NE NOTES

BEn'YPROUD OF HER VEST

THOSE who say that • Scotland runn_ing vcstdoesn 'tmean so much th0$e days had better step ll!ide ir putting the point ID Betty May, the diminutive Aberdeen AAC nmner who has beromc something or a local hero in the tiny Grampian village ofBoddam. near Peterhead.

Belt)'. yet another runner who "found" the span late in lire with the oo~ing help of Mel Edwards. was speechless when she learned that she had been called into the Scotland ovcr-50 women• steam for the Home Countries veterans' international.

Not that she knew anything llbout it until 9pm the previous cvcningt

She was out visiting a friend when former Aberdeen AAC president Ian Morrison and a Scotland team official first tried to pass on the news that she had been seJectcclas a late replacement owing to injuries in the Scottish nlllks.

Having been tracked down, Betty finally came to terms with her promotion to sl&ldom and fmished the race with the kind of smile that reflected her pride in wearing the dark blue VCSL

Ncwsofherunexpoctcdhonour will go down particularly well in Hardwick. Vcrmon~ where Beuy. brother BiU ,ande~ileoousin George Hay arc something or local celebrities for the pan they played in organising and raising funds for a memorial lD James f . Fl.'(x, the famous author and run.ru:r whose "The Complete Book of Running" stirred Sony's initial in!CrC$t in the spo!L

BeuyandBill werconavisit&o cousin George's Hardw'ick home when Fixx collapsed anddieddllriJ18 an early morning run through the viU,.geStreets in 198!.Thcydccided lha.t there should be a Jastjng monument to him.

Several fund-raising cffons in the Nonh-east or Scotland cnablod lhc Mays to commission a suitably inscribed memorial which was dedicated. to a background of pipe music,duringBillandBetty'sretum visit in July of 1988.

And it was typic~ orBeuy and Bill's generosity that they should alsonisecnoughto purchase a silver trophy -theJames F. F"ixxMemorial Trophy • for athletics competition

10

at 1 Hardwick school and to give donations to 1 number of local organisation.~.

Given the effort she put into that "international" running event it is perhaps only appropriate that the non·stop Betty May deserved her own moment of Soonish pride when lhe best of the British vets visited Aberdeen.

Clyne's worries behind him

FRASER CLYNE dcparUXI for a sixth run in the Californian lnlemational Marathon in Sacramento on the bac,k or Black Isle marathon and Glen Cl ova HaJC­Marathon vict.ories.

But Clyne' s biggest boost came from the knowledge that he had shaken off the inj uries which plagued his running efforts for a full 18 months.

Speaking on the eve of his dcpanu1erora IOKinSanFrancisoo en route to Sacramento, Clyne said: "l know it is tempting providence, but I really feel I have put all my worries behind me."

The turning poin~ he revealed. e-.ame the day before his victory in the Black Isle event. Taking a specialist's advice, Clyneplwidered a mixture of massage oils to creat a troublesome foot injury to a halr hour non-stop session.

'"ldo,n'tknow if! struck a magic formula. but the foot never troubled me at any tim.e during the race and has never troubled me since.

.. It is a great relief to be able to go out and do some decent running without worrying about the injury." added the town planning officer who at one time feared he had a stress fracture.

Adrrutting th11 he could have used another month to reach peak fi tness for his first major marathon in two years, Clyne flew out for the States knowing that he would come up against a very determined Englishman.

Karl Thackery was heading for Sacramento with the declared intent or posting 1 time which would book his marathon place in Barcelona.

'Tm not going to make the mistalce or chasing a man with t.hal aim in mind, .. s:Ud Clyne who was looking forward to revisiting I.he scene of his personal best of 2-11-\ j set in 1984.

METRO KEEP THEIR NAME

ABERDEEN Metro have reached the end of Lheir two yeat spon.sorship deal with a ciry hotet

But tbc:rc wo,n 't be an immediate name change.

Explained a club spokesm,an; "We've viewed the issue from aU angles but decided to stick with the Metro tag in the intcrcsl of continuity,''

The spokesman added: ''We have had several tcnrativcenquiries about the possibili ty o f club sponsorship, but the figures don't add up to what we sec as a realistic swn."

The name tag was I.he subject of some discussion at lhe club's ag.m when Rob Taylor was re-elected club eapuin with Charlie Benzics continuing as club ~ccretary.

A 90-strong membership reOects the succc.ss whjch oou1d sec them ••tend a growing link with events such as the Asda Dyce Half Marathon.

Metro, who also organise cross country relays, have been approached to do the same job for a local hill race and have set their sights on staging a women's-only event in 1992.

