such as road events organised under UKA rules. The rules cover club members
from the under 13 age group upwards. Race applications will include the
requirement for individual's England Athletics registration number.

IRON DEFICIENCY
Georgie Bruinvels writes:
"I am currently studying for a PhD at UCL looking predominantly at iron
deficiency in athletes, with a particular focus on the female athlete. I am
looking for any females who may be suffering from iron deficiency to be part
of a study based at St Mary's University, Twickenham. We have found that
this is a massively under recognised condition particularly affecting
females (of all performance levels). The study will involve a number of
exercise tests (including a VO2 max), followed by full iron replacement
(this can now be given as a injection, one year's worth of iron safely in
15-30 mins - we do this regularly) before retesting to see if iron
replacement increases fitness. Please contact me if you are interested or
would like to hear more, my email address is georgie.bruinvels.14@ucl.ac.uk.

Peter Fordham writes:
"I am again organising the men's entries for the annual Parkland Relays in
Richmond Park. This is one of the best summer events in the area, where 100
teams from the major clubs in the area compete in a 4-leg relay of about 2.9
miles. It starts at Spankers Hill Wood and near to Pen Ponds car park. Last
year we put up three teams, with our 'A' team coming a creditable 9th
overall. Let's see if we can beat the turnout and positions this year. As
demand from clubs is high, please let me know as soon as possible if you can
run, so that I can secure team entries. It's open to all and anyone who
thinks they cannot make it by 7pm can be accommodated on one of the later
stages."

