"Many fellow runners have been asking why I have not been running since
early February. In fact I have had to give up places in both the Brighton
Marathon and the Ranelagh Half but I will be marshalling there! Sadly I had
a badly torn medial meniscus, probably due to running. This was confirmed at
an MRI. Today I had my knee operation. So far so good. I would like to
thank all those people who have sent their kind wishes to me prior to my
operation. I hope to be running again in June!"

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
LONDON MARATHON Sunday 21st April
There were poignant moments during this London Marathon, just a few days
after the tragic events which unfolded at Boston. Most runners wore the
black ribbon provided in the race pack and there was a 30 seconds silence
before the start in commemoration of the victims. But the sun shone, the
temperature was fine (for spectators) and the London crowds were out in
their tens of thousands to demonstrate that they would not be cowed.
We had at least 25 runners in the race, which incorporated our club marathon
championships. Carl Selya-Hammer led them throughout, maintaining a strong
and steady 6-minute miling pace until the very closing stages. Ed Barker was
our only other finished inside three hours, then close together at 3.16 came
Peter Weir and Bill Neely - Bill having flown back just the day before from
Boston where he had been covering the story for ITN. Mike Peace maintained
his ever-present record at the London - now one of only fifteen men to have
finished every one. Ian Grange completed his third marathon in fifteen days,
having also run at Paris and Brighton.
Carl writes:
"My first London Marathon was definitely a race I won't soon forget. The
spectators were world class, the only race that can compare to the
atmosphere of the NYC Marathon. As for the race itself, I was fortunate
enough to start at the championship start and indeed it was a very relaxed
start with no queues for any toilets as the main advantage! For the first
10km I went out at 2:40 pace, aiming for a sub-2:40 finish time. It took a
lot of focus to reign in my pace early on as the my splits were around
6min/mile instead of 6:06 yet effort-wise they felt like just an easy
warm-up. After 10km I increased the pace to around 2:38 pace and still these
miles felt very easy. I was surprised at how many people were out there
cheering, including my first sighting of Ranelagh club members who appeared
to be everywhere, screaming their heads off. As I approached halfway, I felt
like I was working a bit harder but still had plenty in the tank. At this
point I realized it was getting a bit hot as I recall really appreciating
some shade around the lead-up to Tower Bridge, and I remember feeling a bit
hot as I exited the bridge. I crossed halfway at 1:19:15, just about 15
seconds ahead of schedule, but pretty much where I wanted to be. My next
milestone was to get to mile 18 with enough energy left to finish strong,
which I pulled off without a problem. Right around 30K, as I had planned it,
I started chasing the runners in front of me and passing them in a
controlled manner. This worked for a few miles but it soon became clear to
me that I had gone off too fast too soon. At around mile 22 I realized I had
overcooked it and I had 4 difficult miles ahead of me before the finish. At
that point, around 35K, I was still exactly where I wanted to be - 2:38:30
pace, but unfortunately my pace quickly began slowing and it suddenly felt
incredibly hot. I finally shuffled across the finish line at 2:40:57 after
having lost a minute over my previous pace from 35-40km and more than
another minute from 40-42km. Still a PB for me by about 20 seconds but I
must admit a bit disappointing, bonking at mile 22 the same way I did 6
months ago in Frankfurt. For my next marathon in the autumn I plan to really
focus on race tactics and I may try to run more of an even pace throughout
instead of pushing the pace over the last 10km. Anyway, a big thank you to
all the Ranelagh club members who came out and cheered. You all made up for
all of my non-running friends who couldn't get out of bed that early on a
Sunday morning!"
Christine Palmer was an unheralded Ranelagh women's champion, 8 minutes
clear of Amelie Hunton who had actually led Christine until gone half way.
