Tom Bedford 2h24m Marathon!



Tommy did it!
He ran the Dublin Marathon in 2h24m09s! A remarkable achievement from where he set out and I take my hat off to him for the dedication he put into achieving his goal and for putting some money into a good cause along the way (as well as paying off his student debts!)
To summarize his goal this is direct from his blog;

3 years to run below 2 hours 25 minutes for a marathon or I have to pay out £12,000 in bets!

The rules: I have as many attempts within this period to complete the set time. There are no out clauses I.e. If i get injured the bet will still stand. The marathon has to be a certified iaaf marathon (no downhill marathons). Completion date is 13th April 2011.

To put the time into perspective I have to run 5 min 30 secs for every mile of the marathon. If I ran that time at the Beijing Olympics I would have finished at least 52nd Place!

How did the bet come about?

Yes you guessed it. I was in a pub so I have nothing to blame but myself!

On top of the actual bet I am going to raise mon ey for the Entoto Foundation http://www.entoto.org/which is dedicated to helping Ethiopians gain access to medical care and treatment that is otherwise not available to them.

I am not taking personal bets anymore but I would like you to get involved by sponsoring me on this website!

There are some spectacular photos of Tom finishing the race in Dublin! Great crowd reaction and great personal satisfaction in just doing it!

Tear to Medial Meniscus

I saw the consultant today who diagnosed a probable tear to the medial meniscus by the posterior horn in my right knee.
This needs to be confirmed by an MRI next week. Doctor said depending on type of tear could be a relatively simple snip via an arthroscope!
The tear is in all likelihood a degenerative tear - through age wear and tear!




Here is a more technical description of the injury;



Medial Meniscus Tear

(Also known as a Medial Meniscal Tear, Torn Medial Meniscus, Medial Cartilage Tear, Medial Meniscal Dysfunction, Bucket Handle Tear of the Medial Meniscus, Torn Meniscus)

What is a medial meniscus tear?

The knee joint comprises of the union of two bones: the long bone of the thigh (femur) and the shin bone (tibia) (figure 1). Between the bone ends are 2 round discs made of cartilage called the medial (inner) and lateral (outer) meniscus (figure 1). Each meniscus acts as a shock absorber cushioning the impact of the femur on the tibia during weight-bearing activity. Normally the surface of the meniscus is very smooth allowing easy movement of the femur on the tibia. Occasionally the meniscus can be torn or damaged so that the surface is no longer smooth. When this occurs to the medial meniscus, it is known as a medial meniscus tear. Injuries to the medial meniscus are more common than lateral meniscus injuries.

Medial meniscal tears can occur suddenly due to too much weight bearing or twisting force going through the meniscus beyond what it can withstand, or gradually due to repetitive or prolonged weight bearing or twisting forces.

Injuries to the medial meniscus occasionally occur in combination with injuries to other structures of the knee, such as the cruciate ligaments, the collateral ligaments, or the lateral meniscus.

Causes of a medial meniscus tear

Medial meniscus tears often occur traumatically in sports that require sudden changes of direction and twisting movements (sometimes in combination with excessive straightening or bending of the knee). These sports may include football, soccer, basketball, netball and snow skiing. Medial meniscal tears frequently take place when the foot is fixed on the ground and a twisting force is applied to the knee (e.g. when another player's body falls across the leg, or when a player is tackled) or following a forceful jump or landing.

Medial meniscal tears may also occur over time through gradual wear and tear. This may be associated with degenerative changes to the knee joint. In older patients where degenerative changes are present, injury to the medial meniscus may occur with a relatively trivial movement.

Signs and symptoms of a medial meniscus tear

Patients with a medial meniscal tear may report that they heard an audible sound at the time of injury or experienced a tearing sensation. There is usually pain with weight bearing activity and twisting movements of the knee. Patients may also experience pain when climbing stairs, attempting to kneel or when squatting. Swelling is usually present in patients with medial meniscal tears and may occur a few hours after injury or, more commonly, in the following days. It is usually tender to touch the joint on the inner aspect of the knee. The knee may also feel weak or unstable and may click or lock during certain movements.

