locations around the UK are massively popular with “joggers” and walkers, but several top club runners seem favour them over county championships.

With a laid-back, low-key approach, not all courses measured and organisers not keen to describe them as “races”, parkruns are the complete opposite to championship competition.

Athletes today are frightened by the word “championships” we have heard and while few would expect or want most parkrun’s mainly low-standard participants at a county championships, it appears even the better club runners were put off appearing.

At the county championships 5000m races across the country, just 17 times below 20 minutes were clocked by women. That fi gure is dwarfed by the 62 who were inside the same time at a parkrun on May 25 – despite the early 9am start.

On the men’s side 78 performances

inside 16:45 for 5000m were registered at the county championships on May 25-26. Meanwhile, the volume below the same time at a parkrun was exactly half that.

At a lower level the contrast in appeal between the two events is even more stark. In Cambridgeshire, where only three runners competed in the track 5000m – won in 17:15 by more than two minutes with a third outside 23 minutes – 31 runners were below 20 minutes in the county’s two parkruns.

ANECDOTAL evidence has started to come in for overall competition fi gures in the 2013 county championships (see letter of the week, p30).

Data from statistician Rob Whittingham, whose website Tops in Athletics contains extensive performances, has highlighted participation for four smaller counties (see table below right).

Thorough stats from Ray Morgan regarding the combined Warwickshire and Leicestershire event show a slight drop, as has been happening year on year in his county. Overall appearances were

down to 832 from 878 in both 2011 and 2012. This weighs against an average of 983 over the last nine years, including 2013.

Kent athletics association chairman (KCAA) David Ralph said: “After a few years of seeing decline held, we did unfortunately see numbers down this year and particularly hit were the fi eld events.

“As most counties expected, the Bank Holiday weekend was not as popular as the usual date in mid-May, which is the preferred date for county championships of the KCAA council.”

The recommended date for the 2014 county championships will be raised at the next meeting of the UKA-chaired fi xtures meeting in September.

Competition levels being assessed

I DON’T blame athletes who prefer to compete elsewhere than their county track and fi eld championships. Indeed, in around eight years of serious competition, I think I have competed only once in mine.

Like many athletes, my priorities lie with league events, while there is not much appeal to me of a county medal for which perhaps only three or fewer were in contention.

Then when you throw into the equation the proliferation of road races and parkrun events, it is not diffi cult to see why numbers are down.

The “counties” appear to be thriving for young athletes, but their days could be numbered when it comes to the seniors.

It is too early to say whether the new date, unpopular with probably most county offi cials, hit the entry volumes hard right across the country. However, fi gures have been on the slide for years and I expect them to show only a marginal decrease, suggesting the date did not make a great deal of diff erence.

COMMENT

No longer a ‘BIG’ attractionCLASHES with other fixtures highlights that county championships are no longer the essential competition they were decades ago for senior athletes.

Of the 59 domestic winners of non-disability events at the Bedford International Games (BIG), held on the Bank Holiday Monday (May 27) – only 13 competed at their English county, Welsh regional or Scottish district championships earlier in the weekend. This is despite a high percentage of sprint events, which better facilitate competing at two meetings in a weekend.

Winners included Nathan Douglas, Ashleigh Nelson and Danny Talbot but most were below international standard.

However, several of these athletes would have found themselves competing against sparse and much lower-standard competition in their counties.

On the rise: parkrun 5km events

Participation: varies across the counties

IAAF Diamond League, Eugene, May 31-June 1 For more action, go to athleticsweekly.com

Bekele best on distance nightTHREE world leading performances and a meeting record set the tone of the fi rst day of competition at the historic Hayward Field on the Friday, as a smaller selection of events were held before the main day of competition.

In the absence of Farah, world record-holder Kenenisa Bekele seemed to signal a return to form by winning the 10,000m in 27:12.08. His world-leading time was enough to secure him victory as part of an Ethiopian 1-2-3 with Imane Merga second (27:12.37) and Abera Kuma third (27:13.10 PB).

However, after sliding off the planned 13:20 halfway split, he will probably have to race again over the distance to secure selection for Moscow.

A stand-out performance

Farah’s fi rst real test of 2013 and a test it was, with Kenya’s 2008 Olympic 5000m bronze medallist Edwin Soi kicking when it counted to pip the slightly below-par double Olympic champion into second in the 5000m at Hayward Field.

Saturday’s meet in Eugene, Oregon – part of the IAAF Diamond League series – seemed to shake things up across the board. With a Diamond League record for Mutaz Essa Barshim in the high jump as well as multiple meeting records and world leads, as well as a US junior record, there was certainly enough to entertain fans who tuned in from across the globe to catch the action.

Farah brought down to earthA LOT of attention was on Farah who, fresh from Bupa London 10,000 road race success fi ve days earlier, was originally down for a 10,000m duel with the Bekele brothers – returning to the scene of his UK record over that distance set two years ago.

However, still apparently not at his best following a recent stomach complaint, he switched down from the 25-lap event to contest the distance he won in Eugene last year in 12:56.98.

In fact, his coach Alberto Salazar had reportedly advised him not to race at all or to contest the mile where the pressure on him to win would not have been so great.

Although the change in distance meant Farah had one more day to try to recover it just wasn’t enough. The Brit looked in control as usual but when the bell sounded for the large group at 12:11 his usual devastating fi nish was absent.

Running slightly wide over the last 400m, Soi took the lead at the start of the fi nal bend and

Farah – who was hugging the inside – had no answer and was out of it with 100m remaining.

After a 53-second last lap, the clock was stopped on a world-leading 13:04.75 as Farah suff ered his fi rst outdoor defeat since 2011.

However, the Brit, who clocked 13:05.88, was nevertheless unchallenged by the rest of a very strong fi eld despite perhaps giving up in the last 50m, so this ought not to be a major concern with the World Championships in view.

Ethiopian Yenew Alamirew followed Farah home (13:06.45), while American record-holder Bernard Lagat fi nished fi fth (13:07.76) and Farah’s training partner Galen Rupp sixth in 13:08.69.Mo Farah: last-minute 5000m switch

came from Aleksandr Menkov in the long jump as he soared to 8.39m to record the best mark in the world since 2011. Smashing his personal best by eight centimetres, the Russian fi nished ahead of Brazil’s Mauro Da Silva (8.22m/2.2) and Olympic

champion Greg Rutherford of Great Britain, who recorded the same distance but fell short in his second-best jump.

Another world lead came in the men’s international mile with Kenyan James Kiplagat Magut crossing the line in 3:55.24.

Though not enough for a world lead, Germany’s Christina Obergföll dominated the javelin, her fourth-round throw of 67.70m more than enough for the win, together with a meeting record and to keep her Diamond League winning record intact with four

victories from four meets.Victory didn’t come quite so

OLYMPIC bronze medallist Mutaz Essa Barshim followed up his victory in Shanghai with a personal best of 2.40m for an overall Diamond League record as well as the world lead.

It has been 13 years since Russian Vyacheslav Voronin was the last to clear that height outdoors. Britain’s Robbie Grabarz fi nished sixth with a season’s best 2.26m, while Russia’s Olympic champion Ivan Ukhov fi nished eighth with 2.21m.

It elevates him to equal fourth on the all-time list behind Javier Sotomayor, Patrick Sjoberg and Igor Paklin.

centimetres to continue her unbeaten streak, which has now gone to 34 competitions.

Germany’s world record-holder Betty Heidler took victory in the hammer competition with 75.21m in the fi fth round.

In the absence of the injured Olympic 110m hurdles champion and world record-holder Aries Merritt, Jamaica’s Hansle Parchment put himself fi rmly in the driving seat with Moscow in view.

The Olympic bronze medallist took seven hundredths of a second off his national record to set a world lead of 13.05.

Montsho a class apartTHE women’s 400m had six of the top eight this year, but it was a dominant run from Botswana’s Amantle Montsho that decided the result.

Francena McCorory (50.37) was the only one able to stay near the world champion, who secured her third Diamond League win. Novlene Williams-

Mills (51.14) was third, while Britain’s Christine Ohuruogu, who had an encouraging start to 2013, was three quarters of a second outside her season’s best with 51.31.

It was a tough season debut for Olympic champion Sanya Richards-Ross, who had toe

surgery during the off -season and withdrew from the recent Diamond League meet in New York, as she fi nished last with 53.77.

Another world lead followed in the women’s 400m hurdles, with Zuzana Hejnová improving her own world best to fi nish well clear of the rest of the fi eld in 53.70. The Olympic bronze medallist looked comfortable throughout and well in control. The same could not be said for European indoor 400m champion Perri Shakes-Drayton who fi nished seventh in 55.74 – in her fi rst one-lap hurdles race of the year a long way short of what her form had otherwise suggested.

