Essence of athleticsAFTER maintaining a stubborn silence for several days, punctuated only by an unsatisfactory semi-solution of a statement last week, the organisers of the Edinburgh Marathon fi nally succumbed to huge pressure on Monday and with a graciously-worded announcement to say their results would no longer be a secret (News, p8).

If this sorry saga teaches us one thing, it reminds us just how important simple results are. Athletes aren’t awarded points for artistic impression. All that matters is how fast they run, or how high or far they jump, or how far they throw.

It’s why such marks – measured by the ticking hand of a clock or the ribbon of a tape measure – fi ll such a huge chunk of AW every week. They are the essence of athletics and in hiding them behind a password the Edinburgh Marathon organisers were tampering with the very fabric of our sport.

LAST weekend saw athletes scrambling to earn selection for the Commonwealth Games. An early summer deadline to impress selectors, allied to the fi erce qualifying standards set by England last year, has put athletes under big pressure to qualify.

Fans who enjoy seeing full teams, though, need not worry. The home countries are likely to name big squads for the Games. England, for example, will probably have around 100 track and fi eld competitors.

All of this will come as a relief to critics of the recent GB strategy of picking potential fi nalists and future podium placers and leaving probable “championship tourists” at home.

Results mysteryTHE initial policy of the Edinburgh Marathon may appear baffl ing (News, p8), but I wonder whether there might have been method in their madness.

There is a small but growing band of runners that “participate” rather than “race”. Perhaps Edinburgh were hoping to corner a new market

in catering for some who would rather not have their time displayed. It is surely only a matter of time before someone does this.Paul Halford, Deputy editor

Lake’s summer event dilemma

Gay and Gatlin set for battle in LausanneSOME in the sport expressed disgust when Americans Tyson Gay and Justin Gatlin were announced as headliners of the IAAF Diamond League meeting in Lausanne on July 3.

Gatlin, the 2004 Olympic champion, returned in 2010 from a doping ban, while Gay’s 12-month drugs suspension ends on June 23.

Gay was controversially given the retroactive lenient ban by the US Anti-Doping Agency last month after he failed a test last June. The agency said it had taken into account his cooperation into investigations thought to include his former coach, Jon Drummond, and possibly others.

Gatlin heads the world 100m rankings this year with a time of 9.87 and won the Eugene Diamond League race with a wind-assisted 9.76.

Euromeetings, an association of Europe’s top athletics invitational events of which Lausanne is part, previously had a policy of not inviting former dopers.

MORGAN LAKE received a barrage of advice when she asked on Twitter this week whether she should compete in the IAAF World Junior Championships or Glasgow’s Commonwealth Games.

The 17-year-old would clearly be a strong contender for the world junior title after setting her PB of 6081 for 17th in the Hypo Meeting in Gotzis last weekend. She ranks second in the world this year.

However, the heptathlon takes place in Eugene on July 22-23, concluding six days before the

combined events competition in Glasgow 2014.

On the day selectors met to discuss the team to recommend to Commonwealth Games England, Lake wrote on Twitter: “World juniors or Commonwealths”.

The majority of those tweeting back at her urged her to opt for the Commonwealth Games. However, UK javelin record-holder Goldie Sayers wrote: “Go win a title at the WJCH”.

Kelly Sotherton, the 2004 Olympic heptathlon bronze medallist, agreed, tweeting: “Go

win a global title, so world juniors! Then comeback and do the Euros high jump!”

She added: “Also in two years is Olympics. Would you do WJ hept in that year too? And you’ll get a home crowd in 2017 at World Champs!”

The Glasgow high jump takes place on July 30 and Lake is the UK junior record-holder and Commonwealth No.2 with 1.93m. She is fourth on this year’s Commonwealth rankings.

Her decision will be revealed on Monday when Commonwealth Games England announce the team.

DESPITE believing her win in Gotzis last weekend in a PB was the biggest breakthrough so far in her career, Katarina Johnson-Thompson believes there is plenty more to come, writes Paul Halford.

The 21-year-old went to third on the UK all-time heptathlon list with 6682 to win at the world’s top invitational combined events meeting.

Johnson-Thompson added her name to the list of greats who have won the Hypo-Meeting in its 40-year history including Daley Thompson, Roman Sebrle, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Carolina Kluft and Jessica Ennis-Hill.

However, despite the win over a fi eld which included the world silver and bronze medallists from last year and the world indoor penathlon champion, she claimed she was disappointed with her fi rst day.

She was three hundredths of a second off her PB in the 100m hurdles with 13.47 and then six centimetres off in the high jump with 1.90m and then struggled in the shot, her weakest event, with 12.17m.

“I was defi nitely disappointed with the fi rst day because I thought I could give a lot more,” said the Liverpool Harrier. “I wanted more in the hurdles because I got a PB the weekend before. The high jump was a bit of a rusty competition as it was my fi rst outdoor high jump of the season so I was fi nding my way into it. And I’m always disappointed with the shot put.

“I think after day one I’d have been happy to come away with maybe 6500-odd and I thought I’d blown it.”

However, she sprang back into contention for the win at the start of day two in the 200m as she smashed her PB with 22.89 behind Dafne Schippers’ amazing 22.35.

“I think my day two is strong and the 200m performance I didn’t expect at all – I was just chasing Dafne down,” she said.

The world indoor long jump silver medallist felt the victory was her biggest breakthrough so far – more so than her fi fth place at last year’s Worlds in Moscow.

“I defi nitely think it is, especially when it’s not a world or Olympic year and I’m not going to be doing the Europeans. Everyone was looking at Gotzis. That will be the world championship fi eld next year pretty much.”

London 2012 Olympic champion Jessica Ennis-Hill and former world champion Tatyana Chernova, both taking pregnancy breaks, and world champion Hanna Melnychenko were of course notable absentees who are expected to be in Beijing next year, but Ennis-Hill knows she will have a fi ght on her hands just to remain British No.1.

AS ATHLETES across all the home countries prepared to make fi nal assaults on qualifying performances for the Commonwealth Games, England revealed the kit to be worn by its team in Glasgow.

Lancashire-based sportswear company Kukri will kit out the 600-plus athletes and staff across all sports.

The red, white and maroon range features the English red lion symbol and Kukri says the designs symbolise the “attributes of strength, pride, commitment and courage”.

Team England chef de mission Jan Paterson said: “Unveiling our kit is a unique moment for Team England on our journey to Glasgow 2014 and this is a very exciting day for us.

“The kit that Kukri and Arena have produced embodies what we represent as a team and I am very proud that the athletes have been at the heart of the design of this kit. From selection of Kukri, to the scope of what kit was in their bag to the design itself, our athletes have led the way. We may be 17 sports, but we are united as a single spirit and our Team England kit is a true representation of that.”

Kukri founder and group managing director Phil Morris said: “We were incredibly proud

back in April 2013 when we were informed by Commonwealth Games England that we had been chosen by the athletes as the offi cial kit supplier to Team England.

“Kukri has a unique ability to produce clothing for 76 sports so when CGE asked us to produce kit for their 17 sports for Glasgow 2014 we were delighted to accept the challenge.

“Today is a culmination of a lot of hard work by the team with

a huge amount of input from athletes about what they did and didn’t want and we are very proud that Team England will take to the world stage in Glasgow looking fantastic and relevant for each of their individual sports while clearly being part of the family which is Team England.”

The replica range will be on sale to the public via kukrisports.com

BRETT MORSE, one of Wales’ top hopes in the team soon to be announced for the Commonwealth Games, says being without a coach after his split last month with Andy Brittain will not aff ect his Glasgow chances.

The man who last weekend added Welsh gold to the British title he won in 2013, had been guided by Brittain since just after the 2012 London Olympics.

He was the fi fth career coach for Morse, who was guided by Nigel Bevan between 2008 and 2012 and then briefly by Vesteinn Hafsteinsson.

Morse, who was ranked third in the Commonwealth last year, has no plans to fi nd a successor immediately.

Saying he felt it was time for a change, the UK all-time No.2 discus thrower said: “Currently I’m just trying to get myself ready for the Commonwealth Games and not think about that kind of thing. I have a training programme in place. I did this in 2011 and threw very well. It’s only six weeks away.

“When you’re in the season you don’t need to work on too much technically. It’s just tiny

things. I don’t have to go into the gym and kill myself. I’ve done the programme for over four or fi ve years now so I’ll just stick with it.”

Morse threw 61.67m in Cardiff on Saturday but has so far been disappointed with his opening four

eff orts of 2014, his season’s best being fi ve metres down on his PB.

“My start to the season’s been a little bit frustrating,” said the 25-year-old. “I’ve only done 61.45m, but in training I’ve thrown hugely over my personal best. I’m

pretty confi dent because I know what I’ve done in training and I’ve just got to get it right. I haven’t hit a discus at the right angle – it’s always been a bit off . As soon as I get that right I know the big throw is in there.”

He is a better athlete than when he fi nished sixth in the 2010 Commonwealth Games, but the standard is expected to be tougher as four athletes in the Commonwealth have already thrown over 65 metres this year.

“Normally the Commonwealth Games in my event isn’t a great standard but this year it’s pretty loaded,” he said. “It will genuinely be some of the best throwers in the world fi ghting for a medal.

“The Commonwealths are almost a stepping stone to the Europeans, which will be slightly harder. If I can do well there then hopefully I can achieve my aims at the Europeans.”

However, he is clearly aiming for bigger things as he added: “It’s all about preparation for Rio and doing well in major champs and competing against the best in the world from now on. It’s only two years out and it’s about time I started doing that.”

THE indoor arena in Donetsk which has played host to several world pole vault records has been subject to an arson attack reportedly by pro-Russian separatists in troubled Ukraine.

The Druzhba Arena, normally an ice hockey venue, was where Renaud Lavillenie set his world record of 6.16m and where Sergey Bubka set the previous mark of 6.15m in 1993.

The facility was left with considerable damage after 10 fire crews battled the blaze in the country which has been the scene of widespread political protests recently.

No reports of injuries or casualties were made, but it is thought the repair work could take three months.

Bubka also set a world record there in 1991, while Yelena Isinbayeva did so in 2004.

Bubka, who organises the annual Pole Vault Stars meeting at the venue, wrote on Twitter: “Hope Arena will be restored soon continuing to serve sport. We remember @airlavillenie 616 there this year”

A HANDICAP 800m race will be held in Loughborough on September 14 in memory of Mark Sesay.

The former UK 800m champion, who died last November aged 40, was a hugely popular character and old friends and former middle-distance runners have already shown a big interest in taking part in the memorial run.

Already, interested entrants include Curtis Robb, Jason Lobo, Steffan White, Ikem Billy, Brian Whittle, Vince Wilson, Darius Burrows and Justin Swift-Smith.

Andy Hart, one of Sesay’s close rivals and friends from the 1990s, is also involved as the organiser trying to pull it all together.

He said: “Mark was my main rival back in the

late Nineties and we went on to become great friends. Like all of them, I was devastated when he passed away last year and would love to do something to keep his memory alive.”

Their PBs were also close, Sesay running 1:45.68 and Hart 1:45.71 – but Hart says the event will be a fun handicap race with no official timekeepers.

“Mark would have no doubt thought it hilarious to see all the old guys getting competitive with their grey, balding hair and ageing bodies!” he added.

Funds from the event will go to the British Lung Foundation and interested entrants should email [email protected]

RACE walking comes home on Saturday when the York Sport Village hosts the British Grand Prix of Race Walking on Saturday (June 7).

The fi rst amateur race walking event took place in the city 111 years ago and the University of York site hosts the trial for the European Championships while doubling as a European Athletics Race Walking Permit meeting.

Forty athletes from 12 countries will compete in the men’s and women’s 20km and junior 10km races.

