OUR LEAST IMPACTFUL SHOES YET.

All roads lead to Impact injuries. All road runners know this. Butnolongerneedthey wear shoes so weighed down with cushioning. Notslnce we discovered Hexallte, an abnormally llght, shock· resistant polymer. And built it into the heel and forefoot of our latest running shoes. It forms part of the most advanced cushioning system we've ever produced, yet it comes in a shoe that weighs little more than the magazine you're holding. The Concorde from Reebok. Shock absorbers, less than two p ounds a pair.

Run-a-way Sports success story continues THERE may be no shortage of retail outlets in Glasgow able IO provide alhletes wilh shoes and clolhing. but !here are relatively Ccw which can offer !he standard of service available at Runaway Spons.

Recently opcnc.d in the West End's Dumbanon Road. Runaway Spons is ownc.d and managed by Ron Ballantyne. a member of Giffnock Nooh who runs marathons and half maraihons. As such be is well placed IO undctsland and meet the nocds and demands of his clientele.

"It bas 10 make a difference." says Ron. "As a runner myself. I fool I can offer a bellCt service 10 my customers."

Ccnainly Ron seems IO have done his uunosl to sec that lhc alhletes who come 10 him are well catered for. A i.readmill rooently insl.Blled at !he OumbarlOn Road shop gives athletes the opponunity to "iry out" different types of shoes before

indulging in what could tum out IO be a costly mistake.

All lhe major IOp quality manufacturers of shoes and clothing are in Slodc including Nike. Reebok, Ron Hill, Brooks, Sub Four. Vig;i. Goretex , Mizuno and Saucony. Cusiomcrs at Runaway ccnainly aren't Sluck for choice.

"At Dumbarton Road we specialise in alhletics and ocrobics which means !hat we stock very run ranges of clolhing and shoes for both," points out Ron. "In this sense we have an advantage over more general sports shops."

Many of the services provided by Ron al his new DumbarlOn Road shop and his

original outlet in Sinclair Drive, Langside. will be particularly useful to people who enjoy athletics at a rcasonably high competitive level. Those interested can, for example, receive information on most local races.

Ron's latest shop in Dumbanon Road is proving panicullllly popullll with I.he many runners who use !he facilities at lhe Kelvin Hall - located as it is just seconds away from the international spons arena.

It's not just runners. however, who benefit from Ron Ballan1yne'searing touch. Even their panners will be sensitively catered for when Ron opens a coffee bar in his DumbatlOn Road shop in I.he very nw future.

"While the runners iry shoes and clothes on. their parmcrs will be able 10 relax and have a coffee," explains Ron.

Congratulations io Ron on his continuing expansion.

Panel must sort out national coach fiasco SURELY reason will prevail later this month when a second attempt is made to appoint a new Scottish national coach.

The firs t uy t0 replace David Lease ended in embarrassment when the six selection panel members met in catly Dec:ember to interview the short-listed candidates for the post .

Four of the panel voted in favour of the American-based and highly qualified Meg Ritchie. ln nonnal circumstances democracy would h&vc prevailed and Ms Ritehie would have been sppoin~ albeit on a 4-2 majority vote rather than as the unanimous choice of the all-Scottish pan.cl (which eonvenes under the chainnaruhip of Sir Anhur Gold. who does not have a vote).

But as (unique to Scotland) a 6-0 unanimous vote is required before a docision can be made, Meg Ritchie's appointment was vetoed · and Scottish Athletics left with egg on its faec when colleague Doug Gillon revealed dclAils of the vote in the Glasgow Herald.

The dissenting voices were~ oddly. the onJy two women on the panel. Hilda Everett and Isobel Docherty, who for some reason could not bring themselves to vo1c for a female national coach - despite the considerable impression Ms Ritchie's interview pczformancc made on the four other panel members and, reputedly, Sir Anhur.

The selection process has gone back t0

square one. with app1ica1:tons re.submitted and the panel due to convene again al the end o f this month .. With Meg Ritchie's hat again in the ring. the selection process oould, theoretically, continue for ev"' if the two women on I.he panel continue to object to her nomination.

It must be said that Hilda Everett and Isobel Dochcny were quite entitled to eome t0

vote for a djffcreru candidate. However, since the rules required a 6.0 vote, there was, in my opinion, an obligation.on the two ladies concerned t0 have said following the 4-2 balloc "Okay, we've made our point. Now in the best interests of S<:ouish athletics, and in order lO get the post filled u quickly as possib1c. wc'U bow to the majority view and withdraw our opposilion ...

