Race reports/Upcoming race information

Race report feedback Chamberlain's Capital Classic - 06 October 2018 21.1 km (Elbert Loubser):Approaching Lynnwood Road from Atterbury road, via the double lane service road, one was met with blue flashing lights. It was not a roadblock, no, turns out that a truck had (what I gathered, as it was still dark) burnt out and was blocking both lanes. One's first reaction is that the truck probably had overturned, though its position was such that it was too far from the 270-degree turn/bend, nor could the 'onramp' have caused a 'load shift'. Well, unceremoniously and with some risk I was directed directly onto the N1 North. As to how I eventually got back onto Lynnwood road, is not to be divulged in print. :-( and :-) No rain or clouds in sight this year. Hmmm, expectations were that this was going to be a warm race, temperature wise. So, sunscreen preparations were essential. The gate to the parking at the Phobians 'top field' (approaching from 'The Link street' side) was open. Unfortunately (overheard), apparently there was a delay at the 'bottom field' gate entrance, which seriously hampered Chad to have coffee ready timeously.

A unique aspect of the Chamberlain’s race is that one is able to earn a R200 Chamberlain's voucher, by running and completing the half-marathon (within cut-off time) in a 'kilt'. This lead to quite a colourful display of multicoloured 'skirts/kilts', Tam o' shanters (hat) Scottish outfits and accompanying humour/banter between athletes.

The familiar voice of the MoC (Neels Vermeulen) welcomed us and shared information on starting times etc. Later in the morning, the intertwined whiff of pancakes, coffee and boerewors being braai'ed adds to the festival ambience.

The Start was just outside the main gate in Queen's Crescent. The initial forward movement to the starting point catching many of us off guard (again! - hmmm), as one quickly needed to reset the stopwatch back to zero (Eish! This happening even after a club member pre-warned us). Ok, then the actual 'send off' shot (which I honestly did not hear). King's Highway sloping upwards. Spot Neville Muir (Phobians) marshalling c/o Om die Berg (yip, same spot he did last year :-)).

Down past Frik Eloff Park (Dog club board at the gate), then Mimosa Avenue (here King's Highway 'leaves' us, with a sharp left curve), left into Miller's Mile Street, a sweep to the right onto Derek's Lane (Ian McFayden marshalling - I have lost count as to how many years Ian had already marshalled on this exact corner - Dawie Chamberlain and myself had a brief chat passing by), a link via Rodericks Road back to King's Highway. Sapper's Contour (first watering point manned by Alpha Centurion members, I think, as I spotted Ina), brings us into the Innovation Hub area, where we circle clockwise (Manie Bosch shares a snippet on the new 'Africa campus' barely visible through the trees) and we exit the 'Hub' eastwards, through the booms, over the N1 (South/Hotel Street). A brief glimpse of the CSIR A-frame main entrance, then a fairly longish climb up Meiring Naude Road, a short section on King's Highway back over the N1, left into Sapper's Contour. Here Frances van Blerk and I are overwhelmed by the encouragement of S4J 'orange T-shirts' (watering point), Norman 'armed' with his camera (photos already made available by him on Facebook - 1 of 9 albums https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10155864174145975&type=3 etc). Lovely! This year I can re-confirm that there are no hopping rabbits/bunnies left in the little 'park' adjacent to Flinders Lane. :-(

Queens's Crescent, then Rodericks Road, circling past Lynnwood Primary school (Leon Ganswyk of Phobians greets heartily on 'n 'drive by momentary stop'), left into Mimosa, left into Miller's Mile street, which at some stage (believe it or not) becomes Queen's Crescent again, yip, all the way back to Phobians. This being one of the loveliest spotted shade downhill stretches one is rewarded with (Manie Bosch concurs). The 10 kay participants leave us as we continue back to the notorious King's Highway (hill) for the second lap.

The sun now started to throw serious heat and glare. Fortunately, I had my peak with me, which enabled me to temporarily swap the Tam o' shanter for a more suitable 'eye shading' aid. The obligatory additional 1.1 kay loop needed to make up the eventual 21.1 (Dawn and Monica Roads) was reconnoitred (another nice, shady section).

Back on the cricket field at Phobians, Dawie Chamberlain (and company) greet those of us attired in kilts with a tot of Black Label Johnny Walker and the 'prized' Chamberlain voucher. Thank you!

