Men’s field Stanley Biwott (KEN) will make his Bank of America Chicago Marathon debut as the seventh- fastest man in history over the marathon distance (2:03:51) and the 11th-fastest in history over the half marathon on a record-eligible course (58:56). Biwott made his mark in the Abbott World Marathon Majors with a victory at the 2015 TCS New York City Marathon, and with a standout performance at the 2016 London Marathon, finishing second to Eliud Kipchoge (KEN) in a career best, 2:03:51 (Biwott and Kipchoge share the 30K world record, 1:27:13, set during the London Marathon). Biwott has finished in the top five of 10 marathons. Feyisa Lilesa (ETH) gained international attention at the 2016 Rio Olympics when he finished the marathon with a silver medal. However, he initially made a name for himself in 2010 when, just two months after his 20th birthday, he became the youngest athlete to break 2:06 in the marathon with a 2:05:23 performance in Rotterdam. He has run well in Chicago, finishing third in 2010 and coming back in 2012 to chase Tsegaye Kebede (ETH) to the line for second place and a new personal best, 2:04:52.

  • The Long Distance Runner
    History of Tring Running Club Chapter ……. The Long Distance Runner “They stumble that run fast” Romeo and Juliet Tring Running Club embraces all forms of the sport based on covering the ground on two feet - road racing, cross country, fell running. Many members start to run with the club with the aim of improving fitness alongside like-minded individuals. Once the first 5k is done, runners often advance to a 10k and even to the half marathon distance. Some can’t resist the challenge of the full 26 mile marathon but there are a minority who, literally, don’t stop there. Ultra distance running embraces any distance over 26 miles and often takes place across remote and hilly locations. The early days Peter Hamson writes: “When Tring Jogging Club was founded in Spring 1981 it was inspired by the running boom of the time caused to a great extent by the running of the first London Marathon in April 1981. I remember when the first London Marathon was announced most runners thought it would not catch on. It had been modelled on the New York marathon which had been going for a few years but surely it would not catch on here. They may get a few hundred runners but that would be all. In the event there were over 7000. I was one of them (but not running for Tring RC in those days). I still remember it was a damp and miserable day but from that day on marathon running took off. It was no longer an event solely for the elite but for the masses as well.

  • Illustrated with the London Marathon
    The time distribution of biological phenomena – illustrated with the London marathon Miguel Franco Corresp. 1 1 School of Biological and Marine Sciences, University of Plymouth Corresponding Author: Miguel Franco Email address: [email protected] Background. The time distribution of biological phenomena (phenology) is a subject of wide interest, but a general statistical distribution to describe and quantify its essential properties is lacking. Existing distributions are limiting, if not entirely inappropriate, because their parameters do not in general correlate with biologically relevant attributes of the organism and the conditions under which they find themselves. Methods. A distribution function that allows quantification of three essential properties of a biological dynamic process occurring over a continuous timescale was derived from first principles. The distribution turned out to have three parameters with clear meanings and units: (i) a scaled rate of completion (dimensionless), (ii) a measure of temporal concentration of the process (units: time-1), and (iii) an overall measure of temporal delay (units: time). Its performance as an accurate description of the process was tested with completion data for the London Marathon employing non-linear regression. Results. The parameters of the distribution correlated with biological attributes of the runners (gender and age) and with the maximum temperature on the day of the race. These relationships mirrored known differences in morphology and physiology of participants and the deterioration of these biological attributes with age (senescence), as well as the known effects of hypo- and hyperthermia. Discussion. By relating the variation in parameter values to possible biological and environmental variables, the marathon example demonstrates the ability of the distribution to help identify possible triggers and drivers of the duration, shape and temporal shift of its temporal distribution.

In June we have had another successful OfSTED inspection which highlighted the great work we A have done over the last five years to further drive and improve the standards of education in our Academy. Last year, our 5 A*-C GCSE including English and Mathematics rose to 68% compared with the national figure of 57% percent. Equally impressive has been the Academy’s rapid improvement from a base of 43% 5 years ago. We also saw our best ever A level results with a 100 percent A*-E pass rate including 44% A*-B and 71% A*-C. The inspection team commented positively on our “markedly improved sixth form provision”. They highlighted “behaviour and conduct of our pupils as a strength of the school” and identified best practice in how the “culture and ethos of the school encourages a sense of community”. They also de- scribed the spiritual, moral, social and cultural aspects of the school as a strength. The inspection team rec- ognised how we have been “strident in your actions to increase the accountability of staff for pupils’ all-round development including academic outcomes, which show a marked improvement”.
