BRITISH MASTERS ATHLETIC FEDERATION NATIONAL ROAD RELAYS,
SUTTON PARK, 14TH MAY
Many congrats to the HR ladies team who claimed a medal in the BMAF National Road Relays for
the 3rd successive year in the FV65 plus category. Each member of the team ran an undulating 3mile leg on tarmac roads within the park in Sutton Coldfield, Birmingham and the combined time of
81mins 45secs was only bettered by Wolds Vets RC and Sale Harriers.
Christine Sanderson ran the opening leg in 27.44; Yock Lin Richardson clocked 28.42 for the second
leg; Sylvia Huggett covered the third leg in 25.19 - the fourth fastest time of the day in this category.
Both Christine and Yocklin were recruited from Hastings parkrun just before the entry deadline, and
had never raced at a major championship's before! Read Christine's account below.
From Park Run to national bronze.
The weekly parkrun in Hastings has given me an amazing new lease of life in my seventies.
For most of my married life I was the passive supporter of a running family: “I look after the coats” I
used to tell people when they asked me why I didn’t run too. Then, at the age of 44, I started jogging
and trained for the Hastings Half marathon. I became hooked on the exhilaration that running brings,
1
learning that exercise is mind-relaxing as well as a way of keeping fit. Joining Hastings AC like the
rest of the family, over the next twenty years or so I ran in various local races, though never competing
any further away than East Sussex. By my early 60s I had given up racing, just doing regular jogging
from home over fairly short distances. Of course I missed the fun and friendships of competition but
I thought I was too old to race.
About a year ago, just before turning 72, I decided to try the local parkrun. I found it really motivating,
not only because it gave me a chance to enjoy socialising with other runners again, but because of
the way it is so well organised, giving immediate on-line results with age-related scores. As you get
older, it can be discouraging to know your times have slowed so much but the age-related scores
give a new incentive, a new chance to score a Personal Best (PB). The whole ethos of the Park Run
is to accept people of all shapes, sizes and ages and to encourage them to reach their own PBS. It
can be inspiring to see not only the talented winners but also to see ordinary people glowing as they
try to achieve their best. Now, once again, I am hooked on racing.
Then, to top it all, our event director Nick asked me to join Hastings Runners who needed more
women over 65 to make up a team for the British Masters (BMAF) National Road Race Relays in
Sutton Park, Birmingham on May 14th. My first National race at the age of 72!
I cannot put into words the joy I felt when, along with my two team-mates, I received a bronze medal
at that event! Our fastest team-member, Sylvia Huggett, is an experienced runner with many
achievements in her running career. But my other team-mate, Yock Lin Richardson, was even more
astonished than I was - the parkruns last year were the start of her running career and she too is
now over 70. But at that moment the years melted away and we were just three girls having a great
weekend away.
Thank you Park Run for showing me that age is not necessarily an obstacle!

HASTINGS PARKRUN
After 60 events, we are now averaging 137 runners per week and no fewer than 189 Hastings
Runners have now taken part in the parkrun! Many thanks to our excellent core team including corun directors Arrianne Callow, Anthony Gardner, Helen Brown, Ken and Jane Hughes. This is a
community event, relying exclusively on volunteers ...so if you've been running regularly but haven't
helped out yet; then please contact hastingshelpers@parkrun.com There are lots of volunteer roles
to fill from 18th June onwards! Hastings Runners highlights for past month included a spectacular
photo-bombing of the Hughes family clan by the other pacers on 4th June wearing tamashanters,
and a pre-run ode instead of the usual briefing!

MONDAY EVENING TRACK SESSIONS
These sessions are ideal for those wanting to improve their race times, as track work will improve
your pace judgment; get you used to running hard when you are tired; and will benefit you far more
than the usual diet of steady/slow runs. Many of the track regulars have come from parkrun, and
have made huge improvements in their race times - especially at 5kms.
You can all improve if you are prepared to put in some hard work, whether your target is to run a
sub 35mins or sub 65mins 10kms! The whole session including warm up and warm down lasts 50
– 60 mins; during which time most runners will have only spent 15 – 20mins running anaerobically
(ie getting into oxygen debt). The staggered start, with everyone setting off at the same time but at
various intervals dotted round the track, makes for some very tightly contested reps and gives
everyone an incentive. Meet 18.20pm for 18.30pm prompt start at William Parker athletics track in
Parkstone Road, Hastings; parking close by in Park Avenue, off Park View. Cost £2.00pp; under
18s free. Nick Brown

Running Tip of the Month
“Treat the first half of any race as a fast-paced training run so that there will be plenty in the tank for
the second half.”
GRIJSLOKE WEEKEND AUGUST 26th to 28th 2016.
This packed weekend starts with meeting early Friday morning travelling to France/Belgium, visiting
a town for lunch and maybe visiting a place of interest. We’ll then move on to Grijsloke to meet our
hosts at about 5.30pm.
The race is on Saturday at lunch time, there is a 6.7k (1 lap) and a 18.9k (3 laps) one short, two long.
In the evening there is a get together for drinks and sandwiches in Grijsloke’s clubhouse.
On Sunday we go to nearby woods for a short run or walk. Afterwards it’s back to the clubhouse at
lunchtime for more drinks and a lovely roast gammon, frittes and salad lunch (not to be missed!!!!!).
We depart the clubhouse at about 3.00pm for home.
So if you are thinking of joining us and can drive it would be very helpful if you can take your car as
we car share and are always short of space.
If you’d like to book a space please let me know as soon as possible, bookings for ferries and trains,
especially at a bank holiday weekends, always go fast.
Any questions please call Jill Green 01424 440087 (evenings)

worthy tribute to Keith and she looks forward to next year’s event.

Timing for Club Races – Tim proposed that Parkrun style timing could be introduced ie all members have a bar code. Equipment
needed – timer which clicks as people cross the line, barcode scanners and tokens. There was discussion around this. Terry asked
about hidden costs such as software upgrading. All agreed Tim should find out more about this system – Arianne invited him to
attend a Parkrun to see the it in operation.
Club Kit – Sweat shirts – Corinna pointed out there are two varieties currently and felt there should be a standard design. She will
approach Superstitch to find out why there are now two designs. She could also ask them to maintain a better stock of our kit.

Biking Festival – Peter (Cocker) has asked for support in running this event on the weekend of 11th June.
