Well done and congratulations to Leith’s Stephen Johnson, who despite having an illness in the week leading up to the race, still managed to finish in 3h 4m (4:20/km) on a notoriously tough course. 

Stephen says: “I am so proud of that. A week of sickness going into this made this tough. If this was any other race I’d have pulled the plug, but I had to show up, and show up I did. So grateful to all the friends and family who supported and all the amazing people at Leith who’ve trained with me over the last few months.

A personal note – I actually entered this marathon not to get a time. I’ve been dealing with anxiety (and some crazy symptoms) for the past couple of years, and this was part of my journey to move past it. This was a real victory!!

Now to never run a marathon again and stick to the short stuff.”

Editorial opinion on that last quote by Stephen:  “How many of us have said that we will never run a marathon again. Watch this space lol.”

Our top class Leith Senior Men’s Team: Tadhg Ryan Charleton, Ben Pigou, Sándor Tóth, Nathan Shanks, Stephen Johnson, Dan Hayman, Nic Bathgate had an awesome result, finishing 14th (of 26) in the tough A grade against the nation’s best clubs. The team’s total time was 3:12:03 for the distance. Well done Lads. We have some more photo collages here courtesy of Nic’s usually long arms lol

A weekend that will live long in the memory – Tadhg Ryan Charleton

“The NZ Road Relays gave us a race and a weekend that will live long in the memory. Getting 7 people from Dunedin to Taupō is never straightforward, but the trip couldn’t have gone smoother. Major kudos to Ben and Stephen on that front – both navigated a tonne of road closures while driving us to and from the big lake. Ben also found a great AirBnB for the weekend, even though we needed IT support from Nic to unpick the lock.

The Team Manager’s meeting last Monday warned us not to expect a flat or fast course, and it was definitely a tough test. All relay legs, except Ben’s, took place on the “International Circuit”, a twisty 3.4km lap where the first 2.2km was mostly uphill against a decent southerly. The best part of the course was a lovely 1200m stretch coming back towards the finish of each lap, with a slight downhill gradient and a tailwind. Sándor charged through this section at 3:02/km near the end of his 6.7km leg and Dan recorded a couple 3:12/kms during his 10km anchor leg.

Nic and Nathan worked miracles to pull themselves together just 13 days after the Dunedin marathon. Both performed excellently and went deep into their reserves at key points in the race. Ben mixed it with the top teams in the country in the early stages of the first leg, before coming home in 14th with a high quality 16:09. He handed off to Sándor, who executed a baton changeover masterclass while scorching to a 3:20/km average pace. Stephen’s 10km leg (#5) was expertly paced, suggesting that there are big performances ahead – both in New York and beyond. I ran Leg 4 and was happy with how it went, picking up from a fast-finishing Nic and handing off to Stephen. Most teams had kept their fastest runner for the anchor, so Dan’s 12th place performance on the last leg was particularly impressive. We were happy with 14th place overall and look forward to building on it in the future.

On behalf of all of us who travelled -and Corey who we lost to injury- we would like to say a massive thanks to the Club and Officers for the support that made this possible.”

Leith Specific Report

Marathon and Otago Marathon Champs

Leith athletes had an extremely successful outcome over the various distance event on offer. Mel Aikten the most successful athlete in the 44-year history of the event now has five victories and two runner-up finishes in the Emerson’s-sponsored marathon since 2012. See the report in the link to ODT article Aitken takes control from the get-go to claim a fifth title.

Her time for the Marathon was 3 hours 1 minute and 11 seconds. Running in the Masters Women 35-49 grade, she also took was also the first female (registered or non-registered) to cross the line thus winning the Women’s Otago Marathon Championship title

Also having awesome out there was Leith’s Kristy Eyles who was not too far behind as the third female overall in a personal best of 3hr 5min 8sec. She finished 2nd female in the Otago Champs being the 2nd ANZ runner to finish and was 2nd in the Masters Women 35-49 grade.