As far as the Brits are concerned, the fi rst two athletes with the qualifying times in

the 20km (83:30/92:00) will be automatically selected, while the juniors will have their eye on IAAF World Junior Championships selection.

Australia’s Dane Bird-Smith, who was 14th in last month’s IAAF World Race Walking Cup in Moscow, will be among the favourites, alongside New Zealand’s Quentin Rew, who was 17th in last year’s World Championships 50km and has a PB of 82:16.

Tom Bosworth, whose recent PB of 82:20 is a European standard, needs just to fi nish in the top Brits to secure selection.

Leeds’ Jamie Higgins will be

hoping to improve on his 86:02 PB set in April, while Ireland’s Alex Wright and Brendon Boyce will be other names to watch out for.

Denied the chance to defend her Commonwealth title this year because of the controversial decision to omit walks from the programme, Johanna Atkinson (née Jackson) continues her comeback.

The UK record-holder at 90:41 has clocked 93:43 this year.

The junior women’s 10km sees Ellie Dooley and Emma Achurch, who were 27th and 32nd in the recent World Cup, taking part.

ONE of the best high jump fi elds in history highlights some potentially great clashes at the IAAF Diamond League in Rome today (June 5).

For the fi rst time since 1992 fi ve men with PBs over 2.40m have been assembled in the same competition.

Ivan Ukhov and Bohdan Bondarenko, the No.1-ranked athletes over the last two seasons, will take on world indoor champion Mutaz Essa Barshim and newer members of the 2.40m club, Derek Drouin and Aleksey Dmitrik.

Brianna Rollins, for the fi rst time since she won the world title in Moscow last year, will face Olympic champion Sally Pearson as two of the fastest fi ve women in history clash for only the second time in their careers.

World indoor champion Nia Ali, Olympic silver medallist Dawn Harper-Nelson, American Queen Harrison and Britain’s Tiff any Porter also feature.

Jo Pavey and Julie Bleasdale are back in the thick of world-class track running for the fi rst

time since reaching the London Olympic fi nal. They face Almaz Ayana, Mercy Cherono and Viola Kibiwot, all of who beat Genzebe Dibaba in the superfast 3000m in Doha.

In the women’s 800m former world champion Caster Semenya makes a rare Diamond League appearance, taking on world champion Eunice Sum.

Justin Gatlin, the fastest man in the world at the moment, goes in the 100m against South Africa’s Simon Magakwe and Brits Adam Gemili and Richard Kilty, who will be hoping to join those two as part of the sub-10 club in the right conditions.

Triple world champion Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce headlines the women’s race.

Asbel Kiprop will be out to maintain his dominance in the 1500m against another sub-3:30 performer this year, Silas Kiplagat, and the resurgent and controversial London 2012 Olympic champion Taoufi k Makhloufi .

David Rudisha is missing from the 800m, but world champion Mohamed Aman is seeking revenge against Nijel Amos, who beat him in Eugene.

Other London 2012 Olympic champions in action are triple jumper Christian Taylor and shot-putter Valerie Adams, who is trying to extend her winning streak to 48.

After recent narrow defeat to Kirani James in Eugene, world champion LaShawn Merritt goes in the 400m where Britain’s Nigel Levine lines up.

Other Brits in action are Eilidh Child in the 400m hurdles and Brett Morse in the discus.

BBC3 will cover the event live starting at 7pm.

THE organisers of the Edinburgh Marathon completed a U-turn this week on its original decision not to publish full results of the races held on May 30-31.

Runners were mystifi ed when GSI Events took the highly unusual action of declaring they would only publish the top three from its marathon, half-marathon, team relay, 10km, 5km and junior races.

However, after fi rst deciding fi ve days on to allow runners to opt in to publishing their own results, this Monday they admitted, “We have listened and we got it wrong” and said they would publish results from all the events in full.

Race director Neil Kilgour said in a statement: “We would like to thank runners for all feedback and for telling us what is important to you. We value our runners and we now know that only publishing their results within their My Details account was the wrong decision. We thought that this was the runner’s preference to receive results exclusively, however we have been listening to your feedback and now understand and

accept that this is not appropriate for you.”

The Edinburgh Marathon website initially stated: “All your personal data and information, including your running times, are treated with great respect.

“As such your result information is exclusively available to you within your My Details account after you have completed the race.”

However, anyone was able to fi nd out the time of any competitor by typing their name or bib

number into the photograph search facility on the organisers’ website.

Further, this appeared to be in breach of the conditions it had to fulfi l as an IAAF bronze label race, which included: “Offi cial results for all participants should be made available on the race’s website within the shortest possible time”. The IAAF said last week it intended to hold discussions with the organisers.

Meanwhile, it is a condition of the road race license it held that

full results be given to Scottish Athletics within 28 days and last week the governing body north of the border also said it was in talks.

The Edinburgh Marathon is a member of the Association of International Marathons and Distance Races (AIMS) and, although not in breach of any its conditions, had been written to regarding the policy by one of its offi cials.

UKA may also have decided not to include any results from the race as part of the Power of 10 and Run Britain rankings.

In the face of all this, it would have seemed surprising if they had held out in its initial policy.

GSI also organises the Scottish Half-marathon, Bournemouth Marathon Festival and the Kilomathon and say their policy to publish full results will also be in place for these events.

More than 8000 competed in the marathon, billed as the fastest course in the UK because of its point-to-point nature and overall downhill gradient, and more than 9000 in the half-marathon.

No longer a secret society: Edinburgh fi nishers will be publicised in future

SCOTTISH ATHLETICS was last week mourning the deaths of three notable characters, including well known coach Derek Parker.

Most recently Derek was best known for guiding Hayley Haining to the World Championships in the marathon, but he also coached Bobby Quinn and Claire Gibson.

He was a former Scottish Athletics Federation performance coach of the year.

An occasional contributor to AW’s coaching section over the years, he showed his desire to help by ending his articles with an offer to advise readers for free over the phone.

Mike Johnston, performance

manager with Scottish Athletics, said: “Derek will be sorely missed by everyone across the athletics community in Scotland as he was a well known figure for so many years.

“It will be particularly hard at the moment for all the athletes that he coached at various stages.

“He was a stalwart with Kilbarchan AAC and gave tireless service to the sport, athletes and his club.

“He’s been known more widely around Britain for his coaching work with a trio of international athletes.

“He developed Bobby Quinn into a multi-discipline international athlete and guided the career of Claire

Gibson, who went to Delhi for the 2010 Commonwealth Games with Scotland.”

The funeral will be held on Thursday 5th June at 12pm at Woodside Crematorium, Paisley.

Heather StillHEATHER STILL, who was a 13-year-old athlete with Giffnock North, died after being hit by a train at Whitecraigs station last week.

British Transport Police said no suspicious circumstances surrounded her death.

Her older sister, Holly, represented Scotland at the Virgin Money London Mini Marathon in April.

Jimmy SandsJIMMY SANDS, a Paralympic gold medallist from 1988 in the T35 cross country event, died last week.

He was one of a quartet of Scottish athletes with cerebral palsy who dominated cross-country and track sprints in the late 1980s.

He was active with Ron Hill Cambuslang Harriers and Red Star AC until recent illness.

His funeral will be held at Woodside Crematorium, Paisley, Glasgow at 1pm on Friday June 6.

Sands’ family ask for no flowers, please, but any donations that are made to Accord hospice would be much appreciated.

Many of the sport’s biggest names were competing as the track and field season moved up a gear. It is difficult to choose a highlight but the race of the meeting was a titanic head to head in the men’s 400m.

Here, Olympic champion Kirani James of Grenada held on to pip world champion LaShawn Merritt of the US. Despite it not being a Diamond League race it was one of the highlights of a series of stacked events, as a sub-44 second run was achieved for the first time this year by not one, but two athletes.

The winning time of 43.97 was shared by the duo, ahead of Saudi sprinter Yousef Masrahi with 44.77. Behind them, Britain’s Martyn Rooney clocked a season’s best 45.52 for sixth.

The blue ribbon event of the meeting, the Bowerman Mile, featured a world-leading mark and Diamond League

record and a national best from Djibouti’s Ayanleh Souleiman. Six runners went sub-3:50, led by Souleiman’s 3:47.32 – the quickest mile in the world since 2007 and a time that was good enough to nudge Seb Coe from the all-time top 10 list.

Behind him, Kenya’s 2011 world 1500m silver medallist and Commonwealth champion Silas Kiplagat clocked a 3:47.88 PB, Aman Wote ran an Ethiopian record 3:48.60 and Abdalaati Iguider, James Magut and Collins Cheboi all ran PBs as two-time world champion Asbel Kiprop clocked 3:50.26 for seventh.

Kiprop had led into the back straight on the final lap but was unable to react when Souleiman swept past. “My dream was 3:47 or 3:48,” said the 21-year-old Souleiman, who won 800m bronze at the Worlds in Moscow. “I’m happy today.”

“I was expecting to run close to 3:47 and unfortunately it wasn’t my day,” Kiprop said. “I don’t know. I wasn’t comfortable. In the last 200m I wasn’t responding. I think this is due to that we came from the World Relays last weekend and came straight here.”

The first evening of action – ‘Distance Night in Eugene’ – witnessed a US record for Galen Rupp over 10,000m as the Olympic silver medallist ran 26:44.36 to better his own national mark.

Rupp ran his first 5000m in 13:26 and second in 13:18 as he clocked a last mile of 4:06 and final four laps of 65, 64, 59 and 58. The American, who was watched from the stands by training partner Mo Farah, also looked full of running as he broke well clear from his rivals with a couple of laps to go and finished well clear.

“The crowd was phenomenal, this many people showing up,” Rupp said. “Walking over from my hotel, I couldn’t believe all the people sitting in the stands. It’s what makes this place so special. These people come out and they’re so excited about a 10km.

“I felt great the whole race,” he added. “I could tell the pace was starting to slow down a little bit. I thought those guys might be getting tired. So I decided to just go for it.”

There wasn’t any record-breaking in Saturday’s 5000m

Eugene serves up a classic

event, though Kenya’s world indoor 3000m champion Caleb Ndiku continued to impress, just missing the 13 minute-mark with a world-leading 13:01.71 and beating Ethiopia’s Yenew Alamirew with 13:02.91 and Kenya’s Edwin Soi with 13:04.92, his confi dent run and strong kick making the diff erence.

There were a few surprises at this third leg of the Diamond League series. With the world long jump silver medallist Blessing Okagbare in the fi eld it was highly possible that 200m victory could go to a long jump specialist, and it did, just not to the Nigerian. It was in fact Tori Bowie, running in lane one, who clocked the 22.18 world lead, the US indoor championships long jump runner up beating a fi eld also including the likes of Allyson Felix, Murielle Ahoure and Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce – down in eighth – to smash her previous best of 22.5.

Bowie’s victory followed that of France’s world indoor silver medallist Pascal Martinot-Lagarde who saw off the likes of Hansle Parchment, David Oliver and Ryan Wilson in the 110m hurdles with his 13.13 world lead, as decathlon world record-holder Ashton Eaton also beat 2011 world champion

and the Olympic silver medallist Jason Richardson, the combined eventer equalling his sprint hurdles PB of 13.35, despite switching to focus on the 400m hurdles this year.

Russia’s Olympic champion Anna Chicherova cleared a best of 2.01m in the high jump to beat Poland’s Justyna Kasprzycka with a 1.99m PB and Spain’s Ruth Beitia, also with a best of 1.99m. Olympic triple jump silver medallist Will Claye of the US took the lead with his 17.42m

(+2.2) in the second round. But he bettered it in the third with a legal wind too, as he managed 17.66m (+0.8) for a meeting record before sitting out his fi nal three goes.