A world-leading 5.95m from Olympic champion Renaud Lavillenie in the pole vault secured him victory ahead of Germany’s Björn Otto (5.90m) as Britain’s Steve Lewis fi nished sixth with 5.51m.

In the discus, Olympic champion Robert Harting threw a world-leading 69.75m, while in the women’s triple jump Colombia’s Caterine Ibargüen was victorious with 14.93m (2.1) as Britain’s Yamilé Aldama could only manage 14.06m for eighth.

The men’s 3000m steeplechase ended in

controversy as two-time Olympic champion Ezekiel Kemboi, leading, clashed with world junior and world youth champion Conseslus Kipruto.

Kemboi had a decent lead but Kipruto, fi nishing by far the quickest was closing him down on the inside in the home straight before the more experienced athlete clearly moved from lane two to cut him up.

Kipruto had no option to run into him and then step off the track before jogging across the line looking almost apologetic in 8:03.59.

Kemboi was visibly aggrieved but it was him who was later disqualifi ed.

Another meeting record followed in the women’s 1500m, with Kenya’s Hellen Obiri a clear winner with 3:58.58 ahead of Faith Kipyegon’s 4:01.08. Although only enough to secure them eighth and eleventh respectively, Brits Hannah England and Laura Weightman both put on solid performances to clock 4:03.38 and 4:05.36.

A great run from Francine Niyonsaba led to victory in a women’s 800m that saw another strong performance from US teen Mary Cain. Crossing the line fi rst in a strung-out fi eld, Niyonsaba’s 1:56.72 was more than enough for another meeting record and world lead, with Brenda Martinez of the USA following in second (1:58.18).

Cain’s 1:59.51 was a US junior record as the newly 17-year-old went to third on the global all-time under-18 list. Britain’s Marilyn Okoro was sixth in 2:00.70 off a sensible early pace.

The men’s 800m, run without David Rudisha, saw Ethiopian Mohammed Aman victorious with 1:44.42 ahead of Kenyan

Timothy Kitum (1:45.16), as Brit Andrew Osagie fi nished fi fth with 1:45.62.

In the Bowerman Mile, Kenyan Silas Kiplagat narrowly pipped compatriot Asbel Kiprop into second with a world-leading 3:49.48. Olympic 1500m champ Taoufi k Makhloufi fi nished down in 11th with 3:52.94.

An exciting sprint battle came in the 100m as in-form two-time Olympic gold medallist Shelly-

Ann Fraser-Pryce dominated from start to fi nish. In a fast race with a 2.2m/sec following wind, the top three went under 10.80 – Fraser-Pryce with 10.71 ahead of Blessing Okagbare (10.75) and Veronica Campbell-Brown (10.78).

The wind picked up again further for the men’s 100m, in which Justin Gatlin led a USA 1-2-3, storming over the line in 9.88 (+2.6) ahead of Michael

Rodgers (9.94) and Ryan Bailey (10.00).

LaShawn Merritt stole Kirani James’ thunder in the 400m, the American surprisingly winning in 44.32 to pip the Grenadian London 2012 champion into second (44.39).

In the 200m Nickel Ashmeade clocked 20.14 to secure the win over USA’s Walter Dix (20.16), who made a good comeback but couldn’t quite catch up.

RARELY has Emelia Gorecka looked so happy at just missing a personal best – or at running so well.

While athletics fans and her rivals are used to seeing her perform at the highest level the 19-year-old admitted that she came to Manchester with considerable doubts over what she might deliver in her first race since the World Cross Country Championships ten weeks earlier.

But any fears Gorecka may have harboured were emphatically blown away as she ran strongly throughout before unleashing a powerful last lap to beat Poland’s Dominika Nowakowska in a time of 15:35.82 to finish a few strides off her lifetime best of 15:34.21.

“I don’t care at all!” said Gorecka when told she has just missed her PB.

“Obviously I really went for it in the last 200 metres when I realised how close I was but to be honest I have no idea where that performance came from! I didn’t know what to expect this evening as it was my first race for two months. I had flu going into the World Cross and it was so bad afterwards I had to take three to four weeks off completely. It is only in the last two weeks that I have begun to feel strong and like my old self again which is probably testament to all the strength work I have done with Mick (Woods, her coach) over the winter.

“But tonight I would have been happy with running sub-16 minutes and I cannot believe how strong I felt or how fit I am. It has been a very pleasant surprise and with my first race out of the way I can now push on from here.”

The time puts Gorecka second

Emelia Gorecka: pleasing 5000m win in first race since World Cross

in the 2013 UK rankings behind Katrina Wootton and was well inside the qualifying standard for the European Under-20 Championships, for which she is a strong medal contender.

But Gorecka’s win wasn’t the only notable achievement in the women’s 5000m that saw an impressive six qualifying marks for the major championships this summer.

In fi fth place, 21-year-old Kate Avery ran a season’s best of 15:49.41 which was inside the European Under-23 qualifying mark of 16:05 while 18-year-old Rebecca Weston’s PB of 15:59.97 was a European U20 standard as was Alex Clay’s 16:30.88.

Just behind her, marathon runner Alyson Dixon showed good speed with a PB of 16:00.10, one of an astonishing 16 lifetime bests from the fi eld of 22 runners plus six season’s bests.

There was also the sub-plot of the 3000m, with offi cial electronic timing, set up for athletes to attempt the qualifying standard of 9:35 for the World Youth Championships in Ukraine.

Bobby Clay did that in magnifi cent fashion with the 16-year-old sticking to the pacemaker like a limpet and then pushing on to clock 9:24.99.

“I really enjoyed running in a

packed race like that and it was very exciting to be alongside the likes of Emelia Gorecka,” said Clay. “I knew I had to push the pace hard and I am delighted to run a PB by 10 seconds and really enjoyed the race.”

Just behind her, fellow 16-year-old Bronwen Owen also achieved the Ukraine mark with a PB of 9:30.50 as the pair went to the top of the UK rankings.

The women’s 800m A race was also notable for some superlative performances from top young British runners. Team Bath’s Loren Bleaken hit the bell in 59 seconds and then running alone showed great strength to cross the line in 2:05.18, well inside the European Under-20 standard of 2:06.00.

“I did what I came here to do and I am so happy with that,” beamed Bleaken. “I was so focused on what I was doing that I had no idea what was happening behind me.”

That was a real scrap to the line in which the biggest winner was 16-year-old Cornish runner Molly Long as she smashed her PB by over two seconds with 2:06.30, which confi rms her place at the top of the 2013 UK under-17 rankings – plus 12th on the all-time lists – and more importantly was well inside the World Youth qualifying standard of 2:08.00.

It is also worth noting there were PBs for 20-year-old Rebecca Linney with 2:06.25 in third and 17-year-old Chelsea Jarvis for fi fth in 2:06.33 and

16-year-old Emily Jenkinson, who won the C race in a PB of 2:07.91, also gained World Youth qualifi ers.

In the men’s races it was the under-20 1500m runners who caught the eye as the battle to make the team for the Europeans looks like being one of the most hotly contested in the forthcoming trials.

Promoted to the A race after winning in Solihull, 18-year-old James McMurray improved his best again to 3:43.08 from 3:45.65, the quickest time outdoors this year as he fi nished just ahead of rival Matt McLaughlin, who actually tops the UK rankings this year with his indoor best of 3:42.87.

Bracknell’s 18-year-old Shaun Wylie also enhanced his European Under-20 credentials with 3:44.19 to win the B race, carving over four seconds from his previous best set a month ago in Watford, while Lewis Lloyd (3:46.72) also ran the qualifi er in the C race meaning that eight Brits now boast that standard.

As for the A race, the top fi ve all ran PBs led by Philip Hurst, showing great strength on the last lap to fi nish in 3:41.10.

“I shouldn’t complain as it is a PB but I am gutted as I wanted 3:39,” said Hurst. “The pace

making (by Michael Rimmer) was spot-on but I just need to find a faster last lap in the way that Ross Murray did last year. That’s the big difference between running 3:40ish or 3:35/36.”

Rory Graham-Watson was delighted to win the 800m with a PB of 1:47.79 as he came through late to beat Oliver Aitchinson, who just missed the European U23 qualifying mark of 1:48.00 by 0.14 as he also clocked a PB.

But in fourth place the Shaftesbury Barnet Harrier Richard Charles dipped under the European Under-20 qualifying standard of 1:49.00 with 1:48.30.

The B race saw a tremendous tussle between Chris Warburton

and Jake Wightman. Warburton attempted to ease through on the inside after Wightman had taken the race by the scruff of the neck

in the last 200m but the 18-year-old’s boldness was rewarded with top spot although both runners were awarded the same time of 1:49.27, a huge PB for Wightman and his first time under 1:50.

