IMPORTANT NEWS FROM THE RANELAGH COACHING TEAM
Karen Weir writes:
"Following a recent meeting of the Ranelagh coaching team we have decided to
shake things up a little to help all our runners improve and share the
coaching load amongst more volunteers. Many of you have got 'comfortable' in
your groups and we are also trying to encourage members to aspire to improve
and work your way up through the groups. We will be removing the alignment
between a single coach and a specific group so you will find your Tuesday
night sessions being taken by different coaches; this keeps everyone fresh
and gives the coaches a chance to train without the pressure of coaching
every week.
Over the next few weeks, the coaches will be introduced to you on a Tuesday
night and we hope you will be encouraged to pick the training group that
best suits your pace and current condition. There will be five groups going
forward:
* Advanced - sub 22 min for 5km
* Intermediate 1 - sub 25 min for 5km
* Intermediate 2 - sub 28 min for 5km
* Intermediate 3 - sub 35 min for 5km
* Development - suitable for beginners, those slower than 35 min for
5km and/or unable to cover 5 miles, or those simply wanting a gentle run.
We will also be introducing a Saturday training session on the first
Saturday of each month which will incorporate Richmond parkrun. Members of
the coaching team will be available to lead a warm up and then pace parkrun
to help Ranelagh members achieve their PB goals. Each month we will
advertise which coaches will be available and the times they are willing to
pace. No need to let us know you're coming, just meet your coaches at
Pembroke Lodge by 8.30 and please wear Ranelagh kit if possible. (Meet by
the coffee cabin next to the car park). The session will start promptly so
arrive a little early and let your coach know the pace you'd like to
attempt. First coached parkrun will be Saturday 4th November and coaches
available are:
Peter Weir - 20 mins or slower
Wiebke Kortum - 22 mins or slower
Phil Killingley - 17 mins or slower
The coaching team will also be taking over one of the notice boards in the
clubhouse so you'll be able to find details of the coaches and the training
sessions. This will take a while to get established but we will have it in
place by the end of the year.
We are looking forward to training with you and seeing you improve and
achieve your goals, we know it's not all about speed for everyone so don't
feel that you are being forced out of your comfort zone if that's not what
you are interested in. We are simply trying to raise our coaching standards,
spread the number of runners across the groups a little more equally and
reduce the workload on our volunteers. See you on a Tuesday night soon!"
ZXU SURREY CROSS-COUNTRY LEAGUE DIVISION 1 Saturday 10th November
Marc Snaith writes:
"The mud on your spikes may still be damp but already we need to start
planning for the second Surrey League fixture on our course at Richmond Park
in less than two weeks' time. We are only 70pts ahead of eighth placed
Stragglers so we need another great performance to solidify our place in the
mid-table pack.
This will be the 200th race of the Surrey League so it would be good to
celebrate the occasion with an improved performance on the last race. We'll
probably be missing Carl Selya-Hammer who ran the Frankfurt Marathon last
Sunday so we need improvements from those who ran at Wimbledon Common and
also appearances from those runners who missed the first race but would
expect to score.
I was disappointed that we only managed 17 runners last time and being a
home fixture I'm hoping to see more than 30 of you on the start line and
some new faces from the Ham training group. Despite not having a full B
team, we still lead the competition against The Stragglers by 90pts.
The ladies aren't racing on 10 November so I'm hoping we'll have great
support on the course and we can match that with an outstanding
performance."
MOB MATCH v THAMES HARE & HOUNDS Saturday 17th November
Looking further ahead, our second mob match this season is against Thames
Hare and Hounds on our own course in Richmond Park on November 17th. They
will be stronger than us at the front but with weight of numbers we can beat
them. Everyone is needed! Put the date in your diary now, and don't forget
also that in the evening we enjoy a very convivial and entertaining supper
with our visitors in the clubhouse.