And lherewu asigniCicMt link with Aberdeen District Council when two club runners · Steve Willox and John Buehon -performed the torch-bearing duties ata ceremony to mark the end of the city' s Year or Sport in early O.CCmbcr.

GRAM PAIN SUPPORTS LIZ

GRAMPIAN Television did not have to look rat to find someone with a running connection to announce their£2.'i,000baclcing for Lit McColganduringOlympicycar.

Alistair Oracie, head or news and current affairs, ls no suanger to the Nonh-cast cross country scene ~ a rcgu lar c:ompeti 1.or in the popu Jar Bank of Scotland castles setics.

BuLAlistair. whoncgotiaUXI the agreement which involves Liz featuring in two exclusive programmes for the Aberdeen station, though• bcu.crof setting his series medals ag:Unst the gold Liz won in Tokyo.

He said; ··r think it is filling that we should give our large.st·cvcr sponsorship in suppon of a winner like Liz and that we should be making the te]evision program.mes thaL record her preparations and. hopefully, her success in 1992. ..

The sponsorship was fonnally presenUXI "' Lit on the stage of Dundee"s Caird Hall during the recording of a speical show to mark the city"s 800th anniverslll)' and 30 years of Grampim Television.

HOW LUCKY WEARE

TRIPLE world veteran champion Sally Yowig was singing the praises of Scotland after holding the strong challenge of Christine Price to win the Home Countries Vet1i Intcmationa.1 women's SOOm for England •t Aberdeen.

The mother.of. two from

Christine Prlu Dorking revealed she was making her first trip north or the border but promised it would bot be her last.

"What a fanwtic country for training space:· said Sally on the strength of a pre-race stay in the Nonh-east village of St Combs -before moving on lO Crieff for a second break before returning south.

"1 really envy runners in thi.!: part of the world. They ju.~t don ·1 know how lucky they are to have such countryside around them," she added.

The former hockey and tennis player, who turned to running after the birth or her sceond daughter five years ago played down her status as reigning ovcr·35 world 800, 1500 and 5000 champion.

"The opposition in Finland wasn't all that s.trong," said lhc runner who also holds the British SOOOm title.

COACHING CLINIC

~in I TllE FAST LANE I

Derek Parker suggests ways and means of acquiring sprinting ability - even for those better endowed for longer distances.

THE lack of sprint speed is a frequent problem among distancerunners. We have a.II watched races where athletes have been in contention for honoW5 trntil Ille closing stages when rivals with superior sprinting abilidcs moved up several gears and opened unbridgeable gaps.

As anyone ramiliar wilh physiology knows, absolute speed is dependent on genetic facrors. The most important or lhese is the ratio or red to white muscle fibres. Topclas••prinurs have an cxceptiona11y high perc.cntage or white muscle fibres. In distance Nnners. the number of red m=le librcs predominates. As far as is known. these red-white r11ios cannot be tltcred by lBinin.s·

The white muscle libres are sometime$ descnOcd as fast twitch because 1hcy 1.re rcspon1iblc for speed in an athk:u. They can work 11. or close to. muimum rile in &he absence or oxygen i .e . anaerobically. Bccousc of Ille high intensity or the work load. however. the white Cas1 rwi1eh mu.sclc librC> can function for j ust 1 few second1 bcrore muscularexhaus1ioncurtailslhe aetjvily.

Redmusclefibrco arc frequently described as 'slow 1witch" bccau.sc lhcy arc responsible ror endurance in an athlete. They can work 11 a low inlCtlsi1y over lengthy period.~ of time ln I.he presence or oxygen. ic aerobically. In a well trained athlete, the slow twitoh. rod muscle fibres can function for several hours bcf OTe eAAaus1ion sets in.

From these brief phy•iological observations. i_t is obvious lha1 top sprinters will be TOCNiLed i'Tom the ranks of athletes with a high

triphosJ¥!1Leandcteatincphosph1Le sources of energy. These arc particularly important in the consideration or absolu"' speed.

In previous ut:iclcs I have described the vital importance or aerobic energy for a1hlc1es competing in the longer distance evenis eg IOK, half marathon. marathon. and ultra distances. I have also described I.he importance of anaerobic energy sources involving the lactic acid and oxidative energy systems for athletes competing in middle

di1iance evenu eg 800/ISOO/ 3000/SOOO mcircs. In physiological parlance, Ille 11<to.,;e energy sysu:m is lcnown u 02 while the lactic acid· oxidative energy syatenu arc rcfcned 10 as LA·02.

