Midweek updates, Tuesday 30th June

A few updates from the last 24 hours -
Simon Fraser ran 3000 metres in 9.44.8, at Ashford on Monday evening, in the South East veterans league. According to Power of 10 his only other 3k was the 10.21.4 a few weeks back, which makes it a 36.6s pb !

John Sanders has kindly supplied the full results from last Wednesday's National Prep Schools Championships, at Birmingham, which are on the Results 2015 page. It looks as though there were wins over 800 metres for Rebekah O'Brien, Ben Errington and Fin Croll.

Tonight (Tuesday), Dominic Brown has run 1500 metres in 3.48.29 to move up one place to fourth on the current Tonbridge AC rankings. Dom finished second in the British Milers Club A race at Trafford, near Manchester, to take 1.7 seconds from his personal best. Dom's race can be watched at www.runjumpthrow.com . He was in the mens A race.

Videos loaded !

Tonbridge finished fourth of the six clubs in the match, but still retain an overall second place and a chance of promotion.
The highlight, from a distance running point of view, was Alice Ralph breaking the club under 17 women's 1500 metres steeplechase record with 5.21.45. Alice won the race having earlier raced to a 1500 metres win, also in a pb of 4.51.95.

There were a mass of other personal bests and wins by the distance runners and I have shown these, plus the winners in the photo slideshow below.

Full results and a sumamry are on the Results 2015 page.

Tonbridge AC Summer parkrun Grand Prix update
From Mark Pitcairn-Knowles, following the latest event at Lullingstone on 27th June

It was a beautiful day at the rural location of Lullingstone Park Run. There were 8 TAC members enticed by the prospect of higher points on offer. The organisers really appreciated the presence of our runners. It was great to have the support of Alan and Di. Dan Bradley was first home and just missed JT’s course record by 4 seconds. JT was late to arrive but still managed to finish third ! Steve Keywood was easily the best of the more mature runners (5th Overall) on a course that clearly suited him.   This result has pushed him into 3rd place in the overall GP standings, 1 point behind Cain,  but having only registered two scores so far.    But a further one point ahead is JT, after registering 3 scores so far.   

Those that were there will be glad to hear that my 82 year old Dad appears to have made a full recovery after his fall that left him unconscious for 4 mins and very confused for an hour after, CT scans etc showed no internal damage.  

 Next event is back at Tonbridge on the 11th July.

The parkrun Grand Prix is hotting up, just as the weather is ! See the Grand Prix league table below - Ed

Results are at www.britishmilersclub.com with a summary on the Results 2015 page.

Cambridge Harriers and British Milers Club Meeting, at Sutcliffe Park, Eltham, Wednesday 24th June
Videos loaded !

The highlight of the evening was Kathleen Faes running 4.27.67 for a Tonbridge under 15 girls record, which was the 7th fastest ever in the UK in this age group. Kathleen's time broke Julie Adkin's (Goodge) record, which was set in 1986 and was not far short of Julie's under 17 record (4.26.4) and Kelly Holmes' under 20/senior record of 4.26.1. Kelly 'retired' from the sport in her late teens and then made a comeback a few years later, when she joined Ealing.

There were also personal bests for Michael Ellis (1500m 4.15.32) and Dan Watt (5000m i15.58.94). Tom Cox equalled his seasons best with 1.57.43 over 800m.

Sean Molloy (49.63) and Alex Hookway (53.79) both raced over 400m, before helping with the pace making for the BMC in the 800m and 1500m races.

Inter Boys - Alasdair Kinloch (3000m), Jamie Goodge (3000m), George Duggan (1500m), Miles Weatherseed (1500m)

UK Youth Development League, at Reading, Sunday 21st June

TAC finished fifth in the match and are now fourth of the six clubs in the league table (the bottom two get relegated). There were plenty of personal bests and fine runs from the middle distance runners.

National under 20 and 23 Championships, incorporating GB trials for European Championships
at Bedford, Sunday 21st June - Day 2

Videos loaded !

On day 2 of the championships TAC had four competitors in finals action. Dom Brown was in the under 23 mens 1500 metres final, where he had qualified as 'only' a fastest loser on Saturday. However, in the final he surpassed all expectations to finish fourth in what was a very tactical race, held in windy conditions.

