Life since, and ran in the A team for the next 13 years, membership is the ultimate honour before being “promoted” to Masters at age 42. the club can give, and in Grant’s case it is recognition for over 16 years of outstanding service. 2012 has been a superb year for Grant - illustrated by the truck he needed to hire to transport home all the trophies he collected at the club prize-giving! But life membership is recognition for Grant’s contribution well beyond what he did competitively in 2012. Grant joined Scottish in 1996. My first vivid recollection of Grant was in the weeks prior to the 1996 NZ Road Relay. The Men’s A team, of 1996 National Road Relay, whew didn’t stuff it up! which I was captain, had a late withdrawal of one of the team’s leading runners (Steve Hunt). As I stressed about who the replacement runner would be, I noted the rapid improvement during I could fill up this whole magazine with details of the season of a new member, one Grant McLean. Grant’s competitive performances, and still not I gave Grant a time trial the Saturday two weeks do them justice. But highlights include: before the Road Relay (15:41), then the next • 40 team and individual NZ championship day he went out and won the Hutt Valley half medals marathon in 1:12, and so I then (nervously) • Five NZ Road Relay gold medals with Scottish added Grant to the A team - and put him on the (more than any other male member) last lap.

I know you’ve been training for the big day (a.k.a. marathon day) for a while now so it’s normal to get anxious as the day approaches. I’ve been there too. As a runner, I’ve dealt with the rigors of marathon training and the nervousness as the race nears, none more so than before my first marathon, the New York City Marathon or before I won the National Masters Trail Marathon Championships a few years ago.

  • 12-Week Sprint Training Plan for Newbie Triathletes
    INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH AND YOUR WEALTH 12-week Offi cial title sponsor of the Sprint training plan for newbie triathletes www.ajbell.co.uk Key notes Please fi nd below a 12-week ‘newbie’ standard Sprint distance triathlon training plan to help you prepare for your event. • This 12-week training plan is designed to get a novice triathlete through a Sprint distance triathlon. It is not a complex or hugely time-consuming programme, but it will get you to the fi nish line in good shape. • In order to be able to complete the training you should have a reasonable level of fi tness at the start of the training. A prerequisite would be that you can swim 200m continuously, you can cycle for 30minss and run for 20minss. • The training sessions can be completed in a number of locations. The swim sessions are all designed for in a pool, the bike sessions could be done either outdoors or indoors, the same goes for the running sessions. We would strongly advise that you do spend some time training outdoors so that you get time training in similar conditions to those that you will be racing in. • We also would strongly advise that while the swim sessions in this programme are pool oriented you should be looking to get some open water swimming done in preparation for your race. All novice triathletes benefi t greatly from getting the experience of what it is actually like to swim in open water with other swimmers. It is arguably the most daunting part of the race for all triathletes.

  • Running Workout Descriptions Easy/Recovery Run: Purpose
    Running Workout Descriptions Easy/Recovery Run: Purpose: Easy runs are slow runs usually within 24 hours after a harder run to promote recovery, while maintaining or advancing our cardiovascular fitness and our body’s adaptation to running. They should be kept easy and likely between 90-120 seconds slower than your marathon pace. If you feel you need to go slower then by all means do so. You should be comfortable enough that you can carry on a conversation. Going easy gives you a mental break and allows you to relax while running. You want to be able to push harder on hard days so take it easy on recovery days. Tempo Run: Purpose: This is a great workout to stress both stamina and endurance as well as develop mental toughness. Tempo runs should be comfortably hard which means you are working relatively hard, but the pace is manageable for a fairly long time. The pace is usually an effort that you can only sustain for 60 minutes and around 80-90% of VO2 max. Start conservative and ease into it, then hold a nice steady effort and settle into a good rhythm. Intervals (VO2 Max Repeats): Purpose: To maximize aerobic power (VO2 max) to improve the amount of oxygen the body can deliver to the muscle cells by stressing the heart, lungs, and VO2 max. The actual workout may vary on how many intervals you perform. The pace ranges from 3 -5 minutes with a slow recovery jog between each one. This is a pace you can hold in an all effort for 11-15 minutes.

  • The Effects of Bicycle Geometry on Sprint Triathlon Running Performance Howard T Hurst 1* and Catherine Jones1
    J Sci Cycling. Vol. 5(3), 28-34 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The Effects of Bicycle Geometry on Sprint Triathlon Running Performance Howard T Hurst 1* and Catherine Jones1 Abstract Previous research has shown that riding with a steeper (81°) than normal (73°) bicycle seat tube angle (STA) can improve subsequent run performance during Olympic distance triathlon that involve a 1500 m swim, 40 km cycle and 10 km run. However, such races often utilise pacing strategies during the run phase that may have influenced previous findings. Conversely, Sprint distance triathlons (750 m swim, 20 km cycle and 5 km run) are generally performed at a higher intensity, both during the cycle and run legs. Few studies have focused on Sprint triathlons, therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect cycling with different STA’s had on subsequent sprint triathlon running performance. Ten trained amateur male triathletes (34.8 ± 10.9 years), completed two 20 km time trials on a cycle ergometer, one with a STA of 73° and one with a STA of 81°. Both conditions were followed immediately by a 5 km treadmill based running time trial and were completed as fast as possible. Time (min:s), heart rate (Beats.min-1), oxygen consumption (ml.kg.min-1) and rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were recorded for both run and cycle legs. Additionally, during the cycle leg, mean power output (W), mean cadence (rpm) and mean velocity (km.h-1) were recorded. For the run leg, velocity (m.s-1), stride length (SL, in m) and stride frequency (SF, in Hz) were additionally recorded.