Here's Christine:
"As I stood at the start of the London Marathon last Sunday I was very
content I'd made it that far. Having picked up a slight knee injury during
my last long run on Good Friday, the last few weeks of training contained
very limited amounts of running, several physio sessions and lots of
stretching so that my knee was in the best shape possible for the race. The
30 second silence was a fitting tribute to those affected by the Boston
Marathon bombing and then the race had started! The first miles went well,
although the heat and sunshine was something winter training hadn't quite
been able to prepare us for! The support as always was amazing and as I ran
over Tower Bridge the wall of noise was deafening and really spurred me on
to the half way point. The Isle of Dogs proved to be where I suffered the
most and mile 17 was a struggle, however having seen some friends and family
in the crowd it spurred me on towards Canary Wharf. By the time I started to
head away from Canary Wharf towards the city (and the finish) I knew that a
PB was still on and although the last few miles were painful, crossing the
line in 3hours 36mins definitely made up for it!"
Phil Jackson wasn't so happy:
"I have now run London twice. The first time was on a hot day in 2009 when
it was my first marathon. I found it difficult then and I found it difficult
last Sunday. It is a very technical course and is probably the hardest of
all the ten marathons that I have now done. I have to admit that I just
don't like it. It is full of sharp twists and turns which slow you down and
gives other runners the opportunity to cut you up. And it most definitely is
not flat. In fact, I would describe it as 'lumpy' with lots of nasty little
inclines like the ramp up onto Tower Bridge and the climb out of the
Blackfriars underpass. And the crowds! Don't get me started about the crowds
of other runners. No matter where you are on the course you are never out of
heavy traffic. Runners spontaneously make sudden right angle changes in
direction and run across just in front of you as they single-mindedly aim
for a water station or for their friends amongst the spectators at the side
of the road. Then there are those who overtake you and cut suddenly right
in front of you forcing you to break your rhythm as you try to avoid
tripping up on them or catching their heels. All you can do is try to fend
them off with a hand in the middle of their back. So then there's the heat.
We've done all our training in ice and snow, wind, rain and cold so
obviously on the day it is hot and sunny. In spite of trying to keep in the
shade as much as possible I still ended up with sunburn. And then there's
the sheer noise of the spectators. By mile 16 it was really doing my head
in and I felt like shouting back 'For God's sake shut up!' My own
performance was rather sad. I managed OK up to mile 5 and then I started
getting slower and slower and slower. At mile 15 I fell below my target
pace and from then on it was just a question of survival. Which I did but 12
minutes slower than Chicago. So I don't enjoy the London Marathon (give me
Chicago or Amsterdam any time) but that won't stop me applying for another
Good For Age place for 2014. I'm determined that London will not beat me.
I'll be back!"
But Andy Hayward was, eventually:
"I was really quite despondent in the couple of weeks before the marathon,
after my inconsistent training (mainly due to travelling) and my very slow
long training runs in the build up. I know we were doing them in arctic
conditions, but they were SLOW! And after them, I felt really tired, and not
able to think about going faster or further. I felt that had to translate to
a slower time than I would be comfortable with, as I couldn't see myself
running faster for longer on the day. That coupled with arriving back from a
four day business trip to Los Angeles on the Thursday afternoon, and the jet
lag that would mean, had me fearing a poor run. I was in pen 1 (must have
been based on old times!) of the blue start, and was across the line in 15
seconds (I was a bit nervous when the 2:59 pacer lined up behind me, but
decided to remain where I was). I decided to push on and see how long I
could hold a pace just ahead of what felt comfortable. That was bang on 8
min miling for the first nine or so, but then I started to slow a little and
went through the half in 1:46. I was nervous that everything was going to
fall apart in the second half, but grateful that I had something in the bank
for a goal of sub 3:45. After 16 miles I started to feel it, and really had
to dig in. The last three miles were a grind, but the wonderful Ranelagh
support on the course was very helpful. I felt I could get sub 3:45 if I
could just keep it going. Finally the countdown on Birdcage walk - 800m to
go and I looked at my watch and realised I would make 3:45, and thought I
could get even get 3:41 so I pushed on a bit. My mind must have been
befuddled as with 200 to go I could see the clock at the finish line had
just clicked over 3:39, so I found a sprint from somewhere to ensure a sub
3:40 both gun and chip time. Finished in 3:39:27 chip time. A long way from
my first target of 3:15 when I started the training (the day after the
Christmas party where I was lucky enough to get one of the club places) but
much better than I expected, so very happy in the circumstances."