The other three were all in the under 20 mens 1500m final, but having performed so well on Saturday were disappointed with their Sunday races. James West couldn't quite keep in touch with the leaders on the final lap and placed 5th, whilst Miles Weatherseed and George Duggan were 11th and 12th, respectively.

National under 20 and 23 Championships, incorporating GB trials for European Championships
at Bedford, Saturday 20th June - Day 1
Videos loaded !

On Saturday, which was Day 1 of the championships -
Under 20 1500m - George Duggan, James West and Miles Weatherseed have all qualified for Sunday's final
Under 23 1500m - Dom Brown has qualified for Sunday's final, although Luca Russo was eliminated
Under 23 800m - Sean Molloy ran a seasons best of 1.50.99 in his semi final but missed qualifying for the final by 0.08s
Under 20 men's 5000m - 4th Chris Olley, 14th Corey De'Ath
Under 23 men's 3000m steeplechase - 1st Ryan Driscoll - National Champion

Chris Olley will have to wait to see whether he is selected for the European under 20 championships. He is the third ranked of three athletes who have the qualifying time.

Ryan Driscoll has the massive task of trying to run a 13 second pb to get the 8.45 European under 23 qualifying time, that would guarantee him GB selection. His only chance is this coming Saturday at Watford.

Southern Athletics League, at Brighton, Saturday 20th June

The Tonbridge team was severely weakened, due to a fixture clash with several other events. This meant that the team finished third of the four clubs at Brighton.
There were distance wins for Tom Cox (800m), Marcin Urbanowski (5000m) and Alice Ralph (2000m steeplechase)
Full results are on the Results 2015 page.

South East Schools Inter Counties Championships, at Erith, Saturday 20th June

We had a handful of TAC distance runners in action at Erith, but a series of strong performances came from them.
Kathleen Faes won the Junior Girls 1500m in 4.32.01, to miss Julie Adkin's (Goodge) club age record by a hundredth of a second ! Also in the Junior Girls age group Evie Butler's 2.19.40 for 800m caught the eye, as it took 4.3 seconds from her recent pb.

There was a TAC 1-2 in the Inter Boys 3000m from Alasdair Kinloch (8.43.50) and Jamie Goodge (8.47.92) as both ran inside the English Schools national standard.

Full results are on the Results 2015 page.

South Downs Marathon, Saturday 20th June

Eva Kolivoskova-Martin had another excellent performance when finishing 13th female in this extremely tough marathon. Eva ran 4.10.12.

Saturday parkruns, 20th June

TAC runners appear in a few of this Saturday's parkrun results -
Tonbridge - Simon Fraser and Nicole Taylor both ran 18.00 to be equal first home. Ellen Crombie's (u15) 19.06 also deserves a shout !

Riddlesdown -  1st James Taylor 16.27 (pb)
Maidstone - 7th Graeme Saker 17.42

Watford Open Meeting and British Milers Club 'Gold' Standard races, Wednesday 17th June
Race videos loaded, including all the BMC Gold Standard races !

'Watford Wednesday' once again provided a good opportunity for personal bests, with 24 x 800 metre open races, plus some British Milers Club Gold Standard competition.

Isaac Harding (u17) was making his debut at a Watford Wednesday and produced a 2.10.98 personal best, to take almost seven seconds from his official previous pb (he has run 2.11 in a school race). Isaac went through the bell in around 67 seconds and ran a very strong second half to win his race convincingly. There were also personal bests for Sam Avis (u17) in 2.07.20 and Sam Crick (u17) in 2.01.97.

Donald Carter, who has recently transferred from Invicta to Tonbridge, ran his first race in a TAC vest. Donald finished fifth in the BMC mens B race in 3.53.48, which was his first outing over the distance this season. His personal best stands at 3.52.60, whilst he recently ran 8.24.34 for 3000m.

Kent 3000 metres Championship, at Dartford, Wednesday 17th June

Phoebe Barker finished second in the under 17 women's Kent 3000 metres championship, at Dartford on Wednesday evening. Phoebe ran 10.10.9, to take 5.6 seconds from her personal best. The race was won by Holly Page of Dartford, with Jess Keane of Blackheath in third. Phoebe's time was just 0.9 seconds away from the English Schools National Standard, but well inside the entry standard, so she will be hoping it catches the Kent Schools selectors eyes. The previous day Phoebe had lowered her 1500m pb to 4.42.1 at the English Schools Cup, at Crawley. Photos courtesy of Richard Owen.

