When it comes to making our lives easier, machines have really done a good job. Maybe too good. Machines save us so much work, they’ve actually put our bodies out of a job. They’re killing us. But runners are bringing this country back to life again. It started about 10 years ago when a small group of people took a good look at the billowing bellies around them, and ran for their lives. Since then running has swept across America. And it’s become more than something that makes you feel better. It’s something you can’t live without. To some of us, running is a way of life. Nobody understands that better than Nike. Because we’re runners, too. By following you, we’ve become the leaders. So when we design shoes, we don’t go to computers, we go to runners. Nike Headquarters The reason for that is simple. ^ * ^ ^ ^ 8285 SW Nimbus Avenue, Machines can’t run.

As our co­ ver photo shows, there are no age li­ mits in the sport. This photo was ta­ ken near the finish of the popular TRAC 10-kilometer run in San Jose in late May.

    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.

Racers may not ride on or below this band. The area below the blue band extending to the grass is called the “apron.” ¨ The black “measurement line” is used to measure the distance around the track. When doing pursuits or time trials, use this line as a guide. ¨ The red “sprinter’s line” defines the border of the sprint lane. The leading rider in this lane is said to “own the lane” and may only be passed by a rider going over on the right. NO PASSING BELOW RIDERS IN THE SPRINTERS LANE. Additionally once a sprint is engaged, a racer who is leading and in the sprinter’s lane can not leave it. ¨ The uppermost blue line is the “stayer’s line” or the relief line. It marks the boundary between faster and slower traffic, with the faster riders below the line and the slower “relief” riders above the line.

In school, he ran and boxed, but was most interested in rugby football. Because of the Great Depression of the 1920’s, Lydiard dropped out of school at 16 to work in a shoe factoryc. Lydiard figured he was pretty fit until Jack Dolan, president of the Lynndale Athletic Club in Auckland and an old man compared to Lydiard, took him on a five-mile training jog. Lydiard was completely exhausted and was forced to rethink his concept of fitness. He wondered what he would feel like at 47, if at 27 he was exhausted by a five-mile run. Lydiard began training according to the methods of the time, but this only confused him further. At the club library he found a book by F.W. Webster called “The Science of Athletics.” But Lydiard soon decided that the schedules offered by Webster were being too easy on him, so he began experimenting to find out how fit he could get.

    Abstract There are thousands of young drivers racing go karts and in the lower formulas, all hoping to make careers as professional racers. At the other end of the spectrum, there are 22 drivers on the Formula One grid each year, and only one of them can become world champion. Clearly, the odds are stacked against anyone becoming a professional driver in F1 or any of the other major racing series: IndyCar, NASCAR, DTM, etc. Learning the skills needed to compete at such a high level requires years of practice and the investment of hundreds of thousands of dollars. And even after all that, nothing is guaranteed. This paper explores that difficult path to the top, both the traditional route from karting through the various formulas, and a new option: simulator-based training and racing, which is quickly proving to be a viable—if still rare—route for young drivers. Advanced simulator technology is making racing more accessible, but even with the new technology, drivers still need support to make the most of it. Virtual Racing School (VRS) was created to provide that support to the next generation of motorsport champions. From analyzing and interpreting telemetry to tracking performance and trends to developing personalized training plans, VRS is being developed to assist drivers from the moment they take their first laps on a simulator all the way through a successful on-track racing career. It is a long, difficult and expensive road… While the technology of racing cars has advanced significantly over the past few decades, the methods for identifying driver talent have not.

    April 15, 2019 Dear Members of the Media, On behalf of the Boston Athletic Association, principal sponsor John Hancock, and all of our sponsors and supporters, we welcome you to the City of Boston and the 123rd running of the Boston Marathon. As the oldest annually contested marathon in the world, the Boston Marathon represents more than a 26.2-mile footrace. The roads from Hopkinton to Boston have served as a beacon for well over a century, bringing those from all backgrounds together to celebrate the pursuit of athletic excellence. From our early beginnings in 1897 through this year’s 123rd running, the Boston Marathon has been an annual tradition that is on full display every April near and far. We hope that all will be able to savor the spirit of the Boston Marathon, regardless whether you are an athlete or volunteer, spectator or member of the media. Race week will surely not disappoint. The race towards Boylston Street will continue to showcase some of the world’s best athletes. Fronting the charge on Marathon Monday will be a quartet of defending champions who persevered through some of the harshest weather conditions in race history twelve months ago. Desiree Linden, the determined and resilient American who snapped a 33-year USA winless streak in the women’s open division, returns with hopes of keeping her crown. Linden has said that last year’s race was the culmination of more than a decade of trying to tame the beast of Boston – a race course that rewards those who are both patient and daring.

    A Short History of St Martins Athletic & Harrier Club

    A Short History of St Martins Athletic & Harrier Club Foreword The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the founding of the St Martins Athletic and Harrier Club. This brief history has been prepared to mark the occasion, for although St Martins no longer exists as such, it continues in the form of its successor, Port Hills Athletic, formed when St Martins merged with Cashmere Hillmorton in 2002. In preparing this history, it became evident that besides the names of those mentioned herein, the history of running and track and field in St Martins has been one of countless numbers of people taking up the sport and then enthusiastically giving of their time and energy. Many of those are still with the sport, even more have ‘moved on’ for various reasons, whether it be that their children grew up, they moved to somewhere else, they were no longer able to compete because of age or disability and so on. Be that as it may this history is therefore a salute to all those who have so generously given to the sport in so many ways over fifty years. Thank you to John Dumergue, Kevin Jago, Graham White, Les Woods who provided feedback on the preliminary version. ~ Stuart Payne August 2015 1 Contents Beginnings page 3 Club growth 6 Children’s athletics 19 Flagship and other events 22 Clubrooms 24 Club newsletter 27 Social activities 30 Governance 32 Umbrella club participation 35 Amalgamation 36 Some high-profile achievements 37 Conclusion 39 Appendices - A.
