Athletics Weekly

Just got some SILLY results from the dodgy Swiss meet ( where all ran fast last year). Laura Turner 100m W - 11.11 (+2) What a joke of a meet. This is the same meet last year where all the Brits that ran there did not even smell that time ALL year long. The selectors cant be not take all these athle...

Brooks clocked 11.26 seconds with Sherone Simpson taking third place in 11.26 seconds. Brooks also returned 22.92 seconds for second in the women's 200 metres behind American winner La Shauntea Moore in 22.46 seconds. Mullings won the men's 200 metres but had to settle for fourth in the 100 metres ...

Hi All,


Take a look at this, Go to the bottom of page.

I hope this publicity does not get worse......

I can't open the link but don't like the sound of the hamstrings bit. Glad she's staying with her coach and not doing stuff with MM at Pickets (especially with his hamstrings knowledge;-) Hi plyometric, I think when she said 'her coach' you would find that is still the Self Proclaimed Great one him...

Tyson is coming as well.

100m, The relay team of Relay team of Pickering, Edgar, Harry AA, Williamson ran at the Europa and came home with 39.2secs. The British team still suffers from pure speed (without Block Starts) and bend runners. That is why Devonish, Fifton and Malcolm ( when he was in shape) would always run the be...

Sportman,

I think its altitude anyway but the pressure is now on this guys to do it again at the trials.

Is this place at altitude?

WOW, J-L-B 3 Pb's,

Tobins fastest time since 2005,

1 or 2 other pb's, All at the same meet?.....

WOW......

Alot of people ran fast at this meet,

Should be interesting in 2 weeks time............

Exactly, what is the debate? Isabre you sometime tend to be able to see into the future with some of the athletes you support or mention, You end up making statements like X would do better cos of...... We live in a sport of milli seconds and FACTS with are results. Like It have been said, DC and RF...

Kermit, Good point, As for the race I have spoken to top coaches at the meet and all said the british guy was going to be EATEN up if he finished and this are people that do this for a living and saw the race live. I agree having seen it myself. As for 44.9 No way, you are assumimg he keeps the pace...

Isabre, watch the race again and you can see just before he pulled up he was fading. Have it occured to you that he might have overcooked the first 300 and the 2 guys had a little bit more? Anyway I dont think TB would feature in the world 400 running this year either becos of injuries or training n...

I have seen the race and I dont agree that he would have won it if he finishes. Also TB issues is a training one. Untill he condituoned himself to be able to carry the necessary speed he NEEDS for that distence he would alway break down and that has been the story of the last 3 years. Oh also swoopi...

Hi Jobo, Sorry to hear about your son decision to leave the sport. Can I say that most of what you listed might be true but I can assure you that ALL that WOULD be changing with the new structure which caters for Elite ( Charles) and Development (Tyler) and I can tell IT WOULD HAPPEN. as one of the ...

Kermit, Actually your last post is not correct. Mac is Employed by the UKA and on completion of his elite coaching course last year UKA had to employ him for a period. The coaches are sent to the course from different UK Olympics sports and that sports and UK Sports split the coaches salary. I think...

slowspeed

Sory to disappoint you Plyometric but JW is already doing some weekend work with MacFalane.

I think it was set up by UKA as one of the mentor thing for coach and athlete. HOPE IT WORKS OUT FOR HER

Dear All, This is just a quick reminder that the next sprint workshop would be held on Sun 14 Dec, 2008 at Loughborough EIS . This particular workshop would feature a presentation from John Anderson , a section on Strength /Conditioning , a follow up on acceleration/100m and guest coaches from Jamai...

Hi Smoke,

when is this annual coaching seminar that you refer to?

Thanks

Mr Hank, The way things are at the moment, Its down to each coach in this country to better themselves as the system has not provided any coach education over the last 10 years. This is an opportunity that is available to all if they choose to use it If you have any questions please get in touch wit...

Guys, I do not want to get into a long debate or be rude but the replies to this posts are unnecessary and not needed. If you dont agree or think its beneath you then keep your opinions to yourself, you don’t have to post anything negative about what others are working very very hard to organise. I ...

England Athletics is organizing a series of combined development program for various event groups over the next year across the country. This program is aimed at coaches and their athletes and would be rolled out in a series of weekend workshops incorporating theory and practical sessions. This is a...

ShaunP, It seems like you know a bit of what is going on. My question to you and whoever want to answer is that even if Collins goes, what about some of the people he has given new jobs to (as techinical Leads) and some of the other ones that have been there for a while that have not done much to mo...

I found Charles very likeable and knowledgeable and feel he can do a good job. He knows the British system and its shortcomings so knows what to expect. He will certainly want the structure changed and have more of an input into the sport at all levels. So we have a structure looking soething like ...

No I think that is her first race since the trials..

Go on Isabre,

Take the bet.....

I would split it with who ever wins

My sentiments exactly about the perfrmances from all these athletes at the same meet. What are the chances of all these athletes running 2,3,4,5 tenth in the space of 4 days or better still they all collective missed their peak at the trials, ha ha . Most of these athletes CAN NOT run that fast. Thi...

hi Guys, From todays showing it looks like our boys lacks pure speed I read some where that they have put a lot of money into the relay for this year and I have to say for all the money I think our guys just have to get quick, that was another americian second team( the second in 5 days thats have g...

THERE YOU GO..............................
