This year I am so pleased to announce a prestigious trophy that will reflect this - The Dominey-Brown Shield. Not only does this symbolise our club’s two founders, Alwyn Dominey and Graham Brown, it also highlights the importance of all the work behind the scenes. The amount of time that people put in, quite frankly, is huge and as chairman I have an advantage of seeing all this work going on, so now the committee and I have the opportunity to recognise this. The trophy will be perpetual and can go on each year to continue to recognise the hard work. This year the vote was very close, and understandably so as there are so many deserving cases and it will be my pleasure to present this at the Christmas Dinner and Dance and Presentation evening on 2nd December. Speaking of which, this year’s party is one of the biggest for many years, a night where we can all celebrate, socialise and let our hair down. (Those who have hair of course) Looking at our very special club and seeing it grow and move forward with many new members, I have decided that now will be a good opportunity for me to step down from the committee. I have been a committee member for over 10 years, having held most positions and serving as chairman for past four years. I feel the time is right to see new faces with fresh ideas to continue the good work. 3 Having joined Poole Runners in the last century and thoroughly enjoyed every moment with such a vibrant club, I would now like to stand back and see other people take part. The AGM is not until the end of February 2018 so this will give you time to think of standing on the committee, which I can honestly say can be rewarding and enlightening to say the least. As a club we look back and remember those who are no longer with us and the ones who no longer run, the support to our charities continues which shows our commitment to helping others. Raising money as club is so important and I am sure you agree keeps us all motivated to helping these good causes, which is at the heart of all our local running clubs. Next year’s racing calendar is already well under way and I am sure many of you are looking forward to an exciting year ahead. I would like to wish you all a very Happy Christmas and a Healthy 2018. Paul Ingham – Chairman In memory of Graham Beevers, our former member who sadly passed away in October aged 65. Poole Runners have donated £100 to Parkinson’s UK 4 Poole Festival of Running 2018 Well following last editions ‘ideas’ it seems that others like the master plan, mainly Borough of Poole! Having had a lot of meetings and twisted a few arms the new PFoR plans have been passed and we will be attempting to put on one of the largest ‘club organised event’ in the UK, yep, our little club! A 10k that takes in the quay and crosses both bridges and a half marathon that will head along the quay and out to Upton Country Park is already creating a lot of interest, as it should, they will be fantastic courses. It is now time to turn a plan that is in paper format into a weekend of running, music, food, drink and fun for all. For that we need some help… Firstly can I thank everyone who offered time to help us get this show on the road, a little help goes a long way and trust me there is a lot that goes on behind the scenes. We could still do with people who fancy lending us a hand, sending and answering e mails, contacting clubs, looking for prospective sponsors or companies that want their product in goody bags and sourcing companies that would like to put a stand on West Field, or HQ for the weekend. That’s on top of the work that goes in to advertising and marketing, entries, route planning, marshal organisation and lots more that I 5 have wiped from my brain since June! This year we will need 150 volunteers on the Sunday alone! This event is huge, huge for running, huge for Poole and huge for our club. This is the main event that keeps the club going, allows us to keep membership fees down and allows us to pay for coaching qualifications, creating Couch to 5k courses, pay for minibuses to events and more. With that in mind the club committee took the decision that no Poole Runner (not even teams) will be taking part in the Sunday events, you can enter the 5k or relays on the Saturday but we need all our members to help out for the Half Marathon and 10k. There are many clubs that stand by this rule in order to ensure the safety of runners and make sure the event goes without a hitch. Be part of the best event in Dorset; help OUR club to set the bench mark for amateur running clubs to follow in the putting on of events. Club organised events are a necessity, to ensure the survival of small running clubs and they tend to be a lot cheaper to enter that events put on by profit making companies. If clubs follow our lead and put on awesome, well organised events with a good medal and a goody bag it will be great for the whole running community. So let’s all get together and put on the best running weekend in the South, go on, you know you want to! Also, buy Rob Brown’s first novel ‘A Song for the Silence’… It’s flippin’ brilliant! (See page75 –Ed) James Skipworth 6 POOLE RUNNERS CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS REVIEW Like most established running clubs Poole Runners has held its own Club Championships for many years. In 2017 we introduced a new format to the championships that we promised would be reviewed at the end of the year by the membership. During October an electronic survey was created and shared on the club’s Facebook page, website and twice by email to ensure all members could participate and have their views considered. The survey was open for just over two weeks and received 102 responses which was a fantastic uptake – thank you all! The original format was a championship of 20 possible races incorporating both road and off road, ranging from one mile up to a marathon, in which you could complete any eight races to qualify. The new format: Separated the off-road and road races into two separate challenges, 10 and 15 races respectively It introduced ‘distance bands’ in the road championships (Short - 1 to 5 miles, Medium - 10km to 10 miles, Long - half marathon and over) It increased the opportunity to win a prize with a total of four prizes available in each age category across the two championships And introduced the ‘Endeavour Award’ for anyone completing any 12 races across either championship. 7 The results of the survey follow with highlights of some of the comments made. Q1 Was the introduction of both 'Road' and 'Off-Road' championships a good thing? 93% Yes 7% No Twenty-two comments were made in response to this question, the vast majority of which reinforced the statistics reflected above. The following comment reflects an alternative view made by some - “Not for me as I like to do races from all areas of running and without running a lot more races won't qualify for either”. Whilst this is true and could be perceived as a negative it is clearly a minority view and there is still the opportunity to aim for an Endeavour Award incorporating races from both challenges. 8 Q2 The distance bands were introduced as there was some criticism that the old format allowed runners to compete for prizes without ever having raced each other. For example, one runner could favour all the short and middle distance races, whilst another favoured the middle to long distance races.

