In 2019 she ran Hong Kong, Boston and New York marathons, jumping from 3:29 in her 2016 London debut to 2:37:01 in New York for 18th place in the race and 18th fastest performance in the UK. Not only that, but she ran a half marathon PB (1:16:46) in the first half of the race!

Becs was brought up as a multi sport athlete and has also run ultra marathons. Now she’s focussed in on road running and has been training in a way that we don’t often see, running a high percentage of her 100-120 mile weeks on a treadmill.

That’s predominantly because when she teaches runners remotely via the Peloton platform she runs for at least 60 minutes each class and then goes outside at other times to do tempo and long runs. Not only does she have to run on the treadmill but she has to be able to talk too, so that adds its own training benefits. We caught up with Becs in January to find out more about her marathon journey and what she plans for 2020 and beyond.

Fast Running: What were you most excited by in your running or training last year?

Rebecca Gentry: I was incredibly excited to run NYC Marathon as my home race. Having moved to New York at the end of May 2018, it fast became a very special place and having cheered until I lost my voice at the 2018 race I was so inspired by the community to shine as well as I could.

I trained in a very different way for the race due to my role as a Peloton Tread instructor, finding myself completing some very high mileage weeks and a lot of double or triple run session days but always luckily felt strong. I was certainly driven to deliver my best possible race by the community and the crowds on the day.

FR:What are you most excited about looking to the year ahead? What are your key goals?

RG: My main goal is to stay fit and healthy. Following a very busy year with three marathons, one ultra marathon and a half marathon, as well as teaching over 340 Peloton Tread classes, my body was in need of a break from running as I was stubborn to accept that at the end of 2019.

Having taken that time now I have seen such a shift in my energy and mindset that I am committed to ensuring my training cycles are clear and supported with recovery. My focus is going to be on the half marathon distance for 2020, which is new, but thrilling to see where I can challenge myself over the shorter distance.

There are no words, just deep gratitude. • NYC Marathon 2019 2:37:01 • Thank you to everyone who supported me along the way, through my training to cheering your behinds off today. The streets of NYC were alive and I know that’s what got me to a 12 minute PR. • I ran with a smile. I truly flew. I am so freaking proud of myself. • @christianbrecheis Mile 21

FR: What do you think about the women’s marathon scene in GB at the moment? Who are you most excited by?

RG: I think the GB women’s team is in a great place right now, I am very excited to see Charlotte Purdue perform in 2020. She is seriously such a strong runner both mentally and physically. Jess Piasecki (Coulson) has shot to the forefront of the spotlight with her insane debut marathon performance in Florence (ed: 2019 when she ran 2:25:29 in her first completed marathon), setting her straight in as the third fastest British female of all time. I see no reason why she can’t shine to the top.

FR: Why do you think the GB women had such a great year last year?

RG: I think every year in sports the athletes grow and learn from the past. Sports as a whole has migrated to a more holistic approach to training and perhaps the intense scrutiny and pressure being taken off the runners gave them the chance to settle back into doing what they love – running and training hard – and their passion and spirit was able to shine through stronger.

FR:Who do you think is flying under the radar but destined to surprise everyone this year?

RG: Jess Piasecki – her journey from cross-country to 26.2 is epic and I can’t wait to see what she has in store to show us for 2020.

FR: What do you think about the decision not to preselect anyone for the Olympic team

RG: I am sure it is a very detailed decision making process. There are a great deal of talented runners out there and so I am sure the team will be populated by those the coaches deem to be the best and strongest to represent the country.

FR: Will you be running the London Marathon and if so, are you willing to share your goal for it?

RG: I will not be running it this year – I considered it for a while after NYC and was contemplating going for a sub 2:30. However, I sustained a minor foot injury which put me out for eight weeks, and I do not think I could perform my best in the timeframe now.

FR:What shoes do you train in and race in?

RG: I run in Nike Turbo 2 Rise or Nike React Infinity and race in Nike Next%

FR: Are there any supporters that have helped you over the last year that you’d like to mention

RG: Nike Running both in LA – specifically Blue Ribbon Sports – and Nike NYC have been incredible support to me, ensuring I have the right kit to train and race in, and of course Peloton who are always there to support my running and my recovery.