The bottom line is that Sco~and has been without a national ooach for four weeks. Dave Lease having departed for his new position in England in December. As any appointee will be required tO give a period of notice, the probability is that we will be without a national coach for at least a couple of month.,.

And even that unhealthy ~ario requires lhc two ladles on lhc selection pahel to get their act tOgether at the end of this month I

Getting involved in SAC deliberations NO doubt geuing involved in drawing up a eonstitutlon for the proposed Scottish Athlc1ics Federation will strike most readers as about as appealing as racing Tom MeKcan over 800m with the mortgage 111 slalcc.

However, a questionnaire on the proposed federation has now been sent to club secrcwies, and the Scouish Athletics administration is keen that as many individuals as possible should respond t0 the questionnaire before the closing date of February 25.

The selling up o f the SAP will be the most imporrant event to have happened in Scottish athletics for a long. Jong time. and it is imporlllnl that as many people as possible participate in the drafting of its constitution -

COMMENT

there's no point in moaning about the SAF after its establishment if you haven't at least made the effon to influence its boundaries..

So, ask your club secretary for a eopy of the qucsLionnairc and the backgound tO the the SAF proposals, and give the working party some idea of grassrbots opinion.

-NOT very good news

<.

FINALLY, readers may recall that last August I questioned the renaming of athletics clubs to please sponsors. particularly when the sums of money involved were comparatively low and whcti lh.c name change sounded ralher ludicrous.

At the time I happened t0 mention the example of N.O.T. Minolla Black Isle AAC -adding, rather eynieally, "whatever N.O.T. stand's for".

WeU, I've since discovered tha1 N.O.T. stands for Northern Office Technology (Highlands) Lui. The company, in fac~ went into receivership in December, just about six months lifter sponsoring Black Isle and getting a very public tie-up wlth an ambitious and successful club full or promising young athle!A>s.

Am l alone in feeling $0mc disquiet about this development?

In my original remarlcs l didn 't intend to disparage the effons or hard working club commit1ec members to anract sponsorshjp • and I cenainly don't mean to now - but I do feel that that athletics clubs should consider whether a name change is absolutely essential in attracting commercial backing.

COACHING CLINIC

Slowly

Derek Parker outlines the case for

progressive track training sessions.

NO\¥ duil we 11.rc into the New Year, the thoughts or m11ny distance nlMCrS will be roc:uscd on next month's national cross counlly ch•mpionships. The event will be tho highlight or their winu:r programme Ind the culmination of lhcir racing and lnlining schedules since lasl Scpttmber. ,.

Other distance atlllct"" will be looking further ahead to the summer track season. For thein, lhe cross counuy chan1pionships will n1crcly be stepping stones towards their track objectives. The races will be viewed primarily as $lamina-tcSli.ng lflining runJ in a competitive cnvironmcnl.

They may even be omiued altogether or rcplacod by indoor competition. Those aic n1attcrs which the runner with serious track aspirations will have discussed with his or her coach ll the end or the last compc1itive SCl!On. prior to embarking on lhe winter programme.

••owcvt:r, irrespective or the importance or

Seoll•nd'• Runner FtbN..., 1991

unimponancc or the national cross COUJ\11)'

competitions. the man or woman intending co peak spoc:ifically for uack ioumamcnu should have Jong ago SCI Lhcir lime wgets for the coming swnmcr. They should also by now have been tackling specific training sessions aimed at lh• rulfilmcnt or intelligently­fonnulaled racing gow.

This means lhat most of the track workouts should be at racing ~ wilh Clldully conuolled recoveries. In accotdana: with the principles or 1raining theory, the sessions should be proi;reuive. In layman's language. it indicates thtl once the 1Lhletc has mast.c.rcd each particular session he or she must progress by in<;reasing l]1c workload.

For example, if an 11hlete can run 10 miles in 70 ntinutcs fairly comforubly during training he or she must progress by ( I) running the 10 milu in fast« than 70 minuies; (2) nwUng rarthu than 10 miles in 70 minulel: (3) NMing for m<>rc than 70 ntinu1es: and (4) increuing the numbcr of IOmilc runs in 70 minutes during uaining phases.