Among the foreign contingent in Manchester the highlights included a Swedish under-20 record of 9:56.50 by 19-year-old Maria Larsson to win the women’s 3000m steeplechase, in which all eight finishers ran PBs with 18-year-old Katie Ingle clocking 10:31.47 to just miss the European Under-20 qualifying time of 10:30.

Also, Irish international Laura Crowe smashed her PB by four seconds to win the A race with

4:12.25 while in the C race 15-year-old Harriet Knowles-Jones went second on the UK under-17 rankings with a PB of 4:29.43.

EVEN NOW, 24 years on, Steve Backley can still feel the tingle down his spine. It was not quite on the grand scale of London 2012, but Gateshead 1989 was a pivotal, ground-breaking occasion for British athletics. Never

before had a British team come close to lifting the Bruno Zauli Cup, the prize for the biennial European Cup. Since the inception of the competition in 1965 – with separate sections for the sexes until the creation of the European Team Championships in 2009 – the men’s trophy had remained resolutely in Eastern Bloc hands, changing possession only between the Soviet Union and East Germany.

It was at the start of what proved to be a super Saturday on the banks of the Tyne that the European track and fi eld landscape started to shift. The fi rst jolt came in the opening track event, the 400m hurdles.

Harald Schmidt lined up as the clear favourite. Runner up to Ed Moses at the 1983 World Championships and 1984 Olympic Games and the last man to beat Moses before the American embarked on his epic 122-race winning streak, the muscular West German had dominated one-lap hurdling in Europe for a decade, amassing more European Cup points than any other man, 61.5.

Having switched from the flat 400m, Britain’s Kriss Akabusi was emerging as a continental rival (he had fi nished one place ahead, in sixth, in the 1988 Olympic fi nal) but arrived at Gateshead nursing a hamstring injury and down in third in the European rankings. What few people reckoned on was the anaesthetising, adrenalising eff ect of the roaring 11,500 home crowd. It kicked in as Akabusi entered the home straight within striking distance of Schmidt.

The 30-year-old army warrant offi cer drew level at the penultimate flight and pulled clear to win by 31 hundredths of a second in 48.95. It whipped the Gateshead crowd into a state of delirium – and sent a shot of inspiration through the watching Backley.

“I remember it vividly,” he recalls. “The javelin started just before the 400m hurdles. It was my fi rst experience or the European Cup. The stadium was jam-packed and it was the noisiest athletics experience I’d had up to that point in my career. It was the start of a big year for me and there was a lot of expectation about the javelin, because Jan Zelezny was in the fi eld.

“I remember seeing Kriss romp round the bend in his British vest and the crowd just erupted as he came off the turn and took the win. It was a big moment.

“That heaped an expectation of a wider responsibility of being part of a team. That just smacked me in the face. I went, ‘Oh! I get it. Okay. You’ve won. Now it’s up to me.’

“And I grabbed that with both hands. I loved that feeling. You genuinely rarely get that as an athlete. You’re obviously very self-focused. But I really loved that feeling of, ‘Kiss the badge and there’s a consequence beyond my own personal expectation.’ It was a really positive thing, because I went on to win it and that was a big stepping stone for me.”

It was that. Backley was 20 at the time. He had won the European junior title in 1987 (on home soil in Birmingham) and world junior silver in 1988. Victory at Gateshead – eclipsing Zelezny, the

world record-holder from what was then Czechoslovakia, with a throw of 82.92m – launched the Kentish man on a trailblazing debut senior season in which he took the world No.1 ranking in his event, winning at the World Cup and World Student Games.

That his breakthrough came on Tyneside was entirely fi tting. Although Backley was born and raised in Sidcup, his parents both hailed from the Gateshead borough.

His father was born a mile from the International Stadium at Pelaw and brought up in Low Fell, the Gateshead suburb that was Brendan Foster’s home for the majority of his international career. Before moving south to join the Metropolitan Police Force, John Backley won the Northumberland and Durham 880 yards title. He raced in the red and white vest of Elswick Harriers, the Tyneside club that produced Mike McLeod, the 1984 Olympic 10,000m silver medallist, and Alex Burns, who fi nished fi fth in the 10,000m at the Berlin Olympics in 1936 (and who once told me, “When I was introduced to Adolf Hitler at a reception I immediately thought, ‘Inferiority complex.’ In my day, men with moustaches were looked upon with suspicion.”)

“It was special for me,” Backley says. “All my family were there in the stadium: my parents, my grandparents, my aunts and uncles, my cousins. I grew up in the south but my family were very much based in the Tyneside area, so it felt homely for me as an adopted Geordie, or a true Geordie in many ways.

“It was quite an intimate stadium as well. In those days, when it was good, Gateshead was kind of as good as it got - there and Crystal Palace. I know things have moved on now, but it was special.

“My dad had great experiences running there. And I remember him taking me there as a kid. We used to go back on holidays to visit family and we’d go to the stadium to train, so there’s always a familiarity when you’ve done that. I think it made it special for my family too.”

By the time Backley had posted win number two on the board for the Great Britain men’s team, there was a proud family spirit spreading through a squad that had Les Jones as team manager, Frank Dick as head coach and Linford Christie as captain.

“I vividly remember coming out of the press room after

BELOW LEFT: John Regis captured the 200m ahead of Stefano Tilli of Italy

BELOW RIGHT: Petra Felke won the javelin by more than four metres, helping the East German squad to overall victory in the women’s competition


winning my event and Linford was on the start line for the 100m,” Backley recalls. “He came up to me later and said he’d heard in the call room that there had been two wins for Great Britain and he was thinking, ‘Who on Earth could they be? He said he couldn’t think what events we could win. He thought, ‘Well, Kriss Akabusi maybe ...’

“It was nice of him, actually. He pulled me to one side and said, ‘Well done.’ It never got reported much but he was good like that, courteous almost. He said, ‘It really made me think. We’ve won a fi eld event and we don’t normally do that. Now I’ve got to step up. There’s no way that I can lose my event now because I’m one of those expected to win.’

“It’s interesting, because I’ve said what Kriss winning did to me and then me winning that to Linford. It was like a domino eff ect through the team.”

Captain Christie duly knocked spots off the opposition, winning the 100m from Daniel Sangouma of France in 10.33. Then Dalton Grant won the high jump with 2.32m, a British record, and Christie returned to the track to anchor the 4x100m team to victory, partnered by Tony Jarrett, John Regis and Marcus Adam.

That made it fi ve victories on day one alone, one short of the British record in the two-day competition, achieved in Nice in 1975 courtesy of David Jenkins (400m), Steve Ovett (800m), Brendan Foster (5000m), Alan Pascoe (400m hurdles), Geoff Capes (shot) and the 4x400m quartet of Glen Cohen, Jim Aukett, Bill Hartley and Jenkins.

AS THE first major athletics championships in the UK since the London Olympics, taking in the action of the European Athletics Team Championships is a must.

Being held on June 22-23, the event will see Great Britain look to make the most of the home advantage at the venue where the country won the trophy for the first time 24 years ago, when the competition was known as the European Cup and featured separate men’s and women’s competitions.

More than 600 athletes from 12 countries will be competing for points in 20 men’s and 20 women’s events, with millions of viewers watching it live on TV. But if you’d rather follow the action in person then you’re in luck,

as we have two pairs of tickets for each day of the event up for grabs.Double Olympic champion Mo Farah is just one British athlete to have confirmed

his interest in competing, with the 30-year-old most likely to take on the 5000m or perhaps the 3000m, with the team going up against opponents from Belarus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Norway, Poland, Russia, Spain, Ukraine and Turkey.

Win European Team Champs ticketsAW has two pairs of tickets for each day of the European Team Championships in Gateshead this month up for grabs

By the end of day two at Gateshead in 1989, the tally was up to nine thanks to victories by Colin Jackson (110m hurdles), Tom McKean (800m), John Regis (200m) and the 4x400m team of Peter Crampton, Akabusi, Todd Bennett and Brian Whittle. All of which added up to a glorious, ground-breaking success for the GB men’s team, who triumphed with 115 points, ahead of East Germany (103) and the Soviet Union (101).

“I don’t remember the second day well at all,” Backley says, “apart from the traditional steeplechase experience [Christie and Les Jones both ended up in the depths of the water jump]. We went around and lapped it up. Les Jones was the team manager and what a wonderful, wonderful man. And Frank Dick was a very inspirational character, a good guy to have around.

“I do a lot of work in the ‘performance’ world now and one of the things you shout about is surrounding yourself with talented people. And I think that success at Gateshead in 1989 was bred out of decent characters and successful people, breeding an air of excellence through the team.

“Linford was a very appropriate team captain, as a guy likely to win his event. That bolstered the air of confi dence. He was a big character to have at the spearhead.