World pole vault record-holder Renaud Lavillenie was again victorious with a best clearance of 5.80m, while Czech thrower Vitezslav Vesely won the javelin with 83.75m.

Back on the track and Botswana’s Olympic silver medallist Nijel Amos won the

penultimate event of the meeting, the 800m, beating Ethiopia’s world indoor and outdoor champion Aman and Kenya’s world record-holder Rudisha who fi nished back in seventh on his return to competition following injury having looked strong but missing the necessary fi nishing power.

Amos has dispelled rumours from several months ago that he was poised to quit athletics to become a DJ. In Eugene he clocked a world-leading and meeting record 1:43.63 ahead of Aman’s 1:43.99, as Rudisha ran 1:44.87 to fi nish one spot ahead of Britain’s Andrew Osagie with a season’s best 1:45.37.

“Only the last 100m was a little bit tough. I started a bit late with my training this year, only in March, due to the knee problems. It has been like a crash programme to get ready,” Rudisha said.

“I need to sharpen up to get competition-ready. The body

needs competition to build that speed. I was tiring over the last 100 metres. I’ll go back and see how I can build up so I can finish next time. But to be out for so long, I am satisfied with my time of 1:44.”

Also among the Brits in action was Laura Weightman who ran a 1500m PB of 4:02.72 to finish eighth in a race won by the woman of the moment in middle-distance terms, recent African 3000m record-setter Hellen Obiri.

Obiri clocked a world-leading 3:57.05, also a meeting record, to beat Sweden’s world

indoor and outdoor champion Abeba Aregawi with 3:57.57 as a total of five athletes dipped under 4:00, Jenny Simpson and

Sifan Hassan included. Weightman was happy

with her early season PB but

fellow Briton Hannah England did not look as strong as she finished

12th with 4:07.40.

Emma Coburn claimed a surprise 3000m steeplechase victory in Shanghai and she went even quicker in Eugene, the American clocking a 9:17.84 PB but this time she had to be satisfied with third as Ethiopia’s Sofia Assefa ran a meeting record 9:11.39, also a world lead, and her compatriot Hiwot Ayalew clocked 9:12.89.

Britain’s Eilish McColgan clocked 10:15.59 for 11th in her first competition since last September.

Justin Gatlin ran faster than his own 100m world lead in

clocking 9.76 for victory but with an illegal wind as fellow American Michael Rodgers clocked 9.80 and Frenchman Jimmy Vicaut ran 9.89.

World indoor 400m silver medallist Kaliese Spencer of Jamaica clocked a world lead over the barriers, her 54.29 enough for victory with Olympic finalist Georganne Moline hitting a hurdle in the closing stages and suffering a heavy fall.

Jamaica’s Novlene Williams-Mills won the 400m flat in 50.40 from USA’s Francena McCorory with 50.53.

ELLIE GREENWOOD, the Scottish-born, Canadian-based ultra-distance runner, has become the fi rst British

woman to win the historic Comrades Marathon.

The 35-year-old broke an 11-year stranglehold of Russian victories in the women’s race when she made up a huge defi cit on the Nurgalieva sisters – Elena and Olesya – before overhauling the long-time leaders and multiple winners in the latter stages of the 56-mile race.

Greenwood, a member of Serpentine Running Club, clocked 6hr 18min 15sec as she became the fi rst British winner of the event since Mick Orton in 1972. Indeed, since the famous race began in 1921 there have only been three British winners – all of them men.

Elena Nurgalieva, an eight-time winner of the race, was fi ve minutes behind in second with twin Olesya, herself a two-time

former winner, in third a further minute behind.

Elena had been hoping to equal the record nine victories that legendary Bruce Fordyce achieved in the 1980s.

It was Greenwood’s third time at Comrades after she fi nished fourth in 2011 and second in 2012 and then had to miss last year’s race due to injury.

Greenwood was content to run her own race at the start, with the Russian twins holding a lead of four minutes at the 20km mark which they maintained at the halfway point reached in 3:03:09 to Greenwood’s 3:07:18 in third. By 70km the sisters, still running together, had increased their lead to almost seven minutes, but Greenwood proved by far the stronger in the last 20km, narrowing the lead to just under three minutes by 82km, the last checkpoint.

While both Russians were slowing, Greenwood picked up the pace, taking the lead on the

last stretch and running 27:50 for the last 7km (roughly 40-minute 10km pace).

“I had a pretty terrible race in a lot of ways,” she said. “But I’m so happy to win – this is the highlight of my career.”

The native of Dundee, who now lives in Vancouver, enjoyed a big breakthrough in 2011 when she won the world 100km title in Gibraltar when representing Britain for the fi rst time. In addition she has won the prestigious Western States 100 mile trail race in 2011 and 2012. But after an injury-hit 2013, she determinedly worked her way back to fi tness with a comeback win at last September’s Moray Marathon in 2:53:52 while on a trip home to visit her family in Fife.

Then this spring she prepared well and won the wonderfully titled “Chuckanut 50km” in the United States before coming close to her marathon PB when recording 2:43:04 in fi nishing

second woman at her local Vancouver Marathon on May 4.

There was also an outstanding run from Tavistock’s Jo Meek who fi nished fi fth in 6:47:02.

Zola Budd Pieterse, meanwhile, enjoyed a superb run in ninth. Thirty years after she raced barefoot for Britain in the Los Angeles Olympics, the now 48-year-old California-based runner enjoyed great support from the crowds as she returned to her native South Africa.

Like Greenwood, Budd Pieterse said she also suff ered massively in the middle of the race but the help of bystanders saw her through to the fi nish in 6:55:55.

Among the age groupers, Jacqueline Millett of Britain won the W60 race after a sprint fi nish at the end of the 56-mile event.

In the men’s race Bongmusa Mthembu won in 5hr 28min 34sec with leading European Jonas Buud of Sweden in seventh. Mthembu fi nished the 89km race over four minutes ahead of Ludwick Mamabolo, the defending ‘down run’ winner from 2012.

The event is as big in South Africa as the London Marathon is in the UK. And with the course changing direction each year, the downhill route in 2014 – starting in Pietermaritzburg and fi nishing on the coast – will switch to a mainly uphill course next year.

“The downhill course plays to my strengths,” said Greenwood, “but if you know it’s uphill then you train for that and so it’s likely I’ll be back next year to defend my title.”

Zola Budd Pieterse: fi ne run aged 48



ACTION Bedford International Games, Bedford, May 31-June 1

THIS 20th edition of this athlete-led, popular meeting usually referred to as “BIG” was spread over two

days this year in order to give Commonwealth Games hopefuls final chances to post useful performances and impress the selectors of England and Wales.

Both countries’ Commonwealth Games councils had stated that Sunday was the last day upon which qualification marks could be set, but Scots have an extra week in which to gain the standards.

The 100m was the feature event of the first day and both men and women athletes had two chances. Winds were favourable at just under the legal limit.

Adam Gemili was the quickest of the men with 10.08 in the first race, while Dina Asher-Smith, the European under-20 200m champion, proved the pick of the women, her best coming in the second.

Perhaps predictably, Gemili was happy with his 10.08 clocking and passed up the second race on advice from his coach in advance of his appearance in

this weekend’s Diamond League in Rome. Behind the 20-year-old, Danny Talbot clocked 10.14, which shaved 0.03 from his PB set in Clermont, USA, in April. Joel Fearon ran 10.26 for third.

Talbot returned later in the day to take the second-round race in 10.19 ahead of Fearon’s 10.27 and then added the 200m on the Sunday in 20.61 against a -0.6m/sec breeze. “I’ve been a bit tired all week after coming back from the (World) relays,” said Talbot.

Despite his 10.14, Talbot says

that he has always believed he was a 200m runner and it is at that distance that he ranks higher for Commonwealth Games selection. Behind Talbot, who goes to Prague this weekend, Chris Clarke, who made a breakthrough here last year in clocking 20.22, ran 20.86.

After posting 11.31 in the first race, 18-year-old Asher-Smith returned later in the afternoon of the first day, to reinforce her position at the top of the UK under-20 rankings with 11.21. This

was just 0.01 shy of her PB set earlier this year in Loughborough and means the second best ever British junior female sprinter has qualification times for both Commonwealth and European championships, though she is focusing primarily on the World Junior Championships.

Second-placed Ashleigh Nelson was also inside the marks with 11.28, while UK record-holder Montell Douglas was third on 11.51. Day one men’s 200m winner Kieran Daly ran 21.00.

The BIG time

The women’s 200m on day two saw Joey Duck battling against a headwind of -1.3m/sec while winning in 23.82.

The 400m hurdles were also a feature event of the opening day and Tom Burton was the pick of a close bunch. Despite hitting the fi nal hurdle, he came home in 50.63 for his fi rst mark

of the year. Earlier the opening race over the sticks saw Channel Islander Stanley Livingstone win his heat in 53.06 before falling foul of the judges and being disqualifi ed. His time would have ranked him No.2 under-20 for the year in the UK.

“The judge said my trail leg didn’t go over,” said the 17-year-

old. Livingstone, who returned on Sunday to post 53.65, which was a legal PB after coming late for a narrow victory.

The women’s flat 400m saw a narrow win for Victoria Ohuruogu in 52.71, a time faster than big sister Christine, the world champion, ran in the world relays the previous week.

“I’m really tired from travelling,” said the Newham sprinter, who recovered after a slow start. “I was kind of scared not to blow out as I went to the World Relays but didn’t get a run.”

Scott Rider had opening throws of 18.14m and 18.19m to dominate the shot.

There were fi ve hammer throwers over 60m in Saturday’s women’s event led by Sophie Hitchon’s 66.92m, as 19-year-old Louisa James lobbed a personal best 60.83m in fourth.

The men’s event, on the fi rst

day, saw Alex Smith come out on top with 71.95m ahead of Mark Dry’s 71.59m as the rest of the 70-metre throwers fell short.

It was a diff erent story on Sunday as a third-round eff ort of 72.49m from Dry won that competition.

The best of the javelin throwers was 16-year-old George Davies, who threw 68.46m with the junior implelement.

The discus was billed as a feature competition and attracted 65m plus men Estonian Mart Israel and Austria’s Gerhard Mayer. It was Israel who came out on top on Saturday with 60.62m and Mayer on Sunday with 59.20m. The winds were not strong enough as both were disappointed with their distances.

The favourable winds which helped the sprinters failed, however, to impress the triple jumpers on the fi rst day with Victoria Ohuruogu (177): beat Sabrina Bakare and Amy Allcock (67) in the 400m

no women over 13 metres or men over 16 metres, but it was a different story on the Sunday, where the winds were slightly against.

After a 16.16m opener, Nathan Fox bounded out to 16.69m in the second round, immediately followed by Nathan Douglas’s 16.43m. It stayed that way until the final series of jumps, when Douglas popped in a big one. The crowd applauded but it fell just short of Fox at 16.65m.

Third-placed Kola Adedoyin was out to 16.19m in the fourth round before suffering a nasty injury to his knee on his next jump before being carried off on a stretcher.

The wind was the same in the women’s event where 2006 Commonwealth Games netball bronze medallist Chioma Matthews set herself up for another England call-up four years after taking up athletics with victory in 13.40m.

Isobel Pooley matched the stadium record and her PB of

1.91m when taking the high jump here for the third year in a row, failing at a European Championships qualifying height of 1.93m.

There were a couple of good women’s 100m hurdles races. In the first, Jahisha Thomas set a PB of 13.80. The second saw Serita Soloman win against a wind in 13.57. “I had a bad start and then I hit Gemma (Bennett) and had to make up for it,” said

the Blackheath & Bromley hurdler, who improved to 13.34 in the second series of races against her PB of 13.09.