The third sysum, which is of crucial importance to sprinters, i1 the previously mentioned 1deno1ine­triphosphatc and crcatine phosphate (ATP-PC) combination. ATP is a high energy phospate bond which provldeaanimmedi11echentical (uc1 source for activity. particularly that or an ••plosive. dynamic natutc. But for various physiologictl rcuons which nood nee be clabcrmd upon in this article. lhe ATP sources dcplm rapidly (in leu lhan 1.0 second) and must be rcs)'nlhuiscd by a S«Ond hiaJi energy compound. creatine· phosphate.

The A TP-CP proceues arc themselves anaerobic. i.e. lhcy take place in the absence or o•ygen. Their optimum development for sprintin8 purposes dependa on gpccific 11.Wng 10 muimile their furu:tionin3 ability. If an athki.e wiJhu to imp-ovc aerobic capacity hetraiiuaerobically,c.g.byrunning 11 slcady State or performing

If he wanu to develop his ability to wilhstlnd loctic '"'id and handle anaerobic work loads he must train anaerobically, e.g. by running at a fast tempo with su.itab1e recovery periods bcrwcen repetitions at. or slightly ftiter than, nee speed over appropriau training distances.

Likewise, to increase the efficiency of the ATP.CP enetgy sysi.em. athlcLeS must include ATP­CP trlltlting in their schedules. Thi! type or training also benefits the

contractile ability orlhcfast twiich muJClc librcs to perform rapid movcmcnlf. Bearing in mind lhal the A TP.(:P p<OC<:SSCJ 110 cff cctive for jusl a rcw seconds before the anacrobic·lactic systems take ovct, a spccilic ATP-CP session would involve running short distances 11

designed for a !OK/cross counuy 1tblcte or British international standard. Although it should not be imitated unthinkingly by other athlcus. its principles can be utilised as t.he basis for a session commensurate with one's own indi•idutl e•perienc:e and ability.

Oneof the mo5'dif6cult aspccts o( sprint training for disl&llC'C• runners is lhc role or training mcthocb employing the we of weights. circuits. or gymnasium ,.'Oflc inasd>cdulc.11 is indisputable thal mUSQllar strength is cl-ly related to sprinting a.,;lity. It is also imfutablethal weights. ciJeuits. and gym work develop strength. The problem arises when the coach and/ or uhlete seeks LO integrate these aspecu of training in10 1 running schedule,

Bcforcconsidcring this question further, it is wonhwhilccxamining some typical elements of wcighis. circuiL. and gym work. One of the favoured methods of increasing leg strength involves sLepping on and off a bench some 1g inches high with a weighted barbell on the shoulders. The load used is normally not less than half the alhlctc"s bodyweight and not normally more than the equivalent of his bodyweight. The exercise is perfonncdbctweencightand twelve times i'Torn each leg.

It is essential, for safety, 10 ensure that the back is straight Ind that the angle bcsween upper Ind lower leg during the S"'P"UP phase is not more titan 90 degrees.

Other exercises involving weightsutilisiJl&thesameprinciples include half squats. ctlf raises, and leg presses using a multi-gym .

Leg strenglh can also be developed in gymnasia by exercises such as bench vaults, bench astride­jumps. sqt111jumps, andbenchst<:p­ups without weights. Typical routines inclu& 3 10 6 • 20 to 30 seconds of each exercise with recovery periods of 101030 seconds. Ann. abdominal. and dorsal strength can be improved in the same way using exercises such as prcss--ups, pull-ups, sit·ups. and back-raises.

An increasingly popular method of improving leg strength is pliornetrics, a programmcofjwnps and bounds performed in a variety of ways . This can be quite demanding and should preferably bedonconsoflsurrac:es. The athlete should always land Oat footed with the back straighL Jumps series over fairly short distance inctease Ille

quickly as po<siblc lO top speed. A series or jumps over relatively long distances help 10 lengthen the athlctc"utridc. while sprinting also improves the muscular endurance of the legs. A <ypieal jumps progrwune for training the [ast· rwitch muscle fibres .• the ATP.CP energy processes. and sprinting eopacity could be:

Short Jumps • stmding Ieng jump from cac:h leg x 3; standing two-footed jump• 3; slJlnding hop from each leg x 3; 2 hops+ I step+ I jump x 3 from eoch leg; standing triple jump leading from each leg x 3; S hops on each leg x I to 3 repetitions; S two-footed jumps x I to 3 repetitions; S giant strides leading from each leg x I IO 3 ttpctitions.

Long jumps • hop 2S melres <-"'h leg x I IO 3 sets; two-footed jumps over 2S metres .x 1 to 3 sets; 25 metres giant strides leadlng from each leg x I to 3 repetitions.