In minor cases of medial meniscus tears there may be little or no immediate symptoms. In these cases, symptoms may develop gradually over the coming days, typically with an increase in weight bearing or twisting activity. In more severe cases there may be severe pain and significant restriction in knee range of movement. Intermittent locking, clicking sensations, and episodes of giving way or collapsing may be present. The patient may also walk with a limp or, be unable to weight bear due to pain.

Diagnosis of a medial meniscus tear

A thorough subjective and objective examination from a physiotherapist is usually sufficient to diagnose a medial meniscus tear. Investigations such as X-ray and MRI are sometimes used to confirm diagnosis and exclude the presence of other injuries to the knee. In rare cases, where an MRI has proven inconclusive, an investigative arthroscope may be performed to assist diagnosis.

Treatment for a medial meniscus tear

Most minor tears to the medial meniscus heal well with appropriate physiotherapy. The success rate of treatment is largely dictated by patient compliance. A vital aspect of treatment is that the patient rests sufficiently from twisting and weight bearing activities (such as standing, walking, lifting, squatting, and running etc) until they are pain-free. Once this is achieved a gradual return to these activities is indicated provided there is no increase in symptoms.

Patients with a medial meniscus tear usually benefit from following the R.I.C.E. Regime. The R.I.C.E regime is beneficial in the initial phase of the injury (first 72 hours) or when inflammatory signs are present (i.e. morning pain or pain with rest). This involves resting from aggravating activities, regular icing, the use of a compression bandage and keeping the leg elevated. Anti-inflammatory medication may also significantly hasten the healing process by reducing the pain and swelling associated with inflammation.

Patients with a medial meniscus tear should perform pain-free flexibility and strengthening exercises as part of their rehabilitation to ensure an optimal outcome. One of the key components of rehabilitation is pain-free strengthening of the quadriceps (vastus medialis obliquus muscle – VMO), hamstrings and gluteals to improve the control of the knee joint with weight-bearing activities. The treating physiotherapist can advise which exercises are most appropriate for the patient.

Surgery for a medial meniscus tear

Despite appropriate physiotherapy management, a small percentage of minor meniscal tears fail to improve and subsequently require surgery in order to get back to full activity. The majority of large meniscal tears also require surgery. This is particularly true in those cases where the knee is 'locked'. Surgery for medial meniscus tears is minimally invasive. The procedure is called a knee arthroscope and involves a surgeon cutting away the torn part of the cartilage via 2 small incisions so that the meniscal surface is smooth once again. The aim of surgery is to preserve as much of the meniscus as possible. The treating physiotherapist and doctor will refer to a specialist if surgery is indicated. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation is then required following surgery to ensure an optimal outcome and enable a safe return to sport or activity.

Prognosis of a medial meniscus tear

Those patients with minor medial meniscus tears that are managed conservatively can usually expect to return to sport or activity in approximately 2 - 4 weeks. For moderate tears that are managed conservatively return to sport or activity may take 4 - 6 weeks or longer.

Minor medial meniscus tears that are managed surgically can sometimes return to sport or activity within 4 – 6 weeks, although most surgical repairs (especially when the meniscus tear is moderate to severe) will usually require a rehabilitation period of 6 - 8 weeks or longer. If there is damage to other structures in the knee, such as the anterior cruciate ligament, rehabilitation may require an extended period.It is important that medial meniscus injuries are managed appropriately, as inappropriate treatment may lead to the development of early knee osteoarthritis.

Physiotherapy for a medial meniscus tear

Physiotherapy treatment is vital to hasten the healing process and ensure an optimal outcome in all patients with medial meniscus tears regardless of whether they have surgery.

Physiotherapy treatment may comprise:

  • soft tissue massage
  • electrotherapy
  • taping or bracing to support the knee
  • mobilization
  • dry needling
  • hydrotherapy
  • the use of crutches
  • ice or heat treatment
  • progressive exercises to improve flexibility, balance and strength (especially the VMO muscle)
  • activity modification advice
  • education
  • biomechanical correction
  • anti-inflammatory advice
  • weight loss advice where appropriate
  • the use of Real-Time Ultrasound to assess and retrain the VMO muscle

For those patients who are undergoing surgery to repair the torn meniscus, physiotherapy and rehabilitation should commence prior to surgery. This may include treatment to reduce pain and swelling, electrotherapy, strengthening and range of movement exercises, the use of a compression bandage, and the use of crutches etc.