Cold Coke and water sachets available at the Run-A-Way watering tables, adjacent to the fleet of Chamberlain trucks on display, Western side of the cricket field. Thank you, Stein and helpers,!

Another well organised event, thank you Phobians.

Base camp for the Agapé club (set up the previous day) a welcome sight to unwind after the race. Thank you, Hennie and Marix.

Agapé greetings.

Is It Harmful to Heel Strike When Running?

Page 5: This n That - Agape 10-08.doc  · Web viewNext league race – CSIR Road Race – 20 October. Agapé AGM – 17 November. Editorial. Please remember that this Saturday 13 October

Even though 95 percent of runners instinctively strike the ground with their heels, there is a growing trend among running experts to have lifelong heel strikers convert to a more forward contact point. The switch to a mid and/or forefoot strike pattern is supposed to reduce impact loads and enhance the storage and return of energy in our tendons (making us faster and more efficient, as demon-strated in the illustration above). The theory is that because we’ve had our feet protected by shoes for so long, we’ve recklessly started landing on our heels because we could no longer sense the dan-gerous impact forces associated with heel striking. By reverting to a more natural midfoot strike, we will avoid injury and run more efficiently.

Although appealing, the belief that switching to a mid or forefoot contact point will alter injury rates and improve efficiency has never been proven. Research evaluating injury rates associated with dif-ferent contact points in more than 1600 runners has shown no difference in the incidence of run-ning-related injuries between rearfoot and forefoot strikers (1-3). Advocates of midfoot strike pat-terns will cite a frequently referenced study published in Medicine and Science in Sports and Exer-cise showing that runners making initial contact at the midfoot have 50 percent reduced rates of in-juries (4). The problem with this study is that the 16 runners involved were all Division I college run-ners who self-selected a midfoot strike pattern.

While self-selecting a midfoot strike pattern is fine and is often the sign of a high-level athlete, it’s the conversion of a natural heel strike runner into a midfoot strike runner that causes trouble. In my experience, the world’s fastest runners who self-select midfoot strike patterns tend to be biomech-anically perfect, with wide forefeet, neutral arches, and flexible calves. Over the past 30 years, I’ve noticed that flat-footed recreational runners who attempt to transition to forefoot strike patterns tend to get inner foot and ankle injuries such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis, while high-arched runners attempting to transition to a more forward contact point frequently suffer sprained ankles and metatarsal stress fractures.

RELATED: Reduce Injury Risk With A Stronger Core

The reason that runners with heel versus mid/forefoot strike patterns get different injuries is be-cause they absorb force in different areas. In a detailed study evaluating the biomechanics of ha-bitual heel and forefoot strike runners, researchers from the University of Massachusetts demon-strate that runners who strike the ground with their forefoot absorb more force at the ankle and less at the knee (5). The opposite is true for heel strikers in that they have reduced muscular strain at the ankle with increased strain at the knee.

This is consistent with several studies confirming that the choice of a heel or midfoot strike pattern does not alter overall force present during the contact period, it just transfers the force to other joints and muscles: mid- and forefoot strikers absorb the force in their arches and calves, while heel strikers absorb more force with their knees. This research proves that choosing a specific contact point does not alter overall force, it just changes the location where the force is absorbed. This is the biomechanical version of “nobody rides for free.”

Research evaluating the metabolic cost of running also shows no clear advantage for a more for-ward contact point. In fact, most studies suggest the vast majority of recreational runners are signi-ficantly more efficient with a heel-first strike pattern. In a detailed paper published in the Journal of Experimental Biology, scientists calculated joint torque, mechanical work performed, and muscle activity associated with altering initial contact points at various speeds of walking and running (6). The results of this study confirmed that walking with a heel-first strike pattern reduced the meta-bolic cost of walking by a surprising 53 percent. That’s a huge difference in efficiency and it explains why almost all slow joggers (who often run just a little faster than walking pace) make initial ground contact with their heels. This contrasts with studies showing that as many as one-third of the world’s fastest distance runners strike the ground with their midfoot (7).

