INTER-CLUB v BANK OF ENGLAND etc Saturday 18th January in Richmond Park
(Roehampton Gate)
All members are invited to run on the Bank's 5 miles course starting near
Roehampton Gate in Richmond Park at 2.30pm. It incorporates the Hec Petersen
Trophy race against Ealing, Southall and Middlesex AC. The race HQ is the
Bank's sports club in Bank Lane, a quarter mile or so from the Park.
Details:. Please note that
if you stay for the sumptuous tea afterwards we are now asked to contribute
£2 a head towards costs.
VITAL RACES COMING UP IN FEBRUARY
On Saturday 8th February we have the final Surrey League races for our men's
and women's teams. The women run at Lloyd Park, Croydon, starting at 12
noon, followed by U17/U15 girls at 1pm and U13 girls at 1.30pm. Our main
target is to hold on to the runner-up spot, secondary target is to stay in
the top three and so win promotion to Division 1. The men are on our home
course in Richmond Park. The U17/U15/U13 boys run at 2.30pm followed by the
men at 3pm. We're in a very tight spot in the men's League: Walton AC are to
all intents and purposes already doomed to relegation, but there will be a
colossal fight between four clubs to avoid joining them. Belgrave Harriers
are 5th on 1602 points, Clapham Chasers are 6th on 1603, Ranelagh are 7th on
1621 and South London Harriers are 8th on 1640. It will be, to quote Bels'
Will Cockerell, "a slugfest!"
On Saturday 15th February it's our final mob match of the season against
Blackheath Harriers and Bromley AC on our home course in Richmond Park
starting at 2.30pm. Incorporated is the club championship for the splendid
Wynne Cup. We've pulled off two outstanding away wins in mob matches this
season, let's finish up by winning one at home! In mob matches all runners
count towards the final result so weight of numbers is crucial. If you can
be there, don't miss it. The winning team takes home the Pelling-Ratcliff
Cup. In the evening we welcome Hugh Jones - see below.
AN EVENING WITH HUGH JONES
Hugh Jones has been a Ranelagh member since the age of 14. He became
Britain's leading Marathon runner during the 1980s, famously winning the
London Marathon in 1982 in a time of 2:09.24. He represented Britain in the
1984 Olympics, the 1983 and 1987 World Championships, the 1986 European
Championships, the 1981 European Cup and the 1991 World Cup. He also
represented England in the 1980 and 1982 World Cross-Country Championships.
Injuries have restricted his running in recent years and so apart from
visits to measure the course or ride the lead bike at our road races, his
appearances at the club have become rare. I'm very pleased to say,
therefore, that Hugh has agreed to come along to the Roebuck on the evening
of our mob match with Blackheath & Bromley (15th February) and give a talk
about his life, career, training and so on, followed by a Q&A session. The
venue will be the Roebuck's upstairs room and Hugh's talk will begin at
about 7.30pm. All are invited to come along, either just for the talk or to
eat at the pub first.
SOUTH OF ENGLAND CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS
These take place at Parliament Hill (Hampstead Heath) on Saturday 25th
January. Entries have already closed but we will be well represented in the
women's race at 2.05pm and the men's at 2.50pm.
RANELAGH KIT
Our kit stewards Heather Martingell and Jane Craigie-Payne are in the
process of changing our kit supplier to a company called Alley Catz who are
able to produce items on demand, printed with the Ranelagh insignia and
optional personalisation. Members will place their orders direct with Alley
Catz. This will obviate the necessity for us to hold large stocks of kit at
the clubhouse. At the moment the only item available from Alley Catz is a
hoodie but other items will follow shortly. In the meantime we are trying to
sell off some of our existing stocks at bargain prices, particularly larger
sizes. To order a hoodie follow this link:. For details of the other items we want to clear, contact Heather
hmartingell@gmail.com .
