STRENGTH and CONDITIONING SESSIONS
Head coach Karen Weir writes:
"The Ranelagh coaches will be putting on monthly strength and conditioning
sessions on a Tuesday evening after training. These will consist of a few
short but very specific exercises for runners, that can then be repeated at
home. If the weather is good we'll be outside where there is a little more
room, however if it's wet we'll try and cater for as many people in the
clubhouse as possible. Sessions will start at 8.30pm and be led by different
coaches each month. Dates/coaches are as follows:
Tuesday 2nd June - Colin, Michelle and Deborah, 0th June - Wiebke and
Vicci, 28th July - Chris and Peter, 25th August - Karen ".
MAGIC MILE Thursday 21st May at Osterley
David Lawley writes:
"To coincide with the track sessions, and the end of another gruelling block
of training I'm sure, we are once again organising the 'Magic Mile'. We'll
have heats, the start gun, lap counter and bell and some way of recording
your results too. All welcome at Osterley track, 7:30pm.
Details:."
THURSDAY NIGHT TRACK TRAINING AT OSTERLEY
The club is subsidising track sessions on Thursday evenings at the Osterley
track for another three months. All groups and all abilities are welcome.
The sessions are every Thursday 7.30-8.30pm. Link to the map is here:.
MINI MOB MATCH Saturday 13th June at the Kingston parkrun
Our annual parkrun mini mob match against the Stragglers will take place on
Saturday 13th June. It's Stragglers' turn to be "at home" and they have
chosen the Kingston parkrun, which starts and finishes on the towpath close
to the Hawker Centre. As always with mob matches, the more runners we have
the better our chances of success. So if you're running a parkrun that day,
make it Kingston. And if your parkrun registration doesn't currently list
you as Ranelagh, please update it! See below.
parkrun REGISTRATION
If your parkrun registration doesn't already show you as a member of
Ranelagh Harriers, please take a moment to update it. This will ensure your
performances are picked up in the e-news and also that you will count for
Ranelagh if you run in the mini mob match mentioned above. Click on the

WIMBLEDON COMMON TRAIL RACES
Andy Bickerstaff and the Good Run Guide are repeating their series of scenic
summer trail races on Wimbledon Common. The remaining races are on the first
Wednesday of June and July, each starting at 7pm from the Windmill. The next
- on June 3rd - is over 5 miles, while the last on July 1st is over 8 miles.
Details:. Andy adds "All my
helpers get a mug, chocolate, fruit at the race, and pint or glass at the
Telegraph". Contact Andy andy.bickerstaff@goodrunguide.co.uk .
RIVER THAMES HALF MARATHON Sunday 18th October
Roy Reeder of Stragglers writes:
"I'm once again organising the River Thames Half Marathon. The start is in
Walton-on-Thames and a fair bit of the route is along the towpath, so it's
flat, scenic and mostly traffic free. Full details here: I'm offering £4 off the entry
fee to Ranelagh Harriers runners till 18th July. Use the entry code ranh4off at the Sport
Systems store."
GILL SANDERS
The Triathlon season is now well under way and Gill has already enjoyed some
success. Last weekend she represented South Africa in the African and
Pan-Arab Championships which were held at Sharm el Sheikh in Egypt. Gill won
by almost two minutes in a time of 2:06.34. Gill tweeted: "Very happy to
take my fourth African Tri Champs title in a row in a very steamy Egypt
yesterday".
CONGRATULATIONS...
...to Becky Hall and Rob Curtis who have become engaged.
FIXTURES SECRETARY
Andy Woodhouse is standing down as Fixtures Secretary from next year. He
will be doing the job for the 2015/16 winter season, but thereafter we will
need a replacement. Essentially the job entails setting the dates for our
winter fixtures. Some, like area championships and leagues, are fixed for us
and we have to work our domestic fixtures - handicaps, mob matches etc -
around them. If anyone is interested it would be a good idea for him or her
to shadow Andy on this winter's fixtures. Contact Hon Sec Wyn Williams.

EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY STUDY
Ben Williams from St Mary's University writes:
"I am one of the Exercise Physiologists at St Mary's and I was wondering if
any of your members is interested in the following study. The study design
is as follows:
There are a total of 9 trials all on-site at St Mary's University.
Trial one will last approximately 60 minutes and will involve assessment of
body mass, stature and VO2max.
Trial two, three and nine will last approximately 45 minutes and involve a 5
minute warm up followed by a time-to-exhaustion at 80% VO2max at an altitude
of 2500 m.
Trials four to eight will involve receiving one of two vascular occlusion
protocols for five consecutive days, each session lasting no longer than 45
minutes. The session will involve pressure cuffs being inflated around both
thighs (at rest) for 5 minutes and then deflated for 5 minutes. This
procedure will be repeated four times in total on each day.
Upon completion of the study, subjects will receive the results from a
number of physiological tests including (body mass, stature, blood pressure,
body fat %, heart rate training zones and VO2max). In addition, I am happy
to discuss potential ways to enhance training and performance i.e.
(recovery, fuelling and hydration) with anybody who takes part. To take part
subjects must be male and aged between 18-45.
If you'd like to take part or have any questions please let me know, my
email address is as follows: Benjamin.williams@stmarys.ac.uk."
ALEX HALTER
Those members who took part in our regular visits to the Netherlands in the
1980s - including the infamous 4-man 100km relay - will be sorry to hear of
the recent death from cancer of our principal host on those occasions Alex
Halter. Alex was a useful runner, highly regarded as a coach with various
clubs in the Rotterdam area and, taking advantage of his gift with
languages, often acted as courier on marathon tours from the Netherlands. He
was just short of his 69th birthday.

RANELAGH JUNIORS
Check out what's happening in our junior section here:.
STRAGGLERS JUNIOR HANDICAP SERIES
The junior handicap series is held on Thursday evenings between April and
August at the Hawker Centre off Lower Ham Road in Kingston. Remaining dates
are as follows:
Thursday 21st May - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Thursday 11th June - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Thursday 25th June - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Thursday 16th July - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Thursday 27th August - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start
Runners are allotted a start time depending on their previous performances,
with the slower runners starting first. First time runners are given a
handicap according to their age. The course is just over 2 km on the grass
area in front of the Hawker Centre. It consists of four laps of the
perimeter of the grass area, which will be marked out. After the end of the
fourth lap the runners will cross the finish line and go down the finish
funnel in the order in which they crossed the line. New or inexperienced
runners, if they find 2 km a bit far, can run one lap - they will be given a
time, but their results will not count towards any individual or team
scores.
Points are scored for your club according to finishing position and personal
best times. First timers receive a medal for completing the course. In each
race medals are awarded to the first boy and first girl (regardless of their
overall place), and further medals are awarded to the 2nd and 3rd overall
places (whether boys or girls). The overall trophy and shields for first,
second and third places and the team trophy will be presented on the last
Thursday of either September or October. We will announce the actual date as
widely as possible. In order to take part in the junior handicap, entrants
must have a consent and medical form signed by a parent or legal guardian.
See:. Please pre-register with coaches Colin, Heather or Maia.

WHAT'S HAPPENED
******************
RANELAGH RICHMOND HALF MARATHON Sunday 3rd May
We're pleased to report another successful promotion, and our thanks go to
the dozens of members and friends who helped in any capacity on the day, but
particularly to Race Director Sandra Forrest and her organising team for
another highly professional job. A Facebook comment sums it up: "Thanks so
much for a brilliant half marathon today. The marshals were really fantastic
and it's hugely appreciated given the rainy weather."
It had been wet overnight but by the time the race started there was just a
little dampness blowing in the wind. Conditions were really pretty good for
the runners, if less so for the marshals and officials. The course was the
same as usual, with just a slight change to the final half mile, where
runners were taken onto the grass in order to keep Riverside Drive clear.
Some 730 runners were set off at 8.30am sharp and Newham and Essex Beagles'
Jake Waldron lost no time in stamping his authority on the race. He was away
on his own before the first mile had been completed and went on to win by a
comfortable minute and a half from a trio of Hercules Wimbledon runners.
Jake is not a Surrey-qualified runner so the county championship went to
second-placed Dimos Evangelidis.
Ranelagh's leading finisher was Jordan Mungovan in 7th place with a PB of
76.47. Phil Killingley, Steve Whitehead and Ian Kenton (another PB) followed
in close order. Nick Twomey was not far behind approaching the run-in, but
Nick looked very tired and Ted Mockett - yet another PB - swept past to be
our fifth man home in 13th place. In truth Nick had every excuse for looking
tired as he had run a hard Marathon only seven days before - as indeed had
Kris Davidson who nevertheless found enough in his legs to run a sub-80 PB.
Nick and Kris were not the only ones to display rapid powers of recovery -
Stewart Anderson and Simon Martin had also run the London and heroically
turned out again today.
Steve Whitehead was second over 40 in the open race, but took the gold medal
in the M40 county championship. Kris Davidson and Paul Doyle both made the
top ten over 40s, while Richard Holme was 7th in the over 50 class.
Cecilia Siruffo of Guildford and Godalming was the winner of the women's
race, ahead of her clubmate Jennifer Steedman. Ranelagh's leading pair ran
together all the way, but at the finish the unrelenting chip recorded Gemma
Cory an inch or two ahead of Julia Bailey. Louise Piears was our third
finisher just a few metres clear of Mel Davison. Jackie Dunkley and Bronwen
Northmore both made the top twenty in the over 55 category.
Not surprisingly it was Hercules Wimbledon who took the men's team awards,
but Ranelagh placed a good second. In the women's race Stragglers won the
open team awards while Clapham won the county championship.

