always, we will be looking for 80+ helpers to make the event a success. if
you are able to help I'd be very grateful if you could let me know as soon
as possible, so that I can start the planning process.
If you can help, I'd appreciate if you could include the following
information in your reply:
1. Time you are available (we need help from around 7.30 through to
midday)
2. Preferred jobs / locations
3. Whether you have transport and would be willing to move between posts.
4. Your mobile phone number (even if you've supplied it to me before)
You all did such a good job of looking after and motivating the runners last
year, I do hope many of you will be able to help again this year"

RUNNING TECHNIQUE WORKSHOP
Karen Weir writes:
"I am organising a Running Technique Workshop on Sunday 29th March 12-2pm.
Learn that running is a skill and how you can both improve your performance
and reduce your injury risk. Suitable for runners of all abilities. The
workshop is based on drills and exercises rather than lots of running, so if
you need to do a long run in the morning first, that's fine. The workshop
includes video analysis and individual feedback based on the five key areas
of running technique. It's based at The Training Works at 120 St Margarets
Road, Twickenham TW1 2AA. Cost is £30 per person. For more details check out
my website:
or get in touch karen@runwithkaren.com."
ON THE RUN
Thanks to Pete Mulholland for unearthing this, a 20 minutes documentary on
some of the great New Zealand runners coached by the legendary Arthur
Lydiard who was largely responsible for the amazing success of Kiwi middle
and long distance runners in the 1960s and 70s. Her'’s the synopsis for the
film which was made in 1979:
"This film showcases legendary running coach Arthur Lydiard's training
methods through the example of his acolytes, including reigning Olympic
1,500m champ John Walker. 'Arthur's boys' (Snell, Halberg, Magee) scored
attention by winning unheralded medals (two golds and a bronze) at the 1960
Rome Olympics. Lydiard later led the 'flying Finns' to similar success. His
method revolves around building stamina to complement speed, and was
influential in popularising jogging globally. Beautifully filmed, a doco
highlight is Jack Foster's exhilarating scree slope descent " Video:.
SIMON MARTIN
Simon writes: "I'm in Mongolia currently and have done a number of tough
runs in the Gobi Desert at about 1,500m altitude. In the winter conditions
are brutal - temperatures while I've been running have been between -15 to
-25 degrees C. The stunning steppe, sand dunes and mountains are a great
motivation though to brave the weather "
TOILETS IN THE PARK
From March 23rd there will be a 20p charge for using the toilets at Kingston
Gate, Ham Gate, Richmond Gate?Robin Hood Gate and Sheen Gate. There will be
no charge at other toilets in the park, for example at Petersham Gate