WHAT'S HAPPENED
***************
FULLERS THAMES TOWPATH 10 miles Sunday 17th April at Chiswick
We had 38 runners in the ever-popular Towpath 10 - not bad at all
considering that we had another dozen or so essaying the Brighton Marathon
on the same day and twice that number readying themselves for the following
week's "London". Of course, there wouldn't be any doing both...would there?
Well, yes there would.
Richard Gregory was regal today, winning by over a minute, and then went on
to enjoy a fast and very negative splits "fun run" in London - see the
report below. Richard's 55.17 was the fastest winning time on this course
since 2010. Also doubling up was Kris Davidson - a PB 59.41 in 9th place
today and 2:53 in the Marathon. Splitting Richard and Kris was Steve
Whitehead on 58.36, and he and Kris were the leading two over 40s. Right
behind Kris - and with a faster chip time - was James Whistler giving us
four home in ten and assuring us of the team prizes. Mark Herbert (60.28)
and Dave Lawley (61.41) were next in - probably a PB for Mark, definitely so
for Dave. Then came Chris Bundhun, our last finisher before Megan de Silva
whose 62.48 was a little outside her best but was good enough to give her
first place in the women's race by the best part of two minutes. Marie
Synnott-Wells was our next woman home, chased hard by Michelle Davies, both
just inside 70 minutes. Fourth in for Ranelagh was Heather Martingell,
another who finished both this race and the London Marathon. The three Ms -
Megan, Marie and Michelle - ensured that we won the women's team race too.
This and any Spring Marathon formed the first two races in our 2016 Road
Grand Prix. Richard Gregory and Kris Davidson are of course top of the Open
class while Rebecca Northmore and Megan de Silva are joint top of the
women's section. Full scoreboard here:. There are already over 70 names on
the list.
LONDON MARATHON Sunday 24th April
In the days leading up to the 24th, bookies were setting odds on whether
this might turn out to be the first white London Marathon in its 36 years
history. It was certainly cold when runners and spectators rolled out of
their cots on Sunday morning and it was raining a chill and penetrating
rain. But gradually things brightened up and by the time the very select
women's elite group was set on its way at 9.15, conditions were pretty good,
notwithstanding a brief hailstorm after two or three miles had been covered.
The main field set off in pursuit at 10am bathed in sunshine even if it was
still not very warm.
Both races quickly developed into the now-familiar pattern of an exclusively
African race at the front and the rest fighting over the minor places. The
men's pace was furious. London isn't generally reckoned to be the world's
fastest course, with its twists and turns and frequent headwinds in the
closing stages, but clearly nobody told Eliud Kipchoge. Unbeaten in a
Marathon for three years, Kipchoge led a small pack of Kenyans, Ethiopians
and Eritreans following the world record pace being set by the three
designated pacemakers. Two of the three didn't last too long but one
anonymous hero was still there at halfway (61.24) and beyond. A new world
record of 87.13 for 30km was set by Kipchoge and his one remaining rival
Stanley Biwott. Kipchoge's 25th mile occupied only 4.39 and that was enough
to put paid to Biwott's challenge. Kipchoge powered home, his elation in
winning tempered by the realisation that his finishing time of 2:03.05 was
just 8 seconds outside the world record.
The pace at the head of the women's race was never going to threaten the
world record - but that comes as no surprise. Today's female marathoners are
as far away now from Paula Radcliffe's wonderful 2:15.25 than they were on
the day she ran it back in 2003. Nevertheless, they were not slouching -
2.19 pace to begin with, before easing back to 70.45 at half way with a
group of eight still in contention. The decisive moment came at about 35k
not with a burst for home but with a tangling of legs that put three of the
lead pack on the floor. Included amongst them was pre-race favourite Mary
Keitany. She never got back into the race and eventually jogged home in 9th
place. The worst damage seemed to be to the relatively little-known Kenyan
Jemima Sumgong who suffered a bad graze to her forehead. Maybe that gave her
the extra dose of adrenaline she needed, as she quickly made up the lost
ground and then held off the attack from Ethiopia's Tigist Tufa before
romping home with five seconds to spare in 2:22.58.
For the Ranelagh spectators there was a surprise in store, for the first
club vest that appeared contained a runner unknown to most of us. However,
the mystery man clearly meant business, passing through 10km in sub-35
minutes and halfway in 75.38. This, we later learned, was visiting Kiwi
Richard Swan. Had his start been perhaps a little over-ambitious? By 25km he
was beginning to struggle. He held on to the leading Ranelagh spot through
to about 32km or 20 miles, but was powerless to hold off the well-oiled
machine that is Carl Selya-Hammer. Carl has shown fine pace judgement
before, but today he held a master class. Look at his 5k splits: 18.22,
18.41, 18.40, 18.39, 18.26, 18.31, 18.29 and 18.39. Then 8.16 for the final
2 and a bit km carried Carl home in a PB 2:36.43 and he will be rewarded
with the Winter Cup as the club Marathon champion. "Life goal accomplished.
Overwhelmed by all the support and kind words," said Carl on Facebook.
Richard Swan rallied at the end but just failed to break 2.40.
Third Ranelagh man home was Richard Gregory, who seemed to be having great
fun. He pootled along for the opening few miles at what for him was scarcely
more than jogging pace. As half way approached the brakes started to be
released and his 5km splits dropped from 21.00 (10-15k) to 20.30 and then
19.23. He passed half way in 1:27.57 and as he flew past crowds of slower
runners the 5ks came down to 18.55, 18.22 and finally 17.57 followed by 7.41
for the run-in. Richard's final time was 2:45.51, a negative split by some 8
minutes.
Kris Davidson was looking good at half way and though struggling a bit
towards the end he should be well pleased with his 2:53.24. Nick Twomey was
another man who went out hard and was keeping company with Carl through 10k.
Then "Both hamstrings tightened up at 8 miles but I kept trying as hard as I
could. Proud to say I kept going and came in sub 3 hours...keep believing
and you'll keep achieving! Those with any doubt that I didn't give my all
today will be proven wrong by the fact I ended up in the medical tent after
finishing! Great support from everyone, absolutely humbled and grateful for
all the cheering." That was it for sub-3 hours today, though Nick Wright
missed it by just 38 seconds. Bil Neely was next at 3:19.13, then there were
eight more men inside 4 hours, some first-timers, some PBs.
Amongst them was Mike Peace, one of only twelve "ever-presents" who have
finished all 36 London Marathons. Congratulations Mike! BBC TV's Breakfast
programme featured the "ever present" story and Mike was on the guest sofa
on the Wednesday before the race. Other programmes, both radio and TV, then
picked up on the story and for a few days Mike was quite the media darling.
Here he is on BBC Sport's "Get Inspired":.
An interesting race was expected for the Ranelagh women's championship, and
so it proved. Ellen Clague and Suzy Whatmough set the pace and passed
through 10k almost together just outside 49 minutes. Wiebke Kortum,
meanwhile, was happy to bide her time and came through already 90 seconds
down. In the lead-up to the race Ellen had acquired a shin injury which she
feared would affect her race. Here she is on Facebook: "Ironically, my shin
didn't bother me at all; I was feeling good and right on target when at
around 11 miles my left hamstring suddenly seized up and never got better. I
seriously considered dropping out around mile 13 but decided to hang on.
Ended up walking for about 3 miles. It was the longest, most painful test of
endurance! The crowds were great though and I appreciated all the friendly
faces encouraging me not to give up! That's the London spirit!" With Ellen
effectively out of the running, Suzy led through half way two and a half
minutes clear of Wiebke. But Wiebke had attended the same school of Marathon
strategy as Carl. She churned out the miles at metronome pace and inexorably
closed down on Suzy, who was beginning to struggle. By 35km the fight was
over and Wiebke strode on to cross the line in 3:33.58. Here are her 5km
splits: 25.28, 25.11, 25.36, 25.39, 25.31, 25.20, 25.18 and (her fastest!),
25.10. Here's Wiebke: "Thanks everyone for the fantastic support today.
Whenever my mind and body were weakening another friendly face appeared.
Feeling very grateful. Lots of love - this has been an especially happy day
for me".
Suzy finished in 3:42.26 and had the consolation of setting a big PB.
Heather Martingell was next home, missing 4 hours by a frustrating 3
seconds. "A runner took me out on Narrow Street," she said."I ended up flat
on my face. Spectators helped me back to my feet. A kiss from Kirsty's mum
and dad helped me back on my way. Battered and bruised but finished. Thanks
to all support out there on the course". Ellen made it home a few minutes
later and then came Lindsey Simmons and Karima Graham.
There was a record 39,104 finishers out of 39,523 starters.
Ranelagh was well represented in the Mini Marathon with at least fifteen
taking part in the various age groups. Izzy Atkins was the highest placed,
6th in the Girls Under 15, with Sacha and Léonie Kennedy and Josie Kearey
chasing her home. Izzy's brother Greg was 22nd in the Boys Under 17 and Tom
Bradley was 62nd. Lydia Louw and Poppy and Maisie Jensen ran in the Girls
Under 13 race, while Euan Sinclair and Kabir Sait competed in the Boys Under
13. We had four runners in the Girls Under 17, with Jess Harbert 13th,
Hannah Keating 36th, Cecily Day 43rd and Ellie Luxmoore 81st.

