ROAD RUNNERS ARE Off THE MOVE IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE . JUNE 5th, 1983» is the official date of opening our VMC RR OFFICE at 598 High Street, East Kew 3102, to better cope with the demands and needs of the expanding distance running scene o. For a start, we shall have a person to attend to callers - Telephone 80 10 33»noon - 2pm (1200 to 1400 hours) - Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday - and at other unspecified times , depending on the availability of voluntary helpers from among our membership. A PACE RIJN followed by a B.B.Q.(bring your own eats, drinks provided) commencing from 11.00am on JUNE 5 has been organised. Those who like to have their long Sunday run can cover all the extra distance beforehand and join in afterwards at Victoria Park right next to the office just below Harp Comer. The position is very close to the mid-point of the Melbourne metropolitan area and is in the heart of 1 Naturestrip Country' where you can run for hours with grass under your feet either along streets, along the old Outer Circle Railway, the chain of parks along the Tarra River and its tributaries or stick to harder surfaces like footpaths and roads o Being an active runners' club, without any commercial ties or outside promotional domi­ nation, the future well-being of the VMC RR is very much in the members' own hands. To maintain giving satisfaction and retaining financial viability we need to keep a level of membership in the vicinity of 1000, ensure regular continuity of our membership and take an active part in the conduct of our own affairs. There are runners everywhere, just as bur members are spread all over Melbourne, Victoria and, yes, Australia. If you belong to an active group who meet for training, running weekends, racing together or simply jogging through the parks and countryside for the sheer enjoyment of it, let us know and we'll tell others who may be looking for similar activity within your neighbourhood. You will find some details on Page 4 of this issue<> There are all sorts of different ways in which you can contribute in making the club wort to your benefit * Arrange for occasional batches of photo-copying, sending in news and results from your group or area, informing us of running venues and courses (could be your favourite training course !), assist with any of the tasks outlined on the membership form, distribute information and program of the VMC RR at other runs, use your ability or inclination to assist in various departments such as sales, social, administration, publicity and promotion, billet visitors from out of town, arrange for film or video showings, making or repairing equipment, etc, etc. Whatever is going to happen is up to us in the end,and the way new memberships as well as renewals have come in this year there is growing awareness among runners. Let's build on that and make our sport give us enjoyment,health and success.

  • Marathon Championship
    CLUB KIWIFRUIT FUND RAISING PICK As reported in Ramblings newsletter, 6th June, 1992. The annual Shallcross kiwifruit pick was once again offered to Tauranga Ramblers to give our funds a much needed boost so that we can subsidise club days, Bar-B-Q’s, Pinto, buses, newsletters and travel to major events. All in all club members receive more than their subscriptions cover, therefore we need full support from all participants for our fund-raising efforts. The club is very appreciative of the chances to earn this money and a special thanks go to Bill and Marge Shallcross for this fruit picking opportunity. It certainly beats selling raffle tickets and gives us the chance to do something other than one’s usual job or studies. It is quite an education especially the way different people see the hairy berries – their shapes and sizes I’ll leave to your imagination. Colin Clifton commented that it was a change from working alone. Teresa Coston was certainly the noisiest and Kristin McLoughlin one of the quietest, but it was good to see everyone turn out. Some brought their spouses, or sons and daughters. Robyn Bint did a great job removing all the kiwifruit stalks. Marge did a great job of keeping the team fed, while Nigel Hines had done an absolutely fantastic job chasing along all members he could find. Over the two days we picked 162 bins compared to 166 last year. Unfortunately we couldn’t quite finish but Ramblers received $1400.00 for the two day’s work. Once again special thanks to Bill, Marge, Debbie, Russell, Rob Shallcross and his in-laws and to Nigel and Sheryl Hines for their organisation.

The concentration of potassium in the ileostomy discharge tended to increase, also suggesting a sodium retaining state. Healthy ileosto- mates after suitable training are successful marathon runners, but the prevalence of mild salt depletion in ileostomates generally suggests that it may be advisable for them to take only glucose-electrolyte solutions when competing at any ambient temperature or when preparing for a marathon which is to take place in a warm environment.

    ENDURANCE TRAINING By Mike Gratton 1983 London Marathon Winner WHAT ARE THE DEMANDS OF MARATHON RUNNING? You have to run for more than 2hrs Your energy reserves will become depleted In some races you will have up to 50,000 other runners in your way In some races you will have to run on Your own for a long way How do you prepare the body for such great demands? Recognise the demands of the event and build up steadily and systematically so that your body adapts gradually to these demands Your training should build over 12 to 16 weeks to gradually get close to the intensity of the marathon itself This means starting with a low level of intensity in your training – which is often called ‘base training’ - and then over time, running longer and faster as you get close to race day There may be different starting points depending on your running background: Established runners can build up the long run at the start of their training block and gradually increase the speed of the run towards race day Runners with some running back ground can build up the long run fairly quickly over the first half of the block then increase the speed towards race day Beginners will concentrate on gradually building up the length of the long run towards race day. YOUR LONG RUNS Build Endurance Cause adaptations to bones, muscle and cardio vascular system Develop energy systems and promote fat burning How far depends on your fitness levels – base on time rather than distance with optimal target of 2 to 2.5hrs CONSISTANCY IS THE KEY Frequency of training has been shown to be the most important factor in developing fitness.
