London Marathon, Sunday 22nd April

The last week in marathon running, with the Commonwealth Games and Boston, has been dominated by the weather and London was no exception in the end. It was warmer on the ground than forecasters had even indicated perhaps and there were few runners not affected by it. It can be a cruel event, as so much preparation goes into it, over many weeks, just for that one day. There were a few bright spots amongst a mass of supreme battles.

TAC had a significant group of runners taking part and all should be applauded for not only running today, but their training leading up to it. Here is what they did.

Ben Cole 2.32.19 placed 43rd in the 'non elite' race.
Julian Rendall 2.44.29 - TAC over 40 club record
Dan Watt 2.46.58
Maria Heslop 2.56.56 - pb by 1 second, TAC club record (1st ever sub 3 women's) and 1st in the over 50 age category race.
Matt Dennis 2.57.34 debut
Alan Buckle 3.16.34
James Winnifrith 3.20.44
Dan Blades 3.23.43 debut
Joe Watts 3.31.13 debut
Penny Pilbeam 3.35.27
Dan Crush 3.41.58
Nicky Slack - 6.34.49 debut
Henry Pearce - did not finish. Dropped out at 14 miles on debut. 72.01 at halfway

Watford Open Meeting, Wednesday 18th April
Videos loaded !

The second Watford Open Meeting of the season took place on Wednesday night and was the first this year to feature TAC distance runners. All four produced good 800m races, with one pb and the other three not far away from their personal bests.

Miles Weatherseed ran 1.53.21 (pb by 0.4s), Ben Murphy 1.53.99, Jamie Brown 2.00.47 and Toby Emm 2.01.46

This year at Watford entries to the open meetings are via online and in advance only. There are limits on numbers,  so if you wish to race there you have to plan ahead.
​
Last nights 800m races reached the entry limit a few days before, whilst it seems that the meetings will retain their status as being the best opens, with 25 x 800m races at this one.

Paddock Wood Half Marathon, Sunday 8th April

There were a mass of fast times at Paddock Wood, in which I imagine were good conditions with light rain, but mild.
TAC filled the ladies podium through 1st Lucy Reid 76.17, 2nd Nicole Taylor 77.16 and 3rd Maria Heslop 79.21
All three ran personal bests.
Maria moves from 10th to 2nd on the UK All Time over 50 rankings, behind the British record of 78.26
Lucy's time is the second fastest ever TAC time behind Miranda Heathcote's club record of 76.00 and I should imagine Nicole's time is the third fastest ever.
Julian Rendall was the first TAC male home in 20th with 72.13, which takes over a minute from his own TAC over 40 record.
Others - Dan Watt 73.09, Tony Bennett 80.03, James Pigot 81.21, Luke Reeves 86.17, James Winnifrith 88.25, Penny Pilbeam 90.12 and Duncan Ralph 1.43.05

Stanford Invitational Meeting, California, USA, Friday 30th March
​Alex Howard and James West feature in TAC all time fastest runs

There were two breakthrough performances, at the Stanford Invite, by Tonbridge AC athletes.
Alex Howard finished 4th in Section 3 of the 3000m steeplechase in 8.56.78. This was a personal best by 9 seconds and Alex becomes the sixth TAC runner ever to break 9 minutes. Ryan Driscoll holds the record at 8.50.87 and is followed by Stuart Kirk, Dave Robertson and Andy Sharp, with Sam Bradley also sub 9.

James West moved to number 3 on the Tonbridge AC list with a 5000m in 13.52.29. James finished 3rd in Section 2 of the 5000m races. This was a nine second pb for James and his first sub 14 clocking. I believe only Mark Scrutton's club record and Allen Graffin at 13.40 (before his move to Belgrave Harriers) have run faster.

Valencia, Spain Half Marathon, Saturday 24th March

Ben Cole ran 67.57 at the Valencia Half Marathon.
The world half marathon guys started ahead of the masses so his start was delayed a few seconds, which is why the actual and chip time differ so much. Ben has broken 68 minutes previously and alongside Henry Pearce, Charlie Joslin-Allen and Max Nicholls is one of four TAC runners to go sub 70 so far in 2018.