The Leith Masters Men 35-49 had a field day finishing second, third and fourth in their grade. Craig Iversen finished 6th overall in 02:43:46, winning the Masters Men 35-49 Otago  Marathon Champs as the first registered runner in his grade. Likewise, Nathan Shanks was second in 02:44:10 and Nic Bathgate was third 02:50:26 completing the Champs podium.  Leith’s Liam Turk won the Senior Men’s Otago Champs title finishing 16 overall in 02:50:55

Just back from England, Leith’s James Pemberton won the Masters Men 50-64 title in 03:17:21.  
Dave McLean, the wily old veteran from Leith finished second in the Otago Masters Men 65+ Champs to the quality former Leith athlete, Steve Smith, now running for Otago Masters Athletics, who won it in a remarkable 03:53:08. Steve Smith is an example of a runner who does the steady easy miles with a minimum of all-out quality sessions to achieve maximum results over a distance such as the marathon.

Half-Marathon

Although there were no Championship titles at stake, the Leith athletes put their hearts and souls into this race with the first Leith athlete to cross the line being Stephen Johnson who finished 4th overall in 01:16:42, he was 4th Senior Male and the 4th Male. Aaron Eyles was 4th in the Masters Men 35-49 grade and 11th Male and 11th overall. Bryan Staunton was the 12th athlete across the line in a personal best of 01:20:46 and 8th Senior (under 35) Male. It won’t be too long before he gets under that magical sub 1:20 mark. Simon Leaning had a fanstatic run finishing 3rd in the Masters Men 50+ grade in 01:26:37 and 31st Male overall and showing the youngsters how to do it

10km

Grayson Westgate was one of the stars of the show for Leith finishing 2nd in 32:03 just three seconds adrift of the winner Alex Witt who finished in exactly 32 minutes.  Dan Hayman was not too far off finishing in 4th place in 32:49. Sandor Toth was the next Leith athlete to finish in 8th place. He achieved a personal best of 34:40 with Tadhg Ryan-Charleton just 2 seconds adrift in 9th with 34:42

Hoka Runaway Sydney Half Marathon, Sunday 5 May 2024

Sydney, Australia

Congratulations to Laura Bungard and her Mum who had a fantastic time at the Sydney Half Marathon on Sunday.  Where best to run a Half Marathon and in “perfect conditions” as she describes in her review below.  Her race stats: LAURA BUNGARD, NET TIME: 01:32:06, PLACE 715 OF 15155, FEMALE 73 OF 6649, Female (20-24) 13 OF 1265

Laura Bungard’s Review of her Half Marathon in Sydney

Here is my race review for the Runaway Sydney Half Marathon! I did 1:32.06 in the Half Marathon, and mum did 1:00.46 in the 10km

“Perfect conditions (17 degrees and rain) in Sydney for the Half! The course was stunning, running along some of the beautiful streets, darling harbour, and the Botanical Gardens, but it was definitely not flat (perfect course of course). Was the toughest half I’ve ever run due to the undulations and slippery surfaces, but a good morning out none the less and super stoked with my effort! The atmosphere was electric, with over 20000 runners completing either the 10km or the Half marathon. Superb organisation by the organisers and an awesome running community over the ditch.”

TCS London Marathon, Sunday 21 April 2024

London, England

Bernie O’Leary ran the London Marathon and he ran 3 hours 42 minutes for the event. Here are his thoughts on the event

Bernie: Last Sunday I ran the London marathon and here are a few observations of the event:

– there were 50,000 runners on the day. Entry for overseas runners is either through a ballot (hugely in demand with a 3% probability of success), through a marathon tour company ($$) or as a charity runner.
– the marathon is the largest fundraising event on the planet. Charities are allocated a number of start places that are ‘sold’ to runners who need to raise money for that particular charity (typically at least £2,000 or NZ$4k as a minimum).
– the pre-event expo was massive with a lot of nutrition products and running gear on offer.
-uniquely, there are 3 different start lines, all at Greenwich park. The various start waves were smooth with little wait time to the start. The runners merge at about 4km. The course goes past the Cutty Sark (a British tea clipper ship), over Tower Bridge, through Canary Wharf, along the Thames embankment, past Big Ben and Houses of Parliament, and finishes in The Mall.
– there were numerous aid stations, all offering water in plastic bottles. A Lucozade energy drink was available at several stations, but the first one was not until the 13km mark. Most runners carried their own nutrition. The discarded plastic water bottles were an unsightly mess – and hardly environmentally friendly.
– a lot of runners wore super shoes. Notably, I could hear the loud noise of any Nike alphafly shoes nearby, a truly noisy and ungainly looking shoe (think Goofy!).
– the crowd support was amazing, in huge numbers and very, very raucous.
– there were a lot of costumed runners. I got passed by a dinosaur and a helicopter, and passed a banana, an ambulance and a giant rubix cube! The 10kg rubix cube was strapped to the runner’s chest and he was trying to break the record for the number of times solving it in a race (over 400).
– the great Ethiopian runner, Kenenisa Bekele was in the event. He finished a close second in just over 2:04 and at 41, set a world masters record. What an inspirational runner.
– running in such a large field was hard work. Lots of pushing, shoving, elbows, being cut off and hard to pass. This is a reality of a big city marathon but London was very bad in this respect.

