RICHMOND 10km Sunday 21st June
Race Director Rick Jenner writes:
"Our own Ranelagh 10k is less than a month away so if you haven't entered
yet and fancy a fun, fast race by the river don't delay and enter today here:.
Whether you're racing or not we'd really appreciate it if you could spare a
bit of time and help out on the day. If you can please drop Rick Jenner an
email at ranelagh10k@gmail.com with any preferred role, whether you're
running or not and your mobile number."
Entries from Ranelagh alone now total an amazing 86. There's still room for
more and it's great to see so many wanting to run, but it does reduce the
numbers available for marshalling, manning water stations etc. So if you can
help in any capacity please don't hesitate - contact Rick right away!
Following the race, we'll be having our usual barbecue back at the clubhouse
- all welcome.

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

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, 30th June - Wiebke and
Vicci, 28th July - Chris and Peter, 25th August - Karen ".
THURSDAY NIGHT TRACK TRAINING AT OSTERLEY

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."

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 - excepting only
the June 11th event which we are hosting from the Ranelagh clubhouse.
Thursday 11th June - Registration 7 p.m. for 7.30 p.m. start - from the
Ranelagh clubhouse.
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
***************
GREEN BELT RELAY 16th and 17th May
Michelle Davies organised our teams again this year. Michelle reports:
"The 19th Green Belt Relay www.greenbeltrelay.org.uk/ took place
over the weekend of May 16/17 and we were very lucky that the weather was
great - as it has been for us for the last few years! We had two teams out,
sadly only one was a complete team but that didn't matter as we all had a
great time. Ranelagh 1 came 9th, Ranelagh 2 were disqualified for being
incomplete.
We had strong performances from almost all runners and some very funny
incidents of people getting lost, the best one being Vaughan Ramsay who
specifically asked to run the same leg as last year so that he could 'master
it'... then proceeded to get lost and ran over 2 miles more than he should
have! There are so many nice stories and we had great fun, if you look on
our Facebook pages and the GBR Facebook page you will see our pictures and
videos.
We had no stage winners this year though there were some near misses -
including Vaughan again who went off course when leading stage 20! Our one
success by proxy came from Steve Whitehead who won the penultimate stage -
but in the colours of the Stock Exchange team.
I think the key messages we want to get out are:
1. It is an event for all abilities and ages and a fantastic opportunity to
run some challenging and beautiful legs.
2. We really want more teams next year so please please look at the GBR
www.greenbeltrelay.org.uk/ website. The dates for next year are
May 21/22 and Ashleigh Ferris and Leeanne Bryce are going to be organising
it for Ranelagh.
3. Everyone has great fun and thanks to the efforts of the team captain and
the drivers (particularly Dave Lawley for sorting the mini bus) no one has
to worry about transport and the costs are kept as low as possible."
Leeanne Bryce adds:
"It was a fantastic event and Michelle has done a stellar job at organising
the event over the last few years - it is especially a fantastic social
event and as a slower runner or new Ranelagh member it's an opportunity to
get to know people at all levels of the club and I know other clubs such as
Chasers use this as their official club social weekend. Anyone interested in
next year's race can drop me or Ashleigh an email and we will also set up a
Facebook invitation group in the next few weeks. Contact liane22@gmail.com
or ashleigh.ferris@haymarket.com."

anyone has any idea how I can run it in 3:22:30, 43 seconds faster than a
flat London which I specifically trained for I would love to know!!! Turns
out it was my second fastest marathon ever after 34 attempts. Feeling
chuffed!"

THAMES HARE & HOUNDS 22nd PARKLAND RELAYS Wednesday 20th May in Richmond
Park
Peter Fordham reports:
"14 clubs, 40 ladies teams, 45 men's teams, over 300 runners....this sums up
the status of this competitive, but social summer evening in the Park. Clubs
from all around South London were represented with each runner completing a
2.8 mile loop through the middle of the park.
Ranelagh entered one team for the ladies with new member Elisa Ferrua
leading the way for the club in 21.25, followed by Jo Sinton-Hewitt and
Cathy Holman. The team finished in 33rd place out of 40. The men's 'A' team
of Nick Twomey, David Lawley, Mark Herbert and Vaughan Ramsey achieved a
highly creditable 9th place out of 45 with Nick 13th fastest individual on
15.26.
Competition for the 'A' team may increase next year as Paul Sinton-Hewitt
and Colin Brett, both running for the Vets, posted times worthy of the
fourth place in the senior 'A' team. The Vets 'A' placed 22nd overall and
the Vets 'B' comprising three over 60's plus Bruce McLaren who had completed
the Richmond Park Marathon only three days previously, placed 39th out of
the 45 teams.
Put in your schedule ... it's hard to think of a better summer inter-club
event... the third Wednesday of May 2016."