SUTTON 10km Sunday 10th May
The Sutton 10km, coming as it does just one week after our Half Marathon,
does not usually figure very highly in our list of priority races, despite
the fact that it forms part of the Surrey Road League and our own Grand
Prix. Both competitions allow you to drop your two worst scores, and Sutton
is most often one of those.
Not so this year, however. Our turnout wasn't huge at about a couple of
dozen, but it made its presence felt. Best performance of the day must have
been Megan de Silva's win in the women's section. Her time of 38.59, only
about half a minute outside her PB, brought her home almost a minute clear
of her nearest rival for a most convincing victory. Marie Synnott-Wells was
unaccustomedly beaten into second place in the W45 category but she, Megan
and Becky Hall combined to take the first team prizes.
Not to be outdone, our men also filled the top spot in the team race. Their
event was four to score and the liquid spoils went to Ted Mockett, Steve
Whitehead, Kris Davidson and James Whistler. In what looks to have been a
spectacularly tight finish Ted took 7th place and in the process ducked
inside 36 minutes for the first time. Hot on Ted's heels in 9th place was
Steve Whitehead who was also the second over 40 home. Kris and James
finished in the mid-37s while Jonathan Smith, Mark Herbert and Dave Lawley
were in the low 38s.
LONDON MARATHON Sunday 26th April
The result for our first woman finisher Becky Hall has still not been sorted
out properly. Becky's chip malfunctioned and initially no result was shown
for her. Now she has been credited with 3:05.44. Becky must be very tempted
to settle for that, but the truth is that she timed herself at 3:15.27.
Until we hear different, that's the time we will use for the Ranelagh
records.
We have also discovered a few more Ranelagh juniors in the Boroughs
mini-marathon, as follows:.

WIMBLEDON COMMON TRAIL SERIES - RACE 1 5 miles Wednesday 6th May
This was the first of a series of three Wednesday evening trail races on
Wimbledon Common organised by Andy Bickerstaff and Good Run Guide. A couple
of days before the race Andy had e-mailed final instructions to all
competitors saying that the course was mainly dry - perhaps just a little
mud at the infamous Butts. A couple of days of heavy showers effectively
changed that and it was a typically wet common that greeted the 116
starters. There were still a few spots of rain blowing about as the race
started but they soon disappeared leaving pretty good running conditions.
Clapham Chasers were out in some strength and they provided the individual
winner in Max Lovell. Al Morgan and Mark Herbert were Ranelagh's first two
home in 8th and 9th places. Ranelagh's women flew the flag successfully, led
by Megan de Silva who won two of these events last year (and ran off course
in the third). Megan was the clear winner today by over two minutes. Marie
Synnott-Wells tracked Megan for as long as she could before settling for
second place overall and first over 45. Wiebke Kortum was second over 45 and
Megan, Marie and Wiebke won the women's team prizes. Clapham were first
men's team, followed by Ranelagh in second place. Trevor Maguire, nursing a
knee injury, was the second over 50 home while Bruce McLaren and Peter
Fordham were 3rd over 40 and 3rd over 60 respectively.
The next in the series, another 5 miler, is on Wednesday 3rd June.