The wnc principles of progression pcnain to ttack training involving repctilion runs over various diswnces. The alhlc<e progresses by (I) incrcuing the diswnce or repetition runs; (2) reducing the recovery inu:rval be1wccn repetitions: (3) increasing the number or repetitions: and (4) increasing the speed o r the repetitionJ. This formula can be r<membend by the acronym. OlRT i.e. Oisiancc, lntezvals. Repetition. Tone.

lei us envisage. for example, a male athktc hoping 10 run 5000 meires in 14-10 tl a major championship in Lhc summer. A thorough apprruSll or this goal and ilS physiologic•!, psychological. and 1ac1i<al requirement& rcvcaJ lh11 lhc athlete must be copablcor ruMing 12 x 400m in an average time or 68 seconds with"° recovery plus I x 200m in 34 seconds irnmcdimly after the final 400m with"° rocovcry.

Assuming lhat ow hypothetical athkte !us concluded his previous 111ck ••-•with between two and four weeks of regenerative recovery running lO rcitorc his mental, physical, and spiritual rcsour<es. he might begin his prcp11a1ion phase for the next competitive season by running something like JO x 300m in S4 seconds with 4S IO 60 seconds recovery.

h is obvious thal such a session would oruy be a reinlJoduction 10 O'a<k uaining. Although impo<lal11 as an initial stepping stone back lo repetition ruMing, it falls far shon of the spoc:ifle work the athlc<c mu.t do i! he hu serious intentlonJ of completing 5000m in 14-10.

The shoncomings or that particular workout arc appucnL Fltstly, lhe total distance covered is only 3000m (i.e. 10 x.300m). This amounu IO little more lhan ~ or the SOOOm.

Secondly. the pace is JOO slow. The llhleie. by running coch 300m in S4 sc<:cnck. is only

Scolland'a Runntt FtbNll'f 1991

O'avelling al 72 seconds 400m speed. This is four seconds slower a lap lhan the 68 seconds required IO nm 5000m in 14· 10.

Thirdly. the recovery intcrval is IOO long Jo

be maintained indefinitc1y. ll should never be rorgoue.n lhat the ultimate objective of b'aining for SOOOm is JO run all the various scgmcnu (i.e. 300., 400s. 800s. 1000s cf.C) with"° recovery.

Fourthly. i1 could be argued tha1the300m distance or cKh repetition is somewhat on the •hon side for 5000m ruMers. While broadly in

ag1ecmcn1 with this view. I would personally maintain that repelilions of300m fulfil on irnponant role in SK training when used for recovery or rclubilital.ion purpOse.s after iniunes or other cnfor<>cd lay otrs.

Bearing in mind, therefore, that running

COACHING CLINIC

5000m in 14-10 it the equivalent of 16 x 300m in SI seconds+ I x 200m in 34 seconds, oll wilh"" rCCOVCJY, our hypothetical athletic aspirant has a number of options open to hJm if he want& to 1lllin his goal. He can:

(I) lncrcuc the ioul distance of lhc repetitions IO the point where he coven al lust SOOOm (i.e. the roc:c distanee) in his O'aining sessions:

(2) He Cln roduoe the rtt.0very be1ween .each of the repetitions 10 simulate the physiological and pSychological cnvironmcnll created by running 16 x 300m plus I x 200m wilh no TCCO'"!,CI)';

(3) He can run the 300m repctilionJ faster lo the point w~rc he is travelling tH racing pace for Jhc SOOOm dloU1ncc;

(4) he can increase the length of uch individual repetition to the poinL where distances or 400s. 800s. 1000s. 1200s. and 1600s ve being ucilis<d.

The method and rate or progression arc mau.en which the coach and athlete will need IO consider in the compilation or the uaining schedule. The ago. experience. abiliiy. fitness. temperament. and lime or the year must 111 be taken inio account.

It is poin~css for the athlete IO be race fit al the begiMing of April i! the event he or she is training for Jalces place in June or July. Correct peaking, the avoidance o( injury and illnc'5. progressive uaining. and competition spccUIC workouts povtde succ:css.

tr our hypothetical athlete inJCnds 10 rc1ain 300m repetitions in his prognmme. therefore, he will require to do scssiom such M 16 x 300m in SI second$ + 1 x 200m in 34 second$ i! he is aiming for SOOOm in 14-10.

Recoveries bctwcc:n each repetition should be between 15 and 30 seconds.

As well u satisfying the physiological. pSychological. and llCtical requimnenll or the race. this session will also help IO develop an awam>CSS or pace and the necessity for ill maintenance under conditions of inc:rcuing fatigue. It should be borne in mind. however, tha1 s1cady p- (the thcorc1ical key IO

succcssJul dis1ance running) is Ml the same as sieady cffon.

