Up and Running

By Latest NewsNo Comments

Tash Smith always wanted to complete the Virgin Money London Marathon before she was 30.  But overweight and by her own admission, often breathless tackling a few flights of stairs, completing 26 miles 385 yards seemed an unattainable target.
Then thanks to the arrival of the JCP Swansea Half Marathon in her home city in 2014, Tash had what she calls her ‘Eureka’ moment.  So much so she has transformed herself from a reluctant jogger, with low esteem to an enthusiastic, self confident 29-year-old poised to tackle one of the world’s famous long distance races.
She has also landed a dream job to go with her new found enthusiasm for running.  And she is adamant there are more people like her who can transform their own lives with will power and determination.

“If you believe in yourself you can do it,” says Tash who completed 16 races in 2015, raising thousands of pounds for Maggie’s Cancer Centres.

“I have lost two and a half stones since I started running.  My body shape has changed significantly.

“Before, I would run up stairs and get out of breath because I was overweight.  That doesn’t happen now.

“I find myself wanting to go out for a run whereas in the past I would have had to push myself out of the door.

“I am addicted to running.” laughs Tash, now working with JCP Swansea Half Marathon Race Directors, David Martin-Jewell and Nick Francis as a marketing and administration assistant.

“To have this job is amazing and something I never thought I would be doing a few years back.”

Prior to her half marathon bow at Swansea in 2014, Tash’s running experience was restricted to the occasional Race for Life. “I would just turn up and run.” she confesses.

“I didn’t train as well as I should have done and just winged it after looking up a lot of stuff online.

“But when I heard the Swansea Half was taking place I started to take running more seriously.”

Tash completed Swansea and Cardiff Half’s in 2014, raising money for the Ty Olwen Hospice at Morriston Hospital and Mind.  Crossing the line in Swansea in front of family and friends she shed a tear of happiness at accomplishing her life breakthrough.

Spurred on, Tash set her new goals for 2015, raising her fitness levels as her weekly mileage increased.

A new PB of 2hrs 29mins was established at the Great Welsh Half, Maggie’s Swansea benefited to the sun of £1,600 and she’d raced most distances from 5K to 13 miles before expanding her horizons in November 2015.  She joined the Run 4All club in Neath and believes others can benefit from similar decisions.

“I was a little scared of joining a running club.  I thought it would be very serious and people would be too fast for me.  I can get the mileage done but I am not a fast runner.

“However, it doesn’t matter if you have never run before or you do ultra marathons.

“There is a group for everyone and they are all very helpful.  I would certainly advise joining a running club.  It gives you that extra bit of support and extra bit of push.”

GB international Dei Griffiths and Emma Wookey of Lliswerry Runners were recently named as inaugural ambassadors for the JCP Swansea Half Marathon.  As part of their role they have published training tips which can be viewed on the race’s website to help runners prepare for the race on June 26.

Now she’s part of the organising team Tash won’t be on the start line in 2016.  However, she’s got ideas of her own to prepare.

“You have got to get out there and put the miles in your legs.” she explained.  That doesn’t necessarily mean going out for 15-20 mile runs every week.

“You might only want to do a 5 or 10K.  But if you haven’t got the training mileage in, you will struggle on race day.  When I first started a lot of people knocked my confidence.  And there will be people who doubt you can do the distances and races.

“That can make it harder to get out of the door and do the training.  But you can use the negative comments to motivate you and that’s what I did.  Someone was quite rude about my training and that I wouldn’t be able to do all the half marathons I wanted to do.  It did knock my confidence.

“But I started working with a personal trainer last year.  And she said ‘if you find mile 10 tough in your half marathon, just think about that person who said you couldn’t do it and that will push you onto the next mile.'”

Tash, 30 in July, will use her new found mental toughness to conquer any last minute nerves about making her marathon debut.

“I’m sure I’ll have the same felling as I did before my first half marathon.” she adds.