MABAC LEAGUE
Note that there has been a change of date for the MABAC League 5 miles that
we host in the Park. It will now take place on Sunday February 16th starting
at 11am from the Broomfield Hill (Isabella Plantation) car park. Details:. Note also the Cranleigh 15 or 21 miles on Sunday
16th March
FINCHLEY 20 miles road race Saturday 9th March
This long-established race - in Ruislip despite the name - incorporates our
club 20 miles championship for the Spendlove Cup and could be of interest to
spring marathoners as a warm-up trial run. Details:.
THAMES TOWPATH 10 miles Sunday 27th April at Chiswick
Entries are now being taken for the always popular Thames Towpath 10 here:.
RANELAGH RICHMOND HALF MARATHON Sunday 4th May
Entries are also coming in for our own Half Marathon. At the moment they
number about 750, so it doesn't look as if we will reach our limit as early
as we did last year, but if you're planning to run it will probably be
advisable to get your name in early. The race includes the Surrey County
Championship. If you're not planning to run, reserve the date anyway - as
ever we'll need plenty of help on the day. Entry details:.
CONGRATULATIONS TO BECKY HALL...

session with other members here:.
THE REAL MARATHON MEN
Dale Lyons has written a book entitled "The Real Marathon Men" He writes:
"This is the story of 42 marathon runners who were created as the
'Ever-presents' by the London Marathon in 1995 after they had run 15
consecutive Londons. Their story is a testimony to a 'never say die' spirit
that has sustained them during the thousands of marathons they have run all
over the world." The 42 includes of course Ranelagh's Mike Peace (still
going strong with 33 Londons now under his belt) and John Hanscomb. The book
will be available this month priced £6.99 + £2.60p&p. For orders contact
Dale Lyons by e-mail dale@5rhg.co.uk or at 5 Richmond Hill Gardens,
Edgbaston Birmingham B15 3RW.
PSP ASSOCIATION
Hilary Saw writes:"This is the association that looks after people with the
disease that killed my husband Peter. I wondered if anyone at Ranelagh might
be interested in running for them and having a entry to the London Marathon
assured thereby? Please contact marathon@pspassociation.org.uk or call
01327 356132. Deadline for entry is 30th January."

MARK SHEARMAN
The name may or may not be familiar but if you read any of the athletics or
running magazines you'll be familiar with his work as the country's premier
athletics photographer. Congratulations go to Mark on being awarded an MBE
for 'services to sports photography' in the recent New Year's Honours.
Following, courtesy of Pete Mulholland, is an appreciation of Mark's award
from the Sports Journalists' Association website:
"Mark Shearman, the first photographer ever to be allowed membership of the
British Athletics Writers' Association, has been covering sport for more
than half a century. Shearman, 70, has covered thirteen Olympic Games in his
career, beginning in Tokyo in 1964, and has been the official photographer
for the national governing body of athletics, and of Athletics Weekly, for
the last four decades. 'If I get through Rio and go on to Tokyo in 2020,
that'll be going full-circle. I doubt if anyone else will manage that,
though I may be using a Zimmer frame by then,' Shearman said.
Shearman first started photographing sport in 1962, when he went to Tooting
Bec track in south London to capture a British record attempt in the pole
vault by Trevor Burton. 'My brother suggested that I send some of my
pictures in to this little magazine,' Shearman said, explaining the start of
a working relationship with AW that has continued, almost uninterrupted,
ever since.'They couldn't have had many pictures sent in that week, because
they used one of mine on the cover.' Shearman's images have graced the cover
of Athletics Weekly, Running Magazine, Runner's World - in the United States
as well as the UK editions - Athletics Today, and the International Track
and Field Annual, and also been used by most national newspapers over the
last fifty years.
'If we ask Mark for a picture of somebody, it's highly unusual for him not
to have one,' Jason Henderson, the editor of Athletics Weekly, said. 'Not
only does he have the skill and experience to know how to consistently get
great photos of an athlete moving at high speed, but he's also
ultra-organised during the countless hours he spends sorting out images away
from the track. Mark has literally been an ever-present at the top British
and international athletics meetings for many years and the New Year honour
is thoroughly well-deserved," Henderson said.