After missing last year with injury, Goldie Sayers returned two weeks earlier in Loughborough. After three 58m throws, she went to 59.34m in the fourth round. “I was a bit more consistent but I am still rusty and I need to do some more technical work,” she said.

Bedford organiser Carol Jackson will have been pleased to put on a top-class men’s high jump competition won by Italian European Championships representative Marco Fassinotti, who equalled his outdoor PB off a four-stride approach with 2.28 metres.

Tom Parsons and Alan Smith tied on 2.25m. Parsons said: “I have two ‘A’ standards (2.27m) already and am confident of (England) selection for the Commonwealth Games.”

The meeting finished with a top-class men’s 400m race which featured two members of the previous week’s British 4x400m team in Nassau going head to head. Nigel Levine just beat Dan Awde in 46.07 but in a weird twist to the proceedings the athlete of the day awards were presented before their race. As it was, Talbot took the track and Dry the field awards.

In the wheelchair races, Hannah Cockcroft set a T34 world 1500m record of 3:53.57.

RESULTS


Bedford International Games, Bedford, May 31-June 1 For more action, go to athleticsweekly.com


WHILE the thoughts of most of the top athletes were on the Commonwealth Games

immediately ahead of the deadline for qualifying marks, it was an athlete who is set to be heading elsewhere that produced one the top performances.

David Omoregie, who wants to be selected for the World Junior Championships instead, was 0.31 under his PB to win the 110m hurdles in 13.61.

The joint world No.1 under-20 over the lower hurdles with 13.23 from earlier this year, gained a second B standard for Glasgow and closed in on the 13.44 that was Colin Jackson’s best as a junior over the senior hurdles.

UK discus champion Brett Morse, as expected, secured his automatic nomination for the Commonwealth team. Athletes gained a nomination by winning if they had the one ‘A’ standard or two ‘B’ standards, while others will have to wait and see if they

are on the team announced next Tuesday. It is of course up to Commonwealth Games Wales to then confirm the team as spaces are limited. Morse threw a season’s best 61.67m.

Also in the throws Lee Doran cemented his place in the team for Glasgow as he went to the top

of the UK javelin rankings with 76.61m, taking just one throw.

Rhys Williams is another set for to Glasgow as he sealed his third ‘B’ standard of the year with a season’s best 50.00. The Delhi 2010 bronze medallist is expected to be joined on the team by Commonwealth champion Dai Greene.

Although she was only second, Sally Peake’s position as first Welsh athlete behind Northern Ireland’s Zoe Brown in the pole vault was enough for her for nomination. She went over 4.15m – 17 centimetres less than Brown.

Carys Parry, who won Commonwealth silver in 2010, is on course for Glasgow after her win in the hammer with 64.37m.

Ben Gregory, who has the Commonwealth qualifier in the decathlon, denied Paul Walker an automatic in the pole vault as he beat him into second, both achieving 5.00m.

The same fate befell Gareth

Warburton as the Delhi fourth-placer was beaten by Joseph Maynard by 0.18. Maynard does not have a ‘B’ standard and was well outside here in 1:49.62. British international Joe Thomas was third with 1:50.42, but does have the standards.

Jonathan Edwards, a hammer thrower who only considered trying to compete for Wales earlier this year, secured his nomination with a two-metre PB of 66.28m. Second and third-placed Osian Jones and Matthew Richards also have two ‘B’ standards. In fourth, Jac Palmer set a Welsh under-20 record of 58.54m.

RESULTS

Edwards, who grew up in Cambridgeshire, said: “It was my sister who suggested to me last year that I examine my Welsh credentials because I was born in Caerphilly. My family moved on before I turned one, but when we asked if I was eligible I got a positive answer.”

Ryan Spencer is another who looks to have sealed his place as he won the shot with 17.71m.

Christian Malcolm’s career hangs in the balance after he failed to gain the Glasgow standard.

The former world 200m fi nalist, who won the world junior

100m and 200m titles in 1998, clocked just 21.96 to fi nish third in his heat and failed to progress. Having clocked a wind-assisted 22.17 last month in his fi rst competition since September 2012 because of injury, he was well outside the 20.85 required.

Malcolm, who turned 35 on Tuesday, had pinpointed Glasgow as his swansong.

Another sprinter frustrated was Rachel Johncock, who took 0.06 off her PB to win the 100m, but the 11.45 was her fi rst ‘B’ standard.

Hannah Brier, who was second in the 100m, ran a ‘B’ standard with 23.54 in her heat but with an illegal wind and was then just

outside it with a PB 23.63 to take the fi nal.

Sian Edwards won the 5000m with 16:45.35 – her fastest time since 2006, the year in which she was 10th in the junior race at the World Cross Country Championships.

Also making something of a comeback was Matt Elias, the 35-year-old former European U23 400m hurdles champion.

Having not raced since 2010, he promised last summer that he would race over 400m again if he reached 1000 followers on Twitter. Sticking to his word despite Achilles problems, he ran 49.57 in the 400m flat heat and scratched from the fi nal.

Jade Williams: 2:06.36 in the 800m

Tesni Ward: 44.98m to win the javelin

ACTION Hypo Meeting, Gotzis, Austria, May 31-June 1

IF Katarina Johnson-Thompson was ranked No.28 in a list of the most “marketable athletes” in the world then her standing

can only have risen further after victory in the famous Hypo Meeting in Gotzis.

The 21-year-old came of age in the Austrian town last weekend with a powerhouse performance that took her to No.3 on the UK all-time rankings behind Jess Ennis-Hill and Denise Lewis and would have been good enough to win the world title in Moscow last year.

With a world-leading 6682 points Johnson-Thompson smashed her PB to win the competition in style as fellow Brit Morgan Lake, who has only just turned 17, also performed superbly to finish 17th overall.

The outing in Austria was Johnson-Thompson’s first full heptathlon since finishing fifth at last year’s IAAF World Championships in Moscow, where the European under-23 champion set her previous best of 6449 points.

Behind Johnson-Thompson, the world silver medallist Brianne Theisen-Eaton set a Canadian record of 6641 points, as world bronze medallist Dafne Schippers set a Dutch record 6545 points for third.

“It will be me against Brianne again in Glasgow, so this is just round one,” Johnson-Thompson told the Telegraph. “I’m sure we’ll both go away and work on our weaknesses but it looks like the Commonwealth Games is in for a very good competition.”

She added: “It’s the 40th anniversary of the event and they showed us a slide show on Friday night with all the greats who have won here, so I can’t believe I’ve won it in my first year.”

“It was a good weekend for me but I’m disappointed that I didn’t win,” Theisen-Eaton, wife of Olympic champion and world record-holder Ashton Eaton, told the IAAF. “I’m pleased with my long jump and the 200m. Katarina is a very talented athlete and I’m looking forward to competing against her at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. It will be an exciting competition.”

Johnson-Thompson, who set a British high jump record with 1.96m indoors in February before claiming world indoor long jump silver with a PB of 6.81m in March, kicked off proceedings with 13.47 in the 100m hurdles, a time just 0.03 off her PB and her best ever in a heptathlon.

She went on to clear 1.90m in the high jump, throw 12.17m

in the shot, sprint 22.89 in the 200m, leap 6.70m in the long jump and throw 41.44m in the javelin before her 2:08.16 clocking in the 800m secured her victory.

Her marks in the high jump and her weakest event the shot were also the best she has ever recorded as part of a full heptathlon and her 22.89 200m was the fi rst time she had ever gone under 23 seconds and puts her at 19th on the UK all-time list for the individual event – which means she is quicker than athletes such as Jeanette Kwakye and Donna Fraser.

Johnson-Thompson fi nished day one in second place, 15 points behind Theisen-Eaton. The Briton’s 6.70m in the long jump is the furthest she’s ever legally leapt outdoors, while her performance in the javelin was an outright PB.

Johnson-Thompson dropped to third after six events with 5690 points behind Belgium’s European junior champion Nafi ssatou Thiam’s 5725 points and Theisen-Eaton’s 5695, but she was the best 800m runner of them all.

“Some rusty performances today, but got to be happy with four heptathlon PBs in each event and an outright PB of 22.89 in the 200m,” Johnson-Thompson tweeted after the fi rst day of competition.

On Sunday, she added: “Can’t believe the weekend, a win in Gotzis and a massive PB of 6682! #happygirl.”

Lake recently smashed Johnson-Thompson’s British youth heptathlon best with 5896 points at the age of 16 to become the youngest ever winner of the Multistars event in Florence.

Then, following her fi rst ever senior heptathlon, she went on to break the UK junior high jump record with a clearance of 1.93m in Loughborough – jumping on to the cover of AW in the process.

She continued to impress in Austria, breaking the 6000 points barrier for the fi rst time to fi nish 17th with 6081 to equal the European youth best and go second in the world junior list for 2014. Her results included big

PBs in the shot (14.85m), 200m (24.59) and javelin (39.74m).

In the decathlon, two-time world champion Trey Hardee returned to winning ways to set a world-leading 8518 points for victory. It was the American’s fi rst decathlon since claiming Olympic silver in London, having struggled with injury in 2013. He beat Germany’s Kai Kazmirek by 47 points.

“I’m disappointed about the weekend. I escaped with the win after two tough days but I underperformed. My performances were below my expectations. My goal this year is to be the world No.1. I’m planning to compete at the US Championships,” he said.

Behind them, Britain’s Ashley Bryant scored 8141 points to go third on the British all-time list behind Daley Thompson and Dean Macey, while British indoor heptathlon record-holder John Lane scored 7846 points for 12th.

Lane later tweeted: “Sprained ankle, pulled calf, face red as a

tomato … But loved every second of this weekend! Very happy to somehow fi nish the decathlon.”

After the fi rst three legs of this year’s IAAF Combined Events Challenge, Britons lead the standings in both disciplines – Bryant leads the decathlon rankings with 15,943 (7802 in Florence and 8141 in Gotzis) while Lake leads the heptathlon listings with 11,977 (5896 in Florence and 6081 in Gotzis).

ACTION BMC Grand Prix, Sport City, Manchester, May 31

IT IS going to be a week of contrasting emotions for potential team-mates Lynsey Sharp and Jake Wightman.European champion Sharp

should feel pretty relaxed ahead of the announcement of the Scotland team for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow when it is selected next Monday, a week after the England and Wales squads are picked.

A season’s best of 2:01.68 to win the 800m A race in Manchester gave further evidence of Sharp’s return to form after an injury-ravaged 2013 and on her current upwards course the 23-year-old will be one of Scotland’s best hopes of a medal on the track.

Sharp, who is now fourth on the UK rankings and fastest Scot outdoors, certainly shouldn’t suffer any sleepless nights ahead of her next 800m race at the Fanny Blankers-Koen Games in Hengelo on Saturday.

And after the torment of her post-Olympic Games problems she is just delighted to be embracing the pain of racing again.

“I probably kicked too early and I really felt it in the last 50 metres –

that was tough,” said Sharp.“I have been trying out different

things in races so today it was great to go through 400m in 58 seconds,

although that was faster than when I ran my PB and I was thinking ‘Oh my God, what’s going to happen now?’

“I have really missed that lactic headache and the burn in my chest and legs! It is horrible but I missed it when I was injured and not racing so now I am just so glad to be back racing again.

“When you are racing well and training hard you don’t appreciate how good it is so now I don’t take anything for granted.”

Maybe not but she could be forgiven for thinking that her ticket to Glasgow is already in the post.

In contrast 19-year-old Wightman faces a week of uncertainty and wondering if he has done enough to make the team for the 1500m.

A year ago the Edinburgh

AC runner and Loughborough University student was focused solely on qualifying for the European Junior Championships, which he subsequently won but such has been his progress he has a fighting chance of making his first senior squad.