“It is the feeling of the unknown.  But if I think of it as just two in a row, I’m sure I will be fine.  I was never as glad to see a finishing line as I was after the first Swansea Half.  I reckon that might change when I see the finish in London.”

World at their feet – As Race Bids For INTERNATIONAL Recognition

By Latest NewsNo Comments

Ambitious plans for the JCP Swansea Half Marathon could see the rapidly growing race upgraded to international status by 2017.

A third staging of Wales’ second biggest half marathon takes place on June 26, 2016 with organisers anticipating a record field of 8,000 runners, attracted by a scenic, flat course and promise of fast times.  And a first ever five figure entry list will be the goal should future negotiations with athletics’ world governing body, the International Association of Athletics’ Federation, prove successful.

David Martin-Jewell, who shares directorship with Nick Francis, confirmed: “Our goal is to see the JCP Swansea Half Marathon become an IAAF accredited race.  We are aiming to reach bronze level and are putting every effort into achieving it. We are laying foundations in preparation and implementing procedures to help attain this world-renowned status.

“Should we achieve accreditation then there is no reason why the race won’t grow and grow. We have identified what the requirements are and we are working through them.  Obviously, we need everything to fall into place in 2016, but there is nothing to say it couldn’t happen for 2017. We believe that it is a realistic target for us, but it is out of our hands in terms of time scale once we have submitted our application.”

Francis adds: “From a runners’ perspective, we want to develop a race that is value for money, one they enjoy and makes them want to come back year after year.  The course is sensational; you run along a six-mile stretch of Swansea Bay. Everyone mentions the views with some even comparing it to the most scenic race destinations across the World. We want to give the runners the best experience possible.

“By achieving IAAF accreditation it would mean the race becomes better, not only for the guys at the front but for everybody that lines up on the start line.”

As part of the IAAF bid, the JCP Swansea Half Marathon is now affiliated to the Association of International Marathons and Distance races.  Both Martin-Jewell and Francis also recognise an IAAF standard means securing a top class field to go with its elite status.

“We are looking to work with a third party to help sign up some elite runners if necessary,” says Martin-Jewell.

“If the growth for the elite field comes from the UK and Europe we would be satisfied with that, but we also have to keep one eye on the IAAF requirements.  However, our goal is to have at least four internationally recognised runners that could come from any of the home nations, Europe, or further afield, providing they fulfil the IAAF criteria is what’s important. Obtaining IAAF accreditation will help us achieve our goal for our race which is at the top of our agenda.”

Such a move would be a welcome challenge for Welsh runners. Matthew Wells of Bridgend AC clocked 1 hr 14 mins 38 seconds to win the inaugural JCP Swansea Half in 2014. Last June, Dewi Griffiths of Team GB and Swansea Harriers smashed Wells’ course record with a time of 1:06:48 while Lliswerry Runners’ Emma Wookey took the women’s prize in 1:17.51.

They were part of a sell-out, 5,000 strong field made up from 25 countries. A wheelchair race was incorporated for the first time in 2015 while 2016 will see the introduction of two waves of runners to help cope with the extra demand for places.

The JCP Swansea Half Marathon takes place on Sunday 26th June 2016 on fully closed roads and is quickly becoming a firm favourite amongst the running community. The flat fast course is perfect for beginners, first time half marathon runners and charity runners, whilst attracting a large elite field from Wales and beyond to #RunSwansea.

The race is also a finalist at The Running Awards for the second year in a row.

Starting and finishing in the city centre, the route takes runners along Swansea Bay to The Mumbles and back, featuring six miles of stunning coastline, beautiful views and fantastic crowd support.  A total of 8,000 public and charity places are available for 2016 and entry is open now.

How to keep on training during Winter – Top tips from our Race Ambassadors

By Latest NewsNo Comments

Dewi Griffiths and Emma Wookey proved two of Wales’ top long distance athletes during the past 12 months but neither will be resting on their laurels in 2016.