Martin Goodway of the South Surrey Athletics Network sends details of one of
their courses:
"SSAN are holding a course for First Aid suitable for athletics. There are
spaces still available to out of Network clubs at £30/head payable to this
network.
Athletics presents the potential for a wide variety of First Aid situations.
Do you have the confidence to deal with minor injuries? Can you manage
serious injuries until professional help arrives? First aid may be required
at training and during competition. It may be needed by athletes or even
officials and spectators, therefore the more First Aiders we have amongst
our coaches, officials and club volunteers the higher the chance of any
incidents being dealt with in the correct manner. The South Surrey Athletics
Network is delighted to offer a First Aid for Sport course to network
coaches, officials and other club volunteers. Those successfully completing
the course will receive an HSE certificate valid for three years and a First
Aid manual.
Venue: CADAC clubhouse, King's International College, Watchetts Drive,
Camberley, GU15 2PQ

DISSERTATION HELP
Sophie Addis, a student in the Department of Life Sciences at Roehampton
University, is looking for volunteers to help with her dissertation: 'Will
pre-cooling through the means of Ice Slurry be beneficial to running
performance at room temperature (18°c)'.
Sophie writes:
"Volunteers should be involved in physical activity, be fit and healthy,
free from injuries and able to run 5km plus. This study will take place over
three sessions:
Session 1: Height and weight will be measured; familiarisation of the
equipment used for testing - this will be running a 5km time trial on a
treadmill but only at 50% effort. Duration approx 30-45mins.
Session 2: Start with a weigh in, then warm up; consumption of ice slurry
prior to 5km time trial in condition 1 (heat chamber). Variables such as
body temperature will be measured, using a rectal thermometer. Final cool
down. Duration approx 1hr (subject dependant).
Session 3: Start with a weigh in, then.warm up; consumption of ice slurry
prior to 5km time trial in condition 2 (room temperature).Variables such as
body temperature will be measured, using a rectal thermometer. Final cool
down. Duration approx 1hr (subject dependant)."

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
SURREY CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 4th January at Denbies
Vineyard, Dorking
Yet another Atlantic storm ripped into Britain just in time for the county
championships, depositing more rain on already sodden and waterlogged
ground. The course at Denbies Vineyard was unrelenting mud and many runners
came a cropper on the steep climbs and descents. However, it takes more than
mud, gales and torrential rain to put off your average cross-country runner
and there were record fields in several of the races. There's little or no
shelter at Denbies, so applause from all sides went to our supporters
especially women's team manager Phil Aiken who was there braving the storm
from early on Saturday morning.
In the senior women's race there was bad news and good news for Ranelagh.
The bad news came first - Estelle Damant made a 100 miles round trip to be
present, only to cover just about one metre of the course for every mile
travelled. No more than 100 metres from the start she fell heavily, damaged
her knee and had to pull out. This was a great shame, as Estelle had been
running into good form and had beaten today's 6th placer Claire Grima in the
SEAA Inter-Counties last month. For the good news, I'll quote Martin Duff in
Athletics Weekly: "Lily Partridge was with the pace right from the start,
but many watchers wondered about the identity of the Ranelagh runner
matching her stride for stride throughout the first lap. The second lap of
the increasingly muddy course with its hills and slippery descents, saw
Partridge go away from her challenger before finishing full of running 70
metres clear."
The mystery runner was Ranelagh's new recruit Gillian Sanders. Gill is a
member of Chris Owens's triathlon club and competed for South Africa in the
2012 Olympic Triathlon where she finished 19th. She has both British and
South African passports and has been resident in the UK since 2010, which
makes her eligible for the championships. You don't finish so high up in an
Olympic Triathlon without being a top class runner, but Gill is a virtual
novice at cross-country and on such a tough course this was a very
impressive performance indeed. Her silver medal matches those won by Estelle
back in 2011 and Liz Kipling in 2010. Gill's target this year is the
Commonwealth Games Triathlon but in the meantime we hope she'll find time
for another race or two!