Following surgery, physiotherapy and rehabilitation is essential to assist the healing process and ensure an optimal outcome.

In the final stages of rehabilitation for all medial meniscus tears the physiotherapist can devise an appropriate return to sport or activity plan. Returning to activity too soon or without adequate rehabilitation will often lead to knee swelling and re-injury to the meniscus.

Other intervention for a medial meniscus tear

Despite appropriate physiotherapy management, some patients with medial meniscus tears fail to improve either conservatively or following surgery. When this occurs the treating physiotherapist or doctor can advise on the best course of management. This may include further investigations, pharmaceutical intervention, corticosteroid injection, or further surgery.

Exercises for a medial meniscus tear

The following exercises are commonly prescribed to patients with a medial meniscus tear. You should discuss the suitability of these exercises with your physiotherapist prior to beginning them. Generally, they should be performed 3 times daily and only provided they do not cause or increase symptoms.

Knee Bend to Straighten

Bend and straighten your knee as far as possible without increasing your pain (figure 2). This helps to restore your normal knee movement. Repeat 20 times.

Static Quadriceps Contraction

Tighten the muscle at the front of your thigh (quadriceps) by pushing your knee down into a towel (figure 3). Put your fingers on your inner quadriceps to feel the muscle tighten during contraction. Hold for 5 seconds and repeat 10 times as hard as possible without increasing your symptoms.

World Masters Games 2009 Sydney 1500m


The Tall, the Proud and the French !
NSW Premier,Nathan Rees, himself a 31min 10K runner in his day, hands out the medals in M45 1500m final at the World Masters Games in Sydney.


Imperious!
This is not Valentino Rossi in the the Australian Moto GP at Phillip Island ,
this is the Real Doctor!
Winning the M45 1500m Dr Jamie Harrison with shadows closing in!



Jamie's sister Lisa picked up her 2nd Silver in the W40 800m

46 DrJH Won his 3rd Gold, and 5th medal in total running the 1500m in an impressive 4m11!
and was pushed by a very talented Frenchman and Allan Cook also showing he's not just an 800m specialist with an eye opening 4m13!
Keith Bateman has been partying in the UK and France for 5 weeks but still managed to add the 1500m Gold to his 5000m Gold though it must taste sweeter when the quality of the opposition pushes you to your limit.

I thought this performance was a stand out amongst all this afternoons results!!

Jamie said on CoolRunning about his performance;


"The body is gradually (or rapidly!) falling apart, but managed to hold on for a win in the 1500. The calf strain I got after the 800 heats on Tuesday was at its worst on Wed-Thurs, and even improved after running the 5k in flats. However, I picked up a hamstring twinge after the 1500 heats yesterday and felt it almost 'go' with 2 laps to go. I thought it was going to be a DNF, but managed to get through it.

It was a bit disconcerting to see Don Matthewson beaten in the 65s (after winning the 800 and 5k), and Fossil run so close in the 50s - I thought the signs weren't good for the 5k winners!

Anyway, hopefully I won't have to use my hammies much in the half marathon tomorrow. I really want that 6th medal."

He added
"My post on Cool Running pretty much sums it up. I thought the easiest way for me to win would be to run fairly fast. I didn't think the rest of the field would get much under 4.20. Boy, was I mistaken!

The little French bloke won the steeple, and also in Lahti, with a world leading time. He is also ranked 14th in the 1500. I didn't know this until I got home and looked him up!

Hopefully I can make it to the start (and finish!) of the half marathon!

I should also mention my sister was 2nd in the F40 800 (behind the Chilean girl who beat her in the 1500) and my dad was 8th in the 65s 1500 (which was won in world leading time).

World Masters Track and Field Rankings

The World Masters Track and Field Rankings for 2009 have been posted here
There are some obvious updates still required but the work that goes into producing these must be enormous!
Great to see Jamie topping the list for the 10,000! his times for 1500 and 800 are missing as is Allan Cookes 2m00.7 M45 800m.
Keith Batemans 1500m isnt posted yet. Ronnie Peters tops the M55 10,000m.
Really good to see Brett Winter and Bruce Graham feature prominently.
Visit the site for the full selection but here are a few of the current lists.
Sorry about the layout but its difficult to get the configuration to display!