“It was a huge collective achievement. It stands out as one of the highlights of my career, without a shadow of a doubt. It was a big moment.”

At the time, Dick described the achievement as “the greatest achievement in British athletics history.” He added: “It’s mind boggling to consider what it means. We have beaten the best men’s athletics nations in the world except the United States. The East Germans and the Soviet Union are superpowers in the sport.”

The home heroes, bolstered by Seb Coe in the 1500m and Jonathan Edwards in the triple jump (he missed Gateshead because his event fell on the Sabbath, in his days of strict religious observance), went on to compete in the World Cup for the fi rst time. In the Montjuic Stadium that was to be used for the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, they fi nished third behind the US and Europe.

The high point came in the javelin. John Backley’s boy won with 85.90m, a British record.

AT THE time of this meeting, the world record stood at 71.86m to the now forgotten Yuriy Dumchev, who threw 71.86m in a small Russian meeting in 1983 and then threw 13 metres less in failing to qualify for that year’s World Championships fi nal.

Ben Plucknett had thrown 72.34m in 1981, but the IAAF refused to ratify it as a world record as he was found shortly afterwards to have failed a drugs test, though curiously the AAU were happy to have it as an American record.

Jurgen Schult had fi nished fi fth in that inaugural IAAF World Championships in Helsinki and three years later was in good form when he participated in a European Championships qualifying meeting.

His fi rst throw was a very good 67.20m, but that wouldn’t have been enough to win as Armin Lemme threw 67.76m.

His next two throws were fouls, but his fourth into a strong headwind sent the discus out to 74.08m, adding well over two metres to the record. The East German had a further no-throw and then passed his fi nal eff ort.

His competitive record was longer and more notable than Dumchev’s, but he fi nished only seventh later in the year in the European Championships. He won the 1987 World Championships, was sixth in 1991, third in 1993, fi fth in 1995, third in 1997 and second in his seventh fi nal in 1999.

His Olympic record was less impressive with a best of sixth, but he put his European failure right and went on to win three successive medals, including gold in 1990.

The record has stood for 27

years and has only been challenged by Olympic champions Virgilijus Alekna and Gerd Kanter, who both had 73m throws. Yet for Schult it was a one-off and his record is his only mark in the all-time top 50, his next best being 70.46m.

The world record competition in Neubrandenburg was as follows:1 Jurgen Schult (GDR) 74.082 Armine Lemme (GDR) 67.763 Andreas Becker (GDR) 64.164 Lutz Friedrich (GDR) 61.005 Dietmar Krause (GDR) 56.746 Gero Lautsch (GDR) 56.08

World record historySome of the record throws down the years have been set in a wider circle than the currently allowed 2.50m-diameter one, but we will ignore these.

Greek Panayiotis Paraskevopoulos set a record early

in 1896 of 27.81m in Athens and then again in the qualifying round of the Olympics that year. Despite setting another two records in the fi nal, he was surpassed for the gold by American Robert Garrett’s 29.15m.

The fi rst 30m mark came later in the year when Britain and Ireland’s John Flanagan recorded 32.31m in New York. Hungarian

Nandor Fothy surpassed 40m thanks to a 40.61m throw in Budapest in 1902.

The fi rst IAAF record was by James Duncan in New York as he threw 47.26m in 1912, but it was a further 18 years before 50m was breached with Eric Krenz’s 51.03m in Stanford.

Italian Adolfo Consolini achieved the fi rst 55m with a 55.33m in 1948 and it took 13 more years for 60m to be beaten when Jay Silvester landed a 60.56m in Frankfurt.

The last of four-time Olympic champion Al Oerter’s quartet of records was broken by Czechoslovakian Ludvik Danek, who then went on to achieve the fi rst 65m throw in 1965 in Sokolov with 65.22m.

His record was broken by Silvester, who achieved marks of 66.54m and 68.40m in 1968.

A decade after the fi rst 60m throw, Silvester bettered 70m in two meetings, though neither were ratifi ed.

Offi cially, the fi rst 70m throw was achieved by American Mac Wilkins, who set three records in one meeting in 1976, the second of which was a barrier-breaking 70.24m, which was followed by 70.86m.

THE record was set in a GDR v Italy match which produced an incredible standard from the East German contingent.

Gabriele Reinsch opened up with a 76.80m throw to add more than two metres to Zdenka Silhava’s four-year-old world record.

Diana Gansky was second with 72.94m, while non-scorers Ilke Wyludda set a world junior record of 72.24m in third and Martina Hellmann was fourth with 71.38.

A few months later Hellman

threw an incredible 78.14m in beating Wyludda to gain the third spot in the GDR Olympic team, but it was an unoffi cial meeting so couldn’t be ratifi ed.

Apart from that competition, though, in the 25 years since the record no thrower has bettered 75 metres and indeed there has only been one throw over 70 metres in the last 20 years!

The world record contest in Neubrandenburg was as follows:1 Gabriele Reinsch (GDR) 76.802 Diana Gansky (GDR) 72.943 Ilke Wyludda (GDR) 72.244 Martina Hellmann (GDR) 71.385 Agnese Maffei (ITA) 51.446 Asunta Chiumariello (ITA) 25.72

World record historyThe fi rst recorded mark was 20.72m by American Margorie Hillar in New York in 1912 with a 1.25kg implement, but the fi rst ratifi ed record with the now-standard 1kg discus was Yvonne Tembouret, who threw 27.39m in Paris in 1923.

The record stayed in French hands as Lucienne Velu set the fi rst ratifi ed 30m mark with

30.225m in 1924, also in Paris.Halina Konopacka just missed

the fi rst 40m throw when she won the 1928 Olympics with 39.62m, but fellow Pole Jadwiga Wajs did it with 40.34m in Pabianice in 1932.

The fi rst IAAF record was set by German Gisela Mauermayer, who threw 48.31m to win the 1936 German title, but it was 12 more years before 50m was offi cially broken when Russian Nina Dumbadze went out to 53.25m in Moscow.

Tamara Press set six world records in the Sixties but fell agonisingly short of 60m with her 59.70m in Moscow in 1965.

The honour of breaking that barrier fell to German Liesel Westermann, who threw 61.26m in Sao Paulo.

The most prolifi c discus thrower was Faina Melnik. She set her fi rst world record of 64.22m in winning the 1971 European title and her third of 65.42m in Moscow the following year was the fi rst 65m throw.

Her 11th world record was a barrier-breaking 70.20m in Zurich in 1975 and her 12th and last was 70.50m in 1976.

The record continued to advance in the Eighties with Zdenka Silhava setting the last record before the current one of 74.56m.

AS AN editorial column in AW last month reminded us, the Foster Report of 2004 described leagues as “the

heartland of club track and fi eld” and “the focal point of athletics”. Indeed, the leagues are, for many, the ultimate driving force for many clubs and crucial when it comes to recruiting offi cials, coaches and volunteers.

So why aren’t they as healthy as they might be? I suggest there are three major areas that are causing the present problems: dates, travel and programme length.

1 DatesThe current calendar is still driven by the 1960s and its championship needs, arising from the days when athletics was an achievement-driven sport, aimed around the requirements of champion athletes, rather than today’s family-centred, healthy-lifestyle, recreational, sport-for-all ethos.

Every calendar month has either four or fi ve weekends, and there are three established age-group national leagues in existence. Therefore, if the league dates are put into the calendar fi rst, ahead of the championships, every month has either one or two spare weekends into which the championship events can be fi tted (which in any case only account for a minority of active participants in the sport).

In addition, ‘doubling-up’ is possible (that is, young athlete league/senior championship can be timetabled together or a senior league/young athlete championship weekend). This leaves ‘spare weekends’ for other events.

2 TravelMerging male and female leagues, as has happened with several leagues in recent years, dramatically reduced club travel distances, in most cases halving total club transport costs.

Further, the round-robin structure, with its in-built mathematical requirement for league divisions to contain numbers that are squares – 9, 16, 25, etc - with the consequent number of competing clubs at each fi xture being the square root of these – 3, 4, or 5 respectively - mean that either double-headers have to be held, in which half the races and events are of no interest to half the spectators, or they are fi nancially extravagant with, say, four clubs on a 6-lane track.

In addition, the need to assemble 16 (say) clubs into one division results in too great a diff erence in club strength, producing weak and non-competitive matches spread over a large travel distance. Although this format works well in the London and South East

region, with its high density of clubs and short travel distances, in most of the rest of the UK the consequences are detrimental.

The move to the more flexible vertical structure requiring only the top few clubs to travel across the region, while allowing the remainder of clubs to compete in a smaller geographical area works well, although the judgement about how large the region should be is one requiring much care and deliberation.

3 Length of programmeOne unforeseen consequence of merging male and female leagues has been an increased demand for more events. Boys want events that previously only girls had; girls want events that previously only boys had.