The post Becs Gentry flying high in NYC appeared first on Fast Running.

On Saturday, in the wind and rain, hundreds of runners took to the mud in Mansfield for the Saucony English National Cross Country Relays. This annual competition brings true team spirit and determination to the running world, and in perfect timing, the autumnal sun appeared just as the races were underway. 

In the senior women’s race, the victory title was once again claimed by Aldershot & Farnham District. After pushing away from Lincoln’s Abbie Donnelly, Emily Hosker-Thornhill gave AFD the lead they needed in the first leg.

Hosker-Thornhill then handed on to teammate Niamh Brown who ran the second leg in the 2nd overall fastest time and Lauren Hall with the fastest overall 3rd leg. In keeping with previous years, it was Blackburn’s Jessica Judd, who after a PB in Leeds last weekend ran the fastest time over the 2nd leg. 

The runner’s up at Berry Hill Park were the Leeds City AC team consisting of Bronwen Owen, Stephanie Pennycook, and Jennifer Walsh. The bronze medal went to Cambridge & Coleridge AC’s female team led by Holly Archer, followed by Victoria Knight and Suzie Reid. 

High competition levels hint at an exciting XC season ahead

The competition in the men’s race was incredibly high, with plenty of fast athletes pulling on their spikes and haring through the mud.  The victorious men, retaining their title once again, were Leeds City AC. Despite an early setback as Phil Sesemann took a tumble.

Sesemann achieved a third-place finish over one of the longer legs last year, but his tumble set him back into fifth place this year. The strong team behind him all ran strong legs pushing Leeds back up the ranks.

Matthew Grieve, Graham Rush, and Emile Cairess stormed to a first-place finish with Cairess delivering an impressive anchor leg. 

Jonathon Escalante-Phillips, Joseph Smith, Jack Gray, and Marc Scott had a sensational team performance, landing the Cambridge & Coleridge team to a second-place finish. C&C were followed by Bedford & County AC, made up of Max Bergin, Jack Goodwin, Matt Bray, and Dan Jarvis.  

It was Sam Stabler of Wreake & Soar Valley that took home the ‘winners’ title for the first leg, Aldershot’s Cross the title in the second leg, Leeds’s Graham Rush, and Emile Cairess in the final leg. 

On the roads. 

The success continued on the roads in Tatton Park 10k and Half Marathon. On Saturday the 10k took place with some incredible individual performances. The senior men’s title was secured by Mo Abu-Reezeq in an outstanding 30:18. The sub-30-minute PB boasting athlete had a cracking run in his sixth road 10k of the year. 

Kirsty Longley of Liverpool Pembroke Sefton was the winner of the women’s race. Longley ran 34:59 for first place, followed by Laura Lombard in a time of 37:45. Hannah Price competed the top three women at Tatton Park, stopping at 38:15 on the clock. 

After an astounding run on Saturday, Mo Abu-Reezeq also claimed the title in the half marathon on Sunday! An amazing double performance. The Altrincham athlete ran 67:59 for first place, ahead of Sale Harriers Manchester’s Nicholas Barry who clocked 1:11:18 for a second-place finish. Finishing just 17-seconds outside of his personal best, Paul Jones of Hereford ran 75:07. 

It was V40 athlete, Margaret Beever from Stainland who won the women’s race. Beever ran herself to an impressive time of 01:27:42. 

Swansea and Cardiff share the spoils

This year’s Richard Burton 10k saw a stacked field of high-quality athletes take to the roads of some of Wales’ picturesque villages. Jonathon Hopkins did Swansea Harriers proud with a strong performance and time of 30:36. Hopkins recently dipped significantly under the 30-minute mark, running 29:30 at last weekend’s Leeds Abbey Dash.

James Hunt was next to cross the line as the first of the two Cardiff athletes on the men’s podium. Hunt ran a solid 31:45 and was also amongst those who ran cracking performances in Leeds last weekend, where he clocked 29:12. Just 7 seconds behind Hunt was Tom Marshall, also from Cardiff AAC. 

Cardiff AAC’s success did not stop in the men’s race. Lucy Marland continued the performance glory into the women’s event. Marland ran a cracking 36:43 after a PB performance in Leeds last Sunday. Ashleigh Willis of Swansea and Sioned Howells of Amman Valley Harriers finished off the women’s podium in 39:30 and 40:09 respectively. 