His fearless attitude to racing saw him win the 1500m A race in a PB of 3:41.40, taking the lead when pacemaker James Brewer dropped out at 900m and surging clear of Niall Brooks on the final lap.

It was his second PB in 11 days and the second time he had run inside the Scotland qualifying mark of 3:42.2. More importantly it puts him third in the Scotland rankings behind Chris O’Hare and David Bishop, just ahead of Mark Mitchell who posted a PB of 3:41.95 that same evening in Belgium.

“I think I have done everything I could and hopefully it will be enough to make the team, but I am not sure,” said Wightman.

“I would have liked to have run quicker tonight and was really hoping Ross Murray was going to be here because I think we would have helped each other on that last lap.

“As it was that lap was really hard but it is another PB and to be honest I couldn’t have done any

more tonight. I have done nine races this season already, which is more than I expected, but it took longer to get the qualifying times so I will be having an easy week now. I won’t be racing again in the fi nal week before the deadline because I think I could damage my case.

“It would be great to go to the Commonwealth Games and I hope Scotland take a full team and that includes three 1500m runners, but it is in the hands of the selectors now so we will have to wait and see.”

O’Hare should lead the Scotland 1500m challenge in Glasgow and will be hoping his run in the 800m at Sport City was just a blip. After leading in the back straight the World Championships 1500m

fi nalist surprisingly fell away in the closing 200m to fi nish last in 1:51.47 – more than three seconds behind winner Robert Needham (1:48.19).

But O’Hare, who looked impressive in winning the Bupa Westminster Mile on the road the previous weekend, wasn’t unduly perturbed.

“I have not run a really competitive 800m for six years,” said O’Hare. “When I was at Tulsa for most of my 800m races I sat back in the fi rst 400m and then worked hard in the second lap whereas today was the complete opposite.

“I really started to tie up in the last 200m as the other guys came

barrelling by me and it was really hard to keep my composure. To be honest I try and avoid 800m races as I hate them.

“I need to have my ass kicked every now and again to remind me that I am not invincible! I am looking at the bigger picture of being in top shape for Glasgow and Zurich.”

Needham’s previous best performance in a BMC Grand Prix had been to fi nish third in the C race at Oxford last season. This was his fi rst start in the A race and the 20-year-old took his opportunity with relish as he broke 1:49 for the fi rst time with a personal best of 1:48.19.

The women’s 1500m was a

rematch of the Charlene Thomas versus Melissa Courtney clash at Watford two weeks previously.

The pair fought another epic duel with neither giving an inch in a superb last lap in which it seemed as if 20-year-old Courtney would get her revenge as she drew level in the fi nal 50 metres.

But using a dip worthy of a sprinter, Thomas got the verdict with 4:11.38 to 4:11.41, the latter a big PB for Courtney and the former a season’s best for Thomas.

“I am chipping away at the time and tonight was better but it doesn’t seem to be getting any easier,” said Thomas, still seeking the form of 2013.

For the much-improved Courtney it was her second PB of the season but left her with mixed feelings.

“I am really pleased with that race and only slightly disappointed that I fi nished just 0.41 seconds off

the Wales ‘B’ qualifying standard,” she said.

“Charlene is a runner I looked up to when I was a young athlete so it is really nice to race her and to hear her saying some nice things about me as well. That is very encouraging for me.”

While for much of the evening it was the young runners who took the attention – Amy Griffiths, Bobby Clay (both 1500m) and Katie Ingle (3000m steeplechase) all achieved World Junior Championships qualifying and both Shaun Wyllie (1500m) and Molly Long (800m) had near misses, the meeting ended with affirmation that age and experience are no barriers to success either just in case Jo Pavey wasn’t ample enough proof.

To the background of fireworks and music from One Direction performing live next door at the Etihad Stadium, Helen Clitheroe fairy-danced her way around the 5000m for victory in 15:24.40, which earned her a £500 bonus from the BMC and may yet see her make her fifth appearance in a Commonwealth Games. The time was also inside the European Championships qualifying

standard of 15:30.00.“I am reminded on a daily basis

by other people of how old I am but it is not something I think about myself,” said Clitheroe, whose time is 13 seconds outside the UK over-40 record set by Pavey at the first Grand Prix in Watford last month.

“Jo and I often text each other saying we 40-year-olds are showing the others how to run. I am sure she will be laughing when she sees my result tonight! It would be great if we both made the team. Jo is also an inspiration even to myself.”

A day in the life of ...athleticsweekly.com Spotlight

“I do keep very active and I do a lot of skiing and snowboarding”

No day is the same

FORMER world record holder for the 110m hurdles and three-time world champion Colin Jackson might have

hung up his spikes 11 years ago, but the Welshman still leads a busy and exciting lifestyle.

After retiring from athletics, Jackson has been a coach, he was one of the members of the London 2012 bid team and is a key member of the BBC’s athletics coverage, having started his broadcasting career in 2004 by co-hosting the BBC reality TV programme Born to Win with fellow world record-breaking hurdler Sally Gunnell.

In addition, he impressed the public with his dancing skills on television when placing second on Strictly Come Dancing in 2005. Also, having fi rst received an MBE in 1990 for his services

to athletics, the man known for his amazing dip on the fi nish line was promoted to OBE in 1999 and then in 2003 to a CBE.

He tells Athletics Weekly about a day in his life …

FOR ME there is no such thing as a regular day because the very varied nature of my work and life means that I travel a great deal.

I’m always up and going at 6am. I don’t need a lot of sleep, as my friends know when they see what time I’ve sent them emails. The fi rst thing I do when I get up is make coff ee. That is the most important thing! I have an amazing Jura coff ee machine which makes just about whatever type I’m in the mood for.

In the morning I’m not fussy about what I eat and I have no specifi c dietary routine. I just eat whatever is around. It could be a fried breakfast, just a yoghurt or sometimes nothing. It depends what’s available. I have a lot more freedom compared with

when I ran. I had regular hours in those days so it was always just a coff ee and yoghurt.

I may not do the physical exercise that I did as an athlete, but I need to concentrate more, so I try and fuel up. Back in the day, I only needed to focus on training.

I don’t really have a specifi c fi tness programme now, but because I have a busy workload I feel better and more productive when I feel fi t. I do keep very

active and I do a lot of skiing and snowboarding. I have some training companions, including Jamie Baulch, as I need to be pushed when I am in the gym or on the bike.

Every day is diff erent as I have many diff erent jobs and roles. Since they all have their own targets and timings, my routine changes signifi cantly according to the event. However, I am always very organised and I’m constantly planning ahead. I probably make close to 100 flights a year so have to be on top of my diary, clothes, visas and packing.

I love the freedom that comes with what I do. I enjoy the sidelines, the travel, the people that I meet, and the excitement of my life. Every single day is diff erent.

Today, for example, I went from Paris to London for a meeting to discuss the launch of ‘Go Dad Run’, the series of 5km runs that I created in Cardiff , Birmingham and London, which will raise money for Prostate Cancer UK on Father’s Day weekend in June.

I spoke with the producer of ‘An Evening with Colin Jackson

and Jonathan Edwards’, as we will make our theatre debut on November 11 and then flew to India for another meeting!

When I actually have an evening at home I love cooking, but I don’t really have a favourite dish. I cook whatever people ask for. I can do anything from basic soup, through to stir fry – good, quick and easy – to a roast.

Cooking is the one creative thing that I’m quite good at, so I like to create a dish. If I’m home, I cook every day.

I challenge myself in the kitchen to make something flavoursome with whatever is there.

I do many diff erent things but I’m really enjoying being actively involved in ‘Go Dad Run’, as they are key to getting the message across about Prostrate Cancer and getting men to look after themselves and get checked out.

This isn’t just about raising funds. We need to change the language so that men are comfortable talking about their health issues.

Winning team: Jackson and Jonathan Edwards are holding a theatre event this year

Media pundit: Colin Jackson is perhaps

best known for his work on television

Women’s shot put and discusTHE inaugural women’s championships in Vienna in 1938 were dominated by Germany and they took fi ve of the six medals in the shot and discus. Hermine Schroder beat Gisela Mauermayer in the shot by 2cm but the latter won the discus, in which she was Olympic champion, by four metres.

In Germany’s absence in 1946, the Soviets dominated and Tatyana Sevryukova won the shot by over a metre and future discus world record-holder Nina Dumbadze won by four metres.

Brussels in 1950 was also Soviet dominated with Dumbadze easily defending and Anna Andreyeva defeating world record-holder Klavdiya Tochenova in the shot. Berne in 1954 saw more Soviet success as they took all six medals with Galina Zybina and Nina Ponomaryova clear champions.

In 1958, Germany’s Marianne Werner achieved the fi rst non-Soviet win for 30 years in the shot in Stockholm but bronze medallist Tamara Press achieved the fi rst 50m plus throw in the discus but only won by 22cm.

In 1962 in Belgrade, Press added a ridiculously suspicious three metres to the shot championship best with a world record-equalling 18.55m and she added four metres to her discus championship best.

Budapest in 1966 saw the Soviets retain the shot through Nadezhda Chizhova. She won the next three titles too, improving three metres in 1969 to set a world record 20.43m and again to 20.78m in 1974. 1968 Olympic champion Margitta Gummel was her nearest rival, taking silvers in the fi rst two championships, and bronze in the third.

In 1966, the GDR won the discus

with Christine Spielberg’s 57.76m. The three medallists bettered that in 1969 with Soviet Tamara Danilova snatching gold from Olympic champion and compatriot Lyudmila Muravyeva with her last throw after being sixth after four rounds. They retained their title in Helsinki in 1971, again on the last throw as Faina Melnik set a world record 64.22 to deny the previous record-holder Liesel Westermann.

Melnik improved in Helsinki with a near world record 69.00m to win by four metres.

Prague in 1978 saw East German success as Ilona Slupianek took over from Chizhova with a 21.41m championship best and Melnik was only fi fth as world record-holder Evelin Jahl won by three metres.

In 1982 in Athens, Slupianek improved to win with 21.59m but the discus saw a Bulgarian one-two with 20-year-old Tsvetanka Khristova narrowly defeating world record-holder Maria Petkova.

East Germany won both golds in Stuttgart in 1986 with Heidi Krieger fi rst in the shot and Diana Sachse bringing the record to over 70 metres for the fi rst time in the discus with Khristova in second putting up a good defence and even setting an earlier 69.52m championship best.

The distances were down in Split in 1990, but again it was East Germany in command through Astrid Kumbernuss and Ilke Wyludda.

The standard dropped further in the shot in Helsinki in 1994 with Ukrainian Vita Pavlysh achieving the worst winning throw for 32 years and Wyludda defended in the discus.

In 1998 in Budapest, Pavlysh was a seemingly diff erent athlete and threw a huge 21.69m, the best by a woman for 10 years, and she had the best six throws of the competition and won by two metres. In the discus, the lead changed twice in the last round with Franka Dietzsch snatching victory. Greece surprisingly won two of the three discus medals in Munich in 2002 with Katerina Vogoli winning a close but modest-quality competition.

Pavlysh settled for silver in the shot behind Irina Korzhanenko. The standard nose-dived again in Gothenburg in 2006 as Natallia Khoroneko won from her Belarus team-mate Nadezhda Ostapchuk by a centimetre with a mere 19.43m. Russian Darya Pishchalnikova won gold in the discus from 1998 champion Dietzsch.

Drugs cheat Ostapchuk won in Barcelona in 2010 as Belarus gained another 1-2. Croatia won the discus through Sandra Perkovic and she retained her title in Helsinki in 2012. Nadine Kleinert’s 19.16m was the poorest winning throw for 46 years.

Women’s shot put and discusTHE Commonwealth Games aren’t renowned for innovation and the fi rst shot and discus was held in Vancouver in 1954, 16 years after the European Championships introduced it.