In addition we have a situation whereby the governing body, concentrating on London 2012, has become more detached from grassroots sport, and consequently lacks experience, understanding and expertise in this

area in my view. As a result league programmes are driven by the unpaid, un-recognised volunteers who turn up to the league AGMs. Those attending these meetings inevitably come from the major top-division clubs, usually based in the major city conurbations, and the smaller clubs from the near-by locality.

Over the years the leagues have evolved to become not only the primary, but, in many cases, the only organised, structured outlet for competitive athletics. This has created pressure for the inclusion of just about every event in the book of rules, at every age group, on every occasion. It has produced scenarios in which, given that we all (myself included) regard each and every individual member of a club to be equal, regardless of discipline, and therefore entitled to equal treatment and provision, results in some events being hugely over-provided for within the league programme (especially in the lower divisions). Apart from the length of day, another consequence of this

is the ‘anything for a point’ culture that has crept in – the 1m 10cm pole vault, the 5m triple jump, etc.

A drastic overhaul is required and the length of meetings needs to be reduced to, say, four hours maximum (or perhaps fi ve hours for premier divisions). This would require a shorter programme.

Events at present cannot be deleted because there is no other outlet for these competitors and club members. If the events to be removed from the programme are those that fail to attract large numbers of competitors and require large amounts of time, then self-evidently they do not make for a very viable alternative competitive structure.

Further, the need to attract reasonable competition numbers requires a totally new set of competition providers operating over new geographic boundaries. I suggest using the boundaries of the ten regional councils plus the three nations of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales (some sub-divisions might be necessary in the more populated regions).

As mentioned earlier, there are vacant weekends available if the competition calendar is re-visited. I propose each region should be required to organise a ‘specialist events’ meeting – it might include triple jump, pole vault,

steeplechase, long hurdles, walks, hammer etc, possibly also some disability events – the detailed format needs to be decided later.

There could be a three-tier competition structure – local, regional, and national, with progressively higher standards of entry required. Suitable awards would be made (these could be equipment grants for the fi eld events) and, for the national event, fi nancial assistance for travel as required.

There used to be, when I started, many specialist clubs for individual events – kangaroo club for jumpers, etc – these could be re-started and members could be made to feel that they are elite, distinguished athletes instead of an afterthought, grudgingly provided for, and urged to fi nish their event so everyone can get on to the bus home as soon as possible which happens at present.

The leagues cannot do it all. The governing body needs to jump in and help.

Youth league travelTHERE have been several letters on the new UK Youth Development League (UKYDL) in AW and the editor has encouraged anybody to send in positive comments.

I would say that the UKYDL U20/U17 Midland region division two has Cornwall/Plymouth and Yeovil in the same league as Stoke, Cannock/Staff s/Worcester and Notts AC. This means average distance each club will travel exceeds 800 miles, with Cornwall having a mammoth distance, over 1600 miles, to complete four fi xtures.

Any organisation which pairs clubs in a junior regional league 300 miles apart lacks credibility. There is a similar lunacy in the North where the Scottish teams Kingdom AC and Forth Valley are in the same regional division as South Humberside.

So here is the positive note you are looking for. The professionals at UKA have improved the league with the whole-hearted support of all the clubs, the new arrangements having been well thought out and planned in plenty of time before the proposals were approved by the member clubs last year (or were they?).

Thank heavens for the professionals at UKA saving us bumbling amateurs from ourselves.

This isn’t all – there are several dozen other gripes but like all of the other disgruntled club offi cials, who haven’t bothered to write at all, I won’t waste any more time writing. No one is listening.Mick Robinson, Notts AC

Competition ladderWHEN will the governing bodies in British athletics wake up and institute a system of qualifying

from one level of the sport to another – badly needed to inject life into our sport.

For once, please copy the Americans. Over there you don’t get into the fi nals of the NCAA Championships without qualifying in the regional meets.

With certain exceptions you don’t get into Olympic or world trials without qualifying in various regional meets. Therefore, in Britain we strongly need a system whereby an athlete can only make an Inter-Counties Championships team if they compete in their county champs.

Similarly you could only get into the National champs/trials if you qualify from meetings like the Inter-Counties among others. Athletes (and no doubt their coaches/managers) must realise they owe the sport, and should put something back, and supporting meetings like their individual county champs would help tremendously.

One of my most prominent and fondest memory of British athletics (and that is in over 60 years of interest) is of Seb Coe winning the 1985 Middlesex county 800m in Enfi eld in a remarkable 1:44.00, winning by a full seven seconds.

Neglect of basicsI WAS shocked by the national swimming association’s recent revelation that 50% of primary school children are unable to swim 25 metres.

I wonder how many kids would be unable to run/jog 175 metres, the equivalent distance around an athletics track?

Probably, sadly, not many more.

Busy Hampshire event bucks county trendTHE seemingly universal gloom about the decline of county championships is not apparent in Hampshire, where we have just enjoyed one of our most successful competitions in recent years.

Our early concerns about the change of date proved unfounded as 694 athletes entered 1436 events (624 and 1276 last year). Entries were up by a third or more in four out of ten age groups; the only signifi cant decrease (17%) was among the senior men. Our colleagues from the Channel Islands made the most of the Bank Holiday weekend by extending their stay and brought over 100 athletes, their largest teams for years (or ever?).

It’s hard to persuade many over-17s to commit to some of the fi eld events or more than two laps of the track, but we must persevere with these events to cater for everyone. Despite blustery conditions, 11 championship bests were set across a range of age groups, some beating records set in the 1980s and 90s. And rather than thinking ‘I’m not going to win a medal, I can’t be bothered’, our young athletes (and their parents) were proud to achieve new PBs in a championship atmosphere with expert commentary urged on by an appreciative crowd of spectators.

Three-quarters of athletes used our new online entry system. The drop-out rate

due to illness, injury or other commitments was 12%, a lower fi gure than for many road races. We don’t take advantage of this by charging unrealistically low entry fees: £9 for the fi rst event entered (but only £3 for all others) is possibly the highest in the country, showing that people are prepared to pay for a high-quality event. The cash surplus generated will help fund development for the coming year.

Unforeseen circumstances put our intended May 6 closing date back to May 12; a later closing date might have been detrimental to the championships. Our main diffi culty was not whether track heats were required – these can generally be taken for granted – but scheduling fi eld events for more than 20 entries.

Chief offi cials needed time to confi rm their duty sheets before the timetable was emailed to athletes and published on our website the weekend before the championships. The 32-page programme went to press with three days to go; photofi nish data and names for T-shirt printers were emailed to suppliers, and registration lists and fi eld cards were printed in the last couple of days.

Then the championships started and the real work began!Richard Dean, Christine Weeks and Mike Williams, Joint Hampshire Track & Field Championship secretaries

THIRTEEN-year-old Khai Mhlanga ended last season as the top under-13 athlete in the UK for 800m and 1500m,

giving indication of her talent and potential as an athlete. However, what is particularly pleasing is that, despite her successes, the main reason Khai does athletics is because she loves training and racing.

The Chelmsford athlete ran 2:15.74 and 4:40.63 for the respective distances last year, which were not only the leading times by an under-13 in the annual UK rankings, but also placed her fourth and fi fth respectively on the age-group all-time lists.

Looking back on her achievements, which included winning the Essex county 1200m title, Khai says: “I was really happy with my rankings in the 800m and 1500m last year.

“I had been injured earlier in the year after a cross-country race, so I didn’t expect such good times. Training went well once I was better, and the few races I did proved that I hadn’t lost speed. So 2012 was a good year for me.”

But Khai is no one-trick pony, as she is also a promising cross country runner. Already this year, despite her winter having been hampered a little by illness, she has won Essex county and schools cross-country titles.

She also showed she is one of the top athletes nationally in her age group, placing second in the Inter-Counties, fourth in the Southern and thirteenth in the National. In her fi rst year in the age group, she fi nished 20th in the English Schools. However, like most good athletes, Khai is not easily satisfi ed.

She explains: “I was fairly happy with the cross-country season, but I had hoped to run better. Illness interrupted my training and it took me a while to recover. Overall I was happy when it was over – mainly because of the weather!”

Already this year Khai has improved her PBs to 2:15.31 and 4:38.58. She also became Essex under-15 champion for the longer distance.

She adds: “This year I would like

to compete in the English Schools on the track and I have hopes for new PBs. Long-term I just want to carry on running. I enjoy both track and cross-country because I just love to run.”

Khai trains twice or three times a week and enjoys a variety of diff erent training. Part of a small group, which also includes her mum, who helps keep an eye on her, Khai trains alongside Jodie Judd, the sister of world junior 800m silver medallist and 2:00.37 athlete Jessica.