The above is merely a guide lO

the type or work which can be done. h should be modified or intensified IO accommodate individual fitness and experience levels.

Only the ooac:h and/or othkte con docidc what pan. if any. the strength-developmentexercisesjust descTibcd will have in I training programme. There aremanypoople who believe that theriskofinjury as a result of lhesc activities is too grea~ so they refrain from doing them.

tr done correctly. and properly supervised. weight-training. cimaits.andjumpsexercisesshould 11t11tr result in direct injuries. The problems arise, however. when the athlete incurs r atigue levels through strength·training which make him or her more vulnerable to injuries as a comcqucnce of imposing rugh­quali1yw01k·loadsorhcavymileage on muscles. ligamcrus. and tendons tired from previous exertions.

The advan1agcs of ualning outwith an 1erual running siruation must be balanced against its disadvantages. It is inieresting IO note tha1 Arthur Lydiard was a fum opponent o( weight training. Conversely. Percy Wells Ccrully, mcncor t0 some or hlsrory • s finest athletes. including the legendary He1b Elliot. was a supporter or training with weights. Likewise. yoo must decide for yourself •

Pcnonally. I believe thll 40().

800 mcaes llhlctcs and.10 a ccnain extcn~ those oompeting 11 I.SOO metres, oould benefit from the inclusion of weights, circuits. and jumps in their training. I buc my opinion on the fact that.(•) athletes competing in these events do not normally oover an exccp<icnaUy· hi&h mileage, and. (2) basic speed i.J an absolute essential in their competitive armoury.

For them a typiaJ training week could be: Sunday. 10 IO IS miles eross.()()untry; Monday - rtt1Jck; Tucaday • weights preceded and followed by 2 10 3 miles run; Wednesday . 6 to 10 miles S1cady; Thursday· circuits/jumps preceded and followed by 2 "' 3 mile• run; Friday • 30 mins recovery run; Saiwday (am) track session (pm) 60 mins •!Cady run.

Prercrably. the athlete could train at lunch times on the Tuesdays and Thursdays. covering between lhrce and five miles oHairly steady l'\lnning. This would spar:e Lhc tr1ining 1oadmorccvcnlyand leave the evenings free to concenttatcon the strength work.

I must emphasise. however, it is far beuer io err on the side of

moderation r>lhcr lhlll on e.\USS. h is my opinion thll athlctea

training for SK. I OK. half-mlttlhon. and marathon events should mtrict lhcir 1tre:ngth work LO exercises invo1ving the use of their own bodyweight such as prcas·ups. sil· ups. and possibly half-squat.s. with the angle between upper and lower kgs docs not exceed 90 dogzecs.

I hue my opinions on the f act.s tha~ (•) athlcta in these c11egories will probably be covering between 70 and 120 miles per week if they are aspiring for major honours. n.e. clement of chronic muscular (atiguc resulting from these heavy mll .. gcs could be exacerbated ID the point or injury ir exhausting strength.work is imposed; (b) hill-running and c:ross·country running arc more natural and more specific opportunities for speed work few these athletes: and. (c) ambitious distance runnct$ will probably be running twjcc a day six times a wedt. Finding time IO fit in other training would be impossible.

However, aU distance alhlctc.s must include some training in their schedu1es to improve the efficiency of tM;, fast-<wir.:h muscle fibres and their ATP-CPenergy sys1em1.

TWO OF A KIND Fiona Macaulay talks to Scotland's running double act, brothers John and Alan Robson.

A RRIV I NG at Robson Sporls in

Edinburgh's SI James Cenlre, I found Alan Robson in lhc middle of preparations ror the oCficial opening of his shoplhe following week.

'"This is nerve. racking:• he said 1.nd admiued IO being up II

So. how does a foolballer become a dis Wice

runner? Robson found himself, in his late 1ccns, on

lhc subs' bench for most of his lime at Berwick Rangers and he was becoming incrcuU1gly disillusioned 11 lhc way lhings were run in foolball. When lhc club gained promolion IO

Division 1 in 1980/81, Ibey brough1 in more players and relcucd a number of youngncrs, Alan Robson &mong lhan. He apparently cried all lhe way home in lhe car and never played roo1ball eglln.

He was already going our ruMing wilh his brolhcr John, or 11 any rate lasting a couple or miles wilh him before he disappeared into the suru.cl, and says that he. was always more inlCl'ested in running lhan foo1ball.

He still carries a leg injmy IO Ibis day.

Back in Scotland. 1986 brought an amnesty for pro athletes and Robson turned amateur. He feels !he pro circuit in Scotland is dead and will never attract the interest it wed to.

as he had his talents he liftod wereconcemod was jusl not on lhecards. He is very modes I aboul his ability as a runner, calling his half·maralhon and maralhon times "pedestrian" and playing down the lnlcrnationlll races he has competed in.

