Vale Martin Thompson
Martin Thompson: Harriers founding member, coach and motivator, club
administrator, life member, international athlete, teacher, sports scientist.
Martin Thompson’s recent passing (3 April) means the loss of one of the most
influential figures in the club’s history.
Martin inspired and motivated many. In the early days he turned local
runners into junior Victorian champions, and inspired many others to achieve
outstanding running results.
He served many years in club administration roles where his innovative ideas
and sound judgment helped in early club building.
In the 1970’s Martin spent several years in England where he studied and
trained, running over 100 marathon and ultramarathon events. He was
particularly successful in the ultramarathon events with many top placings and
several Australian records. His wife Linda also competed successfully in many
of these events.
On their return in 1979, Martin and Linda had joint wins in the Traralgon
Marathon.
They left Traralgon for Sydney some 30 years ago for Martin to take up a
university teaching and research position. Despite his Sydney commitments, he
maintained local connections and a continuing interest in the club’s progress.
Martin’s legacy to the club can still be seen. In the club’s early years the
stringent requirements of amateurism meant strict oversights on every club’s
rules and activities. Martin thought that democracy, with decisions entirely in
the hands of members, was more important. He devised club by-laws as a
means to enable greater club autonomy and member democracy.
In the mid-1970s another of Martin’s ideas was to implement mid-week runs
which, under the prevailing rules, were not strictly legal. They were an
immediate success. Martin had sensed a turning tide in the emergence of fun
running, with its wide popular appeal, suddenly outstripping interest in track
events.
In Sydney, Martin’s contribution to the wider running world was orientated
towards practical applications. For example, he used techniques for enhanced
treadmill training with runners he coached. Two of them won national
championships.
A major area of Martin’s experimental studies was into exercise in hot and
humidity conditions. His expertise was called on to assist Olympic squads with
their event preparation and heat acclimatisation programs.

Vale Martin Thompson Continued:
In recent years Martin had had a number of overseas trips where his
technical knowledge on training principles and advice on sports programs had
been sought.
Perhaps Martin’s life approach is best summed up by a sticker he once had on
his car: “Jog a bit. It keeps you fit.”
Our sympathies go to Martin’s family, particularly his wife Linda, brother
Leigh and sister Dale, all of them runners and contributors in the early years
of our club.
Thanks to Geoff Duffell for this contribution
A Large Number of Traralgon Harriers conquer Duncan’s
Run Hundred events
Duncan’s tragic death was certainly a shock to us all but the event that has
taking on his name has certainly helped heal the pain. This event has the
location, the atmosphere, the physical challenges and the rugged beauty to be
something really special. If the word ever gets out amongst the Ultra
Marathon Trail running fraternity look out. I have been fortunate enough to
complete two Duncan Run Hundred 100km, something I never thought I would
ever do 10 years ago. I did the first one because I felt I needed to not
because I wanted to. When I finished I said that is it never again. A day later
like everything I race I thought I could go back and do better. This year I
went into the race with many fears and self-doubts. Words cannot express
how I feel at the moment. To have conquered all my fears and then go on and
enjoy such a wonderful experience has left me in a total state of euphoria. I
think I will be in this state for a very long time and I will not hesitate if I ever
get the chance to do it again.
6km event:
Daniel Broadbridge from Wellington Athletic Club was first runner across
the line in 39:23 in a field of 27. Kym Renooy from the Sale Road Runners was

Duncan Run Hundred 2016
Remembering Duncan in the perfect way
Pictured left me and
Bryan Cake (2)
representing the
Traralgon Harriers
before the start of
the Duncan Run
Hundred 100km
I haven’t caught up with
Cakey yet but when I do
I am sure we will have a
lot to talk about. I will
try and get a story from
him.
The great Emil Zatopek
once said
"If you want to run,
run a mile. If you want
to experience a
different life, run a
marathon.
I wonder what he would have said if he experienced something like the Duncan
Run Hundred 100km. The longer and more challenging an event is the more of
an adventure it becomes. They can make a day feel like a month so much goes
on, so much to remember. I can understand why the likes of Robbie, Kathryn
and Kev keep doing their adventure races it is taking what I experienced to
another level. The same can be said about Half Ironman and Full Ironman they
stay with your forever. Anyhow so much went on through my head before;
during and after, here is some of what went into conquering the 100km.