“I don’t have a favourite training session, but my favourite thing to do on a Saturday after training is to get fi sh and chips, and a hot fresh cinnamon pretzel,” says Khai.

She started out in the sport at quite a young age when her mum started a running club for local friends. Through that, the family got involved with the nearest club, Orion Harriers.

It was noticed quite quickly that Khai had a talent, so she began to race against the older athletes, which she really enjoyed.

Clearly a well-balanced young teenager, Khai has plenty of other interests outside of athletics.

“I also like drawing, knitting, crocheting, singing, drama, cycling and walking in the forest or countryside,” she says. “I love animals, especially reptiles! I also enjoy going on activity camping holidays with friends, and going to church with my family.”

But the fi nal word goes to her mum, who plays a big part in the development of her daughter. “As her mum, I would say that Khai loves running and is at home on the track,” she says. “She has had many opportunities to enjoy and express her natural talent so far.

“With no pressure we just take one season at a time. It has been fun so far, and it has meant that I have been able to get fi tter than I ever was as a child! Khai makes me smile when she off ers to pace me round the track at open-graded meetings to help me get a PB!” she says with a laugh.

TRAINING six days a week, Stef Reid is no stranger to the track and weights room at her training base in Loughborough.

The 28-year-old’s training comprises three running sessions a week, which involves speed endurance work during the winter and longer-recovery work once the season gets under way. Her fi nal session of the week targets her start and speed over a distance between 40m-80m.

Reid explains how her training has changed: “I used to train twice a day, every day, but I’m 28 now, so I need to be smart and careful about the way I am training. It’s a new approach, but it’s really streamlined things as we gear up for the next cycle. My philosophy this year is to do as little as possible to achieve the result that I want!”

The integration of warm-weather training has also paid dividends for Reid and she believes that spells in warmer climes help prepare her for a stronger start to the season.

“I go to South Africa in January

for warm-weather training, because it’s a fact that you run faster in hot weather,” she said.

“Unless you have a domed 400m track, the radius that you’re dealing with on an indoor track is completely diff erent on an indoor 200m track. You can’t get up to the same speed because you’re

constantly navigating corners. I also go away just before the start of the season, I’ve just been to Spain, which is just another shot at getting some hot weather and some speed into my legs ready for the start of the season.”

PARALYMPIC GAMES LONG JUMP SILVER MEDALLIST IN 2012, STEF REID SPEAKS TO ALEX FERGUSON ABOUT WHAT IT TAKES TO GET TO THE TOP

Stand up to painEVERY athlete endures injury – it’s nature saying you’re doing too much. Some injuries are a little more sinister and a rapid diagnosis is essential so that any down-time is minimal.

A visit to a physio is money well spent if that niggle is negated quickly. If treatment isn’t improving the condition, a referral may be necessary and this may involve an MRI

scan. These can be costly, but if the trauma is identifi ed, corrective treatment can begin.

Lower back injuries are

a common nuisance, yet almost all MRI scans are done lying down and we don’t compete in that position!

Now an Upright MRI Scan (page 38-39) can be done in the natural position – it’s still expensive, but if it identifi es the problem, then it’s surely worth it?David Lowes, Coaching editor

two jumping sessions in the week are broken down into two diff erent stages. The T44 athlete says: “You need to be able to run fast and take off . Not every sprinter is a long jumper and that’s because it’s diffi cult to translate flat speed into horizontal distance.”

Reid’s training ensures that she makes that transition when it comes to competition. She adds: “You have to practise and train the take-off position. Instead of doing a full jump, I will train from six strides back and run, jump, take-off and practise a perfect take-off position with a great drive knee.”

The eloquently spoken Reid also packs in landing drills to her fi rst jumping session of the week, something which she identifi es as being integral to her improvement. She says: “I will stand on a box and jump into the sand, practising keeping the legs up and holding that for as long as possible to maximise distance.

“One of the most diffi cult things I fi nd is that I take off well, but I’m rotating forward in the air and sometimes I’m almost landing on my hands because it’s diffi cult to learn how to control your body.”

Reid’s opening session helps when making the transition to the full run-ups the following day. She explains: “The reason why I do the drills on a Wednesday is that I do the longer run-ups on Thursday, which will help with my muscle memory. I’ll remember what I’ve done on the previous day and take that into the full approach.”

A lot of Reid’s strength training comes from heavy Olympic lifting sessions in the gym. She says: “Cleaning is massively important because it’s an exercise that helps to co-ordinate power through your whole body as opposed to just doing a jump squat.” Cleaning just 5kg under her bodyweight (60kg) is enough to make any gym goer’s eyes water, but lifting hasn’t come without its challenges. The Keith Antoine-coached athlete further explains: “Obviously on one side I have an immobile ankle that doesn’t bend all the way because of the prosthetic, I have two very diff erent forces going through my hip, but we’ve found a way to sort that.”

After losing her right foot in a boating accident at the age of 16, Reid has had to overcome a number of challenges associated with having a prosthetic limb. She points out: “The biggest challenge, which is a constant struggle, is you have two limbs that don’t match. You’re dealing with diff erent forces that are going through your body. The problems that can be caused are with your back and the way that you weight-bear and train. I have to be really vigilant about how my body develops and what it does because it’s always compensating.”

The Paralympic silver medallist also emphasises how important it

is to make sure that she looks after her body, from her training regime to body maintenance and upkeep. Reid adds: “If you look at my back, it’s muscularly developed diff erently from one side to the other and that’s because I use diff erent compensatory mechanisms. It has its challenges in the gym when I lift and huge implications when I long jump because the hip isn’t quite strong enough because obviously of where the injury took place. If I want to keep training the way I do, I have to stick religiously to my physio, drills and my prehab, otherwise it compromises everything.”

With a long list of achievements to her name, Reid is still looking to make inroads into her PBs in both the long jump and the sprints and adds: “I want my world record back in the long jump. Marie-Amelie Le-Fur took it last summer, but my goal is to hit 6.00m in Rio.”

Although Reid is considered a long jumper, she says: “I still love to sprint and I don’t believe I’ve run my fastest race yet. I’d like to get in the mid-13s (for 100m) for sure. I don’t normally target placings as I can’t control what other people do. If I can do 13.5, there’s no reason why I can’t be in the 27-second region for the 200m. It’s a tough ask, but very doable!”

With a Paralympic silver and

bronze medal among her collection, Reid has made no secret of her desire to win gold in Rio 2016, as well as competing at next year’s Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. She says positively: “I won bronze in Beijing, silver in London, and I’d like to cap things off with a gold in Rio. I know it’s a long shot, but I’d like to compete at the Commonwealth Games as an able-bodied athlete. I’m not afraid to say I’m going to go for it. It’s a great goal to have and I wouldn’t say it if I didn’t think it was possible.” Stef Reid can be followed on her journey via her website stefaniereid.co.uk

IF THERE is injury, physiotherapy help is needed. If not, then we physios are happily ignored.However, there is a more in-

depth relationship “enjoyed” by the professional athlete and serious amateur and their physio.

I emphasised “enjoyed” because such relationships come with their stresses. The regular criticism and pain dished out by the physio to the athlete cannot be considered as pleasant. The intensity and obsession of the professional athlete brings its own demands to the physio beyond the simple injury diagnosis and treatment sessions that are more familiar to most.

It is a working relationship that has trust at its core and an understanding that nothing is perfect, least of all the athlete or the physio. Throw into the mix the huge number of variables involved in training and competing at the edge of physical capacity and you begin to see the environment. There has to be an understanding that one can only try to minimise the impact of the variables. One cannot mitigate for them entirely.

The trust is that the athlete will tell the physio everything they

are feeling, everywhere and what aff ects it. The athlete trusts that the physio will not dismiss or ignore anything and will strive to work out the reasons for everything.

Accepting that everything happens for a reason is a good place to start. Logic has it therefore that one has to understand how everything works to determine why things happen. Applying this to the body means that everything has to be assessed and scored, when injured and when not injured, to build a picture of what is “normal” for that particular athlete. That picture is not one that can be drawn quickly. In truth it takes some years.

The practicality of this is that physio sessions will take several hours. Every part of the body will

Physio and athlete trust

relationship is essential



be assessed for its length, strength, control, mobility, tension, tightness, stability, fi ring pattern, slide and glide, and feel and look.

There are the traditional tests for length like hamstrings and strength like foot invertors. We can also do stranger assessments like neural slide and kidney or liver mobility.

The notion that a tight neck or a reduced rib rotation can alter the foot strike is a real one.

The idea that a slight lack of slide in the nervous system can shorten the stride is why we take so much time and pay so much attention to detail. It is also why we need to know how “normal” feels in a particular athlete to be able to notice the slightly abnormal. It will not be a pain, or a gross change, but a feeling that it is just not right.