Trackside Podcast Episode 28 is available

Not sure what I am potentially opening myself up to but I (Mark Hookway) recorded a Trackside Podcast all on my own. 
It’s Episode 28 and details of downloads and links can be found here (Alex Hookway due to update web site) -
http://tracksidepodcast.co.uk/
The team have been so busy the last few weeks that we haven’t been able to get together for a full discussion, but hopefully this episode helps fill a void. I felt that I had to do something as I keep getting questions about when we were recording next ! 
So in this episode I explain some of the events that I have attended over the last few weeks, plus highlight some performances at home and across the world. I also raise a few questions and discussion points where any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

TAC Fantasy Cross Country League - end of season results and summary - by Ian Crawley
Following the National Cross Country Championships
Full results and league tables are on the Fantasy League page

Just finished watching the videos of the Nationals.  Although I was sat at home resting it looked like the sort of crisp, bright winter’s day that makes you glad to be alive.  And what better way to spend it than in shorts and a vest running round Parliament Hill with the wind in your face and the sheer exhilaration of stretching your legs as you strive to be faster than ever before.  After I saw the entry list I felt that  the SM result was on the cards but there is many a slip b’twixt cup and lip and no-one could predict how emphatic the victory would be.  To emphasis the point, the second six would have come 8th .  The rest of the team results were perhaps a little disappointing on the whole, perhaps because the number of entries and hence the level of competition was high.  However, within all races there were minor triumphs as many athletes surpassed expectations.  And it is the actual exceeding the expected that is the essence of Fantasy League both for individuals with their averages and teams; where managers have to predict who they believe will beat their handicap over the course of the season.

Howeve,r it is probably fitting to start with participation.  The Nationals tally of 150 finishers (28 up on last year) included 15 making their 17/18 FXC debut; which brought the total to 235 for the season (18 up on last year).  Within  this there was a select group who completed all ranking events: O Breed, B Heslop, F Gordon, J Stoney, D Seagrove and of course the FL most consistent runner – S Puxty.  Not surprisingly all but one averaged over 100ppm.

C Olley was the leading scorer with 1,261 points with L Reid leading lady with 567 for the day and 1,138 for the season – all records.  Ben Cole returns as leading scorer for the season with 1,794.  O Breed and F Gordon were the first junior athletes ever to score 1,000 points for the season.  Best average on the day was 294ppm from A Lopez-Caseras.  Best average for the season was 574ppm from G Hopkins (U13B) - an astounding score.  Other mentions in despatches today –there could be lots but I have to limit it- S Brown who to most people’s surprise topped the batting order in the U20M race coming in 25th, thus proving that beer and skittles in the Loughborough Dog and Duck trumps hard miles any day;  the U13G team, 3 of whom have next year in the same age group to look forward to; J Kingston (U17M) who has gone from strength to strength this season, this team is looking exciting for next year also; U17W team who have been such a consistent and dedicated bunch for the whole year; and of course the Masters athletes who again turned out in record numbers with several earning severe cuts to their handicaps next year.

The Bullseye Club expanded to a record 131 including 58 athletes on 100+ppm.  With hindsight the pricing looks slightly on the generous side, but higher participation particularly in the Nationals contributed to higher scoring than expected and indeed the top 10 averages were from unknown athletes or those not expected to run.  Enough excuses, note to self – must do better.
This week’s victor in the A team category (6 athletes; one athlete from each age group) was Alex Hookway’s  Olley Olley Olley Oi Oi Oi team of S Slack, K Goodge, T Hall, C Payas, C Olley and S Houghton with 1,992points.  In the B team category (6 athletes from any age group) the best score of the day was from M Ellis’ Kenya Run Any Faster team of R F-R, H Pearce, C Olley, K Marsh, O Breed and M Heslop with 2,639 points.  The best Player Manager was also M Ellis with his Got the Runs team of himself, B Cole, R Driscoll, C Payas, A Roeder and J Keywood with 2,110 points.  And finally the best Bargain Team was A Roeder’s Budget team of himself, R Driscoll, L Reeves, L Slack, R de Munck and C Lee. 

Which brings us to the results for the season.  As usual the Nationals result has brought new teams to the fore and seen some slip down the table.  The delay in these results is because I have been over the numbers several times looking for mistakes to invalidate this result; but to no avail.  So, the winner is my training partner and TAC’s answer to Geoff Capes – A Hookway with his appropriately named Peaking for the Nationals team of H Paton, G Cole, K Reilly, D Brown, R Driscoll and J Bryant with a record 5,253 points.  So the answer to the question I posed last week is “No”.  In second place and leading Player / Manager team is M Ellis’ Got the Runs team (as above) with 5,062 points.  And third and leading ‘A’ team is another track legend, Iain Presnell with his Sprint  Finishers team of O Breed, F Croll, D Schofield, J Puxty, R Driscoll and M Heslop with 4,994 points.  Finally in the Bargain basement section JT’s Sloggers team of A Roeder, D Brown, J Bingham, A Thompson, M Dubery and G Hopkins hangs on to win with 3,695 points and takes the prize for best team average of 164ppm.  Hopefully there will be no Tears on the Telephone over these results!!

And finally the Name of the Season is The Hills are Alive With the Sound of Asics – Amber Crush.  It’s just so good!!
​
PS. On a sad note, it was a bit of a struggle raising interest for Fantasy League this year – I had hoped for 3 times as many entries as were eventually received.  Therefore unless there is a groundswell of popular support for this at the beginning of next season I will not be running the competition next year.  I may however keep athlete scores going just because I don’t get out that much and it keeps me amused.

