NEWS CROSS COUNTRY IS COMING ARDIFF will kick C off the British Athletics Cross Challenge this winter, with the final fixture – the Inter-Counties Champs – again returning to Prestwold Hall near Loughborough. Traditionally, Cardiff stages a Cross Challenge event in January, but for the forthcoming series it moves to October 14 and will switch from Bute Park to be staged at Llandaff Fields in conjunction with a Gwent League fixture. The series continues at Milton Keynes on November 11, Sefton Park in Liverpool for the European trials on November 25 and Antrim in Northern Ireland on January 6 before culminating at Prestwold Hall in the East Midlands on March 10. British Athletics Cross Challenge: starts in Cardiff and concludes in Prestwold Park again Prestwold Hall held a successful Inter-Counties Champs and Cross Challenge final in March this year and the landowner, Edward Packe- Drury-Lowe, is keen for the event to return. Packe-Drury-Lowe is a keen runner himself who often trains barefoot on the grassland of the Prestwold Hall estate. Situated just a few miles outside Loughborough, it boasts a central location, ample MARK SHEARMAN car parking for all and acres of rolling grassland. The only small criticism heard from athletes this year was that there was sometimes a lack of atmosphere at the extremities of the course due to the size of laps. But a separate walkway is being created for next year’s event which will help spectators move around, while there is also talk of a possible large video screen in the start/finish area. The early winter period also includes the English Cross Country Relays in Mansfield on November 4. The 25th European Cross Country Championships is in Samorin, Slokavia, on December 10 and the Simplyhealth Great Edinburgh XCountry on January 13. LONDON COACH CONFERENCES LOREN SEAGRAVE and Shaun Pickering are among the speakers at the third IAAF world coaches’ conference, which is in London from August 7-10 at the Hilton Canary Wharf. Topics to be covered include: physiological and metabolic background of endurance, strength and speed training and the brain as a performancelimiting factor, while the event will also feature question and answer sessions. The British Milers’ Club also stages its national endurance coaches symposium during the IAAF World Championships week. The event is on August 13 at the Holiday Inn in Stratford and features a guest lecture from coach and athlete manager Nic Bideau. BOB SMITH REMEMBERED NEWHAM & Essex Beagles stalwart, Bob Smith, has died from cancer aged 61. The club said: “Bob was an extraordinary person who touched the lives of many with his enthusiasm and unwavering commitment and loyalty and he will be deeply missed.” Smith was a former high jumper and his father, Mike, was a well-known sprints coach who died earlier this year. Along with his life at his club, he held England Athletics regional and area manager roles and managed the governing body’s work in London during the build-up and aftermath of the 2012 Games. Bob Smith (front, right) with Newham’s road relay-winning team in 2009 Newham & Essex Beagles clubmate Tony Shiret said: “At the peak of his powers he assembled one of the greatest club winter teams (at NEB) and inspired and organised a London participation scheme alongside the 2012 Games that involved over 200,000 Londoners. He was one of those unique people who was incredibly knowledgeable, enthusiastic, supportive and loyal and this made people want to turn out and do things for him personally, which is a rare gift. He was the heartbeat of our club and a great man.” MARK SHEARMAN 1 2 A T H L E T I C S W E E K L Y