New Zealand’s Yvette Williams was a class apart and she won the shot by a metre and the discus by fi ve on a day she also won the long jump!

England’s Suzanne Allday was second and then won the 1958 event in Cardiff to fi ght off strong New Zealand competition and the bronze medallist Valerie Sloper won the shot by a metre with 15.54m with Allday second.

Sloper became Young for the 1962 event in Perth and retained the shot title and added four metres to the discus Games record

with 50.20m. Allday won bronze in the shot, one place up on Northern Ireland’s Mary Peters, who threw 13.31m.

In Kingston in 1966, Peters had improved three metres but had to settle for second behind Young’s 16.50m which gave her a third successive gold.

Young also won a second successive discus gold as she narrowly won from Australia’s Jean Roberts who had been second in the shot in 1962.

Fourth in the discus was Rosemary Payne and, four years later in Edinburgh, the Scot threw almost seven metres further to win in a record 54.46m, with Roberts again second but three metres back.

The shot was closer and Peters won by 6cm from New Zealand’s Barbara Poulssen with Roberts third.

Four years later in Christchurch, Canada’s Jean Haist pulled off double gold. In the shot, she saw off Young, who won her seventh Commonwealth medal on her comeback. She beat Roberts into third as Peters was fourth.

Haist threw a record 55.52m in the discus with Payne putting up a good defence with 53.94m and Roberts missing a medal by 4cm.

In Edmonton in 1978, there was a huge improvement in the Games discus record as Canadian Carmen Ionesco threw 62.16m. Australian

Gael Mulhall took silver and the next day Mulhall set a Games record in the shot with 17.31m to comfortably defeat the Canadian.

Judy Oakes won bronze for England and four years later in Brisbane she upped the record to 17.92m to defeat Mulhall. Mulhall was also second in the discus but was well beaten by Meg Ritchie, who improved the record to 62.98m to give Scotland gold.

In Edinburgh in 1986, the previously drugs-suspended Mulhall, now Martin, regained the title off Oakes by 25cm with a record 19.00m throw and Myrtle Augee won a second English medal.

Martin also won the discus but was given a fi ght by Venissa Head of Wales.

Auckland in 1990 saw Augee surprise Oakes to win the shot by 5cm as England swept the medals. Lisa Marie Vizaniari kept the discus in Australian hands with Jackie McKernan winning Northern Ireland’s only medal in the event. Fifth placer Janette Picton, meanwhile, later became a 2:51 marathoner.

Oakes was back on top in Victoria in 1994 with Augee second and Vizaniari third. The latter was only sixth in the discus as Australia’s Daniela Costian upped the record to a classy 63.72m with New Zealand’s Beatrice Faumuina a distant second.

The Kiwi though was a diff erent class in Kuala Lumpur in 1998 and won with a huge 65.92m with Vizaniari back on form in second.

In the shot in 1998, the 40 year-old Oakes won again from Augee with a classy 18.83m. In Manchester in 2002, Nigeria’s Vivian Chukwuemeka won by 8cm from world junior champion Valerie Adams. New Zealand did win the discus, though, as Faumuina comfortably retained her title.

The 2006 event at Melbourne saw South Africa gain their fi rst title in the event as Elizna Naude won with 61.55m. In the shot, Adams, who was now called Vili, easily reversed positions with the Nigerian and set a Games record 19.66m.

She won again in 2010 in Delhi, improving the record to 20.47m.

In the discus, Krishna Poonia, who was fi fth in Melbourne, led an Indian clean sweep.

WILL COCKERELL ENJOYS A PREVIEW OF TOM RATCLIFFE’S DOCUMENTARY OF THE SUB-FOUR-MINUTE MILE

THIS new documentary by Boston fi lm-makers Tom Ratcliff e and Jeremy Mosher will stand the test of time. The

cast of characters is a remarkable who’s who of running greats, including an ailing but still superb Chris Chataway.

The fi lm explores the psyches behind a starving and shivering post-war Britain, and how a declining empire craved a hero. There is much historic footage of the Blitz and Bannister speaks movingly of his war-time reminiscences (he was 10 when it began).

There are several threads as to how and why Bannister arrived at May 6, 1954, but one of them is Hillary’s conquest of Everest, which inspired Sir Roger in his own quest. The fi lm suggests the answer to whose achievement is the hardest. What the last 60 years have shown is that three times as many people have scaled Everest than gone sub-four for the mile, and mostly anyone in reasonable nick can do the former now, bank balance dependent. But the sub-four remains strictly the preserve of the elite.

Sir Roger’s running career is covered in depth. His progress was workmanlike rather than spectacular, but that didn’t stop the British press heaping untold pressure on him for the Helsinki Olympics, where in a thrilling fi nal

he placed fourth. At a crossroads and dejected, Bannister had to decide whether to retire or set himself one fi nal challenge. He mercifully chose the latter, and with Wes Santee and John Landy going close to sub-four multiple times, the fi lm ratchets up the tension.

Two outstanding highlights both concern Bannister. The footage of him preparing to train, and then training, perfectly captures his matinée idol looks, gravitas and charisma, in a way that the written word never could. The audience instantly feels: this is a leader. Training alone, at world-class level is an unforgiving and lonesome business, and the clips of Bannister thrashing round the track in his brief lunch breaks lend priceless insight to what it takes to succeed in sport.

Although, as in Titanic, we know what’s coming, the climax is still laden with suspense. Once we arrive at race day the fi ne BBC footage never fails to involve, and there are telling contributions from all, including a student in the crowd, Geoff rey Weston, who speaks for all about the creeping realisation at one lap: “That’s a bit quick!”, and then half-way, that this was on. Bannister downplays his suff ering and his famous quote about springing clear of the engulfi ng chasm is replaced by the more demure: “I gradually felt fatigue rising in my legs”, but the pictures tell the real story.

A key job for Ratcliff e was to ensure that the word “three” is delivered like a sledgehammer to his audience. The job is perfectly skewered, not by the narrator, or Weston, but Bannister himself.

With the fi lm’s fi ne score by Raj Kamahl rising to a crescendo, Bannister leans into the camera and bellows, “Three!” with the verve of someone half his age.

For such a modest man, who went on to even greater things in medicine, it is clear how much it still means to him to this day, perhaps more than ever. And for that alone, the fi lm succeeds in its task.

AW will publish the fi lm’s release date in due course

Everest on the track

Trail and Mountain RunningDISTANCE running on the trails and in the hills has reached new heights of popularity in recent years and this book takes a comprehensive look at the area.

Written by Sarah Rowell, an Olympic marathoner with a PB of 2:28:06, and Wendy Dodds, a doctor and veteran fell runner, it also features contributions from runners Jonathan Wyett, Jez Bragg and Ian Holmes – who

share their training ideas – plus input from Dr Steve Ingham and Alison Rose.

Divided into three sections, it covers training ideas, racing skills and advanced techniques on how to optimise your performance.

The book has been endorsed by Olympic triathlon champion Alistair Brownlee, too, who says: “I might be a triathlete but off -road running is my passion. No feeling compares to floating through woods or over moorland, wet or

dry. The majority of my running is off -road, not only because it is more interesting but because it is crucial for injury prevention.

“Trail and Mountain Running provides great advice for all levels of runners who want to both enjoy running off road as well as get better at it.”

Trail and Mountain Running by Sarah Rowell and Wendy Dodds is published by The Crowood Press and costs £14.99

Lifelong runnersI AGREE with Jenny Chambers’ comments last week about being a lifelong runner, not jogger.

I took up running 30 years ago and although my best running days are over, I love doing my weekly parkrun and try each week to improve. I have never seen so many runners on the streets as I have done over the last couple of years or so and I think parkrun has helped to break down any barriers and encouraged more” joggers” into the sport.

Can I also ask why you have ceased to print the parkrun results in the magazine? I found them to be very interesting!Graham Havercroft, Hedon, near Hull Parkrun organisers decided earlier this year not to share their results with AW and this is why they are no longer featured in our Results section – Editor

Conversational paceMAY I bring a diff erent perspective to the running/jogging debate? My defi nition is simple – joggers can carry out a conversation with fellow joggers as they run, but runners cannot!

Now in my mid-70s, to the outside world I may look like a jogger but I do not have enough breath to talk! Hence I know I am still a runner, which brings comfort to my increasing old age!Ted Grey, Newark

Runners or joggers?THREE generations of my family compete with each other about who can appear in your results pages each week, does this make us runners or joggers? Richard Pitcairn-Knowles, Sevenoaks AC

Record queryI HAVE one question for UKA’s technical advisory group, who by all accounts are a distinguished and credible body. Had Greg Rutherford jumped the same distance at a meeting in the UK with equivalent circumstances regarding offi ciating, would his “record” have been ratifi ed given that UKA rule 141 (3)(k) states that to be ratifi ed “the appropriate rules of UKA and/or the IAAF have been strictly observed”. The Group’s decision only mentions US rules as one relevant factor.

From the video there are several areas required under UKA rules where some doubt over validity arises, the most obvious being in respect of the specifi cations of any “rigid board of plasticine of other material for recording the athlete’s footprint in the case of a foot fault” – where US rules apparently don’t require this and where it seems there was only level sand.

Congratulations to Greg on his record being ratifi ed. Clearly he is the UK’s No.1 long jumper, let alone Olympic champion but the sooner he jumps 8.51m or more under genuine conditions the better as concerns will run and run.Tony Benton, Upminster, Essex

Rutherford respectI MUST express my dismay at some of the correspondence about Greg Rutherford’s 8.51m long jump.

My fi rst concern is over anyone’s right to question the legitimacy of the performance. It was in an IAAF-sanctioned competition and that fact should be taken in good faith. One cannot start reviewing performances because they don’t look quite right on some grainy videos.

If we are going to review every record performance because it

LETTER OF THE WEEK

THE initial decision by the organisers of the Edinburgh Marathon not to publish a full results list was baffl ing.

Having completed the race in a respectable time just behind the better club runners and just outside the places in my age category, I was eager to compare my performance against friends

and rivals on Power of Ten.I suggest that event

management teams clarify their position when advertising their races as I would not be keen to enter an event where times and overall position are secondary to the jamboree.Jonathan Ratcliff e, Herne Hill Harriers

Letters athleticsweekly.com

EVERY WEEK, THE STAR LETTER WILL WIN AN AW BOOKAZINE

does not look right, where do we stop? It might for example be timely to review Bannister’s four-minute mile because it is clear that the timekeepers were not correctly positioned.

The second concern is over Chris Tomlinson’s comments. Both Chris and Greg are great for the sport – they are world-class athletes, very good role models and genuinely nice guys. Yet retrospectively it might be suggested that Tomlinson has not covered himself in glory.

The third concern I have is over the concept of respect. Rutherford is the Olympic champion, but there are times where he seems to be treated as a gate-crasher to the Mo Farah and Jess Ennis-Hill party. When an Olympic champion delivers a world-class performance, he has earned the right for that performance to be taken seriously – and I consider Greg deserves a lot more respect than he has been given.Ian Roberts, Bedford

Hawk-Eye in 2012THE Dip Finish column in last week’s magazine reported that “Hawk-Eye technology was used at a major athletics event for the fi rst time at the IAAF World Relays in the Bahamas”.

This overlooks the fact that Hawk-Eye was used extensively at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. For the athletics programme, Hawk-Eye staff , led by Lauren Reader,

provided invaluable technical support for the use of Hawk-Eye software by a video room team led by Maureen Bullen, a senior British Athletics offi cial. Under Maureen, a team of offi cials and volunteers (some of them also qualifi ed offi cials) constantly monitored the progress of all athletics events at both the Olympic and Paralympic Games.