A.; lhe diSllnCe Of the r><:e prOglCSSCS and the athlc<e becomes morc 1ired. he or she will need to work h11dcr and expend more effort IO

maintain an even. steady pace.. So while the initial six l1p5 or a SK race al

""average or 68 seconds per 400m mighl be echicved fairly com!O<Ubly, the secood half or I.he event at lhc same pace will be much more difficuh. That is why judgcmcn1 pace during various phases of frt$hOC$$ and fatigue is crucial.

The optimum amoun1 of recovery between repetition runs iJ inlpcralivc if the dcsilcd physiological and pSychological responses are IO be attained. The Bri1ish Milers' Club Advocate 1ecovcry jogs or one-eighth or the distance or the ,.,, r.:petitions being used

during sessions at SOOOm pace. This means lhar if 400m rcpctition.s arc being uscd. lhe recovery jog should be SOm. When 800, 1000, 1200, and I 600m repetitions 1lrC wed as the r ... repetition diJlanOC$, the corresponding recovery jogs should be 100. 125, ISO. and 200m respectively.

If lhe alhlete chooses not to jog a specified discanc:c during the recovery phase he or she can jog on che spol or in che vi<:mity of lhc swt of lhc nut fast repetition for a spcc:i.fted 1ime. Where lhis mclhod of recovery is prcfcmd. IS to 22 seconds recovery should be used in place or SOm jog: 30 to 4S seconds recovery in place of I OOm jog; 40 to SS seconds recovery in place or l2Smjog: 4S to 70 seconds recovery in place or l SOm jog: and 60 ro 90 seconds recovery in place of 200m jog.

We can now relate lhcsc fac1s and figures to our hypolhelical achlcte and use them '° cons1ruc1 lln

individualised schedule which will cn•ble him 10 realise his ambition or roMing SOOOm in 14-10, i.e. ac 68 seconds per lop race.

Hoving successfully completed the previously mentioned inttoduc1ory session (e.g. 16 x 300m in SI seconds plus l x 200m in 34 seconds with 15 lO 30 seconds recovery). he is now ready to progressively intensify his programme which will bring him closer to his goal.

II should be emphuiscd thal thcse sessions arc merely guides to the rype or work which should be done by an athlete wanting to do well in SOOOm races. They should not be copied slavishly or unthinkingly.

Nc-vcnhc1css. il is i1nportan1 ror runners to progressively reduce their recovery times between repetition training runs. h should be perfec1ly obvious chal, ir an ochlcte is incapable or running 12 • 400m in 68 seconds with 30 seconds recovery. he is unlikely to be capable of •cringing 12.S laps together at that pace with /'lb recovery to achieve his 14-10 SOOOm.

stimulus or competition and its aucndant lncrcascd u.drcnaJin now can produce the impossible.

The athlete ·s attitude to training j5

important. He or she must always relate the workout LO I.he ac:1ual race distance. For example, when running a ..:ssion or 12. 400rn at SK p1c:e, 1he athlete should refrain from

asking himself or herself how many repetitions o( the sess>on remain after each effort.his infmhtly more productive to chink in tcmlS of total discanc:c run.

So instead of telling himself or herself after lhc rtnt nine rcpctilioru that lherc an: only lhrce more left, lhc alhlete should be concentrating on the '""' lhal 3600m have been completed • and remembering chat in a SK race at char stage he or she .ooutd be preparing mentally, physically, and cactically for lhc linal, •ilal 1400rn.

Some people migh1 chink lha1 this arproach is unimportant • but I disagree. Mose or UJ have encountered at .some time in our coaching or competitive careers the

achletc who is quite contenl to regard training sessions as consiJling or a series of separate~ uneonnccled repetition runs.

For .. ample, inst.ad of seeing 12.S x 400m 11 SK paoe wich 20 seconds recovery as SOOOm in1crspcrsed with a (cw very short pauses. he or she envisage$ the workou1 u tantamount to scvcra.l scpa.r11.e 400m races.

He or she will run the rcpc1idons several seconds faster or slower ll1an SK racing speed, probably even dropping out for put of lhc scuion, before re1umlng in a blaze of glory 10 outs print everyone else in the final repetition.

"It muse be lhc final rcpctilion because Fred is in the lead." is a tracksidc clkhc whi<:h hu a fair share oftrlllh.