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
INTER-CLUB RACE including ELLIS CUP, DYSART CUP, HEC PETERSEN TROPHY and
CLUB JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIPS 3.8 miles Saturday 7th March in Richmond Park
There was a lot going on today! No fewer than four separate races in one.
Unable to find a satisfactory date for the Ellis and Dysart Cups in their
usual pre-Christmas slot, we experimented with moving them to this
traditionally low-key end of season race. We'd already re-instituted our
junior championships for this event too, and then we had to schedule in the
Hec Petersen Tropy between ourselves and Ealing after the original fixture
at the Bank of England had been cancelled. The result was a field of well
over a hundred tackling one lap of our mob match course.
Apart from ourselves, the biggest contingent came from the armed forces club
Milocarians. As has become customary they bolstered their ranks with a
sizeable squad form the Sandhurst Royal Military Academy. It was one of
their number, Robbie Sayer, who tried to run away in the early stages but
recent Hercules signing Dimos Evangelidis was biding his time and came
through to win by 9 seconds. Also biding his time was Ted Mockett who was
well back at the start but then raced through like a ....well, you know
what. Ted finished 4th, Kris Davidson was 9th, then Dave Lawley, Duncan
Mallison, Stewart Anderson and Richard Kennedy closed in our team of six for
the men's Ellis Cup. Milocarians retained the trophy easily enough, ahead of
Hercules Wimbledon and ourselves in third place. Behind us were Stragglers,
Serpentine and Ealing. Ealing's relatively weak team made sure that we would
win back the Hec Petersen Trophy.
Six clubs were represented in the women's race for the Dysart Cup, but owing
to the low number of runners from several clubs the team scoring was a
rather unsatisfactory 2 a side. Serpentine's Liz Wynne was the individual
winner but Becky Hall 2nd and Sacha Kennedy 4th ensured that Ranelagh
retained the trophy. Bonnie Morgan, Wiebke Kortum and Leonie Kennedy also
made the top ten.
In the club junior championships, Euan Sinclair took the Lotinga Cup ahead
of his brother Finlay and Jonny Brook. The Camilla Cup went to Sacha Kennedy
with her sister Leonie in second place and Livvy Ricketts third.
CLUTTON CUP 10 miles handicap Saturday 14th March in Richmond Park
" This year I mean business ", said Heather Martingell. She had just
demonstrated the fact by running away with a five minutes win in the Clutton
Cup. True, Handicapper Angus conceded that he had underestimated Heather,
but there was no denying that look of steely determination on her face as
she set off on her second lap with hardly a moment to spare for the usual
cheery grin and wave. Bert Grieco and Michele Gibson were Heather's nearest
challengers but she had soon left them in her wake on her way to an
excellent victory.
It was good to see 32 members taking numbers for the Clutton on a bright but
chilly March afternoon. Katie Walton was first away and disconcertingly for
scratch man Phil Killingley Katie had completed her first 5 miles lap before
Phil had been set on his way. Katie must have held on to the lead for a good
part of her second lap too but she had no defence against the Martingell
onslaught. Bert and Michele held on for second and third places and they too
were well clear of their nearest pursuers. Ian Kenton led the rest, setting
an outright 10 miles personal best of 59.54. This was good for second
fastest of the day, behind Phil Killingley's 59.10. Third best was Ted
Mockett on 60.48. Fastest woman was Becky Hall on 70.36, ahead of Wiebke
Kortum's 75.07 and Louise Piear's 80.38.
MARITZBURG MARATHON Saturday 21st February in Pietermaritzburg, South
Africa
Lloyd Camp reports:
" I ran the Maritzburg Marathon in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa, in a quiet
4.12, having completed the Dusi Canoe Marathon (120km of white water
paddling and rough country portaging a racing kayak) over the previous three
days in a total time of 13h30. So much for resting before a big event. The
race was run in 30 C and high humidity, therefore starting at 05h00. All
done by breakfast! I wore the Ranelagh shirt of course, and it elicited
some queries and conversations along the way. Looking forward to some cool
weather running in the UK in April "
The winner represented Orion AC - a local club and nothing to do with Orion
Harriers, so far as we know!

CAU INTER-COUNTIES CROSS-COUNTRY CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 7th March at Cofton
Park, Birmingham
In the Under 13 Girls race Izzy Atkins finished an excellent 24th out of a
field of 305 runners. She was second home for Middlesex, who finished just
out of the team medals in 4th place. Estelle Damant ran well for 97th in a
field of 275 in the Senior Women’s race. Sadly after one drop-out the Surrey
team failed to close in a full complement of six runners and so were
unplaced despite providing the individual winner.

KINGSTON BREAKFAST RUNS Sunday 15th March
We had quite a crowd at the Breakfast Runs, with the biggest contingent

won the 20 in fine style by over a minute. Amelie Hunton was 21st in the
women's race. Rachel Rowan was 8th in the 8 miler.

FINALLY...
95-year-old Charles Eugster set a new world record for his age group in the
200 metres at the indoor British Masters in London last week. The former
dentist recorded an astonishing 55.48 seconds. It may be only 200 metres but
that represents 7:20 miling pace! http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02lmykh.
Wally Garrod adds:
" There has been much made on the news of the 95 year old breaking the world
record for 200 metres. Perhaps you could mention our own veteran record
holder Chalkie White (now gone to the great running track in the sky), who
in the 1980s won national and European medals on the track and country. In
1990 he won the national over 85 cross-country title. And not forgetting
others like Bob Maslin, Bill Harvey, Margaret Auerback, Martin Clark and
Alan Howard "