Rush to the finish line

In keeping with the start of the winter festivities, the Bonfire Burn 10k took place. Graham Rush secured himself the position at the top of the podium. Rush added to the success of Leeds City this weekend with his gold medal in a time of 32:26. Following Rush, in 33:54 was Duncan Coombs and Johannes Arens 34:00, for second and third place respectively. 

In the women’s race, the winner was set from the start. Winning by a huge seven minutes, was Georgina Schwiening. The Cambridge athlete clocked 34:37 for first place. 

Over the marginally shorter 5-mile distance, was The Deal Castle 5-mile race. Charlie Brisley was the first male to cross the line and cut the tape in 24:43. Brisley of Invicta East Kent stormed the distance to a 5-mile personal best by 50 seconds!

Harrison Tremain crossed the line in second place with a time 27:04. It was the U20 Ashford AC athlete’s debut over the 5-mile distance. It was Stephen Male that took home the bronze medal in a close finish for third position. Male achieved a solid time of 28:02. 

In the women’s race, Renata Mcdonnell was first across the line, securing first place in a time of 31:10 for Deal Tri Club. Mcdonnell was shortly followed by Elena Jury in 34:27 and Natalie Long in 35:10. 

Highly rated racing in Marlow

Back over the half marathon distance, in what has been consistently rated one of the UK’s best half marathons was the Marlow Half Marathon. The winning titles for the men’s and women’s races went to Stuart MacDougall in 1:18:08 and Bethan Huntley in 1:27:40.

Over the 7-mile distance at the Marlow 7-mile, Nick buckle took home gold. The Belgrave Harrier runner ran 40:02 to secure a minute lead. The women’s title was claimed by Becky Atkinson of Maidenhead in 45:38. 

New York City Marthon

There are still plenty of runners on the streets of New York and we will update the round-up as the results come in. Geoffrey Kamworor and Joyciline Jepkosgei, both half-marathon world record holders, were victorious on the tough course in 2:08:13 and 2:22:38 respectively.

The post AFD & Leeds City victorious at XC Relays – UK round-up appeared first on Fast Running.

After having to withdraw from this year’s London Marathon due to a hamstring injury the AFD man will look to lay down his 26.2 credentials on the stress of New York.

Vernon could be well suited to the hard undulating course and there will keen interest amongst British distance fans to see how the popular athlete runs in his debut marathon. We know his pedigree at cross country and at 10,000m where his has won a European silver medal and has a PB of 27:42 but he remains an unknown quantity at the marathon.

The chase for times

The New York City Marathon has tended to be less popular in recent years amongst Brits looking for a quick autumn or winter Marathon with Berlin and Chicago offering flatter profiles and longer build up to spring races including the London Marathon.

With the IAAF standard now set at 2:11:30 for men and 2:29:30 for women the most Brits will have their eyes on courses that offer the best chance for quick times for Tokyo next year.

However the dual qualification system also recognises a top 10 finish in a World Marathon Major event (which includes NYC Marathon). 10th placed finisher Chris Derrick ran 2:13:08 in 2018 and in 2017 the 10th place finisher ran 2:14:57. Despite the profile of the course these times are well within Vernon’s ability but regardless of times the race clearly affords the opportunity to build critical experience before London 2020.

A happy hunting ground

History shows this can be a happy hunting ground for British Athletes. Steve Jones’ winning time of 2:08:20 in 1988 and Paula Radcliffe’s wins in 2004, 2007 and 2008 are testiment to that along with victories for priscilla Welch in 1987 and Liz McColgan in 1991.

In 2018 eight British men went inside 2:30 with Jonny Mellor leading the way in 2:16:09 for 15th place. Three British women ran inside three hours with St Albans Strider Gillian Pease (2:55:14) the fastest.

Champions return

Defending champions – Kenya’s Mary Keitany and Ethiopia’s Lelisa Desisa will both return in 2019.
Keitany will go for her fifth career title in New York and Desisa will look to post back-to-back victories.

This year’s TCS New York City Marathon professional athlete field was officially announced by a pair of Rising New York Road Runners Youth Ambassadors, as NYRR marks 20 years of its free youth running programs.