N>Ocher faulty opproach engendered by rcgarding a training session as several scpu11c units occun when 1wo achlctcs of different ability join forces for a workouL

Athlete A is capable of running SK in l3-4S which means he ii covering 12.5 laps in 66 seconds each with"" recovery. Achlete B is aiming fora time of 14 -3S for his SK. This is cquivalen1 to ruMing 12.S laps in 70 seconds each wich Ill) recovery.

In a race, i1 would be sporting suicide for Achle1e 8 10 aiternpt lO keep up wilh Athlete A if the latter was to SCI Orf at 66 seconds per lap pace.

Yet chis i• very often what happens during a lraining session of, for cx11.n1plc, 12.5 x 400m at SK pocc wilh 20 seconds recovery. Atl1lete B runs alongside Achlete A for chc lirsc rew 400. before having to drop ou1 or reduce his pocc tO • vir1ual jog before chc ronish.

lrucead or being so impulsive, Alhlete 8 should luvc related the session to his own

"I U$ed lO run OM way all the time. but in 11\oscdays I wun't u suc=sful as I am now." she ~ys.

Jndocd, though a steady participant in top levd athletic& for many yuis now. it is in lhe last three that Yvonne has rcaUy "come of age", a fact which she puts down to the shrewd coaching methods of Boyle, whom she joined in 1987.

"I think what Tommy has done is quite right. In the past I'd run around thirty rllQCS a year and get a lot of seccnd and third plaocs. I wasn't rcaUy recoaniscd although I WU

She also socs it as a major personal ach.ievemen.t given the numerous problems which beset her in the year leading up to the cvcnL

"My body had pnct.ically given up under the strain of nwncrous viruses and bugs. and l' d also gone through a lot of stress because of changing coaches. Coming through to get third place in what turn<d out to be a fantastic l'1ICe after all that was really something special. I was also pleased because it was my first yCM with Tommy."

The relationship between Boyle and his prodigies has been much publicised • often, it seems in the view or both coach and this alhlete at any rate. 50mcwhat unkindly.

-

Boyle feels this stems from ··a typically Scottish d4Site' to devalue the succcssflll. llut whale.Ver the reason. one thing is clear and that is thAI Yvonne has o.nly praise for the way Boyle has handled her developmcnL

"It's essential to a good coach-athlete relationship (ha.[ both paniM arc able to communicate. and rationalise.•• she reflects. .. With Tommy I can discuss anything thal is worrying me. be it personal or purely to do with running and when nccessazy he'll alter ttaining to suit.

Yvonnc's decision to move to the guardianship of Boyle has brought more than improved performances. Until recently it also provided her with a very generous sponsorship deal with Glen Henderson. one which she hopes she can match over the crucial period running up to the Olympics.

.. What we had with Mr Henderson was really ideal;' she says. "I had a pan time job with the company and the security of a wage at

the end of the month. I also had a ear with all running coru and petrol paid for me. In this sense i1 was a fairly normal deal. A unique situation existed though. in that the sponsor worked together with myself. Tommy, my physiologist Dt Myra Nimmo and physiotherapist Dave McLean as pan of a team. What we wa.nt is to achieve something similAt with another company. At lhe moment we're jus1 at the stage of considering the various options:•

Though she still has her share offinancial worries to deal with, Yvome looks back on her early days in the sport as the hardest. Coming Crom a working class backgrotmd and a large family, the money for tracksuits, spikes, and all the other clothing and equipment required by a serious athlete was not easy to find.

11 was only through some enterprising initiatives of her own. such as buying and reselling bars of scap for a small pro(i~ together with the unflinching support of her parents and first coach, Bill Gentleman. that she managed to '"survive".

Not surprisingly, given all this. Yvonne has a. strong interest in the support givco to young athletes today and believes tha1 more has to be done to encourage and help them.

.. Bodi myself and Tom MeKcan get a 101

of leuers from youngsters asking for advice on everything from where to find a good coach \0

how to pay for equipmcnL While we don't mind helping where we can, you can't help thinking there should be somebody else tolting this responsibility in an official capacity."

Just how long Yvonne will be requiring sponsorship for is a matter she hun 't quite decided on.

While she has indicated a willingness to hang in until the 1996 Olympics 11 Atlanta she says cautiously that she intends to wait and see how she feels af<Cr BarcelonL The lifestyle, while good in that it allows her to uavcl more lhan the average man or woman of her age_ is, •he finds. pressurised.

go out and meet all my old frionds;· she says. .. Anyway it can be really nice just to get away from athletics for a change ...