Behind Gill, Gemma Cory continued her return to fitness and the team of four
was completed by Julia Bailey and Marie Synnott-Wells, with Wiebke Kortum
and Heather Martingell providing the back-up. They placed 8th out of 18 in
the team race.
In the men's race we were led by a good run from Carl Selya-Hammer who
placed 27th. Mark Herbert, Trevor Maguire, Paul Doyle, Ted Mockett ("7.2
miles of mud, hills, mud and mud. Definitely the muddiest race I've ever
done!") and Dave Lawley closed in the scoring team in 10th place. Another
six followed them in - Mick Lane, Vaughan Ramsay, Stewart Anderson, Alex
Fordham, Mike Peace and Peter Fordham. Mike adds: "After struggling round
the exceptionally muddy Denbies vineyards as slowly as I did - not being
able to stand up for at least 60% of the course - and Peter and I missing
the team photo because we were so late - I was met at the finish by two
young runners. They had finished first and fourth nearly half an hour before
me - the winner being Ian Bailey (AFD - sorry) one of my ex junior school
pupils who first took to running in our after-school running club. After
chatting for a while they announced that they were off for their 'warm down'
whilst I crawled away waist deep in mud - respect!"
Livvy Ricketts was our only competitor in the junior events and she finished
56th in the Under 13s race.
SURREY CROSS-COUNTRY LEAGUES - Men (Div 1) and Women (Div 2) Saturday 11th
January on Wimbledon Common
For the only time this season our men's and women's League teams were
competing at the same venue - Thames Hare & Hounds' course on Wimbledon
Common. It was a beautifully bright and sunny day in a brief interval
between the storms, but the Common was, needless to say, in choice
condition. Runner after runner finished caked in mud and there were more
than a few blooded knees. No serious damage seems to have been done though,
apart perhaps to socks and shoes!
The women were off first and we had a very pleasing turnout of 17 runners
including a couple of newcomers in Ellen Clague and Nic Evans and a welcome
return from Bonnie Webster. Both divisions run together resulting in a total
field today of some 360 runners, and this makes it difficult to calculate
Division 2 scores in isolation while the race is underway. But League
leaders Guildford & Godalming were obviously out in strength again and
looking to cement their lead still more firmly. With our team packing well
we looked good for another 2nd place, though our nearest challengers 26.2
RRC were also well represented.
At the very front of the field the first four unfortunately went off course
on the first of the two laps. The leader Tish Jones of Belgrave lost no time
in redeeming her position and amazingly ran away to a victory by almost a
minute. The other three found it more difficult on the tricky and narrow
course. Luckily the team result was little affected and it was Belgrave who
prevailed again in Division 1. They look to have the title sewn up already.
In Division 2 the Gs (Guildford and Godalming) provided the first two home
and although with not quite as strong a team as in the previous race they
still won comfortably enough. We did indeed fill second place but only by
four points from 26.2 RRC. Barring complete melt-downs in the final race it
will be those three clubs climbing up to Division 1 next season, while in
the relegation zone it's Dorking, Ful-On Tri and Woking who face the
prospect of replacing them in Division 2.
Individually there was a great run from Megan De Silva whose 6th place
despite a sore knee is her best League result to date after 11th and 10th in
the first two races. There seemed to be a bit of a gap before our next
runner, but in fact it only represented ten places. Anna Scally it was who
led in the rest in 16th place with Gemma Cory, Julia Bailey and Marie
Synnott-Wells packing well behind Anna to give us our scoring five all home
by 21st place. Kerrie O'Connor was only half a minute behind Marie and led
our B team (Kerrie, Bonnie Webster, Becky Hall, Victoria Elbourne and Ellen
Clague) into 7th place, beating ten A teams and well clear of all the other
Bs. Similarly our C team (Kirsty Bangham, Heather Martingell, Rachel Revett,
Hannah Doyle and Sally Bamford) was the first C and our incomplete D team
(Nic Evans and Annemarie Goodridge) beat the only other D team on the day!