He lhink.s lh11 for lhc siz.c of lhe couniry, Scotland has done well IO produce lhc number or iop flight alhletes it has done. especially ..,hen it is inuiNically a foolballingnation. however bad it is 11 lhaL Robson lhink.s, howeva, Ihm: is too big a gep between lhc youngsters and the top alhletts, and lhat lhc national coech should promote !alcnt <JX)tting in schoo!J lO I fargrealCI' extent. He also points out that lut scuon there was one international for men. 1.t Grange mouth, which is hnrdly great incentive.

Alan Robson. of course, is lhe founder member of lhe coniroversial Edinburgh Racing Club (originally Reebok Racing Club). Did he not think lhcJe was a plelhaa of clubs alteadYI

He joincdEdinburghSoulhcrn Harricrs.hisb<olhcr's club, but felt lhc club lost its identity when it changed 10 Caledon Park after receiving sponsorship. Ro boron was apparently fed up irying to cajole people into turning out for crossc:ounuy and road races. and after lhe last Edinburgh IO

The club has dropped lhe name " Reebok" 1nd will be "Edinburgh Reeing Club" unless 1 genuine spon· sorshipdcal comes through.

So why is a club, SCI up for cross counlty and road racing in Division S or lhe Scouish Athletics League? Track alhlctes who joined Robson's club persuaded him to enter lhe le-sue. but being succcssrul in 11ack and field is nol or great importmcc to Robson.

"I did lhe pole vault lhe last time." he says.

New Y ur m«tin& and in 1975 he was rcinstaled dome5tically as an cn11eur. Re mWed ow on the European Junior Championships that yeor because he hod to serve a yur in domestic competition bcJore being allowed to run internationally.

By 1980Robsonwaspartofthe""elitesquad .. uaining for the Moscow Olymp;c.. That yeor he was rifth in the World Cross Counuy ChampioMhips in Paris, but two wcck.s later he couldn" t walk and underwent operalioM on both

tendons which put an me! to his Olympic hope$. Al that time there was no lSlan lndt in the borden, and Robson puts his injwy down partly co uaining on soft mud and grass. While he continued to do wdl, huays that from 1981 the same confidence was just not !here.

Docs John agree with his brother that he lacked uuc grit? Robson does concede th&1 a number of people have levelled the M:CUS&lion at

him that he is wo nice a per50n co succeed in this sporl Robson does not sec thst "nice .. people

cmnot make it in alhle.tics.. But did he achieve aD he wantcd to on the t111ck? In shon: "No."

John Lauder and Robson drifted apart

ornicably around 1983 and Roboan was OOIChed by John Anderson for the neu couple of yeors. Alt.hough he did sec Anderson quite often. he was based in England and much of the coaching was done over the phone. Robson think.s th11 this relatioMhip was not as SUCCC5sful as it might have been, although it was during this period he ran his fastest3,000mof7-4S.81. He was the sort of athlete who needed somebody there for him constantly, preferably on a one to one basis. not 1 .... 1 of all because he tendJ to overuain. He says he u.w:d to !Ake John Anderson· s seheduJ05 WO literally. noc adapting them to Nit the occasion. or his physical Slate at that time.

John also feels thll he put coo much accent on the mileage method o( uaining. At tlw time i1 was in vogue to be doing 90· 100 miles a week. In rw-ospoct. Robson feels he should have SlUCk with John Lauder's speed and quali1y uaining, gClting his 400 and 800 meue timC5 faster.

Now Robson issdf-coachedand training for his fustmarathon, either in London or Rouadam. His per(onnance(third place) at the Great Scottish Run ocrtainly sec.ms to auger well for hi< ruturc in marathon running. Hi< job at thespons centre Wccs: care or his over· training problem. because. due to his shifl work. he can often only uainonce a day. And what time iJ he .. pceting for hisdcbut marlllhon? Aflermuchdelibcrationheevennally says he is looking for sub 2· IS.

Docs this mean we will not be seeing him on the crack again? According to Robson. ir he "makes a mess of the mtrAthon" he may well be back on the lndt for the IOK Olympic trial.

John Robson JOined EdinbUl'gh Racing Club !romCaledon Plll< purely IOsupporthisbrother in his venture. He doubu very much if any athlete would leave one club and join another "just for a pair or shoes", that there must beothcrundetlying reasoru. He can underJtand the hostility towards his new club. especially ;r clubs arc losing their best runners. but fools he g4ve a good fifteen years to CPH and is now running "for himself'.