6
Remembering Duncan in the perfect way continued:
The week leading up to the Duncan Run Hundred 100km was full of the
usual self-doubts and the more I thought about it the more I convinced myself
that this was going to be an impossible task. My unconventional Marathon
training program of training more like a track runner than a Marathon runner
had served me well doing Marathons but was it going to stack up to doing a
100km event. It was no ordinary 100km event either just one of the toughest
going around.
The timing of the event was so different to the last time I did it in 2014.
Running the event in December meant I was coming of the back of 8 months of
endurance racing that included 6 Marathon/Ultras, 2 Half Marathons, the A.V.
winter XCR season, Four Peaks and a multitude of other endurance events. My
race preparation leading into this year’s 100km was all track apart from the
recent Six Foot Track Marathon and R4TK 16km but they were far too recent
to be of any help. In fact I was still struggling with the fatigue from these
two events right up to race day. So my preparation leading into the 100km the
last 4 months was 2 x 25km training runs and plenty of short track races. The
rest was just my base training days which varied from 6 – 10km continual
running plus 1 -3 km of drills and run throughs. I know I have built up a great
faith in middle distance track races. I believe they are the ultimate events for
building great endurance and great strength. Still it was hard convincing
myself that they would get me through a tough 100km especially with only 3
weeks recovery after the Six Foot Track Marathon.
My other concern was since straining the back of my left knee six weeks
ago I have really struggled with getting my gait right. The knee has healed but
the time spent running with a stiff knee had played havoc with my foot strike.
It is the main reason why my legs got so smashed up doing the 6 foot track
Marathon. The 100km course is just as challenging and unforgiving as the 6
foot track Marathon course so I came to the conclusion it would take a miracle
to complete the 100km event this year. I was so concerned about my gait that
I ran everyday leading up to the 100km working on my technique trying to get
it right. Normally I would take a couple of days of and rest before such a big
event but I had given up all hope of completing it.
Remembering Duncan and all his legacies: Running the first 12km of the
100km brought back all the memories of the last time I did this race. I had
run this leg with Darrel and Liz and we had chatted all the time about Duncan.
7
It set up a great vibe about why I was doing this event and gave me the
determination to finish it. This year I was on my own but I soon realised why I
was here. The fact Darrel wasn’t there made me also realise how lucky I was
to be actually doing this race again. Also the event is not about me or whether
I complete it. It is all about remembering Duncan and all his legacies. Duncan
would have been all over an event like this. He would not have worried about
the consequences of not having done enough preparation. He was not one to let
his fears stand in the way of having the opportunity for adventure and
excitement. He would just sign up and have a crack and if the wheels fell of so
be it he never really worried about the end result.
I also thought about Anna, Travis, Giddo, Helen and all the other hard
working organisers. They had done all the hard work my job was easy. All I had
to do was run. This is the only way I could reward them for all their hard work
and that was to do this race and enjoy it.
Something else happened in that first 12km that changed my whole
demeanour. While running down one of those nice tracks surrounded by
nothing else but bush, peace and tranquillity I noticed my gait was back. It was
so good to feel light on my feet again after 6 weeks of struggling to get my
feet of the ground. This was another one of Duncan’s legacies. He was a big
one on technique. Inspired by the book “Born to Run“ running trails and crosscountry to help improve and maintain good running form was one of his
passions. That is why he enjoyed coming out to Balook and running on these
trails so much. Simply you cannot run on rough trails flat footed. You got to be
balanced and light on your feet otherwise you just keep tripping over and
getting tangled up with all the obstacles underneath your feet. They force you
to lift your feet of the ground and engage every muscle in your upper body to
stay well balanced and upright. This is the way we were “Born to Run” not
learning to shuffle flat footed along hard surfaces like bitumen and concrete.
The thought crossed my mind that maybe Duncan was looking after me. I
started feeling on top of the world and I was going to have a fair dinkum crack
at this race and enjoy every minute of it in memory of Duncan. If the wheels
fall of so be it.
I am not going to say it was easy and sometimes it got really tough but it was
enjoyable conquering each physical and mental challenge the day presented.
The many high and lows you experience trying to keep your legs turning over
are all part of this type of event.
8
What I wasn’t prepared for was running on the trails in the dark. It was a
new experience for me and it exposed me to another challenge. A challenge
that only experience can help make you do it better the next time.
At about the 95km mark I ran the fastest 20 metre sprint ever recorded in
the Duncan Run Hundred 100km. In the dark while running down a nice piece of
trail at a reasonable pace I tripped on a large rock sticking up out of the road.