Heather Martingell:
"I'd entered using my Good For Age time, hoping my marathon running buddies
would get a place. When they didn't, we entered Brighton. I thought at that
time back in August, I might do one and support at the other one but never
run both! Jane and I had tried a run/walk for Karen's research at Brighton
and didn't feel too tired so I gave the VLM a bash. On the journey there, I
was thinking...would something go wrong with the load of another marathon
within a week? Well, to be part of that half-minute's silence before the
start was worth the risk in hindsight. It felt such a privilege to be part
of it. How can silence seem so deafening?
I ran with Jane until maybe about 20ish miles. We shared a giggle many a
mile at the fact our legs STILL worked and it wasn't that painful but to be
honest the congestion of runners in the race now really gets me down with
the inexperienced cutting you up and nearly taking you out never mind the
treacherous discarded bottles. Great to spot Sonia & Steve, Sharon & Kirsty,
Simon & Deborah, Chris R, Peter Fordham, Aiah, with some lovely cheers from
Straggler chums. When the temperature went up and it started to feel
toasty, I'd had enough by about mile 22. Got some hugs, kisses and a can of
full fat coke from top supporting crew at mile 22. Swore at Kirsty for the
second time which seems to have become a bad London Marathon habit. Sorry
Kirsty! Spotted many chums in the remaining distance, even stopping to have
a chat and plan the next Medoc Marathon at mile 24! Hannah and Sue whisked
me off for a fab meal afterwards and have it 'almost' in writing, 'Never
again' ;-) My legs work OK but my brains are trashed having done this
double. This has shown me how much a marathon drains you mentally."
Mark Herbert ran dressed as a bottle of Fuller's London Pride:
"The race was great!!! On arrival at the green start my company had
registered me to compete for the world record in a bottle...now this was a
very long shot but I was willing to give it a shot. I had to also register
on the day before 8:45 and arrived with little time to spare. My pre-race
warm up was running up the hill from Maze Hill station, arriving with a
couple of minutes to spare. A group photograph was taken of all the costumes
and we lined up at the back of the pack ready to run. Directly after the 30
second silence for Boston the race was underway. My main competitors were a
fire extinguisher called 'Foamy' and another beer bottle. I managed to
settle into a nice rhythm at a comfortable pace and the plan of action was
to run as far as possible without stopping.
The weather was nice and sunny and rather cool in the morning but as the
race wore on it started to heat up. Dragging my right arm into the bottle I
managed to take on sufficient fluids and soak myself to cool down. I passed
through half way in around 2 hours feeling OK and kept on running up until
15 miles before my legs started to ache. It was stop/start from 17 onwards
as I needing to stretch but the crowds grew bigger the further the race went
on and this really helped. It was nice to see the friendly face of Peter
Fordham as I approached the Tower of London on the home stretch and huge
crowds creating a wall of noise pushed me onwards. Inside the last mile as I
turned by Big Ben Colin Jackson stopped me for a quick interview before I
turned the last two corners and dipped under the finish line in a time of
4:45. The London Marathon is such a special race and a pleasure to
participate in, A proud day for a great city. Congratulations to all
Ranelagh members who ran!!!"
Cindy Croucher:
"Deirdre, Stacey, Oliver and I started in pen 9 - so that is the back of the
back! It took us about 15 minutes to cross the start line but it was amazing
from the word go. There were loads of people, bands, music and runners. It
was hot, hot, hot from the word go. I can't tell you what a relief it was
when we hit a bit of shade. I walked through every shower and fireman's hose
to cool down. They were so cold they took my breath away! We saw loads of
family and friends around the course which really kept us going. The
Ranelagh support was fantastic!! Both of our watches had gone wrong by
Docklands so I have no idea of how far we actually ran - which was loads
more than 26.2 due to the weaving around the walls of walkers. The last four
miles were really tough but we just kept run/walking and although we didn't
make the pace we'd hoped for it didn't really matter, we finished! (And we
were quicker than Amy Childs by 3 minutes!!) Stacey finished in 5.21. I've
been blogging about my training so please have a read at
springchallenges.blogspot.co.uk/
there are loads of photos covering
the past four months of training in snow and rain and then one sunny, hot
marathon day!"