Without 1 doubt Robson thinks thll Frank Dick WIJ a tremendous organiser when he was Scotland's national coach and he feels that athletics in Scotland thrived under the mm. U recent years have not bttn u productive as when Robson was ruMing uaclc. he says lhll Scotland is not alone. and mentions New Zealand which produced a grc.u squad of distance~ in the seventies. but has hod some dry ycors since then.

Robson feels that great athleies are born. Ho docs. however, wish that young athelescouldgCI the same opportunities thst he did to get into good races. Now. says Ro boon. athletics iJ all big busincu and people like Andy Norman ore more interested in putting on a ''good television show" than giving the underdog a chance.

I wondered ifl woo Id be seeing John Robson at the New Y car meeting at Meadow bank, relivingmcmoriesof 17 yeors ago. but apparently he will be looking very fet<:hing in radioactive cherry and running the Morpeth to Newcastle on Januory I if evcrythini goes to plan.

CHARITIES

HAVE A HEART· RUN FOR CHARITY IN the cuncnl economic climate, it is even more essential for charities to raise muchncedcd funds through sponsorship and fwidraising.

Nowadays many charities realise thcsuceessfulmoneyspinncr lhac running sponsorship ha$ become. With Lhe pending countdown to the 1992 ADT London Marathon and the swt of the Scou.ish road race season we have had a look at a couple of wonhwhilc needy causes.

A number of charities have also advertised within this issue. looking for runners • young and old - to raise sponsorship for lhem.

The Starlight Foundation granis the wishes of chronically. critically and terminally illcht1drcn to fulfil a broad range of wishes.

Some wishes are simple -providing a home computer. Many involve meeting a celebrity.Others are more complicated - travel to a relative overseas or a visit to Oisneyworld.

Starlight always involves the

child's family, creating o unique event. which unites the famiJy, restores hope, and provides la.sting memories. The charity has handled nearly 700 wishes through itS network of &rained volunteers in the UK.

The work is funded in three ways • by donations of goods, and services, and by cash donations and fundraising at special event!.

Whilst their primary function is palliative, an increasing body of research highligh1s beneficial effecison a child's illness. by giving hope and a purpose io live.

Although lhereare many cancer charities in thc Uni1ed Kingdom, Cancer Relief Macmillan Fund is lhe counlJY's oldest.

Founded in 1911 by Douglas Macmillan, whose family came from Ochihrcc in Ayrshire. itS aim has remained unchanged over the years. Its chariLableincome is used to enhance the care and $Upport of cancer pat,ientS and their families.

In i1s caxliest days lhis was done

RACING CLUB ARE KINGS OF THE ROAD "CLOSE to 1ears." wu how Alan Robson summed uphi.s feelings after crossing thc finishing line of the Barr's Edinburgh to Glasgow Road Relay in George SqW1Te on November 17, wr fJ<S Morgortl Molllgo-ry.

But lhe emotional response wasn'1 joy at having complel<d lhe anchor leg of an overlll win by Racing Club Edinburgh. Instead it was prompted by ''panic and sheer fruslration" following 1 fuW mile in which there were no marshalls to direct him along the route.

"I came in from lhe north side of George Square insteadofthesouth." said an understand· ably upsei Robson. "I knew th11 was wrong from having run the race before, panicked and ended updning a circuit of George Squ11c."

So chaotic were these final soconds of the ra<:e that Roboon even ended up asking shoppers where the finish line was.

"They mwn have though• I was mad," he said. "l was running round lhc square demented asking anyone and everyone where the finish was. l was convinced 1 had blown it and was close to tears."

As ic n.uncd out lhc final ouccome or the gruelling eightstogcrelay was unaffcclcd by thc uagi-comedy which took place againsl the back­drop of lhc city chambers. The anchor men of second placed Cambuslang and third placed Tcviotdalc took lhe same jumbled route u Robson, meaning the latter was still able to cross lhe fmishing line ftrsL

Laicr, the times of lhcse three learns were adjusted to take account of what had happened although it is doubtful whether this was done to lhesatisf action ofRobson. Racing Club's anchor man had enjoyed a lead of well over two minutes wilh IWO and 1 half miles ID go, but was granted a margin of only one minute in the adjw,tcd times.

"I had pl1Med to go for a pb," said Robson. "But lhat went out the window aflCr all lhe fiasco in the final mile."

Traffic oongcstion seems ID have been thc rool cause of the lack of marshalling which spoiled the last momenu: of an otherwise reasonably smoothly run race. Ofncials had been Ulllble to reach the final stagcsof lheroute before lhe leading runnCJS, and a policeofficerdirocted lhem lhe wrong way just several hundred melrcs from the finish.