English National Cross Country Championships, at Parliament Hill, Saturday 24th February
Videos loaded !

Full results can be found on the Results 2018 page.

It was an incredible performance by the TAC mens team to retain the title, but this time around it was totally different circumstances. Last year it was a surprise to win by just 4 points whereas this year the squad stamped their authority on the race from the start to win by 160 points.

Olivia Breed's silver medal winning performance in the under 13s shouldn't go unnoticed and is the best position in this age group since Julie Adkin (Goodge) won in 1985 !

A TAC record number of 155 started, breaking last years best of 130.
​Starting number records were set by u13 boys, u20 men, senior men, u17 women and senior women.

In summary -
Senior Men 1st of 162 teams (5th Chris Olley)
Senior Women 8th of 112 teams (18th Lucy Reid)
Under 20 men 4th of 11 teams (25th Stuart Brown)
Under 20 women 6th of 14 teams (12th Phoebe Barker)
Under 17 men 8th of 36 teams (17th James Kingston)
Under 17 women 10th of 26 teams (42nd Kathleen Faes)
Under 15 boys 5th of 52 teams (5th Fraser Gordon)
Under 15 girls 26th of 50 teams (28th Katie Goodge)
Under 13 boys 12th of 56 teams (97th George Hopkins)
Under 13 girls 12th of 51 teams (2nd Olivia Breed)

TAC Fantasy League Update after week 9 (Kent Cross Country League, 10th February) - Ian Crawley
One race to go !

Another change at the top as Sarah Schofield leaps into the lead with 3563 points with her What the Hill team of S Fraser, J Bryant, D Seagrove, D Schofield, J Kingston and F Gordon.   This whole team is slated to run in the Nationals BUT with only 200 points between the top 9 teams it is too close to call.  With 170+ entries this year the Nationals will be a high scoring affair with the TAC running order in the deciding event of the day – the SM Race – particularly hard to predict.  The winning team the last two years has included either the first or second TAC runner from this last race – will it be so this year?

TAC had four distance runners qualify and compete at the championships.
Saturday
​Sean Molloy was unlucky not to make the 800 metres final. He finished second in heat 1 of 3, losing to the eventual champion, Elliot Giles. Unfortunately, Sean's time was not quite quick enough to get one of the three fastest loser spots.
Sunday
Robbie Farnham-Rose, Chris Olley and Ryan Driscoll all contested the 3000 metres final, which was the first time ever that the club would have had three in a national senior final.
Ryan was out of sorts and struggled, whilst Robbie and Chris finished 4th and 5th in a terrific race, as they clocked 7.57.40 and 7.57.63, respectively. This was an outright pb for 
Chris.

Husky Classic Indoor Invitational Meeting, Seattle USA, Friday and Saturday 9th/10th February
James West goes to 27th on the UK all time list at indoor 3000 metres !

On Friday Alex Howard ran his debut track 5000 metres and recorded 14.59.16 in race 4.
On Saturday James West produced a terrific result over 3000 metres to finish 6th in race 5, with 7.51.23
This was a TAC indoor record and the second fastest time in TAC history, indoors or out. Only Mark Scrutton's time of 7.50.38 set at Crystal Palace in 1983 is better.
James time also moved him to 27th on the UK's all time indoor list, amongst some illustrious names and is number two on the under 23 list. See - www.thepowerof10.info/rankings/rankinglist.aspx?event=3000&agegroup=ALL&sex=M&alltime=y&indooronly=y

British Universities and Students Cross Country Championships, at Hillingdon, Saturday 3rd February
Videos loaded !

There were plenty of Tonbridge runners competing for their universities at the British Universities and Colleges Country Championships, at Hillingdon. The mens A- race, over twelve kilometres, saw teams of the best six from each university compete, with around 350 finishing. Chris Olley continued his terrific Winter form and was with the four runners who broke away at the front after halfway. At one stage Olley was dropped by the three ahead, but rallied to come through to second over the last mile, finishing less than three seconds behind the winner, Alex Yee. Nathan Marsh, running for Leeds, was the next Tonbridge runner home in 28th, whilst his sister Kiri, racing for Nottingham, was 82nd in the women’s race, which had more than seven hundred finishers.

George Duggan finished around 16th but the Loughborough team were disqualified for not meeting team declaration time slots !
 
The men’s B-race, for those outside the top six at their university, also had a large field with more than 560 finishers. Three Tonbridge runners finished in the top ten, all representing Loughborough, with Kieran Reilly 2nd, Jamie Goodge 5th and Alasdair Kinloch 8th.