I think this is a record for the number of articles in the club Newsletter. THANK YOU to each one of the contributors. I’m certain you will all agree with me – these are excellent articles! Michael Percival is not only a fantastic runner, he also writes some pretty entertaining race reviews. Run with him a bit further on in this edition. Nick Carter and Stef Neale keep us local with the Great South Run. Lee Westwood takes us on a Road trip to Birmingham whilst Ben Jarvis expertly paces us through the Birmingham Marathon. This month’s cover photo is all about determination, with a bit of spookiness added. Maybe I’m thinking a bit deep, but to me the “ghost print” is the image of everything you do from the point after you’ve entered a race from pre-race training plans, nutrition, dedication, discipline, perhaps frustration or injury, tiredness all the way through to our individual race experience, and the race result – whether that is what we expected or not (or whether your wife made you run harder than what you really wanted to!) ☺If you’ve prepared well, you’ll have a very clear ghost print.

    Title of meeting: Cabinet Member for Culture and City Development Date of meeting: 20 March 2020 Subject: Great South Run Contract Report by: Director of Culture, Leisure and Regulatory Services Wards affected: All Key decision: No Full Council decision: No 1. Purpose of report 1.1 To outline to the Cabinet Member the proposal for new contract between the Council and Nova International following the completion of the current contract to deliver the Great South Run after the 2020 event. 2. Recommendations 2.1 That officers are authorised to enter into negotiations with Nova International to continue to hold the Great South Run in Portsmouth with a new contract in order to retain this iconic event in the city. 3. Background 3.1 The Great South Run started life in Southampton in 1990 as the Diet Coke Great South run (as it was known) attracting 2,500 entries before moving to Portsmouth 12 months later where it will have been held for the past 30 years after the delivery of the 2020 event. The fast flat route has now become an international gold standard where, with the support of prevailing winds in the right direction it has given thousands of people the opportunity to achieve a personal best time as well as fundamentally encouraging participation in mass physical activity. 3.2 This 10 mile event attracts a wide range of participates from the international athletics elite to the charity fundraisers with this mid distance event supporting runners as they progress from the 10km routes up to the half marathon.

  • Read 334 Inspiring Stories
    Inspiring stories from AudioFuel customers Since I've been an audiofuel customer, running has helped me deal with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. Even when I feel low, tired and like I don't want to carry on, listening to audiofuel tracks helps to give me the motivation I need to get out and run. When I run, it helps improve my mood and this in turn helps me to live life to its fullest. ______________________ I lost 3 stone after running to audio fuel pyramid 200 and went on to complete a half marathon having only trained for 10 weeks ! My proudest moment was when I planned to go out for a 3 mile run, got lost and managed to run 5 miles! My first distance larger than 3 miles, and I kept at the same pace. I was so proud of myself! ______________________ Inspiration from Team AudioFuel Page 1 of 79 I'm 62 and have been exercising routinely for decades. However I amped it up with the interval training and not only did I peel off a few pounds, but my energy is great! I love intervals and so does my dog. (I also out ran my 37 year old son, and it inspired him to amp it up too!) ______________________ Having come back from 8 months of injury and operations, all my running has been done to audiofuel, without it I don't think I would be back running 4 times per week. The speed session is slower but I can see improvement, the long runs painfully slow.

Since its first staging when 10,000 runners took part, it has grown into the world’s greatest half marathon and the UK’s biggest running event with 57,000 runners annually. In 2014 the Great North Run became the first event in the world to be officially recognised by the IAAF for achieving the milestone one millionth finisher.