A heroine in her home town of Musselburgh, Yvonne usually finds it more than a little difficult to satisfy this desire for a change of scene.

Most places she goes she is recognised (though she revea.ls with a wry twinkle that more than a few o( the people who greet her in the street address her as l..iz). l t is also not unknown for her to be reprimanded by well meaning locals for slipping a chocolate bar into Iler shopping tr0Ucy at the supcrmatkeL There is, she says. very little oppo11uni1y to forget that she"s an athlete.

For all th111, Yvonne is recognised bY all those who have had the pleasure of meeting her as a caring and bubbly personality who pursues the numerous appearances she makes for charity with as much zeal as she docs everything else. including athletics - a fact which no doubl helped her to a well deserved MBE in this year's New Year's Honours LisL

"l'm well aware that athletics can be a very short lived career - one bad injury and you arc finished," she says ... , think it"s good to keep interested in other things and to know thcrc•s more to lire".

Greenock Wellpark Harriers

FOUNDED in 1891 forlhepurposeof promoting amateur ath1oties in gencral 1J1d cros.s country running in parli<ular, Grcenock Wellpark Huricn have won many honours lhroughout lhe yun. with GWP alhleies making their black and white co lows well known in Scoaish alhJdics · although i1 would be fair to add. as thcy ~ their eentcnlt)', lha1 lhe club's fortWWe$ have often been higher.

The Wellpark clubhouse is today siru11ed a short distance from !he main Invcrkip road II Gatesidc, but the original premises were located in lhc cellar of a house in Lynedoch Street. The club derived its nune bec&u.sc of its close proximity, 1t lh11 time, to !he Well Parle and !he club badgedepicu lhcold well wbieh isstillto be found in !he park.

ln 1899 lhe location was moved to Nile Street ond the club renuincd there until 1912 wltal beUcr facilities were obtained at Pirie Parlt. 01 Ranlcin Park as it is now known. The club, through nocusity, had to move once again in 1925. due to the widening of the Invcrldp Rood. The pavilion was dismanOcd and rc-crectod on i1.1 present site with an extension and many improvements.

Financial aid to accomplish this was given by !he "Merry Men",agioupo( clubmcrnbess who gave a series of Saturday cvcnlng conccru in lhe Ternpennoe Jmliruie. These were well supported by the public ond, in addition to being most enjoyable, wcn: of a very hiJ;h Jtandardl

The First World Wtrr severely cunailed lhcclub's activities, and 15 of the 70mcmbers who served were killed in action.

In 1947 Frw Sincllir won lheScoaishonc mile trade championship, an achievement whi<;h he n:puted in 19SO and Tom Stevenson was perhaps a liule unlucky not to win this event in 1951 when he was n"'°wly bealCft for !he title, Tom's brolhcr John Stevenson hod lhedistinctioo of representing Orcat Britain in an international 3000 mcttcs r.rackevent in France. n.n achievement

In !he long distance everus. !he club's big name of the period was George King.

A great deal of the club's success of this period must be attributed to the late Alex Reid who so thoroughly organised lhe social and alhletic activities and engendered such team spirit and enthusiasm r.h.at the team was almost unbeaten during his term as president He was the club's "Mr Everybody" for many, many years, and died only a few years ago.

R. Mclaren. A past president and dub treasurer for ovec: 20 yurs. he was ror a long time the guiding influence in the club's administration.

lnrceenttimes athletes such asGenyGa!fncy and John Duffy (no longer a member) have kept

the dub'scolours 10 the fore in midd~ dislance running, but a club which once boosted fow cuncnt full Sconish internationalists hasn't hod another for the last two decades.

UNIVERSITIES

Setting the record straight on Students' Championships I WOULD Hkc to take the opportunil)I this month 1ocluify lhe Scottish Universities' position regarding lhe proposed BriliJh Students' Championsh.ip, wrl/~1

Gonlon Rllt~u. Thcpositionwu.u I undcntand

it, perfectly clear to all srudent athlctU. Unfortunately. a well known coach wilh a vcsl<d interest in theevcn1 hu chosen IO spread ilJ. inf onned rumours about thc fixture in an effort IO diJc<odit myselr and to miJJe.d thc athlelCI involved.

For lhosc not familiar wilh thc background. lhe World SIUdcnt Game• UC being held in SheC!icld lhis year. In an effort to give lhe officials a ''dry·n1n·· prior to these championshipc. lhc powcrs·thlll·be decided to run 1 joint student event shortly prior to the World Game. ThiJ, it wu intended. would replace lbe 111nual British Universities even!.