This meant that incidents likely to lead to protests or appeals could be ‘bookmarked’ for easy access by referees and others involved in the appeal process. The technology was of great help in resolving a number of signifi cant incidents, including those aff ecting medal places in, for example, the women’s heptathlon and hammer. There was even more call on the video room during the Paralympics, when the jury dealt with 18 formal appeals and there were more than 80 protests in all.

While the use of Hawk-Eye will presumably now be on a diff erent contractual basis, there should be an awareness that LOCOG’s decision to use this technology at London 2012 (in many other sports as well as athletics) was one of many that helped make these Games so successful.Alan Vincent, competition secretary, Olympic and Paralympic Games, 2012 The World Relays was the fi rst time Hawk-Eye has been used at a major IAAF event but we over-looked London 2012 in our story last week – Editor

Stretching a pointMOST athletes stretch either before, during or after a session with some doing their routines passively while others will be seen sticking to a dynamic regime and some of course will do both!However, not all muscles are made tight by training on the track, roads or gyms – many are the cause of postural

incongruities and these undoubtedly aff ect your ability to run naturally. Jenny Blizard picks out one such area, the adductors, and explains

how to maintain them.Nutrition is always a

contentious topic with the pendulum continually swinging one way, then the other in favour of what is good and what isn’t. Nevertheless, many athletes are convinced their diet is the best one and nutritional therapist, David Reavely says many are in for a shock.

The cheapest and probably most important piece of kit you’ll buy is the humble sock – we have 10 of the best on show. Elsewhere recovery is looked at and if what you are doing is in fact benefi cial.David Lowes, Coaching editor

THE ADDUCTOR MUSCLES CAN BE A SOURCE OF PAIN AND JENNY BLIZARD LOOKS AT HOW TO MAINTAIN THEM

It all adds up!

THE articles presented so far in this series have concentrated on a set of exercises for people whose time is in short

demand. These movements will be suffi cient to improve flexibility and prevent the eff ects of sitting postures aff ecting your ability to run. However, this is provided that they are performed consistently.

We then introduced how overall flexibility could be improved by targeting the spinal and pelvic movements – key areas for problems. Our next set of articles will look at specifi c areas that I see regularly with runners in our clinical practice and I will relate these to the types of pain and movement problems that you may fi nd.

The fi rst area looked at is the adductor muscle group. This group of muscles is made up of the adductor magnus, longus and brevis along with the gracilis and pectineus. These muscles sit on the inside and back part of the thigh attaching to the thigh, knee and pelvic bone. Their chief function is to bring your leg across the mid-line as if kicking a football or sitting with your legs crossed. These muscles can be a source of excruciating pain and can often be misled into thinking you may have a groin strain, pelvic fracture or a hernia.

The pain from these muscles can radiate up into the groin and inside the pelvis as well as right down the inside of the thigh to the foot. People often complain that they think they have developed shin splints or feel like they have a golf ball “stuck in their bottom” or even that they have fractured their pelvis. Pain makes it very diffi cult to walk or run. The good news is that

these pains can be aff ected quickly – if you don’t see some change, albeit small after a session, then this is obviously not the source of your problem. It is also really important to acknowledge that if the symptoms keep returning that, while this may be the source of your pain, it’s not the cause of your pain.

Key point 1These muscles usually tighten up in response to postural muscles in other areas not working eff ectively and vice versa. This will almost defi nitely be a biomechanical fault, poor core muscular function, pelvic floor, lower back or a hip imbalance.

It’s always best to get yourself checked out as well as fi nding a top-class Pilates instructor so that you can gain other benefi ts of attending a class as well as sorting your current problem.

The nerve supply to these muscles arises from the lower back in between your lumbar vertebrae from L2 to L4, the nervous system then branches

into diff erent nerves supplying all these muscles, namely the sciatic nerve, the obturator nerve and the femoral nerve (depending on which book you read!). The point is that if your pain often moves around, then it is most likely to be related to where the nerves converge in your lower back (at the nerve roots), rather than just in the muscles themselves and it’s because of this “branching out” of the nervous system it becomes obvious when explained why your pain may move around.

Key point 2It is also my experience that when treating muscular pain, there will always be sensitivity in the lower back, upper back or neck from the nerve supply that the muscle is supplied with. You also don’t necessarily have to experience any pain in these areas at all.

To treat your adductor muscle group eff ectively and nail this area once and for all you will need a belt, a cricket ball (or spiky ball), and a foam roller. It will also need daily work.

Exercise 1: foam rollerFoam roller your adductor area (pic 1). Start with long sweeping strokes up and down the muscle group, then slow down and target a specifi c area. You will usually fi nd this half way down your thigh (adductor longus) or high up in your groin (pectineus or adductor brevis) – these may cause your symptoms to be produced and, if so, you have hit the spot. Hold for 60 to 90 seconds – the pain should increase initially, probably spread, then start to ease until you just feel pressure rather than pain at the spot. Roll back up and down in big strokes to fi nish off .

Training info on Twitter: @AW_Performance

Exercise 2: the ballSit on a hard chair, placing the ball high up your thigh just below your sit bone (pic 2). Then roll around in a small area until you hit the trigger point (if you have one) in your adductor magnus. This trigger point will refer into your groin, up into your pelvis and down your leg and it hurts! Again hold for 60 to 90 seconds.

Note: If the pain doesn’t dissipate with these two exercises then go to see a professional as you could be further irritating your problem.

Exercise 3: active isolated stretchingActive isolated stretches (AIS) are excellent for this muscle group in my clinical experience (pic 4a and 4b). They are based on the work of Aaron L. Mattes and have been used extensively by Gerrard Hartmann (hartmann-international.com) on his elite group of athletes. Traditionally, static stretches based on holds for 30 to 60 seconds are aimed at holding the muscle for long enough to cause the muscle to lengthen. However, have you ever noticed that your leg starts to tremble? This is the stretch reflex, whereby the muscle actually fi ghts the stretch and becomes a potential injury.

With AIS, the body is put into the best anatomical position both to maximise an isolated stretch and to warrant safety. Positions are held only for two to three seconds before returning to the start position to relax the muscle. Stretches are repeated eight to twelve times for optimal results. The benefi t of repetitions is to increase blood flow, oxygen, and nutrition to the muscle tissues and

thereby a warm-up in itself.AIS is unique in that it uses

the neuromuscular system via “reciprocal innervation” and “reciprocal inhibition” to maximise the stretch. In simple terms, when you do the adductor stretch, the gluteals (the prime movers) squeeze the thighs apart (reciprocal innervation), as the adductors (opposers) are relaxed (reciprocal inhibition). Therefore, the muscle you wish to stretch, the adductor, is relaxed and muscles stretch best when they are relaxed. By utilising the prime mover, or opposing muscle group, you invoke the neuromuscular pathway to assist the stretch.

The best bit is that you see excellent results instantly – the downside is that they take time as the stretch has to be very specifi c and isolated to the muscle or muscle group in question. My advice is to only use these for the stubborn, troublesome areas if you are short of time, but use the exercises predominantly in the “Stretched for Time” article for a general stretching programme (AW, February 20).

Exercise AAdductor Longus (pic 3). Lie on your back with the bottom of your feet touching each other, Squeeze your gluteal muscles together for two seconds strongly, at the same time feeling that your thighs are opening further and you can feel a stretch down the inside.

Exercise BAdductor Magnus (pic 4a and 4b). This is a huge muscle attaching to your thigh bone (femur) all the way down the inside and also attaching to the pubic bone. As well as adducting the hip (bringing it across the body), it acts as a rotator of the hip. This muscle can become very tight if it is trying to stabilise the hip and actually then prevents the hip from flexing and rotating effi ciently during running. It can also become tight if the sciatic nerve becomes irritated because this is part of its nerve supply.

Now this is where this exercise becomes a challenge but is very eff ective. We want to do a sliding exercise to settle the sensitivity

in the nervous system (see “Stretched for Time” article for a fuller explanation) as well as do an AIS stretch to the muscle. In addition the muscle fi bres run down the leg as well as across the leg so we need to stretch as you would the hamstring but also add in some rotation as well. We have already stretched out its chief function in exercise A therefore we will concentrate on lengthening and rotating alongside desensitising the sciatic nerve.

Here goes! Lie on your back and place the belt underneath your foot. Bend the other knee and place your foot on the floor (this prevents your hips from moving too much). Then actively lift your leg up in the air

while pointing your toes, at the same time as rotating your thigh inwards (keep knee straight), hold two seconds and briefly relax the leg by de-rotating, dropping down towards the floor and most importantly now bringing your toes towards you. The toe and hip movements are done to slide the sciatic nerve while the active lifting and rotating is to stretch the adductor magnus. This is physically and mentally tough at fi rst, but well worth the eff ort!

All the exercises should be performed daily until the problem area is feeling better, but remember, while this may be the source of your pain, it may not be the cause – if in doubt, get it checked out.

AFTER being involved in the natural health business for many years, I have encountered many athletes

who are of the opinion that they eat “quite healthily”. After further questioning as to exactly what they do eat on a daily basis, it usually transpires that their so-called healthy diet is not perhaps as healthy as they were led to believe.

Their diet usually comprises an inadequate amount of vegetables – most, or all of which are cooked. Added to that will be some fruits, an over-consumption of animal produce (eggs, meats, fi sh and dairy products), mostly refi ned and therefore nutrient-deprived carbohydrates (such as white rice, pasta, white bread and other baked products) and a load of unhealthy fats. Moreover, even the athletes who eat more vegetables in a cooked form and less of the other stuff still believe that their diet is therefore healthy.

When I begin to try and explain how their thinking is perhaps somewhat flawed, I often meet with resistance. Not surprisingly, most of us don’t like hearing that deeply entrenched lifestyle habits may be bad for us and even scarier, they may actually be leading us towards an early demise. Visualise premature ageing and the onset of premature diminishing athletic performance and you begin to get the message.

The raw facts

Of course, you can’t blame people for being confused because there’s so much conflicting information out there. Is chocolate good or bad for us? Should we drink red wine or is all alcohol to be avoided? Are organically grown foods just a waste of money? Do you get enough protein on a vegetarian diet? The list seems endless and bamboozling. So, with this in mind, when athletes ask me what they should eat in order to optimise their performance and increase their health and longevity, I try to keep my answer as simple as possible.

Choose nutrient dense foodsNutrient-dense foods supply us with the maximum amount of nutrients, but are lowest in fats, sugars, starch and protein. Don’t get me wrong, though – we all need enough protein and carbs to keep us healthy, but getting enough is rarely a problem in countries where the Western style of diet predominates. In fact, the over-consumption of those foods is the main cause of chronic disease.

The bottom line is that many athletes are eating too many so-called bulk nutrients like protein, refi ned carbs and fats, and yet, because these foods are seriously lacking in vitamins, minerals, enzymes and antioxidants, they are literally starving in a land of plenty!

What’s more, because our bodies are nutrient-starved, we crave more of the same foods in order to try to correct the problem.

So what’s the end result? The answer is: more calories, more cravings and a lifetime struggle to regulate bodyweight – all of which can impact on athletic performance and longevity.

Examples of nutrient-dense foodsIt’s interesting to note that the vegetables highest in nutrients as well as being the most healing and performance-boosting are the dark green leafy ones, such as: kale, spinach, chard, broccoli, watercress, cabbages, sea-greens, parsley, pak choi, collard greens, Brussels sprouts, blue/green algae such as spirulina (one of the richest sources of chlorophyll and protein), sprouted seeds such as sunflower and snow peas, which form nutrient packed, enzyme-rich green shoots.

Eat your greens rawThe best way to eat your greens is in their raw state. This doesn’t mean that eating lightly cooked broccoli or Brussels sprouts is a bad thing because you still get some goodness in your diet by including them. However, raw is always best since heat destroys enzymes and nutrients which are vital for good health.

