Coming up ...
Fri-Sun 12-14 Mar - IAAF World Indoor Champs., Doha, Qatar Sun 21 Mar - SEAA Men's 12-Stage Road Relay and Women's 6-Stage Road Relay, Milton Keynes.
Phillips out of the Champs Monday 8 March. Sadly, Phillips Idowu has decided not to defend his World Indoor title this coming weekend. "I am gutted not to be representing GB and passing up the opportunity to defend my title," said Idowu, who won outdoor gold in Berlin in 2009. "However the late arrival of my baby boy has meant that my training has been severely disrupted. I decided after talking to my coach that I had not had the preparation we agreed was needed to do the British team proud. I was hoping to avoid this by competing in a larger than usual number of events early in the season, but it hasn't worked out that way. Instead I will increase the training with a focus on the European Championships in Barcelona. I wish the team the best of luck in Doha." |

Watch Nick's "National" win on video ... thanks to the boys from RunnersLife Link It's a Belgrave 1-2 in Finsbury Park Sunday 7 March. Travelling to North London in his search for a race, Paskar Owor ran away from the field to win London Heathside's 5 miler in 25:45. In second place was none other than Hassan Raidi - 26:37. David Anderson - 9th in National Duathlon Champs Saturday 6 March. After placing 2nd in a field of 700 in an Olympic distance Triathlon last September (fastest swimmer and runner), David tackled the Clumber Classic Duathlon which doubled as the National Championships. Now he's really raising eyebrows in the triathlon world. He was second fastest over the initial 10k run, 31:47, rode 40k on his bike, 1:03:00, before finishing with a 16:51 5k. ... and in 117th was Paul Freary with 33:11, 1:12:30 and 18:11 - 22nd in his age group. Fast times in Bushy parkrun Saturday 6 March. Led by Blackheath & Bromley Harriers' Mike Skinner (14:46), Bushy Park's 5k course took a battering. Richard Stannard was down to 15:54, and in the mix (but unrecorded due to a detour near the end) was Max Kiralyfi. Will Cockerell had to "sprint" a mile to get to the start on time and then got blown away in the melee at the start, settling for turning the run into a faartlek session. Samson scales new heights Thursday 4 March. High jumping at the Europa SC competition, Banksá Bystrica, Slovakia, Samson Oni set a new personal record, indoors or out, in leaping 2.31 metres for second place. If he can reproduce this form next weekend in the IAAF World Championships in Doha, Qatar, he should have no difficulty making the final. Nick Goolab retains his National U20 Title Saturday 27 February, Roundhay Park, Leeds. A wonderful run came from Nick Goolab who retained his ECCA Under 20 Men's Cross Country Championship today. He told us that he was very nervous beforehand but ended up only the sixth man in the history of the race to defend his title. Nick came home with a 16 second advantage over arch rival James Wilkinson of Leeds. Only Sarah Murphy was in action for the Belles but she had a cracking run to place 46th. Winner was Aldershot's Steph Twell. Senior Men ... pleased with 7th Aldershot, Farnham & District AC won the senior men's race, led home by winner Andy Vernon with the Beagles' Moumin Geele 2nd. Leeds City AC were second team on their home turf with Bedford & County AC third. Belgrave were delighted with 7th team spot, missing several leading runners. A storming run from Dan Mulhare brought him home 16th, James Kelly was 41st, Paskar Owor 89th, Mark Pollard 103rd, James Fairbourn 153rd and Will Cockerell 165th.

UKA named the Great Britain & Northern Ireland team for the IAAF World Championships and included Belgravians Samson Oni (High Jump), Dwain Chambers (60m, fastest in the World this winter) and Phillips Idowu (Triple Jump, World Champion). It is expected that David Gillick will represent Ireland in the 400m.Wokingham "half" Sunday 21 February. Dismal conditions didn't deter Samantha Amend who is making good progress towards the Virgin London Marathon. Today she placed third over 13.1 miles at Wokingham in 79:30. Indoor roundup Saturday 20 February. Aviva Grand Prix, Birmingham. For the third time this winter Samson Oni cleared 2.28m in the high jump, this time taking second place behind the Russian Master Rybakov. Running his first race since last summer David Gillick not only won the 400 metres but equalled his personal best which also happens to be the Irish Record. Coming back from prolonged injury Sweden's Christian Olssen looks as if he might be a bit of a handful for World Champ Phillips Idowu. This was the third time he's had the better of Phillips in the last few weeks but nevertheless, the Belgravian set an indoor season's best of 17.25m so is moving in the right direction with the Indoor World Champs still three weeks off. Tim Bayley ran a personal record of 3:40.16 in the 1500m, backing up a recent 3:59.75 at the Reebok Indoor Games in Boston. And also over in the USA the Gauson brothers have been in action over the mile. Kris Gauson ran 4:03.68 at South Bend, Indiana, and a week later Darren Gauson ran 4:01.12 with Kris 4:07.10 in Seattle.