The British Students' would iuc:up0111etheunivcrsitia.colleges and polytcoluUCS. The idea WU fltJI

mool<d in Antrim at lhe 1990 UniversiticsOwnpionsltipc. On the return journey. I discussed the position with many of the Scottish athletes Ind the overwhelming view was of opposition to a joint cvenL

This WU due 10 lhe incrcued cost~ the joint event would run over three or four days • and the significantly high<>r 11andud or competitioo which would eff ectivcl y reduce all but a handful of Scots 10

the role or also ran.•. u the majority would not pro8JCU beyond the first rolltld. For these reasons. the initial ruction or lhe Scots was not flVOlD''abte.

Furthct clUcuuions occurred at a UK kvel, and I reported these matters 10 lhe dub capl.lins in early October. At that time. there were three options before the athletes. They could either aucnd Sheffield. mange an &ltcmativc fixture in S<X>lland, or seek an alternative fixlllre south or the border.

Once again, they rejected the Sherlicld meeting, but feh that IJlOthcr m•tch in Scotland would lead IO the Scots becoming isolal<d from the UK sl\ldenu.

As a rcsul~ I was mandated IO

sock a suitable alternative fuuure on the date or the Sheffield event. The first choice fixture for the Scota was the proposed English Univcnitie.s' Championshipc. Or you ""' confused, you ue in good company. How can there be a British Students' Championship if there are no SCOI$ whatsoever and no English University slUdcnts eithcr7)

The proviso auachcd IO thU design was that if individual athl<ICI wished to all<nd ShelT'Jeld. lhey could do so. Every effort would be made ionise funding for atcun trip lO one match. and some indiYidua.ls going IO Sheffield. The captains, quite rightly I believe. decided thlll they could not force athletes IO

compete or not compete in either evenL

Unfortun11ely, thenirnourbcing ci.rculal<d it that I am preventing Scouish athletes from competing in Sheffield. Nothing could be further from the trulh.

The choice is being left with the individual, although the olT'icial tum competition will be elsewhere. Junay be, however, thal if no suitable altemativefixnaeeanbcfound. the Scotsmayrducuntlyscndaroduccd le.Im IO Sheffield.

What thc troublc·making cooch is not saying. however, is th1t he i.s organising lhe Shcrlield event and needs the backing or the Scou to justify the \obcl of a.Orilish Student evenL M a result. it appcus '° I.he writer that he is deliberately manipulating the facts IO miJlead the athlcw for his own political gain.

His own conlael with student athletes iJ limil«I to a •cry small pcrcauage who arc, on the whole, the athktcs who would pro8JCSS 10 late< rowids or the British Students' even!. and it would appeu that his opinions are also Llinl«I by thei.r views.

However. lhc OYcrwhelming view or the athlci.e. is that they c111nouec any benefit 10 them from a joint student event. and as such would rather compete elsewhere.

I trust that thU cluinos the position and puts an end to any rumours.

•O S.011Jnd'1 Runner FebNlrf 1991

Bad news at East Districts SATURDAY, December 8. was a particularly cold, windy day. Centnl Scotland, eenoinly near .sea level. escaped the large amounts of snow tha1 blonkctcd much of Ille rest of the country, both 10 lhe nonh and south.

Driving conditions in these pans made ii imposslbJc for some runners to get to lhc EasL Di . .iricl Cross Country wgue races II Falkirk. Even so, lhere were rea.sonabJe fields there with the local club doing patticularly well.

But as a spectator of the colts' race, 1 was dismayed 10 wimess something thal slopped my invo1vcmcnt in boys• footbaU several years ago. As the youngstc,.. rounded the fai end of the loch before the dash lo the finish. one "coach". or parcn~ was getting himself worked into a rage a.bout the pcrfomuncc of one or two youngsters in his club.

This cannot be good for enco11n1ging kids in sport. Particularly in younger age grouJl", there should be no such pressure put on them. Positive encouragement yes. pressure no. All the kids who IOOk pan deserved 10 be applauded. no matter whelher they won or were lML

This is much more likely "' keep them in the sport and to make them want IO improve lhemselves Lh.a.n to chuck it because some old guy is having a heart attack thinking Ibey could have ran bcucr, ra.s1er, more wisely or whatever.

Jack the lad at Brougton THE Cltrisunas and !'few Year period is a time when clubs organise their own races or when there arc a number o f open festive runs on.

