He has laps of broken the Australian mark twice since honour. first knocking off Ron Peters’ record last year. Peters still holds several other Australian records but Keith is not far behind. He is now National record holder in his age group for the 3000m, a distance that really has his name written all over it. He has hammered it with regularity for 3 years, gradually bringing his time down until the huge breakthrough on 31 January where he took a massive 10 seconds off the old (his own) record!

MTG Co-ordinator Phil Skurrie 0411 066 348 Back in November last year, Keith was given the honour by his fellow team STaR Maps mates of being last runner in our 200+relay team that broke a State record for Tony Kellner 0409 463 861 4x1500m. When you break a record, you beat all comers over all time; not just the ones you are up against on the day. Uniforms Managers Samantha Isbell 0404 913 800 Last year Keith had the highest, single occasion, age and gender points for the Social Functions year, in the club. Everyone in the club gets them for every race, so, on his best Chris Truscott 0402 464 047 performance for the year he beat the best performance of anyone else for the Jo Cowan 0410 594 189 whole year. Internal Events Fran Boorer 0421 985 328 Putting Keith’s 1500 performance in another way, it is possible through the use of calculators (available from Masters) to determine how Keith, now 53, would Volunteer Co-ordinator Liz Woodhams 0412 396 881 be performing if he were a younger runner. If he were 25 again (he can only hope), Keith’s 1500 time (4minutes 11 seconds last year) would be New Members’ Liaison approximately 3minutes 41 seconds. He would miss out on Olympic B selection Pauline Evans 0400 392 976 by two seconds and Olympic A qual by 5 seconds. He could overcome this by Calendar either: disguising himself as a woman and entering as a female, probably Rob Chalmers 0410 933 140 winning but subsequently failing the sex test, or: insure a B Qualifier by just running a bit harder ( he needs half a second per lap). I reckon you’d opt for the Mailout Manager Tina Campbell 0488 774 744 latter if you were that close to Olympic selection. Having said that, if we moved back in time and Keith was running as a 25 year old and running as well as he is Sergeant-at-arms now, on present results he probably would have gone to the Olympics because Denise Wilson 0417 693 350 the qualifying standard would have been lower back then. 2 BLISTER 107 JANUARY - APRIL 2009 By SHARON CALLISTER NOVEMBER 8TH 2008 ITALY INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF ULTRA RUNNERS 100km W orld Cup Wow ….100km Race Training road race, it’s a tough gig and Training for not for the faint 2008 Comrades hearted!

This is where my troubles began as for wanting to be part of this race. Firstly it was a great every time I tried to put the work in I seemed to get opportunity for me to represent Australia. A few years injured. ago I never would have thought such an opportunity would come my way, so when it did, I jumped (or ran) at I look back now and it is clear my body was in need of a it.

  • TREVOR JACOBS– Ultra Insanity
    trevor 2/7/05 10:57 PM Page 1 Interview Trevor Jacobs – Ultra insanity By Daniel Green Name: Trevor Jacobs Date of Birth: One day in about 1951 Place of Birth: Bordertown, SA Sponsors: Huh? Oh yes – Qantas provided me with a half price ticket to Europe once which was gratefully appreciated. Currently Living: Yes! and in Canberra. Martial Status: Married to Josephine Occupation: Civil Engineer working in the water resource/environmental management field with the Murray- Darling Basin Commission. Height: 178cm Weight: 65kg Shoe Size: 10 Hair colour: Browny-greyish mix Favourite shoe colour: Anything really, except pink. They end up dirty looking pretty quickly anyway. Most loved pair of runners you have ever had: My first pair of runners (Asics Tiger) in 1981 as they felt really comfortable compared with the Dunlop Volleys I’d been using before that. Today, it’s Brooks Racer that I like best because they are comfortable, very durable and light so they are great for training as well as racing. Favourite race: I have so many favourite races that I generally follow a yearly cycle. Currently they include the 6 Foot Track, Canberra Marathon/50km, City to Surf, Oxfam Trailwalker, Brindabella Classic and various mountain races, together with a few rogaines and orienteering events. I like them all really! Today though, my favourite of the favourites would have to be the 6 Foot Track because it seems to suit me really well as I can finish close to the leaders more so than in any other race, giving a nice feeling. Super Sport Images Your top 3 running record with the numerically prefect time of Crackenback Challenges and on and on it experiences/performances: 3.33.33 in 1992.

    Staff views on sport Many teachers at Cathedral College claim to be experts on sport. I asked them their views on several matters. This week I asked them to list their 5 greatest Australian sporting moments of all time. Remember, some of our staff are a little older so have seen a lot more football in their time. For example, Mr. Newbold is much, much older than Mr. Clark. More lists will appear in the coming weeks.

  • Standard Tables 2020 E.S.A.A
    Standard Tables 2020 E.S.A.A. National Standards are those performance levels for which standard badges may be purchased at the National Championships. Entry Standards are the minimum performance levels normally required for an athlete to be selected for a County Team for the National Championships. County Standards correspond to a good standard of performance by an athlete competing in a County Championship meeting. District Standard corresponds to a good standard of performance by an athlete competing at a District Championship meeting. These may need amendment to suit the variations in type of District Championship staged. School Standard corresponds to a good standard of performance by an athlete competing at a School Championship meeting. Except for Year 7 and 8 tables - the age groups, events and event specifications are as set out in the Track and Field Competition Rules. Years 7 and 8 The variety of events and specifications is offered in order to cater for the intense athletic interest and for the rapid physical changes which take place at this stage. It is stressed that success in the initial teaching of athletics stems from the understanding that the physical challenge to the pupil should not exceed that which can be comfortably handled. All children, therefore, should be started with light implements and low hurdles, and be allowed to progress as appropriate to themselves. This will almost certainly create some problems of organisation at school level, but these are NOT insurmountable. The Standards shown for younger age groups and for School and District level are being re-worked to match the Awards Scheme.

This project compares the women’s 1500-meter world record times to the time elapsed between when they were run. The function of time which describes this comparison is found through graphing the data and interpreting the graphs. Then the obtained model function is compared to the real time data. The conclusions drawn from the result include that the calculated function of time lacks in accuracy as time elapsed increases, but the model could be used to estimate the future world records.