The same goes for the watching of the running gait. The gait and how it changes when tired and at diff erent speeds, terrain or footwear are other important visual clues to how things are. This is both from an injury-limitation as well as a performance perspective. The use of video analysis of running when tired as well as inspection on the track when able is a valuable

tool. Once you know your athlete, you can tell when things are “not right”. The best coaches develop this sense as well.

Once the assessment has been made, there is a long shopping list of things to work on. There will be tightness and stiff ness in spinal, muscular and fascial structures, weakness in certain muscle groups, poor range in joints and lack of control or stability in specifi c areas or whole limbs. For example, how the hands are controlled makes a diff erence to how you run.

This shopping list directs immediate manual treatment to mobilise, lengthen and improve the slide and glide of the stiff and tight structures. The longer-term treatment of weakness and control is dealt with by specifi c strength work, targeted drills and movement pattern work.

It is possible to change how a whole body moves, but it takes time and dedication to the cause by the athlete. It takes patience and an understanding of the process and how change takes place. It takes at least six months but more profound change takes years. It has to take this long because of simple physiology.

Proper, permanent tissue changes take this long. To try to force it just leads to further problems.

Thus, trust has to be at the core. The physio has to trust that the athlete will tell them everything, however small. The athlete has to trust that the physio will work out the reasons and deal with them. They also have to understand that miracle workers do not exist, that issues will arise, that it is nobody’s fault but it is an inevitable result of the demands of training and competing. They have to be honest enough to look at all aspects without blame and alter accordingly.

We are, after all, only human.

Proper, permanent tissue changes

The physio needs to know what ‘normal’ feels like

when treating an athlete

Physio’s bench I’m a 16-year-old male javelin thrower and I recently fractured the ulna in my forearm playing volleyball at school. I’ve had the arm in plaster for four weeks now with a couple more to follow. What’s the best way to get back to fitness?

Gradual progression is the only way. When the arm comes out of the cast it will have lost a lot of strength and muscle bulk, not just in the forearm but in the whole of the upper arm and shoulder.

You will have lost range and power in the wrist and elbow in all directions. You will also have lost some of the control of the shoulder and its specific patterns of motion.

It is essential you return this to normal before attempting to throw because poor patterns of movement in the shoulder are the most common cause of career-threatening shoulder issues. You may well need the help of an experienced shoulder physio.

For the forearm, it is a case of restoring the movement gradually over a few weeks and building the use of the arm up with day-to-day activities initially, then adding resistance bands and eventually weights as you are able. Some hands on work will be required to mobilise the joints in the wrist and the elbow and restore the full range of motion. The javelin-specific strength will need targeted exercises and the end-stage rehab for the whole arm is an expert’s field so seek advice!

It will be around three months before you are ready to throw again, but a return to full competition will take around six months. You will need to work with your coach to ensure you are not developing bad habits throughout, especially in the shoulder.



IF YOU have had a conventional MRI scan and it has failed to identify the source of the problem, the answer could be in upright

MRI technology, which may get your running career back on track.

Almost half the adult population of the UK (49%) report lower-back pain lasting for at least 24 hours at some time in the course of a year. It is estimated that four out of every fi ve adults will experience back pain at some stage in their life, so it is not surprising that some 40% of all MRI scans are for back problems. Of these 40% of scans, conventional MRI is limited because of the recumbent position used as there is no weight-bearing and no capacity for the patient to be scanned in the position that causes them the pain.

People who have underlying lower-back problems tend to fi nd that running or jogging makes their pain worse or leads to additional types of pain such as sciatica. Approximately 20% of all sporting injuries involve an injury to the lower back or neck. The repetitive and relentless pounding nature of our sport places a great deal of stress on the back, often for a long duration.

Some runners suff er from back problems presumably because when they run they lose height. Water is pressed out of the intervertebral discs during running. This upsets the stability of the disc and places extra strain on the facet joints of the spine, resulting in

varying degrees of discomfort or pain.

This loss of disc height was well demonstrated in a study at the University of Aberdeen using an upright scanner where it was shown that after one hour of continuous running there were varying degrees of reduction in body height following the one hour of running. One volunteer lost 2cm of body height after running, six had 1cm reduction and three had 0.5cm reduction in body height. The remaining 15 volunteers showed no reduction in body height.

The potential benefi ts to patients scanned in seated or standing up positions are huge. In 50% of diffi cult-to-diagnose cases, upright MRI scanners show up spinal instability and fluctuating degenerate discs that would otherwise go unrecognised in conventional MRI scanners.

This could make the diff erence in solving that back pain which has stopped you from running, throwing or jumping for years. The scanners also enable patients suff ering from claustrophobia to be examined without any diffi culties and the weight-bearing nature of the scans can help diagnose knee, hip and ankle problems too.

So despite an abundance of evidence to suggest upright MRI can explain why so many of us are unable to perform to our full capacity due to back pain, why is it that we are constantly scanned in the lying down position when we experience the pain as we run?

sheds some light on the issue, saying: “We persist in scanning in the lying down position because that is how the original scanners did it. Scanning was developed in the late 1960s. The scanners were not very sensitive and took a long time to gather the information to make a scan. Therefore, patients were scanned lying down to be comfortable and relatively immobile to ensure a sharp non-moved image.

“Scanning times have decreased signifi cantly over the last 40 years but the medical profession has been slow to change. With the availability of upright scanners, now is the time to change and to investigate back pain in the standing or seated position to ensure an accurate display of any causative abnormality in the spine and surrounding soft tissues.”

Professor Smith goes on to give his opinion on why upright MRI could be crucial to not only runners, but the population as a

whole: “When most athletes suff er their back pain when standing or sitting, the only suitable and sensible method for showing any abnormality is in the upright position.

“I believe that it is illogical to scan someone with back pain lying down when the pain is worst in the upright position. Without the correct diagnosis it is not possible to give the correct treatment – only a scan in the position of pain can do this. Upright MRI of the spine will give the most information and allow for the best diagnosis.”

More than 300 upright MRI centres can be found worldwide, but the UK is behind despite an ever-increasing body of evidence of the advantages of weight-bearing MRI. However, on May 28 the Medserena Upright MRI Centre opened its doors to patients at 114a Cromwell Road, Kensington, London.

Coaching corner I’m a male county-standard runner with a PB of 14:50 for 5km on the roads, but I just can’t seem to get it right on the track with a best of 15:15. I seem to lose it physically and mentally. Any idea as to what’s happening and any advice on how to put things right?

Don’t despair – you are not alone in this 5km to 5000m syndrome. While running on the roads in theory should be slower than on the track due to the underfoot surface and possible slight undulations, many fail to run quicker on a track due to many psychological and physical reasons. Many runners find the roads easier simply because they focus on the course and the twists, turns and differing scenery which changes with almost every stride. A track event requires intense concentration and you are against the clock at least every 400m – it is monotonous and any bad patch is accentuated.

Although road events have many more participants, the field rapidly spreads out and the athlete usually has an uninterrupted passage. On the track, tactics come much more into play and jostling and the odd bump from another runner can be expected due to the close proximity of the field.

You will need to include sessions such as 8x800m, 6x1000m, 5x1200m, 3x1600m at slightly faster than race pace with relatively short recoveries. Sometimes these sessions should be done alone to condition the mind to focus more intently. Of course, you’ll need to keep some of your faster sessions going as you will want to run faster than the previous 11 and a half laps once the bell sounds!

SOUTH AFRICAComrades Marathon, Pietermaritzburg, June 2CLAUDE MOSHIYWA gained the first “up” course home win since 1992 as he set a record in the 88th edition of the race, run this time mainly uphill from Durban to Pietermaritzburg. The direction of the course alternates each year.

The women’s race was again dominated by the Russian twins Yelena and Olesya Nurgalieva, with Yelena gaining the upper hand by less than a minute as she scored her eighth victory in 6:27:08.

Britain’s Jo Zakrzewski repeated her fourth of 2012 to be the leading non-Russian, catching and passing the South African runner Charne Bosman in the closing 400m.

Zakrzweski, the world 100km silver medallist from 2011, said: “It was a really tough day at the office today with temperatureds in the thirties and it was like running into a blast furnace and really strong headwinds, which are hard when you are running alone with no one to shelter behind.

“With 400m to go I spotted the

fourth lady 150m in front of me so put the hammer down, overtaking her and finishing 50m ahead.”

SWITZERLANDGeneva, June 1EILIDH CHILD and Meghan Beesley achieved PBs and World Championships ‘A’ qualifying standards.

Child improved to 54.93 with Beesley second in 55.28 as the pair headed Perri Shakes-Drayton’s effort at Eugene the same day.

James Dasaolu also posted a Moscow ‘A’ standard with a 10.14 100m in his first outdoor race of the year.