Despite prcuy rough weather over the period. there seems to h.avc been a good turnout at most Two hundred runners - all braver than me - cumcd out for the PonobcJlo Promcthon on New Year's Day.

I saved myself for the traditional pilgrimage 10 the Grcennu.nOe Dash at Brough10n on January 2. TIUs year, despite a great deal of water lying around, the race wa~ won again by Jack Maitland ln a new record time • no doubt blown up lhe hill by the sttong wind.

The apres.race in Ille newly refurbished GrecnmantJc Hotel was as enjoyable u the pri7.:c. giving was entertaining. But one question which still hasn't been answc,red -how come lack Maitland runs for Pudsey and Bramley all year. but for Leeds University al

the Grccnroan~e Dash?

Sco1l1nd's Runntr Ftbru&rv 1991

Only attainable resolutions THIS time of year is a common one for people making resolutions. Some of these might even be about running. My only piece of advice, speaking from dismal experience. is not 10 make unreasonable or unattainable .. even unnecessary · resolutions. Examples might be co train every day or to ptL<h the number of miles up from 30 per week 10 50 per week. Such plans can completely deslIOy morale when injwy sets: in.

Having said tha~ planning ahead certainly pays dividends. Races not previously ancmpted before ca.n prove to be dramatic in revitalising interest ir pcrCormances have been slipping or if boredom bas set in. It'• also wonh planning something a bit diffcrenL Examplt.s might be a hill race. if you've ne.vcr done one before. or trying out the uaclc at an open graded meeting or one of the league meetings if thaL ·s new to you. Even if you don't want to race on the track, there are plenty around which welcome casual use. and lhey arc not all that expensive to use.

My strongest recommendation for a resolution to any rurmcr who is not already a member of a club is "' go along and rry it for a few week< and then join up. If you want advice on that. drop me a line and I'll malce a few suggestions about Ille best one(s) in your aru.

Uninspiring coverage I W ATCREO with inicrcst the Cowity Owham International Cross Country races, •hown on television. I enjoyed watching the struggles al the head of the field in the races shown. However, I can't help thinking that coverage of distance events not held on the ttack could be much bett<.r.

There was very Uule footage of nwicrs further down the field ond the battles and struggles that were taking place there. Similarly, 111 the end of the race, keeping the cameras on the fin.ish would have revealed a great deal more of the drama tha.t is usually evident as runners baule il oul to the finish line.

I was also quite a.s:to\Dldcd to sec a "cross country" cowse that more resembled a golf course than the mud and Oood that is more familiar in most atcu!

DIARY

Hardy annual MY !Ult goe< off to Ille hardy spectators wbo troop out to Meadowbank evety year to wateh the New Y eat SprinL Condit.ions arc often cold

,ond sitting in the stadiwn for long periods of time requires a lot of dedication. or inner WlmlthJ

This series of professional races has had ilS 0

ups and downs, but remains a favourite amongst professional runners.

One thing it docs for me is 10 highlight the out of date siri.J:arion that exists in the relationship between ''amateur·· 1J1d "profes.&ional" &lhletics in dtls country. Professional runners in this cowiuy cannot make a ~ving out of their spon but some amateurs if they get to, or near, the top in lhcir sport, can. This cannot be righL

Perhaps 1991 will see sensible discussion taking place that removes the penalty suffered by honest ''professional" athleics which prcv<:lcs them from competing against ••amateur" athletes who can store up siiable amouncs or money in their trusl fwds.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not against runners being rewarded ~ financially or otherwise for oulSlandin.g performanc:c. I've trained alongside "professional" athletes and didn't notice anything odd alx>ut them. I am against a $ystcm which prevents all aihletes competing together.

Start time· problem AT the Falkirl< meeting, IJ\d also the week before at the Lita Alim meeting al Kirkcaldy, I had a great deal of difficulty finding out at what times Ille various races started. Please, plea.se would race organisers, when they a.re advertising race meetings. give the times of the various races. It would useful too if the SCCU handbook published the start times of races.

Success at Clova THE Olen Clova race catainly drew 1 bundle of much dcsuvcd praise. and rightly so. I hear that the organisers arc expecting a deluge of entries of this ycar·s evcnL To try and cope . they have to limit the siu of the field because of the nature of the location • they are considering giving priority 10 those who ran in 1990.

I think (hey are quit.e right but would suggest that they set a closing date for guaranteed entry considered. There can·1 be that many half marathon style races in ScoOand which ore in the position of being vastly oversubscribed.

Any other news or gossip to the usual address.