South of England Championships (under 20 and senior) at Lee Valley, Sunday 14th June - Day 2

There were just two TAC distance runners competing on day 2 of the championships and both were left disappointed with their runs. Alice Wood was 5th in the under 20 women's 1500m, which sounds positive, although there were only five starters, whilst Luca Russo was around 7th in the senior men's 1500m final. Both went to the indoor track, straight after their races, to complete a small training session, to get the races out of their systems ! I am sure that both will bounce back.

Full results of the championships are on the Results 2015 page.

Videos loaded !

TAC had two championship winners on day 1 of the event as Ben Cole took the senior men's 5000m title and Miles Weatherseed won the under 20 mens 1500 metres. Corey De'Ath also had a superb run to grab second place behind Miles.
As a bonus Miles has been invited to compete for the England team at the Welsh International Games, at the end of July, earning his first international vest.
Luca Russo missed qualifying for the 800m semi finals by just 0.05s, but showed his character and took advantage of having also entered the 1500m and ran the heats of that event later. He looked far more in control, over the longer distance, to qualify for Sunday's final.

Results -
Senior Men 400m Sean Molloy 49.54 heat, 49.55 semi final (did not qualify for Sunday final), 800m Alex Hookway 2.00.02 heat, 2.02.37 , (did not qualify for Sunday final), Luca Russo 2.00.07 heat (eliminated), 1500m Luca Russo 4.01.35 heat (qualified for Sundays final), 5000m 1st Ben Cole 15.05.39, 15th Dan Watt 16.03.06 (pb)

Friday night athletics, 12th June

There were a couple of very encouraging runs tonight from two TAC distance runners.

Jordan Saul won the Brands Hatch 10k road race, which was held on the motor racing circuit. It was the biggest win of Jordan's running career as he estimated around 600 took part. His approximate time was 36.52.

Also on Friday night Simon Fraser recorded his fastest 1500m time for eight years, with a 4.27 effort and winning at the Southern Counties Veterans League. Simon is still a year short of becoming a 'proper' vet at 40 years old.

Earlier in the day the Kent Independent Schools Championships were held, at Ashford. Full results are on the Results 2015 page.

I have attached the latest GP table following Saturday's bumper turn out at Tonbridge, Sam Crick taking the first place and 25 points on age grading.   There was a good mixture of young and more mature TAC members at the top of the table.   Sophie Slack (JW10) leading from James 'JT' Taylor (SM 20-24) with Cain Bradley (SM 55-59) in 3rd place after 3 races.

Next race (whoops, “run”) is on Saturday 27th June at Lullingstone, a hilly course in pleasant countryside of the Darenth valley, with relatively few runners, directions etc  http://www.parkrun.org.uk/lullingstone/

Saturday morning 5km parkruns, 6th June

Tonbridge - With a relatively quiet weekend going on I popped down to the Tonbridge parkrun, which is as popular as ever. There were plenty of TAC distance runners there and the first four home were all Tonbridge. Chris Cohen led the way (might not be in the official results as no bar code), James Taylor followed, with Sam Crick and Andrew Mercer close behind. There were plenty of pbs

Tunbridge Wells - Dan Watt was first home in 17.22

Watford Open Meeting, Wednesday 3rd June
Race video loaded !

It was a relatively quiet 'Watford Wednesday' this week, perhaps due to being close to exam period for some and soon after a busy weekend of racing for others. Thankfully though the strong winds of Tuesday had died down and conditions were the best that they could be.

Tonbridge had just three runners in action and all went in the fastest of the three 3000 metre races. Chris Olley won the race in 8.19.31, improving his pb by a fraction of a second, whilst Corey De'Ath was not quite at the same level as some of his recent races, recording 8.37.75. However, this was a season's best and less than two seconds away from his pb.

Tim Faes ran a superbly judged race to come through strongly towards the end and slash more than a minute from his four year old pb, with 8.42.46. I have used Tim before as an example to others, who have had tough spells with their running. For more than a couple of years, with growth spurts and the like, Tim struggled with frustrating knee issues and related niggles. However, he came out of this spell with some fine cross country and road relay performances, which he has carried onto the track.

