Ugen Is Thriving Under New Coach

LORRAINE UGEN is now coached by long jump legend Dwight Phillips and has enjoyed a brilliant start to the year, writes Jason Henderson.

At the Clemson Invitational last month she leapt 6.74m – further than she managed during the whole of 2019 – and shows she is getting back to the seven-metre form she demonstrated in 2018.

The 28-year-old Londoner is now based in Atlanta but plans to return for the Müller Indoor Grand Prix in Glasgow on February 15.

On her coaching switch from Shawn Jackson to Phillips, she told AW: “Dwight was a great athlete and when I was considering moving coaches I wanted to make sure that I chose a coach who either had experience coaching an athlete to a world or Olympic medal or had experience physically doing it themselves, so that they could pass on the knowledge to me on how to also do it myself!

Trail time

WHEN looking for a trail or off-road running shoe, it’s often all about the grip. However, given that no two paths are the same, careful consideration is required. What’s the terrain like where you’ll wear the shoes the most? If you’ll 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 it’s soft then you’ll be fine in low-profile shoes, but on those firmer tracks reasonable cushioning will be called for.