RUNNERS' ROWING RACE
Paul Gregory is trying to revive the Franckeiss Cup rowing race that used to
be contested between ourselves, Blackheath Harriers and sometimes other
clubs. The Skiff Club, of which Paul is a member, is offering their
facilities and skiffs for training in November and - hopefully - a race on
Sunday 2nd December. Double skiffs would be used - two oarsmen/women and a
cox - on a downstream course of approx 3 - 3 ½ minutes. Paul writes:
"Skiffing is with two blades, as opposed to rowing which has one oar per
crew member. As there is no load on the joints, skiffing is an ideal way to
exercise particularly for runners recovering from injury. Skiffing is a much
easier skill than rowing to acquire as the boats are inherently stable, and
four outings should enable a good race to take place."
We already have a few volunteers but there is room for more, especially
anyone prepared to cox for one of the skiffs. If you have any rowing
experience or would like to have a try or would be prepared to cox, contact
Roger Haines at captain@theskiffclub.org.uk. The Skiff Club will ensure that
instructors are available for each crew.
RICHMOND HALF MARATHON Sunday 5th May 2013
I know it's not until next May, but we have already received nearly 500
entries and it seems certain that - like last year - the entry limit will
be reached by January if not sooner. If you wish to run can we urge you to
get your entry in now. Numbers are easily transferrable through the club or
Fetch Everyone and Runner's World so if you can't run after all you needn't
be out of pocket. Details:.
GREEN BELT RELAY 2013
Kirsty Bangham writes:
"I have received an email with details of next year's GBR. It is due to take
place on May 11th/12th - a week earlier than last year in order to avoid the
large bike ride going in the opposite direction! I would like to take a
break from organising the teams this year, but would be happy to help and
support someone else. I would definitely like to take part!
Please let me know if anyone is interested in organising the Ranelagh teams
for this excellent event. Contact Kirsty kirstybangham@hotmail.com

THE VERTICAL KILOMETRE
Peter Fordham sends this from the International Skyrunning Federation
website:
"Both the men's and women's world records in the Vertical Kilometre tumbled
in the fourth Vertical Series race in Fully, Switzerland. Italy's Urban
Zemmer rocketed up the 1,000m vertical course, only 1.9 km long, in just
30.26, 20 seconds faster than the standing world record set here in 2011. In
the ladies' field the top four all closed under record time. French runner
Christel Dewalle was first in 36.48.
The new men's record nears a speed of 2,000 vertical metres per hour
(precisely 1,971m) an incredible ground-breaking performance that the ISF
has been monitoring for many years in a scientific research project. As a
matter of interest, the maximum vertical gain in cycling, 1,850m per hour,
was established by Marco Pantani in 1998. Depending on the course and type
of start, poles are permitted and most of the runners used them. However, to
date, the advantages of using poles has not been scientifically
demonstrated."
Peter adds:
"I have witnessed these races in the Dolomites on two occasions and tested
part of the course. I have never 'run' a specific 'Vertical KM race', as
they've always clashed with my big race the following day. They typically
average out at just under 45% gradient, although parts are steeper. I can
advise anyone who's interested. For those lacking endurance, there is also
the Vertical 100m!"