RELATED: Sole Care: How Runners Can Reduce Foot Injuries

The big question is, since fast runners are equally efficient with either a heel or midfoot contact point, while most recreational runners are more efficient with a heel-first strike pattern, at what speed does a heel contact lose its metabolic advantage? In a computer simulated study evaluating efficiency, researchers from the University of Massachusetts showed that while running at 7:36 per mile pace, heel striking was approximately 6 percent more efficient than mid or forefoot striking (8). Some recent research suggests that the 6:25 per mile pace is the transition point at which there is no difference in economy between heel and midfoot strike patterns (9). These studies confirm that although highly skilled runners are efficient while landing on their mid or forefeet, the majority of re-creational runners are more efficient with a heel-first strike pattern.

Given the clear metabolic advantage associated with heel striking at all but the fastest running speeds, it’s not surprising that when asked to rate comfort between heel and midfoot strike pat-terns, recreational runners state that a rearfoot strike pattern is significantly more comfortable (10). Improved efficiency also explains why approximately 35 percent of runners transitioning into minim-alist footwear continue to strike the ground with their heels despite the amplified impact forces: heel striking is too efficient to give up (11).

The bottom line is that before you consider switching from a heel to a midfoot strike, make sure that it’s clinically justified. Because midfoot strike patterns significantly reduce stress on the knee, they should be considered for all runners suffering with recurrent knee pain. This is especially true for faster runners with wide forefeet and flexible Achilles tendons. Conversely, runners with a history of Achilles, forefoot, and/or plantar fascial injuries should almost always make initial contact along the outside of the heel, because contrary to what many running experts say, striking the ground heel first is safe and efficient. The ninety-five percent of runners who naturally select a heel-first strike pattern can’t all be wrong.

Your smile for the week

A blonde and a redhead have a ranch. They have just lost their bull. The women need to buy another, but only have $500. The redhead tells the blonde, "I will go to the market and see if I can find one for under that amount. If I can, I will send you a telegram." She goes to the market and finds one for $499. Having only one dollar left, she goes to the telegraph office and finds out that it costs one dollar per word. She is stumped on how to tell the blonde to bring the truck and trailer. Finally, she tells the telegraph operator to send the word "comfortable." Sceptical, the operator asks, "How will she know to come with the trailer from just that word?" The redhead replies, "She's a blonde so she reads slow: 'Come for ta bull.'"

==Two guys are walking through a game park & they come across a lion that has not eaten for days. The lion starts chasing the two men. They run as fast as they can, and the one guy starts getting tired and decides to say a prayer, "Please turn this lion into a Christian, Lord." He looks to see if the lion is still chasing and he sees the lion on its knees. Happy to see his prayer answered, he turns

around and heads towards the lion. As he comes closer to the lion, he hears it saying a prayer: "Thank you Lord for the food I am about to receive."

Something to ponder over / something spiritual

"Finding Hope" In Difficult Times - Even in the Darkest MomentsHope means, "to desire something with confident expectation of its fulfilment." The state of Hope-lessness has been aptly described as a type of "Hell on Earth," filled with endless despondency and despair.

Today, more and more people are finding themselves alone and depressed, and few of us have not at one time, or another felt the sting of despondency and despair.

But Good news! Help is available, not the kind the world has, wherein it wishes for the best. It is one thing to wish, and quite another to have faith based on the promises of God.

God is Our SourcePaul wrote that when you place your trust in God, He will fill you with peace, joy, and assurance, (Rom 15:13).

Throughout the Bible, God proves His faithfulness to His people by leading them safely through or delivering them from all their predicaments and troubles. He will never leave or forsake His people; His plans are to prosper, not to harm them (Jer. 29:11).

People and things will always let us down. In Psa. 33:17, the horse, often used as a symbol of power, is declared a vain hope for deliverance; despite all its great strength, it cannot save. In Jer. 17:5 God sternly warns against placing our dependency on man and calls it a curse.

God wants us to trust in Him. Psa. 147:11 tells us that He is delighted when we put our trust in Him, and in Heb. 10:23 we are told to rely on Him for He who promised it is faithful. 

Finding HelpTo reap the benefits of the Christian life and to have protection, guidance, and depression advice from the Holy Spirit one must first be born again and become a Child of God.

The born-again Child of God has the unique privilege of talking to and hearing from God, but this, the greatest resource available, is often neglected.

