Old Boy doing rather well - Rob Phillips

Following his 200m (24.1) at the recent Avon Schools championships he has been selected for 200m & relay by Avon for next months BU15 English Schools Championships (Birmingham). Recently Rob competed for Avon in the South West Schools Combined Events (Pentathlon) Championships at Millfield. Although this was a new event for him he managed to finish 3^rd (19 competitors) earning automatic selection for the English Schools Combined Events Finals that are being held in Stoke during September. The 5 events were 80 hurdles, Shot, Long Jump, High Jump and 800m. Rob is strong in 3 events, not bad in high jump but needs to learn shot as it cost him 2^nd place on the day.

Well done Rob from all your old coaches.

Prevention / relief from running stitches

Simple remedies to releive the good old STITCH

When running contract your stomach muscles
“Belly breathe” so that your belly rises and falls, stabilising your stomach
Press the point of pain with your hand and bend slightly forward
Don’t pound when running downhill
Leave an appropriate period between eating/drinking and running
During training or racing, if you must drink, take small amounts regularly, rather than one large quantity.