Apart from all the events below there was plenty of other individual TAC distance runner action going on this weekend -

Putbos Flanders Cup, Belgium - On Saturday night Ryan Driscoll ran a superb 8.10.77 for 3000 metres, to take 10 seconds from his personal best. Ryan's time is the fastest by any TAC member for many years (certainly more than ten).
Edinburgh Marathon - On Sunday Duncan Ralph ran a personal best of 3.40.54
Great Britain Mountain Running Trial in the Lake District - Max Nicholls won the under 20 race to secure his place in the GB team to travel to Madeira for the European Championships in July.

Southern Athletics League, at Crawley, Sunday 31st May
Race videos loaded !

Tonbridge finished second to hosts Crawley, in generally damp conditions, but held off the tough challenge of Milton Keynes and Colchester. Hannah Czarnowski put in one of her terrific team efforts to score in the 800m, 400m, 1500m steeplechase and the 4x400m relay !

There were outright wins for Sean Molloy (400m), Alice Ralph (800m and 1500m steeplechase), Tom Cox (800m), Marcin Urbanowski (3000m) and Harry Paton (3000m steeplechase). Marcin was making his TAC debut and running his first track race since 2010. He has just joined the club and started training again after five years away from the sport. At his peak he represented Poland at the World Cross Country Championships and also ran 8.42 for 3000m steeplechase.

For Harry Paton the win was his second ever in any race and was his debut at the 3000m 'chase.

British Milers Club Grand Prix, at Sports City Manchester, Saturday 30th May
Race videos loaded !

Despite a long round trip for all eight of the Tonbridge runners, there were some excellent performances.
Sean Molloy was disappointed with a 1.51.67 for 800m. Despite it being a personal best, it is still more than three seconds away from his pb, so he still has a bit of work to do.
In the mens 1500 metres A race James West reduced his pb to 3.46.59, but will still be hoping to get closer to the GB qualifying time for the European under 20 championships. This stands at 3.44.5.
George Duggan is another with thoughts of the Euro under 20 standard in the back of his mind and he too nudged closer with a pb of 3.47.77, despite being involved in a messy race. Dom Brown tweaked a calf muscle and jogged home in 3.52.5, a couple of seconds outside his best.
In race D TAC had three competitors, who all finished close together and improved their bests. A resurgent Luca Russo ran 3.52.03 to dip ahead of Chris Olley's 3.52.06, whilst Miles Weatherseed improved the long standing Judd School record with 3.52.62.
The final TAC runner, Alex Howard, went in race F of the 1500m and even shocked himself with a win and a five second pb of 3.54.78.

UK Youth Development League (under 13 and 15), at Bromley, Saturday 30th May

TAC distance running highlights included A-string wins for Fin Croll (u13 800m) and Evie Butler (u15 1500m), with Ollie Hill running a massive 800m pb of 2.28.8, to improve by more than 11 seconds. There were plenty of other personal bests by large amounts, including Luciana Anderson (u13 1200m) and Toby Emm (u15 800m)

BMC and Cambridge Harriers Meeting, Wednesday 27th May

There were a dozen TAC distance runners in action at Eltham, with seven coming away with personal bests and four others running season's bests.

Christian Lee was the most improved at 800m, as he lowered his best to 2.01.20. However, it was Steve Tester, moving up from 400m, who was the fastest of the club's 800m runners with 2.00.15.

At 1500m Phoebe Barker ran inside the English Schools Inter Girls qualifying standard for the first time, although she will have to repeat this at one of the recognised selection events.

At 5000m, Corey De'Ath smashed his 5000m pb by 33 seconds to 15.04.19, whilst Dan Watt took 10 seconds from his with 16.03.68.

Full results from both days are now on the Results 2015 page.

I have produced a summary of the TAC distance runners runners performances at the county championships (see Results 2015 page). What struck me was the number of personal bests and some from athletes who weren't happy with their performance. There are a number who can be very tough on themselves, which can be a good thing, but on occasions its healthier to take the positives and move on to the next race, rather than beat yourself up, especially when you run a pb !