What’s more, raw living foods contain an electrical potential that some refer to as “lifeforce” (see Dr Brian Clement’s book Lifeforce).

ATHLETES WHO THINK THEY HAVE A HEALTHY DIET MAY BE IN FOR A SHOCK, WRITES DAVID REAVELY

Benefi ts of increased green vegetable consumption They provide a high intake of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and other natural chemical compounds, which help to optimise athletic performance, increase resistance to injury and accelerate recovery from injury

They help to increase longevity – by slowing down cellular ageing you are able to perform at a high level for longer

They also help to ensure that the pH of your blood is slightly alkaline, which is conducive towards strong bones and a stronger immune system

They contain highly protective nutrients and phytochemicals that help to protect you against the so-called chronic diseases such as cancer, heart disease and arthritis



RECOVERY is becoming increasingly important for elite athletes in a bid to reduce fatigue and enhance performance. Techniques being used include: hydrotherapy, active recovery, stretching, compression garments and massage. Recent research suggests that hydrotherapy, compression and massage can enhance performance when utilised appropriately.

Although hydrotherapy is incorporated widely into post-exercise recovery regimes, information regarding these interventions is largely anecdotal. The human body responds to water immersion with changes in the heart, peripheral resistance and blood flow, as well as alterations in skin, core and muscle temperature. The changes in blood-flow and temperature may have an effect on inflammation, immune function, muscle soreness and perception of fatigue. The most common forms of water immersion are cold-water immersion, hot water immersion and contrast water therapy.

It is not clear whether there are benefits of an active recovery between training sessions or following competition. No detrimental effects on performance have been reported following an active recovery (when compared to a passive recovery) between training sessions, along with a small amount of literature reporting enhanced performance. Many researchers, however, use the removal of lactate as their primary indicator of recovery and this may not be a valid indicator of enhanced recovery and the ability to repeat performance at a previous level. The role of active recovery in reducing lactate concentrations after exercise may be an important factor for athletes, although the research in this area is incomplete.

Although stretching is anecdotally one of the most used recovery strategies, the literature examining the effects of stretching as a recovery method is sparse. There have been mixed reports

regarding the benefit of stretching as a recovery strategy. However, two separate reviews of recovery methods concluded that there was no benefit for stretching as a recovery modality. It is important to note that, to date, there have not been any detrimental effects on performance associated with post-exercise stretching.

Compression clothing has been traditionally used to treat various lymphatic and circulatory conditions and the garments are thought to improve venous return through application of graduated compression to the limbs from proximal to distal. The external pressure created may reduce the intramuscular space available for swelling and promote stable alignment of muscle fibres, attenuating the inflammatory response and reducing muscle soreness.

Although there is minimal research into compression garments and recovery for endurance athletes, the small amount of data suggests that there may be some small benefits with no indication that they impede the recovery process.

Massage is a widely used recovery strategy among athletes. However, apart from perceived benefits of massage on muscle soreness, few reports have demonstrated positive effects on repeated exercise performance. Furthermore, increased blood flow is one of the main mechanisms proposed to improve recovery (thus improving clearance of metabolic waste products). However, many studies reported no increase in blood flow or lactate removal during massage. Indeed, in a recent study it was reported that massage actually impaired blood flow and lactate removal.

It is important to note that an emphasis should also be directed to optimal post-exercise nutrition and adequate sleep to maximise recovery and reduce fatigue from exercise.

Sports scienceThis is aptly demonstrated by

Kirlian photography, which shows that when vegetables are cooked, the energy fi eld that is emitted is greatly diminished, whereas the raw equivalent is vibrant with “living” energy. It’s when these raw, vibrant foods are eaten that their electrical potential resonates with the cells in our body. It’s thought that this is one of the reasons why a raw food diet is conducive towards creating good health, slowing the ageing process and helping the body to heal.

In order to maximise your intake of nutrients in the shortest possible time, it’s good to juice your veggies. Don’t juice too many of the high-glycaemic vegetables such as carrots and beetroot as that will just spike your blood sugar levels. The best combination is: celery, cucumber, a large handful

of green leafy veg such as spinach, kale or any other greens, half of an unwaxed lemon and an apple or carrot to add some sweetness. Try substituting a small piece of ginger for the lemon to vary the taste.

This is an excellent way of delivering lots of nutrients into your body without over-taxing your digestive system with all of that fi bre. In fact, it takes 10-15 minutes to get into your system.

Many athletes ask me: “What about the fi bre? We need that surely.” Yes, it is true, but if you’re eating enough vegetables, fruits and whole grains you will be getting more than enough fi bre.”

OVERSEAS

Trial runsTHE Welsh held their Commonwealth Trials last weekend but both England and Scotland have decided against Commonwealth Trials

held within their national championships. Why? While Scotland’s standards look fair, England’s don’t. (ie 13:03 A and 13:20 B

for men’s 5000m). Trials provide clear indication to athletes and selectors of ability to perform under pressure.Steve Smythe, Results editor

RESULTS GUIDE


Flannery flies to hurdles PB BELGIUMOordegem-Lede, May 31 NIALL FLANNERY had a sensational breakthrough to win the 400m hurdles in 48.96, taking more than half a second off his PB to go top of the UK rankings. Behind him, Sebastian Rodger finished second in 49.51 to go third in the UK rankings and he also went well inside the European Championships standard of 49.80.

Another big breakthrough was achieved by James Wilkinson, whose best track results have previously been in the steeplechase. The Leeds athlete took 11 seconds off his 5000m PB to go third in the UK rankings with 13:27.27.

Though he didn’t achieve the much tougher 13.50 standard in the hurdles, Olympic finalist Lawrence Clarke maintained his consistent form to win in 13.61.

BMC REGIONAL RACES, ElthamEUROPEAN junior 1500m finalist Sean Wyllie showed good speed to outsprint his predecessor as British junior mile road champion, Sean Molloy, over 800m.

Sophie Mansfield went top of the UK Under-17 800m rankings as she set a three-second PB and ran nearly 10 seconds faster than her PB of last year.

Behind her, English Schools junior girls’ 1500m champion Sabrinha Sinha went second in the rankings and also broke 2:10 for the first time as 29 PBs were set in the 800m races.

After five previous 800m races this year in the 2:21s, Clare Elms went inside 2:20, but her 2:19.68 narrowly missed Laura Mahady’s British W50 record of 2:19.50.

Harry Boyd went second in the under-15 1500m rankings as he went inside 4:20 for the first time with 4:14.64.Men: 800: A: 1 S Wyllie (Brack, U20) 1:51.71; 2 S Molloy (Ton, U20) 1:52.24; 3 J Ketley (Craw) 1:53.31; 4 O Mansour (WG&EL) 1:53.52; 5 N Armstrong (Bexley, U20) 1:53.67; 6 P Lucas (Croy, U20) 1:55.21.

VETS AC, SURREY AND SUSSEX MASTERS’ CHAMPIONSHIPS, EwellNEARLY 60 years after running in the 1956 Olympic Games steeplechase final, Eric Shirley is still setting age-group records in a meeting that saw the Vets championships move away from Battersea.

Shirley set M85 UK records for 400m (98.45) and 800m (3:54:37).

Liz Sissons set a UK W65 best with the 500g javelin of 22.41m.

M50 Steve Beak set a meeting records in the 100m of 12.12 and M70 Terry Bissett did likewise in his age group at 14.57.

Just prior to entering the W65 age group, Ros Tabor set a W60 Surrey best in the 1500m at 5:43.14 and scored higher than 98% on age-grading.

In the 5000m, W60 Maggie Statham and W65 Margaret Moody set Vets AC championship bests at 20:25.91 and 21:50.84 respectively.

Barry Ferguson won both M70 hurdles races with his 55.87 300m hurdles being a Vets AC championship best.

Former international high jumper Julia Machin set new marks for both Surrey and Vets AC in the 400m hurdles at 67.03 but was beaten on countback by Ayamba Akim in her speciality as both cleared 1.65m.

Elsewhere in the field, Neil Lincoln won the Surrey M40 long jump with 6.08m, while there were Surrey pole vault championship bests for M50 John Andrews at 3.70m and M60 David Blunt, whose 3.20m was also a Vets AC record. His 1.40m high jump was also a new championship best. Alan Long’s M70 long jump of 4.02m equalled the Surrey best while his 8.48m triple jump was an outright best.

The throws saw Vilma Thompson’s 31.97m hammer set a new W60 Surrey mark.

The Vets AC Championships moved away from the usual venue of Battersea to combine with the Surrey and Sussex masters championships.M35 men: PV: 1 G Conlon (Walt) 4.20; 1 L Walker (Craw) 4.20M40: 100: SFx (0.5): 1 C Harvey (Lewes) 11.97.

A FLEET-FOOTED footballer could get picked for Scotland’s 4x400m squad at the Commonwealth Games.

Grant Plenderleith won a ‘Dash for Cash’ 60m sprint competition for lower division footballers in Scotland two years ago when he was playing for Stenhousemuir and now the prison offi cer from Falkirk is a contender for a place in the Scottish relay squad.

Plenderleith is taking nothing for granted ahead of the fi nal selection announcement, although he was involved in the quartet who ran a qualifying time in Belgium last week and then clocked his own 400m PB of 47.46 at Grangemouth last Saturday.

So when did he start to think about swapping his football boots for spikes?

“It would be the day I won that Ramsden’s Dash For Cash race at Livingston,” he said, recalling the event from March 2012. “They were looking for the fastest footballer in the SFL as it was at the time. In many ways, my life changed that day.”

The 23-year-old added: “I didn’t start the race too well and had to catch the other guy after halfway. Then, afterwards, we were interviewed by a couple of journalists.

“I don’t know who it was, but someone asked me, ‘Have you ever

thought about giving up football and taking up athletics and trying to qualify for the Commonwealth Games?’

“I answered that it had not crossed my mind and that was the truth but I went home and started to think about it. I went to Grangemouth a couple of months later to take part in an open athletics meeting – where you just turn up on the night and run.

“I recorded 22.25 for 200m that night and, when I checked the Scottish rankings, I realised that brought me in at about No.5. I started to think there was a chance of Glasgow 2014 with a bit of eff ort and training.”

THE defrocked Irish priest who is famous for interrupting major sporting events was recently spotted taking part in one himself – the Bupa Westminster Mile in London (see right).

Cornelius ‘Neil’ Horan interfered with the 2003 British Grand Prix at Silverstone and the next year he grabbed the leader of the men’s marathon in the Athens Olympics, Vanderlei de Lima, about 7km from the finish. De Lima lost around 20 seconds, plus valuable momentum, and wound up third in the race.

Horan, who used the incident to spread his belief that the end of the world was nigh, later apologised.

MO FARAH and his wife Tania are hoping to have more children in the near future. They already have three kids but they told Fabulous magazine last Sunday that they’re after more.

Tania said: “We’ve not set a deadline, but we’re ready. As soon as possible. But Mo needs to be home first. That’ll help!”

IAN STEWART, the former meeting director and head of endurance at UKA, is known for not mincing his words – and he made some critical comments about his old employer in an interview with the Herald last week.

On whether the sport has stagnated since 2012, he said: “That’s not for me to say, but I think we have taken massive steps backwards, though I may be proved wrong.

“Forget pushing me aside. When people like John Rogers – the best doctor we have had for endurance – walks out; when our best scientist, Barry Fudge is moved from where he is really needed, to head of endurance, and where Neil Black, a great physio, is now performance director, well …”

The 1970 Edinburgh Commonwealth Games 5000m champion now works as a consultant for Nova International.

A step backwards?

Mo kids, please