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
2XU SURREY CROSS-COUNTRY LEAGUE DIVISION 1 Saturday 20th October on
Wimbledon Common
Marc Snaith reports:
"First the team result. We finished an amazing fifth which is an incredible
result given the absences in our team and the quality of competition. What
an excellent start to the season and with a home fixture coming up we can
really put some daylight between us and the relegation zone - currently only
70pts.
So onto the racing. Sam Perkins was keen to get off to a good start and show
Phil Killingley that his one run a week training plan was more productive
than Phil's three runs a week plan. However with a mile to go Sam was
'having a tantrum' because he hadn't seen Phil for the entire race. Was Phil
really that far ahead? Moments later Phil eased past his younger clubmate
and maintained his advantage all the way to the finish. Phil edged inside
the top twenty, with Sam not far behind in 23rd. Darryl McDonald followed
our top two showing that he hadn't lost any of his summer form two seconds
ahead of Carl Selya-Hammer who was warming up for next week's Frankfurt
Marathon. Both were just inside the top 50 in 48th and 49th respectively.
Man of the meet was undoubtedly Ian Kenton who was our fifth scorer and ran
by far his best race in a Ranelagh vest finishing in 68th so surely a top 50
spot would be a good target for February? Barely a minute after Ian, three
Harriers finished within ten seconds of each other headed by Chris Bundhun
(76th), chased closely by Ted Mockett (81st) and Trevor Maguire (82nd). The
latter is adamant he lost ten places resolving a mid-course shoe lace
incident. I'll remember that if we are relegated by less than 10 points!
At the back of our scoring team were two runners returning from injury who
will be looking forward to racing properly after Christmas when they are a
bit fitter, Steve Whitehead (93rd) and Marc Snaith (98th). The latter was
making all kinds of excuses about spike length and foot pain, didn't we hear
that one at the National?? Hold on, should I be talking about myself in the
third person? Duncan Mallison will be disappointed that Marc's spikes were
3mm longer as Duncan narrowly missed out on scoring for the first time.
Phil Aiken showed that his appointment as women's team manager has not
slowed him down and had one of his best cross country runs just ahead of
Perry Rendell making his Surrey League debut. There's a lot more to come
from both guys this season and hopefully Perry can persuade a few of his
training group to run our home meeting in three weeks' time.
Only seventeen ran which is disappointing considering our lowest turnout
last year was 25. We lost a few runners to the following day's Cabbage Patch
10 but those who did run gave a great account of themselves in what was a
tough course in tougher conditions. This meant we were three men short of
the magic twenty required to complete a full B team in the competition
against The Stragglers. However The Stragglers also felt the pain of the
Cabbage Patch 10 and could only muster seventeen runners leaving us equally
punished."
Kent AC made the expected impact by winning on their Division 1 debut ahead
of Thames, with holders Herne Hill pushed back to third. Hercules Wimbledon
finished an isolated 4th and then our unexpected fifth place set us up with
a 13 points advantage over Belgrave and SLH, Stragglers another 61 behind
and then Reigate a little tailed off. As Marc mentioned, both we and
Stragglers fielded only 17 runners, so in our unofficial B team contest with
them we were both penalised for the missing three runners. The score stands
at 1487 to 1577 in our favour.
SURREY LADIES CROSS-COUNTRY LEAGUE DIVISION 1 Saturday 20th October on
Wimbledon Common
Our women's team was hit even harder than the men's by the clash with the
Cabbage Patch and other unavoidable absences. We finished 14th in Division 1
and will have to work hard in the later fixtures to be sure of hanging on to
our Division 1 status.
Despite a knee injury Marie Synnott-Wells led the team home in 49th place
and not too far behind her there were encouraging League debuts from Gemma
Cory and Cathy Jones. Sandwiching them were the more experienced Sandra
Prosser and Heather Martingell, and providing backup were Kirsty Bangham and
Sharon Dooley. Michelle Purcell also ran but was one of a couple of dozen
runners who were unfortunately misdirected and ended up running a short
course.
Livvy Ricketts represented us in the Under 13s race and finished in a
promising 30th place.
CABBAGE PATCH 10 miles Sunday 21st October
As usual there was a strong Ranelagh presence among the 1,600+ starters for
the Cabbage Patch 10. Conditions weren't ideal but the course was as fast as
ever. The first 53 finishers beat the hour, with the leading men in blue
just outside: Mark Herbert led the way, finishing in 60.52 with Martin
Halvey just a few seconds back. There was a gap then of some three minutes
before Duncan Mallison - who had run the League race the day before - just
ahead of Nick Harrison and Lars Lundqvist. Sean Paynter, Bill Neely, Ben
Shore and Stewart Anderson completed our sub-70 minutes finishers.
There was a close race too for the leading Ranelagh women. Michelle Davies
was ahead for the first half of the race before Becky Hall passed her and
built up a lead of over 40 seconds before crossing the line in 70.51. Less
than a minute further back came Juliet Edwards, finishing - in Phil Aiken's
words - like a train. Wiebke Kortum and 17 year-old Amelie Hunton were also
inside 76 minutes.
HAROLD LEE CUP MOB MATCH v ORION HARRIERS Saturday 27th October
We mustered a fairly small "mob" for our annual contest with Orion, and they
comfortably outnumbered us on their own course in Epping Forest. After
plenty of rain in recent weeks the Forest was in choice condition. For those
who like mud - there was plenty of it. For those who don't like mud - well,
there was still plenty of it. It's a tough course at the best of times,
though scenic if you can take the time to contemplate your surroundings. An
early switchback -mercifully on a firm forest track - sets the tone and as
the race goes on the hills get longer and steeper, culminating in the
infamous Yardley after which - thankfully - there is a half mile run through
the trees to the finish. It's certainly no Richmond Park, but that streak of
masochism which must permeate through all runners always seems to lead
people to say how much they enjoyed it. I'm glad we don't run here every
week though!
Mark Herbert was the only Ranelagh man to mix it with the leading Orion pack
and even he had to let several of them past in the closing stages. Evergreen
David Wright in his 149th mob match was our second man home ahead of Peter
Faull and Ben Shore. Cathy Jones in her maiden mob match was our leading
woman. It was good to see Paul Keen turning out on a trip down from
Sheffield.
Scoring 19 a side, Orion easily regained the Harold Lee Cup by 229 points to
646.
ROYAL PARKS HALF MARATHON Sunday 7th October
In addition to the results listed in the last e-news, Ally Salisbury ran a
1:52 PB. Our Chris Read points out that he was not the Chris Read who took
part.

