News and reviews Bob Wright Handicap Series Race Two; 10 / 5 kilometres road walk by Rob Elliott Race winner Terry Bates left it late to move into the lead in the 10 kilometres road walk at Delancey. With one lap of just over 600 metres to go he was still 44 seconds behind the race leader Mick Le Sauvage, but edged ever closer before a strong effort on the final short climb gave him victory by five seconds. The win was well timed as Terry recorded a negative split time, passing half way in 31.24, with a 31.12 latter half. Third man home was Phil Lockwood, just outside the hour but showing a return to form. The walk of the day was by Peter Beckerleg, who gave himself a birthday present of a new personal best time by five seconds as he finished fourth with an actual time of 71.34. Jason Le Noury recorded the fastest time of the day with 54.46. Newcomer Sarah Wright, walking with Karen Farman recorded 40.44 for 5 kilometres.

His journey to the Peak of Athletic Achievement has been the toughest route I can recall for the 35 year old as he has been in the mix for 20 years often finishing in the top ‘6’ in Major Championships. However he always had the belief in himself to reach his destiny supported by his wife, Marian, herself the best 400 metres runner in Ireland presently. When he strode into the Stadium to defeat the Russian favourite Mikhail RYZHOV and record a super-fast time of 3 hrs 37 mins and 56 secs it really must have been ‘a dream come true’. I well remember watching him closely in the Mall London Olympic 50 Kms Walk and thinking how he must be kicking himself as his superb 4th place was so near but so far from the medals. For those of us who witnessed his BBC Interview with Jonathon Edwards, Denise Lewis and Michael Johnson after his Moscow triumph it was without doubt the best coverage for many a long year as he had a really bubbly personality and vividly described his thoughts and feelings over the multi-lap circuit. As he said, ‘Heard the one about the little Irishman who entered Moscow’s old Olympic Stadium blowing kisses, having outclassed the World’s Top Race Walkers over more than 3 and a half hours, then looked up at the giant screen and thought to himself, “that fella in the green vest looks good!”? Along life’s way he has had countless setbacks but in a strange way these have made him mentally stronger, so much so that he must now be amongst the favourites for the next Olympics in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. Most of all he now joins a unique Club of three with Eamonn Coghlan and Sonia O’Sullivan and must surely be one of the Favourites for the ‘Irish Sports Personality of the Year’ too. Thanks for the marvellous memories! BMAF News by Ian Richards The major news for the month comes from the World Masters Championships being held in Porto Alegre, Brazil. These biennial championships are important not just for the athletic events that will take place but also for the outcomes of the Congress that will be held at the same time. One of the proposals on the agenda could have major ramifications for race walking in the UK and other countries that are over dependent on Masters competitors as it is only through their participation that many events are financially and logistically viable. Any rule change that might reduce their number, such as stricter enforcement of the bent knee rule even if it might be right from an athletic point of view, could have serious consequences. More next month. There were 297 walkers from 46 countries taking part in a 5km track, 10km and 20km road races. Only 6 UK walkers have made the trip. The first race was the 5km track which resulted in 2 medals. Gold, and a new world record, for Ian Richards and silver for Noel Blatchford. The male 65 was a fascinating two horse race. Australian Andrew Jamieson , WMA Master Athlete of the year across all athletic events and all ages in 2007, current holder of at least 8 world records and never beaten in a Masters competition since 1999 verses myself. I have jumped the gap this year between my performances in the 65 to 69 age group and those of Andrew but with a very inconsistent style and a number of DQs. I have always believed it would take a world record to beat him and that is what I have been working towards. I decided to take him on from the gun and lead all the way, just pilling on the pressure lap by lap uncertain who would crack first but gradually I pulled away to win by 32 secs breaking the world record by just 0.94 secs and no red cards! Page 2 of 27 Contact us at [email protected] or [email protected] November Race Walking Record 2013 In association with the Race Walking Association BMAF News cont’d In the female 65 race, South African Elsa Meyer was in a class of her own going into the lead from the gun and gradually moved away. Behind it started as a 3 way competition between Liz Feldman of Australia, Noel Blatchford and Jacqui Wilson from New Zealand. Jacqui soon dropped off the pace leaving Liz in the lead with Noel never more than about 10 metres behind for most of the race. Noel made sure she never lost touch keeping the pressure on Liz who picked up 2 reds. Over the last few laps Liz managed to increase the gap but Noel kept pressing. Although Liz crossed the line first she was then immediately DQ'd. A great performance by Noel. Solid performances from Dave Stevens, Gary Smith and Alan Roberts (see results section). Full results for all age groups can be found at https://wma2013.com/results More news from WMA by Noel Blatchford Tuesday saw the 10k with my race, women, age categories 60 upwards, first up, not long after dawn, at 7.00am. It was a little disconcerting to see much of the set-up (start-finish gantry, electronics, race course furniture, portaloos ….) arriving well after many of the walkers. Not surprisingly the race started late. The first three in the over 65s soon sorted into the same order as the 5000m, with South African Elsa Meyer at the front, followed by the Aussie Liz Feldman, and then me. I stuck close to Liz, sometimes level with her, but not confident enough to strike out ahead too soon. I planned to do it in the last 500m. Alas Liz had other plans, and having avoided red cards this time, she picked up the pace even more after the last bend. I couldn’t respond sufficiently so she stayed ahead to grab silver, five seconds ahead of me. By the time the men’s 10k races started mid-morning, the sun had appeared and bore down on the athletes. Once again Ian Richards, M65, set off at the front, along with the Aussie Andrew Jamieson. It was level pegging for a while, but unfortunately Jamieson got the better of Ian this time, who nevertheless finished with a good silver 50 seconds behind. Ed Shillabeer, M70, also won silver medal in the 10k, with a solid and consistent pace. Dave Stevens completed the trio in the first of the men’s 10k road races, and finished in eighth place, but was not denied a medal: the trio winning team silver in the M65 category (not bad with two of the team in their seventies). In the second of the men’s races, for the ‘youngsters’ from 35-59, Gary Smith finished in a creditable ninth place. After racing the 10k several athletes protested to the Chief Judge questioning the accuracy of course measurement.

  • Training Methods in Distance Running
    Knowing as transforming: training methods in distance running Manuel Graça Faculdade de Economia University of Porto, Portugal [email protected] & Department of Management Learning Lancaster University, UK [email protected] Abstract Athletics training is a field of practices where different approaches developed over the years in various countries and cultural contexts come together, and are adopted, integrated with other approaches, or even substantially transformed in a pursuit to achieve better performances. Therefore, training methodologies are originated locally, and subsequently, through the successes achieved by the athletes who follow them, they gradually come to be used by other athletes all over the world as resources in their own training programmes. However, rather than diffusion, there is often transformation in this process of displacing. On the basis of the knowledge athletes and coaches develop over the years about their individual reactions to different training approaches, there is adaptation and transformation when training methods are displaced and enacted by different athletes. This paper analyses the evolution of training methods in distance running, and highlights knowing as a local enactment that involves a process of displacing and transformation. Keywords: athletics; training methods; knowing; enactment. Suggested track: G. Practice-based perspectives on knowledge and learning 1 Introduction The traditional view of knowledge as a substance possessed by individuals, and located at a mental, intra-cranial level, has been challenged by practice-based approaches. The practice turn in contemporary theory (e.g. de Certeau, 1984; Bourdieu, 1990; Turner, 1994; Schatzki et al., 2001) has had an impact on how to approach knowledge and learning.
