40th Canberra Half Marathon Weekend 16/17th May 2009

The 40th Canberra Half Marathon and the 40th Annual Rex Foulkes Memorial Half Marathon will be held on Sunday 17th May. On Saturday 16th we will hold a 5k Fun Run and a 1.5k Mini Jog for children under 12 years as part of the Half Marathon Weekend.

The Saturday events are free to members of the ACTCCC.

ACT Vets Patron Jack Pennington OAM, is the founder of the Canberra Half Marathon. Along with Jack I hope to have some legends of the first half marathon either running or at least at the start of our 40th Half Marathon. Members and or ex members of ACTVAC who participated in that first Canberra Half Marathon some 39 years ago include Alan Wilson, Geoff Moore, Pat Fisher and ICP's Dave McInnis who came second.

To mark this very special occasion all half marathon finishers will receive a 40th Canberra Half Marathon Medal. As these medals need to be ordered well in advance of the event, I encourage you to enter early.

Thank you,

NOTICE OF MOTION

"The Committee gives notice that the following motion is on the agenda for the AGM on 19 May 2009: That, in accordance with s34 of the Club’s constitution, this general meeting amends the constitution so that “club” means the ‘ACT Masters Athletics Incorporated’, and ‘Masters’ replaces ‘Veteran’ or ‘Veterans’ where they occur."

In contrast to the ‘30 or 40-something’ ACT Veterans’ Athletic Club Incorporated and others connotation, one broad, common meaning of ‘veteran’ is believe that it is best if the Club changes its name to ACT ‘old’, or another word that has the same connotation, e.g. Masters Athletics Incorporated. Conflict can make some ‘seasoned’, ‘long service’, or even ‘a veteran of the people uneasy, and they and others will go to great lengths Australian Defence Force’. Further, today, there are many to avoid creating such situations, or avoid getting involved options for 30 and 40 year olds who may be interested in if they do arise. Conflict can be very damaging to the Club, athletic-type activities. For individuals who are not as people may withdraw, and eventually leave. Given this members, the term ‘Veteran’ can be a potent, if invisible, eventuality, each of us has an obligation to be both true to repellent.

Snell however, for the rest of his career joined the As the writer of this review I would think that the Lydiard troop for the overseas trips which Lydiard pericardium existed to prevent an over enlargement managed, but he was no longer coached by Lydiard. and it seems to indicate that the best way to enlarge The other Olympic champion in that group was the heart and the pericardium, is to do what the Murray Halberg who told Peter "You and Arthur are Kenyans do, which is to run from the cradle to the incompatible and complete opposites". Clearly Snell grave which is mankind's natural function. Snell also modified Lydiard's training to suit his lifestyle, as makes the claim that altitude training does not many others did. Those that did not, came to grief by enhance middle distance performance.

He does conclude that for distances this race. It would seem that “Cerutty beat Lydiard” lasting more than an hour only slow fibres are used in that race. Of course, in 1960, Snell beat Elliott's and then when they are depleted in glycogen the fast 3m54.5s mile world record with 3m54s.1 but he did fibres are recruited. not beat Elliott's 1,500m world record of 3m35s.