It sent me tumbling and the only way to stop myself smashing my face flat into
the ground was to go with the momentum until I gained my balance again. It
shook me up but the only damage done was a smashed toenail.
At about the 96km mark with still 7km to go (The race is really 103km) I
began to find running too hard in the dark and I was really beginning to feel
the fatigue. I decided to walk a bit and although I couldn’t really tell where I
was I knew there was a steep climb coming up and I would be walking that
anyhow. When I reached the top of that climb there would be only 3km to go
and most of that is runnable.
With my watch showing the time being 8:30 P.M. (My Garmin stopped at 9
hours) there was still plenty of time to run under 15 hours. The longer I
walked the harder it became to get running again so in the end I walked most
of the last 7km and it took me a lot longer than I thought. Still I had a great
day and I remembered Duncan in the best possible way doing his run his way.
There is a lot more I could write about that made the day an everlasting
memory. There is the overwhelming support I got from all my great running
friends who were there and came to my aid when I was in transition. It
absolutely blew me away. Then there is the companionship of all the other
runners out on the course especially on the 50km loop.
More importantly I need to thank Anna, Travis, Giddo and Helen and all the
other organisers for their hard work in putting such a challenging event
together. Also for giving me the number one race bib, it will be framed and
hung up on the wall too valuable to be thrown out. To all the volunteers for
standing out in the cold for long hours looking after all our runner needs. To
Megan Harper for popping up in so many places just to take pictures of us all.
Last but not least my wife Denise for getting up at 4:40 A.M. to drive me
out to the start. She then did the 6km walk to remember Duncan a challenge in
itself 9 months into a full knee replacement. Drive Mel back down the
mountain and returned later that night to pick me up.

TRARALGON HARRIER’S RACE REPORT 31/3/2016
CHOOK HILL 6KM HANDICAP
After languishing in the top ten finishers for many weeks, Peter Grixti has
finally clinched a win in the Harriers’ Thursday evening handicap race. On this
occasion it was last Thursday’s Chook Hill 6km race held in the pine plantations
just north of Morwell. Although not a quick runner, Peter, now in his sixties,
displays tenacity coupled with the benefits of his determination to stick to his
revamped post-Christmas 2015 health and fitness plan. His finishing time was
37 minutes and 55 seconds.
Georgia Pearson took out second place in 37:59 followed by Chris Vallak in a
net time of 28:09.
Some of the other results that stand out are: Mark Van Der Muellen’s
consistently strong form, 26:32; ex-footballer Rob Semmler’s return to the
Harriers in a very competitive 25:19; Darrel Cross’ 25:51 despite a persistent
knee injury and Michelle Sawyer’s posting of the fastest outright time
amongst the females, 29:42.
Second and third fastest females on net times were: Georgia Calloway 32:22

Thumbs up for Hoka runners
I brought a pair of Hoka Clifton 2 to try out some 5 months ago when Aaron
first stocked them. I picked the Hoka Clifton 2 because it was a minimal shoe
with a 5mm heel drop. Most of the shoes I had been running in were saucony
kinvara for training and saucony fastwitch for racing. So when I first put
them on they felt like big boats. Still they gave a good ride while training, felt
light and were well cushioned. I concluded they were a minimal shoe with
cushioning something that was usually foregone in a minimal shoe.
12
Thumbs up for Hoka runners continued:
I had also noticed that they did improve my efficiency something that only
someone who trained in the same heart rate zone would notice immediately. I
concluded that they are a very good shoe for runners who are a bit flat footed
as they tend to help you roll forwarded onto your forefoot improving your
stride efficiency.
When choosing a shoe to run Duncan Run Hundred 100km in I had no
hesitation in choosing my Hoka’s. They were light enough. The extra cushioning
would be a bonus over such a long distance and also for the many rough, rocky
surfaces I would be encountering. The other deciding factor was I was having
trouble with my gait so the added improve performance from wearing my
Hoka’s was certainly going to help over 100km. In 2014 when I did Duncan Run
Hundred 100km I wore a pair of Saucony Kinvara and after the run the uppers
were totally shredded from getting caught up with sticks and bushes along the
tough trails. I suspected my Hoka’s to be in the same condition after this
year’s event.
As well as giving me a great ride for the 100km they are certainly well made
and have a strong upper as they came through with hardly a mark on them. I
will certainly be making the complete transition to Hoka’s now.