If you’re lucky enough to gain a place someday, I’m sure you’ll enjoy the whole experience – it is so unlike any marathon in NZ

Nic Bathgate’s Marathon Journey 

Nic achieved his  Marathon PB of 02:37:27 – He swore during Sunday’s marathon that it would be his last one, but he said that he seems to have a very short memory when it comes to the pain of the marathon!

Here is his story….

“I ran my first marathon in Dunedin in 2018, 2 years after getting into running and finished 2nd overall in 2hr 47m. Almost six years later, last Sunday, I ran my 6th, the Christchurch marathon, in 2hr 37m.

They say the path to progress isn’t always straight, and this has certainly been the case in my marathon journey:
– Dunedin 2018 – 2hr 47m ?
– Christchurch 2021 – 2hr 47m ?
– Dunedin 2022 – 2hr 53m ?
– Queenstown 2022 – 2hr 48m ?
– Christchurch 2023 – 2hr 46m ?‍♂️
– Christchurch 2024 – 2hr 37m ✅

There are many things that can go wrong in the marathon, for me, nausea/vomiting in Chch 2021, a year long achilles injury in 2021/22 and an eight month post tib injury in 2023 meant I fell well short of my goal each time.

Sunday’s race wasn’t perfect, but it was finally the step forward I’ve been looking for since 2021. My approach to most things in life is to analyze my failures and look for incremental adjustments to improve. Some of the adjustments I’ve made for marathon training have been:
– Realistic expectations. In 2021 my goal was sub 2hr 30m, this year I aimed for 2hr 35m
– Professional coaching. My coach Matt Ingram pushes me when I need it and holds me back when I want to bite off more than I can chew
– Learning to manage injuries. I’ve had injuries this year, but Matt has helped me train through these injuries without making them worse.
– Nutrition, both in and out of the race. Training my stomach to digest gels at marathon pace (this is a work in progress), and experimenting with body weight – I’ve found that while being lighter makes it easier to run fast, it also severely increases injury risk and slows injury recovery. Better to be a few kg heavier this year but not too injured to run
– Cross training. A third to a quarter of my training this year has been on Zwift (indoor cycling), this reduces the impact of running on my body while keeping aerobic training volume high
– Strength work. As we age our tendons become more susceptible to injury, to be able to complete the long fast marathon workouts needed to improve I’ve needed to build tension in my tendons with daily strength exercises

Christchurch marathon this year was more than the perfect weather, the lack of nausea and getting to the start line (relatively) fit and uninjured. It’s been years in the making. There are still some areas to improve, a faster time is possible, and while I swore during Sunday’s marathon that it would be my last one, I seem to have a very short memory when it comes to the pain of the marathon!”

 “A” goal Today was 1:12, B goal 1:13 flat. And C goal sub 1:15

Lining up on the start line I felt nervous on the pace I was needing to run to achieve any one of these goals. By the time I found my groove I was quite settled into the 3:30 or thereabouts pace and tried to hold that as best I could, a stitch hit me quite early on, but it seemed to disappear. Running through 10k in 35:06 I felt like I was going very well but knew I needed to hold on to the same pace to achieve the higher end of my goals.

Running the last 6k or so was quite tough with the number of walkers and runners about on the course. But nonetheless an awesome day out and a well-run event! Thanks Christchurch. I’ll be back for sure!”
