"Mottram gives Tigers a Tanning"
By Michael Stevens (Herald-Sun) Dec 22nd

RICHMOND'S Cam Howat tried to kick with running maestro Craig Mottram around The Tan yesterday.

However the 21-year-old, who played five games this season after being promoted off the rookie list, lasted about 200m before succumbing to the relentless pressure.

Howat, however, was still the best of the Tigers around the 3.8km Botanical Gardens circuit.

Mottram, who has been working out in the club's gym, gave the players about two minutes start and ran a sizzling 10min 8sec to beat them comprehensively.

Howat's time was 13min 8sec, just behind Tasmanian world junior and senior orienteering champion Hanny Allston, 20, who registered 13:03.

Champion Irish distance runner Sonia O'Sullivan started with the main group and beat the footballers on her merits, recording around 12min 50sec.

Tigers coach Terry Wallace said he was glad his players had the opportunity to run against one of the world's best.

"To be honest, it was bloody fantastic to watch," Wallace said. "Craig has done the best time ever on the Tan (beating his previous best of 10:11sec), and he went past our blokes like they were stopped.

"He's caught the first of the young boys at the top of the (Anderson St) hill, and he grabbed the core of the group, including our better runners, by the Shrine.

"And then Cam Howat, who's our best at the moment, tried to kick with him, and lasted probably 200m and then died."

Wallace said Mottram then spoke to players about pushing themselves to the limit.

"He spoke to them about how they should be running and what they should be doing," Wallace said

It's not about development in any catagory its about the experience they will get from training with one of the worlds best long distance runners.

If you would rather them just sit on thier arse and not go out and get taught on what to do to improve thier stamina and overall running ability then you go down to the club and asked Terry to step aside.

 

[Heisenberg_]

you really have no clue about long distance running do you?
Not even going to bother explaining to you either

What im saying that motrum doesnt need to have the same amount of muscle bulk as an AFL footballer. he doesnt want to have a big upper body like and afl footballer. Mate i know plenty about long distance running.

Pretty obvious you know JS if you think that Mottram needs to bulk up, if he bulks up he wont be able to run the distance that he does.
w@nker
The only twisted & bitter knob ache is obviously you going by every single post you make, critisisng everything.
Hmm quite an ironic comment IMO