That Racing Club Edinburgh would clinch victory in this prestigious race wu never really in question. Strength in depth on a scale unmatched by any of lheothcr teams was always going to tip the balance in !heir favour.

While olher teams oould boast individuals capable of matching or beating their counterpart in the Racing Club side, none could cope with their amassed migh~ including as it did John

Robson and Tom Hanlon on the sixth and seventh legs.

This said, it did look at one point as ifCambuslang might pose some difficulties for lhe club ii seems others love &O hate.

At the ArmadaleCross change over halfway lhroogh lhe race. Charlie Thomson had pulled his team from third place into a close second just a few metres down on Racing Club. Unfortunately !hough. a 101 of lhis good work was undone when te-am-n1atc and runner on thefiflh leg. EddieStewa.n. was caught with his lrousersup. unprepared for lhe change over. Hastily removing his excess gear and fumbling atlas t for the baton. he Jost some twenty S<>COnds which oould only be crucial when former Commonwealth medalli.sl Jolm Robson had jus11akcn over fOt' Racing Club. and Hanlon and Alan Robson were yet to run.

The Thomson-S1ewar1 change over might have been less disastrous had ii not been for the fog which plagued runncr·s llu'oughout n1os1 of 1he race, and which was so thick at Armadale Cross that it was impossible 10 sec lhe fourlh-lcg runners until they were about ten merres from the end of their stage.

Stew an looked as if he had seen a ghost when Thomso.n started shouting for him and the taucrhad cenainly appeared like one as he emerged from appazcnt nowhere out of the thick mist.

To rntkc conditions even more adverse, there were roadworks for the nmncrs to contend with throughout most of lhe mule.

lndocd,ju.iconccnuatingon the race was something few TUMCTS .. this year's Edinburgh to Glasgow road relay were able IO do!

NOVEMBER 16 sow the biggest evet S<:ottish Schools' Rold Relay ChampioDJhip1 being hold at

Grangemouth Stadium. ""'"' tilt SSM.

Ovet 100 schools eni..1ed 91S alhlelel, but pride or ploce mUJt go ID Dingwall Academy, which won gold. silver, and bronze team medals. Dingwall'• Alasdair Thomson added to the day 's successes when he won thc Cas1"St lsp in lhc under IS boys ca1"gory. BolwcarieHigl>School in Km..Jdy alsostand.sout Cm gold and bronze 1"am medals in the boys' races and individlW fastest taps from Hayley PaTkinson in !he over IS girls. and Aludair Mooni• in thosame boy>' age group. (Alasdair's brothet Graham was scoond Casl<JI in lhc younger boys' race.)

The prirn...y schools' event ir now at saturation poiJU. with Lhc overwhelming hordes or parents, coaches, teachers, and supportcn making it olrnost impossible for lhc .. changeovers" to cake place efficiently.

V ariO\IS possibilities have been mooted for the ruiun:: rour races (eilhcr splil inlD A and B t<atDJ or inio prirnAry 6 and 7); a longer cowse: or possibly even 1 separate cbyCorprim...yschools. withalaicr start, so that far -nung 1eamuuch as Conon Bridge in Rou·shire no longer have to luve at S.Jo..m.

Thc most sotiJfoctory aspects of the prim...y cven1 were that the 10p 1en 1CamJ in both races came from all over S<otJand.

The under IS boys nee w&.1 easily won by Dingwoll Acldemy. Dunbar Grammar we1e second.

In the under IS girls' race, twins

Julie and Lisa ThomJon. with Laun Brown whonnseeond lap, won Cor Hawiclc High. in a close finish which oJso rearurcd Dingwoll Acldcmy and Whitfield High.

The Cutest lap was record«! by Shelagh Mc Kenzie of St Thomas or Aquinis, whose teacher, Mr Guild. was so busy recording thll he was initially unawaTe or hers-.

HawidtHigh•cnow~ a considerable ror<:eincrosscoun11y and road running, their under I 7 girls' 1"am bci"' the 1991 over IS erou eoun11y champioru.

The over IS boys' race was awailOd with anticipation. a close r utirh being prcdic:ud between last ycar"s champions Sc Aloysius: College, Si..w&JU Melville College (scoond in 1990), Balwearie High (third in 1990). Douglas Academy (f•m in the under IS race in 1990). and Boclair Academy.

And it was indeed exiciting. 49 seconds scpa.rtting Lhc (ivc t.cams. Michael Gill give St Aloysius a slighl lead inio the last lap, from DavidOonnan(Douglas Academy), Colin Young (Boclair Academy). and Alasdair Moonie (Balwearie). Alan Kidd or S1ewaT10n Academy was fi(th wilh Ala.<dair Donaldson (DSMC) some 3S seconds behind him.