“We’re thrilled to have all four of our defending champions return to the TCS New York City Marathon and lead a world-class professional athlete field through the streets of the five boroughs on November 3rd,” said NYRR president and CEO Michael Capiraso.

Keitany, Diver, Aga and Degefa line up

In 2018, Keitany became the second woman to win in New York in the open division four times, recording the second-fastest time in event history in 2:22:48. It was her fourth win in five years and she’s the only woman other than Grete Waitz to win the race four times.

Keitany is the women-only marathon world record-holder (2:17:01) and is a two-time winner of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, having taken the series titles in 2012 and 2016.

Keitany will be challenged this year by 2019 Boston Marathon champion Worknesh Degefa, 2019 Tokyo Marathon champion Ruti Aga, 2019 United Airlines NYC Half champion Joyceline Jepkosgei, 2018 Boston Marathon champion and two-time U.S. Olympian Des Linden and Australian sensation Sinead Diver. No British or Irish women feature in this year’s elite field.

Kitany said “New York has become a second home to me, and every year I circle the TCS New York City Marathon on my calendar as a date to look forward to. I’m very excited to return on November 3 to race for my fifth New York City Marathon title on my favourite course in the world.”

Desisa, Kitata and Kamworor go head to head again

Desisa won his first TCS New York City Marathon title last year after finishing on the podium three times previously. He held off fellow Ethiopian Shura Kitata by two seconds to finish in 2:05:59, the second-fastest time in event history. Desisa also has two Boston Marathon titles to his name, having won in 2013 and 2015.

Runner-up Kitata will be back again this year to challenge Desisa, as will 2017 TCS New York City Marathon champion Geoffrey Kamworor, who finished third last year.

“After finishing second and third before, I finally won my first TCS New York City Marathon title last year and it was one of my proudest moments in my life” said Desisa at the elite field press conference “I had been waiting for that day to come for some time. I’m looking forward to defending my title this November and lining up against Shura Kitata”

The post Andy Vernon set for debut marathon in New York appeared first on Fast Running.

No matter what happens on Sunday morning (November 4), Shalane Flanagan knows it can’t possibly top last year.

At 37 years of age, the American athlete knows her chances of retaining the title at the New York City Marathon rank somewhere between improbable and impossible.

And yet, she’s back, resisting the allure of retirement for one last battle against the world’s best. But why? After summiting the Everest of distance-running last year, why not take your chips and run from the table, doing what so few other elite sportspeople have managed – go out on top?

Truth is, she thought long and hard about it.

“When I crossed the finish line I was unsure about my running future,” says Flanagan. “I’d accomplished a lifelong dream and I thought, ‘what can top this?’ But I wanted to give my hometown marathon, Boston, one more go.

“I felt physically and mentally that I’d still have what it took to compete at the highest level.”

Those best laid plans went awry, however, as Flanagan shivered her way to the finish on a cold, wet and windy day in Boston last April where she finished sixth in 2:46:31.

“I wasn’t able to execute the race I’m capable of,” she reflects. “It’s like studying for a test and you think you’re taking a history exam but then you get a math exam. It wasn’t a good representation of my ability.”

No, she thought, that’s not how it should end.

New York or not

In the months after Flanagan faced a conundrum, a question of whether she truly had the desire to come back for one last hurrah in New York.

In May she sat down with one of the race organisers who told her they’d love to have her back, but she said she needed more time.

“I didn’t know if my heart and mind had had enough because I’d poured absolutely everything I had into Boston,” she says. “I had to ask myself if I was really willing to do the work it takes to compete at the highest level.

“I’ve had a really consistent career and I don’t want the final races of my career to be on a downward level.”

But after spending time in Europe over the summer, where she paced her teammate Shelby Houlihan to an American record over 5000m, the fire slowly came back.

The 37 year-old says affectionally: “I said, ‘you know what? Maybe I have this. Maybe I still have the passion and drive and enthusiasm.’

“I know it’s going to be so hard to top last year but there’s something to be said for coming and doing what I love. It doesn’t mean I have to break the finish line first for it to be a success.”

And so she finds herself here, back in the Big Apple, the title of defending champion preceding her name every time it’s announced.

“It sounds really nice to hear that because I’ve never had that in my entire career,” she says.