The New Year brings fresh challenges for both including the defence of their respective titles at the JCP Swansea Half Marathon title on June 26 when they will be part of a record 8,000 strong field.  Before then, however, lies a few months of hard racing and training for the recently appointed Swansea Half Marathon race ambassadors.

As part of their wide-ranging ambassadorial roles Swansea Harrier Griffiths and Wookey of Lliswerry Runners have teamed up to offer expert tips and advice for runners of all abilities to maximise the benefit and enjoyment of winter training routines.

Dewi GriffithsGriffiths, a 24-year-old Great Britain international, starts with a sensible suggestion for the seasonal conditions.

1) Be Seen

Winter months bring lots of cold and wet evenings with low visibility at times. So, make sure you can be seen. There are plenty of reflective running jackets on the market which could be the difference between being seen or getting seriously hurt.

2) Join a club or group

Many people believe they aren’t good enough to join a running group or club but it couldn’t be further from the truth. There is a perfect group out there for everyone; from beginner to elite with similar level runners to yourself.

The key is finding one that suits you. Joining a group will provide company on those long runs or tougher sessions. But it will also give you the chance to talk to more experienced runners for advice for further improvement as well as taking you out of your comfort zone.  Even though the session I do as part of a group with my coach is the hardest part of my week, it is also the part I look forward to most.

3) Run free

Training runs should be done on feel. I don’t need a watch to tell me I’m running well or I’m running tired and slow. I can tell that from the way I’m feeling. Every runner has a loop of their own, which they probably know to the 100th of a mile how long it is. Mine is a five-mile loop. Try running the loop with just a stop watch. Or even without a watch at all.

What difference does it make if you don’t know exactly how long it took? This will teach you to listen to your body (sometimes you need to take things easy) rather than you racing yourself from a previous day because your watch isn’t saying you’re going quick enough.

Alternatively, if your normal run of six miles takes 45 minutes, try a 45 minutes run on a route you don’t know how far it is. This will help prevent mental fatigue. A change is as good as a rest they say!

4) Race Regularly

Many people don’t race enough. Training teaches you to run within your limits but racing teaches you to explore the limits. There are plenty of races on most weekends. Plan a few more as part of your training and development and as a warm up for your goal race. Racing is more fun than just slogging it out on your own anyway.

5) Have fun and mix things up 

Elite runners don’t do the same thing every day of every week, so why should everyone else? Try something new this winter.

A complete training schedule will include a balance and variety of short reps sessions, long reps sessions, speed endurance reps / hill reps. threshold / tempo runs, long runs, medium runs and short runs.  Every two to four weeks try and tick all the boxes. You wouldn’t turn up to a race without your racing trainers so don’t neglect your training, and give you the best chance of a personal best.

Emma Wookey

Wookey, like Griffiths, training for the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Cardiff on March 26, confirms the importance of being a bright spark until the longer, lighter days start to arrive. So, her first tip is:

1) Hi vis should form an essential part of any runner’s wardrobe. Whether you’re rocking a day-glo tee or a fluorescent jacket, make sure you wear something bright so you stay safe when running.

2) Buddy-up

Running with others not only helps with safety on dark evenings but can also be great motivation. Try and find someone of a similar pace/ speed and even better – join a local running club.

3) Mix It Up

Try to incorporate different running workouts to keep your training varied. Hill reps and fartlek sessions are a great way to work different muscles and incorporate some speed work while also keeping your training fun.

4) Cross Train

If you can’t get out with bad weather or other commitments then don’t let it hold you back. Core strength is essential to running and doing strength work and stretching works wonders for recovery.

5) Finally, hydrate.

Although it gets a lot colder this time of year, you still need to take on fluids to replace the water lost through perspiration. If you’re planning a long run take a small bottle with you or have one close by for when you finish the session.

So, 10 essential tips in total from the 2015 King and Queen of the JCP Swansea Half Marathon. Draw on their knowledge and experience and a personal best or long cherished target may not be far away in the coming months.