Gradually, Alasdafr Moonie pulled Bolwcuie in to lirsr place, covering the 2920m course in 8-23 with Steven Burke doing the same in 8·S9 and Daniel Lcgga1" doing it in9-t4.

Colin Young was unable to overhaul David Cionnan. who. perhaps surprisingly, recorded the CUICSI time of the Douglas Aclderny 1eam • 8-45. S-t McNeUan,... S. S6 and Muk Smith 9-13. In the Boelair1eatn. Colin Young rcca<ded 8·S2. Cluir Humphrey 9-03. and Andrew Young 9.07.

Theo•cr IS girls' race was lcu exciting, with 1990 champions, High Sdlool or Glasgow re1aining the trophy by almost a minu1e Crom St Lconard's.

It looked as though High School' 1 B team would take third place, but an incredible las1 200m rrom Dingwoll Academy's Matjol)I Smith thwaned !WO J<t.S or medals for Glasgow. The r l.~1"Sl lap for the 2237m course came from Balweuie's Hayley Parkin!On in 7, 36, 13scoondsfu1erthansheranin 1990.

Kristina Oonnley or Mary Erskine School was teeond faslest in 7-38.

UNIVERSITIES

READERS who are of !he opinion that there are too many powcr­hungry politician> involved in the running or spa<ts should sample life in the university seet0r, wrius Gordon Rilclli<. Thc problem with sllldcnls' cvcnu ir that IOO llWI)' people sec thun as an ideal starting block for fitness cueers in sports admin­irtration. This ir panicul11ly so in ath­letics, and onec again the athletes have been sold OUI by the powcrs­that·be.

Having seen their dreams or a tour to Aor· idadashcd by the Scottish Universities Spous Fed­eration • the body thai exists supp· osedly 10 promole and encourage. participation in competitive student sport • the whole 1991-92 indoor season. including the prestigious international against Scotland. Northern Ireland. and Scottish Schools, lw now been jeopucliJed bythe actions or a handful of people who have not even the rcmotcse knowledge of what is involved in promoting such events.

The v~w wa.s expressed that it would take around two weeks IO stage this match. Someone should explain to them th11 it ir sliglltly differcnt&omarugbymatc.h, when all )'OU need is a pitch. arcfcroc, and two turns.

Thcshort·sightcd opproachmay have far reaching consequences which SUSF have not even considered. Having issued inviuu;ons to lheopposition teams.. student crodibili1y will be shatlercd ir 1.hcy oow have to cancel this future. RelationswithSAAA would be tainted, while the school pupib who arc lhe university .students of the future will be le(t with a p0or impression of their o1dcc ac!Klcmic colleagues.

ln the meantime. the athletes I.hems.elves are left in a state or unccnainry while the span careen

ahead with no cleat direct.ion. 111cJ with no leadership.

While there has been con· siderable activity off !he track. there has been Ii Ille to shout •bout on the track. The annual Briti•h Universities Championship will be held II Cldiff in 1992. The bid oews (or the Scots is that it ir

scheduled to be held at Meldowbank in 1993. and so they will mirsow en the

-.; traditional pilgrimage south or the bord<r.

The 1992 Champion · ships will rcvcn 10 be· ing British Univcrsilics as oppo•cd to British Students aficr lastycar•31 leu than SUCCC!S•

Cul expcrimen1 at combining the univers­ities, poly· tcchnics. and

Thlsycar'1cventm1y,howcver, include the polys if govcmrnent legirla1ion granting them university Stat\1$ is pass«! in time. This would have the effect or improving Ill already high standard or competition. but the increase in numbers of athle1"S cometing may cawe some difficulties. C$p0Ciolly m the 6eld events.

Whatever happens, it ir unlikely that !he Scots will be IS successful in C...dilf u they were in 1991, although the likes or Hayley Haining, VilckiMacPhcnon.Alison Potts, Nikki Barr. Dawn Bwdm, Sarah Richmond, Douglu Wo!kcr, Graeme McMillan. Glen Si..wart, John McPaduan. and Dave Allen could all bring home some mcdols.

In addition, the Glasgow women's .sprint relay learn should Start as ravouritcs for the gold, IS

they can choose from Ridlmand, Mel Neer. Janc Fleming, Burden. and long jumper Sllrllh Stirling.

All in all. there could be a vel)I succes•fol season ahelld f0< student athletes if only the windbag.s would let them get on with ii and not tty to interfere in things lhcy obviously know nothlng about.