10 Alan Davidson 20.33 (17.18)
27 John Hanscomb 22.35 (25.35)
THE RIDGEWAY RUN 15km Sunday 14th October at Tring
Phil Aiken reports:
"According to Tring Running Club's website, The Ridgeway Run was established
in 1982 and is a challenging trail run of approximately 15 kilometres, over
an attractive route mainly on footpaths and bridleways with stunning
Chiltern views. Starting on the outskirts of Tring, the course gradually
ascends into the beautiful Ashridge Forest, past the Bridgewater Monument,
takes in a stretch of the famous Ridgeway Path before descending back along
quiet paths into Tring and finishing at the Cricket Club.
This year it was held on the most glorious autumn morning with bright
sunshine and a cloudless blue sky. I'm not sure the stunning Chiltern views
would have been quite so stunning had the weather been as it was for the
Cabbage Patch 10 a week later. But it's the off-road, undulating six miles
in the middle which make the race what it is. Imagine a cross between the
Surrey Badger Half Marathon and Blackheath's Mob Match course. With an entry
fee of £9, which includes a technical tee shirt, it's a bargain and is on my
list for next year. The only downside was having to leave home before 6am,
such is the dearth of public transport first thing on a Sunday."

AMSTERDAM MARATHON and HALF MARATHON Sunday 21st October
Chris Read reports:
"On Sunday 21 October I ran the Amsterdam Half Marathon. I combined the run
with a visit to my brother and his family, which ensured some welcome and
vocal support. The weather was cool and overcast, which was perfect for
running. The course was flat and the race was well organised. I was
uncertain how to pace the run as my half marathon times this year have
ranged from 1.36 to 1.46. I followed the 1.40 pacers up to 11k and then
pushed on a bit. I crossed the finish line in a time of 1.38.36.
Simon Burrell adds:
"I decided to try heading out as fast as I could and see if I could hang on,
which seemed like a good strategy on the day as I managed to shave over six
minutes off my PB. In fact the pacing on my final 6k was some way quicker
than all previous 5k splits. Great event, course and atmosphere, so would
definitely recommend. Deborah, who finished the marathon just inside 5
hours, and I travelled with Running Crazy and we enjoyed spending the
weekend with runners from all over the UK plus a large contingent from
Brazil."
In the marathon Estelle Damant ran a textbook even-paced debut to finish in
3:01 and take 12th place on the Ranelagh all-time list.

FRANKFURT MARATHON Sunday 28th October
Carl Selya-Hammer writes on Facebook:
"I am utterly drained. Happy with a 3 minute improvement from six months
ago, but quite frustrated that I was well on pace for sub-2:40 until
everything went out of me during the last 3 miles. Mentally I was barely
holding it together. I probably could have gone out more conservatively but
I felt absolutely incredible through 20 miles. After that the field thinned
out and the wind gradually broke me down. If I can make another 3 minute
improvement six months from now in the London Marathon I will be a very
happy man."

VENICE MARATHON Sunday 28th October
Paul Gilbert reports:
"After much worry about license/membership card and doctor's certificate,
all of which were procured, I was asked to produce neither at registration.
The weather was horrendous - a 'Dominica bestiale' as the newspaper Il
Gazettino put it...'Pioggia, bora e acqua alta. Una maratona di tormenti'.
That's rain, wind and high tide floods...you can work out the rest. The wind
was 20mph into our faces most of the way, driving rain and downtown Venice
badly flooded due to acqua alta. My chip time was 3h49m55s as I sprinted -
sort of - to get under 3h50m. Before the rain came I was doing 5m kilometres
quite comfortably for the first few miles until the weather and fatigue got
the better of me. I have never been so cold in my life as I was after the
finish. I was still shivering after a 15 minutes hot shower until the hot
water ran put in my hotel room! But overall I was very glad I did it and
would definitely recommend it for the future, hopefully with more typically
temperate weather for future participants."