He said: “I felt quite rusty to be honest. But I am happy to achieve the qualification for the World Championships in my first race of the year,” he said after anchoring Britain to a 4x100m win in a solid 38.74. “My focus this race weekend was refining my relay skills... As a team we have to make sure we get the baton round of every time we step on to the track.”

As Dasaolu missed the final, Joel Fearon clocked 10.24 and finished ahead of Dwain Chambers.

Danny Talbot was another sprinter in good form as he set a PB of 20.45, narrowly ahead of James Ellington’s 20.47 new best and Jimmy Vicaut.

Nigel Levine clocked 45.50 to win the 400m from Jarrin Solomon of Trinidad, while Emily Diamond won the women’s 400m in a European under-23 qualifier of 52.42.Men 100: A (0.3): 1 JOEL FEARON 10.24; 2 DWAIN CHAMBERS 10.31; 3 HARRY AIKINES-ARYEETEY 10.42; 4 SEAN SAFO-ANTWI 10.52; 5 CRAIG PICKERING 10.77.

JUNE 1-2ENGLAND ATHLETICS SENIOR/U20 COMBINED EVENTS CHAMPIONSHIPS, U18 EVENTS & OPEN THROWS, BedfordMORGAN LAKE went to second on the UK all-time lists with a stunning heptathlon win, which sets her up as a major contender for the IAAF World Youth Championships.

Lake scored 5725 points and only Katarina Johnson-Thompson has scored higher among Brits with the under-18 implements when she won the world title with 5750 points in Bressanone in 2009.

Lake began with a 14.46 hurdles, her best over 100 metres. Her high jump was a superb 1.83m and she followed that with a PB in the shot of 14.70m, albeit with the 3kg implement. Curiously, at the under-18 World Youths, she would throw a lighter shot than she would in British under-17 events.

Her 25.53 200m just missed her best and she finished overnight on 3610 points, with Kiera Barker also excelling on 3167 after heading Lake in the hurdles.

On the second day, Lake’s windy 5.72m long jump was her major blip and where she can pick up the most points in her next outing.

Her javelin (again with just a 500kg weight compared to the normal 600kg) of 39.56m was a big PB and she finished with a season’s best in the 800m of 2:30.16.

In the disability events, Hannah Cockroft set a world record in the 200m with a 30.64 200m.

Isaac Towers, a T34 wheelchair racer, achieved a European record in his 1500m of 3:41.88, while Bethany Woodward improved on her T37 200m European record set at the Paralympics with 29.29.Men: SP: 1 G Beard (ENG) 17.69; 2 S Lincoln (ENG) 15.81; 3 G Winter (WAL) 15.62.

Emelia GoreckaTHE Olympic heptathlon champion

will compete for the fi rst time as Jessica Ennis-Hill following her wedding to Andy last month.

It is the unlikely setting of the UK Women’s League premier division at Meadowbank in Edinburgh that she has chosen as her second competition of the season.

Hundreds of spectators, who have paid £5 each, will throng stands which will otherwise have been specked with mainly just athletes, team managers and offi cials.

It is a major boost for a league, run by volunteers, which is so low-key compared to Ennis-Hill’s usual level of competition that its website bizarrely does not carry a note about her appearance or how

to obtain tickets. The limited tickets remaining are available by visiting edinburghleisure.co.uk and the meeting starts at noon.

Ennis-Hill is due to compete in the long jump (noon), 100m hurdles (2.45pm) and javelin (3.20pm) on Saturday June 8.

Competing for Traff ord AC, she will be seeking to help the newly promoted side off to a good start in their 2013 campaign as she prepares for a higher level of competition at the Oslo Diamond League fi ve days later.

Birchfi eld will be looking for a flying start in this fi rst match of the season as they try to defend their title.

Meanwhile in the men’s British Athletics League, champions Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers will be in Manchester seeking to add another win following their success in Lee Valley on May 11.

UK Women’s League/British Athletics League, various, June 8-9

FOR many, Usain Bolt’s fi rst appearance in Europe this year is one of the most eagerly awaited in 2013.

The Jamaican goes up against in-form Justin Gatlin, who is unbeaten over 100m in a year in which he has clocked 9.91, the excitement over this 100m match-up has been heightened after Bolt’s unexpectedly slow and tight victory in the Cayman Islands on May 8. His 10.09 to only narrowly pip the unheralded Kemar Bailey-Cole was his slowest-ever in a fi nal.

That was after a great 150m clocking in Rio so it will be intriguing to see which Bolt turns up in the Italian capital. American Mike Rodgers, a 9.96 runner this season, is also there, while Britain’s Harry Aikines-Aryeetey looks set to be relegated to the ‘B’ race.

Two highly anticipated 2013 Diamond League debuts come from Phillips Idowu and Dai Greene.

Idowu, who had a disappointing fi rst competition of the year in France earlier this week, faces Teddy Tamgho, Christian Taylor and Daniele Greco.

Greene, the world 400m hurdles champion, starts his campaign following a hernia operation. Both he and Jack Green will face a tough

fi eld including world No.1 Jonny Dutch.

Britain’s top long jumper Shara Proctor meets the Olympic champion, Brittney Reese.

Meanwhile, pole vaulter Steve Lewis is another Brit contending with the London 2012 winner, in his case, Renaud Lavillenie.

Britain’s Lisa Dobriskey and Hannah England will be hoping to be somewhere near Abeba Aregawi, Genzebe Dibaba and Faith Kipyegon, who have each gone well below four minutes in 2013.

GB steeplechaser Eilish McColgan is in a race with, among others, Lydia Chepkirui, the world No.1 this season.

Other highlights include Allyson Felix in the 200m, Amantle Montsho looking to continue her domination of the women’s 400m this season, and Hagos Gebrhiwet versus Edwin Soi, who beat Mo Farah in Eugene, in the 5000m.

Dip Finish athleticsweekly.com Off-beat stories from the crazy world of athletics

FROM tuna tossing to mobile phone chucking, there are world records for throwing all kinds of strange objects. Everything, in fact, from the kitchen sink to a featherlight playing card.

Roald Bradstock, the veteran British javelin thrower, owns a few marks himself. And now young hammer thrower Alex Smith has added his name to the Guinness record books by launching a space hopper 17.02 metres.

The Sale athlete, who won the British Olympic Trials last year and competed at the 2012 Games, swapped his hammer for a space hopper at the Humber Bridge on May 24.

A whole new ball game

Hengelo survives after Geb plea

LOUISE HAZEL has made headlines in the celebrity news columns by dating actor Michael Fassbender.

The Commonwealth heptathlon champion has struck up a close friendship with the star of fi lms such as Prometheus and X-Men. The duo have even been spotted dining out with Fassbender’s pal and fellow actor Bradley Cooper.

One of Fassbender’s early breaks in acting was as one of the lead characters in the Spartan movie 300. Like most of the warriors in that fi lm (pictured below) he sported an amazing six-pack.

But the 36-year-old German-Irish actor might have met his match with Hazel, as the heptathlete has an impressive stomach musculature herself and only this week released a fi tness video online called “The Podium Eff ect 2 minute abs workout”.

Alex Smith: thrower swapped hammer for a space hopper

BRITAIN might be enjoying some summer weather at last this week, but heavy rainfall in central Europe led to a top German meeting in Jena being cancelled due to floods last weekend.

As can be seen (left), in this photo posted on Twitter by former European long jump champion Christian Reiff , the stadium was drowned in water.

Smith threw from the grassy area at the foot of the Humber Bridge on the North Bank - and it happened ahead of the Humber Hop space hopper race on June 1, which was held under the Community Games banner to raise money for local YMCAs.

ATHLETICS WEEKLY readers continue to ensure this magazine reaches the parts other magazines do not by sending their back issues to Uganda.

There, they are gratefully received by athletes, many of whom cannot easily get hold of magazines very easily.

Kevin O’Connor, an ex-pat who lives in Uganda and who is distributing AW to athletes, says: “We did the last distribution of 106 mags on World Athletics Day (May 25) in Soroti, Eastern Uganda.

“The magazines are hugely appreciated by these almost all, poor

athletes, many of whom do not even have shoes to run in.”

If you have old issues you’d like to send, please mail to Kevin O’Connor, PO Box 40295, Kampala, Uganda.

THERE’S a happy ending to last week’s story about the athletics track in Hengelo being under threat of demolition. The football club, Twente Enschede, that wanted to rebuild the stadium has dropped its plans.

Even Haile Gebrselassie, known as

“Mr Hengelo” due to his record-breaking success there over the years, had voiced his concern by tweeting: “Don’t throw away my World Record track!

“I can not understand that Hengelo considers to throw away such a world class athletics event.”

German meet completely rained off
