Tim Hutchings Tells Us Why There’s Much to Look Forward to in Athletics in 2017.
1 The IAAF World Championships are heading to London this summer and the 2012 Olympic effect will be in full evidence. If you’ve not booked tickets yet, then don’t delay. In fact, do everything you can to secure some sensibly-priced tickets and join the party – I guarantee it’ll be worth it. The stadium is slightly reduced in size from its Olympic format, but it still has a magical atmosphere and it’ll be absolutely rocking for this coming August’s championships.
2 Something is going on in British middle and long distance running that is incredibly special and for some reason, it’s being led by an astonishing Scottish trio:
a) Laura Muir fronts the charge with her awe-inspiring European indoor record over 3000m in Karlsruhe last Saturday night. Her 8:26.41 clocking not only defeated one of the very best Kenyans in Hellen Obiri (a former world indoor champion), but makes the veterinary student from Dundee Hawkhill Harriers the fifth fastest performer ever indoors.
b) Callum Hawkins has just run a legal 60:00 Scottish record at the Marugame Half Marathon in Japan, making him No.2 Brit all-time and No.4 European (with two above him what you’d call “well dodgy”). I love Callum’s style of racing – there’s something of the Steve Jones about him, a point-and press type racer who just oozes guts and determination. We can now forget his 60:24 “non-record” in Glasgow on October 2.

Carbon Footprint
You'd have had to have been running on a different planet to miss all the recent debate about carbon-plated shoes. The talk of bans and performance enhancement has been so widespread that even non-runners are asking their running friends about the potentially magical footwear.
Trail time
WHEN looking for a trail or off-road running shoe, itâs often all about the grip. However, given that no two paths are the same, careful consideration is required. Whatâs the terrain like where youâll wear the shoes the most? If youâll be negotiating soft, wet and muddy conditions then look for deeper lugs. For tackling gravel tracks and forest trails then more evenly spaced lugs will work better. When it comes to cushioning, consider how hard the ground will be; if itâs soft then youâll be fine in low-profile shoes, but on those firmer tracks reasonable cushioning will be called for.
Stay neutral
EVOLVING every year, if not month, neutral cushioned shoes are seeing developments in cushioning materials and dynamics at a pace which is nothing short of astonishing. The latest models feature new polymers in the midsoles to give them a cushioned feel while at the same time keeping their weight to a minimum. Give them a spin and choose the most comfortable for mile after mile of shock absorbing running.
Support network
WHEN it comes to âover-pronationâ, a common question is âhow much is over?â. With no hard and fast rules, itâs best to choose a shoe that instinctively feels right. Gait analysis can often assist in helping you make this choice and your specialist running store is always a good place to start if in doubt. To help you make that choice, hereâs a selection of some of the best âsupportâ shoes around.
Need for speed
THE racing shoe segment of the market is becoming somewhat split. This is partially due to the rise of carbon-plated footwear but also the fact that many shoes are becoming much lighter. Here we take a look at some of the leading contenders to toe the line in.
Gadget show
WITH technological products to enhance every area of life, running is now no different. From headphones to treadmills, the devices to aid performance and recovery are endless. Here we take a look at some of the latest gadgets and gizmos to enhance your training.