MAGIC MILE Thursday 21st May at Osterley
David Lawley reports:
"28 braved the inevitable lung burn and coughing fits to speed around
Ranelagh's new permanent weekly track fixture at Osterley and try their hand
at another 'Magic Mile', Ranelagh's third in fact.
In each of the five heats there were pb's, excellent times and great races.
Stand-out performances were two first sub 5 mins for Ted and Dave. Ted was
drafting until he took off on his trademark strong finish, timed perfectly
with 200m to go, and recorded the fastest time of the evening (4:55). Wiebke
Kortum was the fastest woman on 6:21, while Rachel Revett (7:02) was
agonisingly close to smashing sub 7, with the help of pacer Becky Hall, but
still knocked 6s off last year's time. Cathy Holman not only recorded a huge
new PB (30s) but also baked some delicious cakes.
A lovely sunny and fun evening and thanks to Rob Curtis for helping time and
press the trigger.
For those that missed out Karen Weir aims to incorporate more mile efforts
at the end of her excellent blocks of track training, which has now been
extended to the end of the year, so fear not you too can experience the burn
and coughing soon and challenge yourself at this iconic distance."

STRAGGLERS JUNIOR HANDICAP SERIES RACE 2 Thursday 21st May at the Hawker
Centre, Ham
There were 75 starters in the main race, 18 of them representing Ranelagh.
21 of the runners were first-timers and so were given estimated handicaps.
Most of these came in towards the head of the field but as first timers were
not included in the reckoning for "first gal" and "first lad" who actually
crossed the line down in 13th and 14th places. Both of these were
representing the "Flaming Penguins" school team, which took not only the top
two places in the handicap but also third and fourth as well. This gave them
an unassailable lead in the team scoring, where they totalled 50 points to
Ranelagh's 25. Overall after two races the two teams are level on 66 points.
The fastest boy and girl look to have raced together all the way, with
Matthew O'Donovan of St Andrew's and St Mark's crossing the line one second
ahead of Poppy Jensen who was representing Stragglers, although she is also
a Ranelagh member. First finisher representing the blue and gold was Molly
Stewart in 22nd place, just ahead of Connor Clarke, Matthew Beal, Francesca
Baty-Symes and then a steady stream of Ranelaghs.
Fastest Ranelagh times, apart from Poppy, were set by Euan Sinclair and
Kabir Sait who were two of only five in total to beat the 8 minutes barrier.
Frida Roper on 8.34 led home three more Ranelagh inside 9 minutes.
The next event will be on Thursday 11th June from the Ranelagh clubhouse
rather than the usual Hawker Centre venue.

SURREY TRACK CHAMPIONSHIPS Saturday 23rd May at Kingsmeadow
Sacha and Léonie Kennedy represented Ranelagh in the U15 Girls 1500m,
finishing 10th and 12th in their heat with times of 5:34.12 and 5:42.36
respectively.
WESTMINSTER MILE Sunday 24th May
A handful of Ranelaghs took part, possibly more than we have found results
for. Dave Lawley ducked inside 5 minutes and Grace Munro ran well to finish
second in the 17 years category. There were different waves, so the results
shown below are simply in speed order.
Dave Lawley 4.57
Paul Sinton-Hewitt 5.29
Grace Munro 6.32
Andrew Brown 6.54
Jo Sinton-Hewitt 7.03
Alan Davidson 7.12
BUPA LONDON 10km Monday 25th May
The BUPA London 10km - incorporating the UKA Championships - has become one
of the classiest races in the calendar. This year Andy Vernon ran a
world-class 28.38 in winning the race, pulling ten more runners home inside
30 minutes and another twenty-one inside 31 minutes. None of those were
representing Ranelagh but we didn't have to wait too long before Eirin
McDaid appeared, crossing the line in a PB 33.25. Eirin writes on Facebook:
"First 10K in 10 months done and dusted, 33.25. BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely delighted with my run this morning, finishing 91st overall, top
100 out of 12,000 runners but more pleased about the way I ran the race with
a 16.50/16.35 split for my two 5Ks, second half was so much fun and felt so
strong."
Richard Gregory headed Eirin at half-way but a little short of top fitness
he faded slightly in the second 5km and finished six seconds behind Eirin.
James Whistler was next, running a huge PB of 35.38 - his first time inside
37 minutes, let alone 36. Kris Davidson just missed 36 but his 36.04 was
another PB and placed him 20th over 40. Then came another sub 37 PB from
Jonathan Smith.
Megan de Silva was the next Ranelagh finisher, with a fine well-judged run
to provide us with yet another PB. Megan was the 50th woman home in 38.05
after passing half way in 19.02. Liz Kipling ran negative splits and
finished 70th overall in the women's race, and 5th over 40. Her 38.59 was
well outside her very classy PB but was nevertheless her fastest time for
four years. Co-incidentally, so was Marie Synnott-Wells's 40.28. Marie
placed third in the over 50 category. Women's team results - three to count
- have yet to be confirmed but it looks like we just missed the top ten.
Richard Holme, Julia Bailey and Deepa Sharma all look to have set PBs too -
a very successful day for Ranelagh!