Her life has changed in many ways since last year’s race. Flanagan made countless appearances on national TV, felt the occasionally suffocating weight of media requests and even appeared in a Super Bowl advertisement in February, a benchmark of a sport star’s fame in US society.

“That was kind of epic,” she says with a laugh. “You work hard and put yourself in a position to have success and then doors open, but I’ve been very careful about what I say yes to.”

Eventually, the spotlight had to be shunned – after all the marathon requires an all-enveloping commitment, at least at the dizzying altitudes of human performance which Flanagan inhabits.

She started specific preparations in late August during a trip to the Big Apple to promote the New York Road Runners’ Run for the Future programme, and while there Flanagan was brought to tears by the news that her latest book, ‘Cook Fast, Eat Slow,’ had become a New York Times bestseller.

Twice a day she went to Central Park, envisioning the first Sunday in November as she ran over the park’s rolling hills, which comprise the final miles of the race.

After that, she went to altitude in Mammoth Lakes, California, training with Chris Derrick, a teammate at the Bowerman Track Club. Then Flanagan relocated to Park City, Utah, for the final month of training before New York.

So how does her form compare to last year?

“Fitness is a little hard to assess because I stayed at altitude for the full preparation unlike last year, but I did two key long runs that were really good at 4800 feet,” she explains. “Sometimes I think it’s good not to be comparing, but Jerry is super-happy and I think it’s a good thing.”

By that, she’s referring to Jerry Schumacher, the coach who has guided Flanagan’s career for the past 10 years, ever since he left his job at the University of Wisconsin to work in the professional ranks.

He has since turned athletes like Flanagan, Evan Jager, Amy Cragg, Shelby Houlihan and many more from very good athletes into great ones, as well as currently working with Gwen Jorgensen in her transition from Olympic triathlon gold medalist into a marathon athlete.

“I think of Jerry as my benevolent dictator,” says Flanagan with a laugh. “The most important aspect about him is that he cares. Every coaching decision he makes might not be agreeable to everyone but he’s always making decisions to put me in the best possible position to fulfil my goals.

“He’s a great leader, which comes from his background in being a collegiate coach, and every year he has progressed. As athletes we get better every year then eventually decline, but Jerry is continuously getting better as a coach so I feel really fortunate to work with him.”

At the Bowerman Track Club in Portland, Flanagan also has one of the strongest training groups in the world, with a cache of world-class women working together each day, something that has helped her stay in the sport as she reaches the autumn of her career.

“I really enjoy running with people – it’s a lot easier to run a 20-miler when you have a best friend and someone to talk to,” she says. “I’ve been afraid to retire because I’m going to miss that.”

Life beyond racing, but first New York

However, Flanagan has no plans to step away from the sport once she stops racing, with plans already in place to work in a mentorship and coaching role at the Bowerman Track Club.

In New York this weekend she will take on a field of intimidating quality, with three-time champion Mary Keitany, London Marathon champion Vivian Cheruiyot and Boston Marathon champion Desi Linden all in opposition.

But this is exactly what Flanagan wants.

“I get excited by seeing exceptionally challenging fields,” she says. “It makes me excited to do the training. I’ve never beaten Vivian and I’ve run against her countless times, so the possibility of beating her excites me. She’s incredible.”

But when she reaches the finish line on Sunday, will that be it for one of the great careers in American distance running?

“I have no idea,” admits Flanagan. “Which is really rare for an athlete not to know, because we’re all so calculated and type-A in planning our futures.”

One thing she does know: the pressure is off. Unlike in the past, Flanagan will run with little to prove – to herself or anyone else.

“It feels like I’m more at peace and have a sense of freedom,” she says. “There’s a sense of calm to this approach and not this sense of desperation that I had in the past.”

As the first American woman to win the New York Marathon for 40 years, Flanagan helped imbue her countrywomen with a new sense of belief ahead of this year’s race, something she can’t help notice.

“Success breeds success,” she says. “There’s this enthusiasm that I’ve never seen and this willingness to crush themselves. We have a swagger that we’re bringing to this race.”

If indeed this is her final race, there would be no more appropriate setting to bow out than New York, the concrete jungle where last year, her dreams were made.

Flanagan will toe the line as defending champion, though still a huge underdog – and that’s just fine with her.