The final race, where we must secure our runner-up position in the League,
is at Lloyd Park, Croydon on February 8th.
Livvy Ricketts finished exactly mid-field in the Under 13s race, and then it
was the turn of the men, with the course by now well churned up. We had
another great turnout of 32 starters, giving us exactly 50 runners all told
today, not counting the great support we had around the course. Rumour has
it that it's Rob Curtis's cakes that are the real attraction! However, for
once we were put in the shade numerically by Herne Hill Harriers. As part of
their 125th anniversary celebrations (and also in tribute to club doyen Stan
Allen who sadly died the previous week) they set themselves a target of
fielding 125 runners in total across the senior and junior races. They
numbered a remarkable 82 in the men's race alone and altogether they easily
surpassed their target.
In the men's League two teams are relegated and before today we occupied one
of those spots - 8th out of 9 but only 19 points behind South London
Harriers in 7th place. Walton were already waiting for the chop a long way
behind in last place. So for the final two fixtures it was going to be a
battle between ourselves and SLH - or so we thought. Captain K takes up the
story:
"First the league. We were fourth in yesterday's fixture and have moved out
of the relegation zone to 7th in the League! We scored 438 points which is
far, far better than both our previous totals, both nearer 600.
Starting the fixture we were 19 points behind SLH; we are now 19 points
ahead. We were 173 points behind Clapham; we're now just 18 behind. We were
190 points behind Belgrave; we're now 19 behind. So the League position has
been transformed with this fixture. Ordinarily our result would mean we
were out of relegation trouble. But SLH also put in a blinder, with
Belgrave and Clapham tripping up and putting themselves in trouble, so now
four teams are in the mix, with just 38 points between us all.
The rub of it is that if we do well at our final home fixture, it's 5th
place. If we do badly, it's 8th and relegation. I anticipate Belgrave will
turn out their big guns to avoid the Surrey League equivalent of Man United
getting relegated, which leaves Clapham, SLH and us. Of course expect those
two rivals also to field their top teams. What a finish is in prospect!
You can expect me to be chasing the potential scorers to be there in
Richmond Park on 8th February!
Then the mud. Paul Doyle and Trevor Maguire came out looking like bog
creatures having taken a dip in the mud stream. Peter Haarer was bleeding
profusely from the knees (!) Only Josh Mutch managed miraculously to come
through virtually clean. Ranelagh did really well to complete without
serious mishap (as far as I know). Well done everyone - a top result and
one final push required in a month's time."
Richard Gregory ran strongly for 15th place but Eirin McDaid and Josh Mutch
were within half a minute or so. Jackson Creegan and Sam Perkins were in
close order another 40 odd seconds behind, then came the Captain himself
marshalling his troops from the middle ranks. The ever-reliable Peter
Haarer, having missed the first two League races through injury, narrowly
avoided doing himself further mischief but made it to the finish as our 7th
man. Next came Ralph Street - great to see Ralph back in action, even if
below full fitness. Newcomer George Howard, in his first League race, did
very well to make the scoring team and behind him Marc Snaith was the team's
anchor man, just staying ahead of Nick Twomey. Rick Jenner and Trevor
Maguire were also well up in support, finishing within a minute of Nick.
Paul Doyle and Mark Herbert were next, just in front of another club
debutant Richard Warburton. Well done to all those who got round -
particularly Aiah Songu-Mbriwa who - thanks to the long tail of Herne Hill
runners - achieved his ambition of not finishing last!
Not surprisingly Herne Hill Harriers won today but Kent AC hold onto the
overall lead.