The JCP Swansea Half Marathon 2016 takes place on Sunday 26th June 2016 and is quickly becoming a firm favourite amongst the running community. The flat fast course is perfect for beginners, first time half marathon runners and charity runners, whilst attracting a large elite field from Wales and beyond to #RunSwansea.

Starting and finishing in the city centre, the route takes runners along Swansea Bay to The Mumbles and back, featuring six miles of stunning coastline, beautiful views and fantastic crowd support.  A total of 8,000 places are available for 2016 and entry is open now.

GRIFFITHS & WOOKEY ‘Honoured’ With Ambassador Accolades

By Latest NewsNo Comments

Dewi Griffiths and Emma Wookey, men’s and women’s title winners at the 2015 JCP Swansea Half Marathon, are celebrating again after receiving New Year’s honours.

Swansea Harrier Griffiths, 24, and 22-year-old Wookey of Lliswerry Runners have accepted invitations from Race Directors, David Martin-Jewell and Nick Francis, to become the rapidly growing event’s inaugural race ambassadors.

Both are now even more determined to defend their respective crowns when the third staging of the scenic, fast and flat JCP Swansea Half Marathon takes place on June 26, 2016.

And the long distance stars are keen to help grow the race – already the second largest 13.1 miler in Wales – which will attract a record extending 8,000 field this summer.

Dewi Griffiths and Emma Wookey with the JCP Swansea Half Marathon directors

“I am really happy to be offered the job,” confirmed Rio 2016 Olympic hopeful Griffiths, keen to improve on last year’s record winning time of 66 minutes 48 seconds.

“I am proud to run for Swansea Harriers and I am proud of my roots in West Wales.  It is great to be able to give something back to the sport and the area. If I can help inspire the next generation from the club or West Wales then that’s what I am hoping to do, “ explained the former Carmarthen Harrier.

“There was always going to be pressure because I am defending champion and the one everyone wants to beat.  But whether I was an ambassador or not, I would want to go out and run to a good standard and hopefully be good enough to win again.  I definitely think there are a couple more minutes to come off. I ran well last year but I think I could have ran even better.

“If there is good competition then I am sure that will push me on to go faster again,” added Griffiths, who represented Great Britain at the World and European Cross Country Championships in 2015, helping win a team bronze at last month’s latter event in Hyeres, France.

Wookey has also enjoyed a successful last 12 months. She added the Newport and Severn Bridge Half Marathon titles to her maiden Swansea success in 67 minutes 51 seconds (14th overall) and also finished second female on her marathon debut in Bristol.

She and Griffiths will compete at the IAAF World Half Marathon Championships in Cardiff in March. But Wookey is just as excited by the prospect of racing again in Swansea three months later.

“It’s a great time of year for an event like Swansea because there aren’t many half marathons around that time. It appeals to so many people and I find it really rewarding to see others achieve their goals at events like that.

  I feel absolutely honoured to become an ambassador. David and Nick have been incredibly generous. I really want to help and get others involved in what I know will be a fantastic event once again.”

“I’m not a full time athlete and work every day,” explained Wookey “I am just like everyone else.

  So, I want to show the JCP Swansea Half Marathon can appeal to everyone: from club runners looking for fast times, to charity fundraisers and first timers too.

  It’s got something for everyone and I think that no matter what your goal, it’s the perfect event for it.



“There will be a little more pressure to defend my title now I am an ambassador though I try not to put too much pressure on myself.

  However, there are some cracking female athletes in Wales and I always know I will be in for a good race when I see them on the start line.”



Race Director David Martin-Jewell commented:

“We are delighted to be working with such a high calibre athlete as Dewi Griffiths and we see massive potential with Emma Wookey making huge strides in the UK Running scene. We are looking forward to working with both athletes closely and we are very proud for them both to be JCP Swansea Half Marathon ambassadors”.

The JCP Swansea Half Marathon takes place on Sunday 26th June 2016 on fully closed roads and is quickly becoming a firm favourite amongst the running community.