Christians should always pray! Even in the darkest moments when you don't feel His presence and think you will never smile again, pray anyway because He is there. He is listening and is an "ever-present help in time of trouble," (Psa. 46:1).

"He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us," (2 Cor 1:10).

When we place our faith in God and the resurrection of Jesus from the dead, we then trust Him to take us to Heaven. If we can trust Him with our eternity, surely, we can trust Him for our earthly/daily cares.

Jesus said that as God clothes the grass of the field, so will He clothe us even more. He tells us not to worry about what we shall eat or drink or how we will be clothed. The "heavenly father knoweth that ye have need of all these things," (Matt 6:30-32).

"Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him," (1 Cor 2:9).

Hope in Difficult Times

Even if you reach what you consider to be your lowest point, God's Word says He will never leave or forsake you, (Matt 28:20). 

He will give you peace and comfort even in the worst of circumstances, then lead you through, over or around the muck and mire of your situation, and again set your feet on solid ground.

Our God is the God of new beginnings, with Him, nothing is impossible. Whether you are very young or considered to be very old, trust in Him because with Him it is always just the beginning.

You may even find yourself in such a situation through divorce, death of a spouse, loss of health, fin-ances, or whatever, that may force you to begin all over again, but is that so bad? Trusting God in difficult times forces us to seek His guidance, and to trust in Him.

Trusting God through these uncharted waters takes faith and courage but is worth every effort. The path of His choosing is the only one that leads to true happiness,

Isn't this a wonderful promise "...those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint," (Is 40:31).

Even in the Worst of SituationsA shining example of living with hope is Victor Frankel, a former prisoner in a Nazi prison camp.

"As a long-time prisoner in bestial concentration camps he [Viktor Frankly] found himself stripped to naked existence. His father, mother, brother, and his wife died in camps or were sent to gas ovens, so that, excepting for his sister, his entire family perished in these camps.

How could he - every possession lost, every value destroyed, suffering from hunger, cold and brutal-ity, hourly expecting extermination - how could he find life worth preserving?" 

In one of his darkest moments while digging in a cold icy trench, he writes:

"In a last violent protest against the hopelessness of imminent death, I sensed my spirit piercing through the enveloping gloom. I felt it transcend that hopeless, meaningless world, and from some-where I heard a victorious 'Yes' in answer to my question of the existence of an ultimate purpose.

At that moment a light was lit in a distant farmhouse, which stood on the horizon as if painted there, in the midst of the miserable grey of a dawning morning in Bavaria. 'Et lux in tenebris lucent'--and the light shineth in the darkness."

From one of His Counselling Sessions"This young woman knew that she would die in the next few days. But when I talked to her she was cheerful in spite of this knowledge. 'I am grateful that fate has hit me so hard,' she told me. 'In my former life I was spoiled and did not take spiritual accomplishments seriously.'

Pointing through the window of the hut, she said, 'This tree here is the only friend I have in my loneliness.' Through that window she could see just one branch of a chestnut tree, and on the branch were two blossoms. 'I often talk to this tree,' she said to me.

I was startled and didn't quite know how to take her words. Was she delirious? Did she have occa-sional hallucinations? Anxiously I asked her if the tree replied. 'Yes.' What did it say to her? She answered, 'It said to me, "I am here--I am here--I am life, eternal life."  ("www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/frankl/frankl.html")

Jesus is Our Solid RockChristians can find peace during times of crises and trials that often drive others to drink or suicide. This is the blessed comfort of the Holy Spirit, who indwells every born-again Believer.

Through Him, even in the midst of terrible devastating and humiliating experiences, Christians can have the peace, joy, and hope that passes all understanding, (Phil 4:7).

Hope for EternityJesus is our solid rock, and because of Him, death is not the end. Even when the angels carry us to our glorious home in Heaven, we can know that He is with us and that it is just the beginning.

Claim His PromisesGod's promises are indeed a genuine source of hope that does not disappoint. It is in His promises you will find everlasting life and confident hope. 

"For no matter how, many promises God has made, they are "Yes," in Christ, (2 Cor 1; 20).

"May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope." (Rom 15:13, Amp).

"Why are you downcast, O my soul? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Saviour and my God," (Psa. 42:5).