BRIGHTON MARATHON Sunday 17th April
There were some good runs at Brighton, led by a sub-3 from Colin Brett and a
sub-3.30 from Rebecca Northmore. Bruce McLaren writes on Facebook: "Nailed
it! 6 years after joining Ranelagh I finally get a marathon PB. Smashed it
by 6 mins. Great run, negative splits (!) and Brighton is a great course.

BOSTON MARATHON Monday 18th April
Jonathan Smith reports on Facebook:
"Obviously 3.11 was really disappointing but didn't prepare well enough for
the heat (hotter than forecast) and suffered badly with cramp for last ten
miles. Schoolboy error. Have to say though anyone who has got the time
should come and do Boston - it's incredible. Everyone talks to you about it,
every shop has signs about it, even the little Uber taxis are branded blue
and yellow on the app! The organisation is sensational, the drive out on an
American school bus and the giant village at the start are unforgettable.
The whole course is packed with supporters and it genuinely feels like every
runner in the world has descended on Boston. Amazing experience and
hopefully will be back one day."

STRAGGLERS / RANELAGH JUNIOR HANDICAP SERIES Race 1 Thursday 21st April at
the Hawker Centre
There were 89 runners in the main event, 14 of them representing Ranelagh,
but they faced no fewer than 23 from their close rivals from last year, the
Flaming Penguins team. As usual at the beginning of the season the front of
the race was dominated by first-timers, who are given a standard handicap
based on age. The first 24 home were all first-timers, and then amongst
those with "proper" handicaps it was the Flaming Penguins who fared best.
They amassed a total score of 49 points, with Ranelagh back in third place
on 20 points and a lot of catching up to do.
The consolation for Ranelagh was that we dominated the list of the fastest
boys. Will and Joe Murphy were first and second respectively with excellent
times of 7.03 and 7.25. Tom Armstrong was next on 7.32 and he was followed
by Noah Heron-Brett, Dylan Gilmore, Luke Maguire and Daniel Rushby all in
the top eight. Sad to relate we had only two girls taking part but Afrah
Sait and Frida Roper both ran well, Frida's 8.28 making her third fastest
girl.
