| Thank you and goodnight | 31 janv. 2025 | 00:30:02 | |
If you’re wondering why this episode is called thank you and good night it is because it is the final episode. I’ve had an absolute fantastic time. I’ve met some incredible people hosting this podcast since it first started in August 2019 not just as guests but as listeners and also at all the runs I've taken part in. It was only meant to help me complete the Classic Quarter which I did in May 2021 so it should’ve finished over 3 1/2 years ago . But here we are at episode number 173 and of course it was almost by sheer chance that this whole journey started. Back in February 2019 I was invited to speak at a business conference. The headline speaker was a guy called Jim Lawless who talked about a concept he had created called TamingTigers which essentially was about setting yourself challenges way beyond your comfort zone. Whilst listening to Jim, I was conscious that I was just over two years away from a landmark birthday for which I had been thinking about running a third career marathon, the previous two being in 2005 and 2010. Listening to Jim I realised that wasn’t a Taming Tigers enough challenge. For some reason the name Classic Quarter popped up into my head and I looked it up over lunchtime to discover that it was a coastal path run from Lizard Point, which is relatively close to where I was living when my children were growing up, to Lands End. Undoubtedly the Taming Tigers bit was discovering it was 44 miles! I started calling the challenge 44 at 60 and as I already had a business podcast I decided that the best way to learn how to take on this challenge was to start a podcast so I could record all the great advice I knew I would be given. The first episode which was basically an introduction episode went live in August 2019, with episode two being my first ever coastal path race - the White Rat. My first guest was the fabulous Andy Goundry who told me ultrarunning was an eating competition not a running competition and to make sure that I walked up all the hills in the race, but to run up all of them in training and keep smiling! Without doubt this podcast was a massive factor in achieving my goal of finishing the Classic Quarter and along the way raising over £7000 for the children’s hospice Southwest and postrace writing the book 12 business lessons from running an ultra marathon. So many fantastic guests, so many great running adventures and so many great running community friends. I feel very privileged to have been able to do this. Thank you everyone - it's been a blast!

| Top Running Tips from New Running Coaches | 11 août 2024 | 00:10:54 | |
I’ve recently, along with 11 others, passed the England Athletics Coach in Running Fitness Course This involved an initial weekend in Taunton followed by a couple of Zoom lead sessions before returning to Taunton almost 3 months later for a final assessment. In between the first and last session we had to work with an athlete on an eight week programme (known as a mesocycle) to help them reach a particular running goal. So I've handed over this episode to six newly qualified coaches who were on the same course as me to share with you their top tips to help you with your running. You're going to hear from Drew, Lorna, Tom, Ryan, Anita and Brendan A big thanks to them for their contribution not just to this episode but to helping you with your running and being great colleagues on the course.

Regular contributor to this podcast, Andy Williams had a fantastic run at the Roseland August Trails (RAT) completing the extraordinarily tough 100 km /64 mile event known as the Plague in 17:31:52 The Plague starts at the Porthpean near St Austell race HQ at 12:05am on the Saturday morning and takes the runners 32 miles down the Cornish coast path to St Anthony's Head where they turn around and run back Andy had a terrific run and when I saw him afterwards was feeling still full of energy - a complete contrast to me and I'd only run a third of the distance! So I was keen to know why he was still feeling energised What had he done with regard to nutrition and hydration? Andy shares how he completely changed his view of nutrition within the last two months before he successfully completed the Plague. He talks about Precision Hydration gels and electrolyte tablets and Cliff Blocs Andy’s nutrition plan clearly worked for him There is a mention for Andy as the Race Director for the fabulous Truro Half Marathon which is on Sunday, September 15th This is episode 153 of the Running 44@60 podcast.

| Scilly60, 60% and Tide Race with Wez Swain | 05 mai 2024 | 00:41:49 | |
On this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I'm talking to Wez Swain In 2023 Wez had an idea that became the Scilly60 A 60km race that takes in the five inhabited islands of the Isles of Scilly 75 places were available and 65 runners started with 24 finishing. If you missed the cut out you missed the boat to the next start line! The average pace needed to make the cut offs is 7.30 mins / km For 2024 Wes has doubled the number of places and added the Scilly60% 'fun run' which is a 40 km event taking in four of the islands - with an average pace needed of 8.30 mins / km These events take place on Friday, June 14th for the Scilly60% and Sunday, June 16th for the Scilly60 Places have largely sold out but there may be the odd place that comes available so if you are interested the best thing to do is email Wes via hello@scilly60.co.uk The Tide Race which will happen on 22nd August. It sounds like an amazing almost one-off opportunity because it’s the only day of the year essentially where this could occur given you have to run from Tresco to Merrick Island and back in calf/knee deep water, then its a lap of Tresco before running across the sands to Bryher and back hence the need to run on the day when the tide is lowest. There is currently no limit on the number of competitors for what will be a half marathon in total distance. And then at the end of August Wes is putting on a series of Swim Run events as part of the first Ocean Scilly Festival You can find out all the details of all the fantastic events that Wes is putting on via the website https://scilly60.co.uk This is episode 147 of the Running 44@60 podcast.

| The ARC and UTMB with Fergy | 29 avr. 2024 | 00:38:59 | |
On this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I'm talking to Fergy - who is now the Event Director of Arc of Attrition by UTMB - about the Arc of Attrition, how it started and how it’s going to look as part of the UTMB World Series. There has been a tremendous amount of chatter on social media since the announcement that UTMB is taking over the ARC and Ferg explains some of the differences but also reassures those who don’t like change that much of what runners have become used to over the last few years will continue, including the involvement of the Arc Angels. Whilst we cover off some of the changes we don’t get bogged down in the detail because all the various rules and regulations are available on the website: https://arcofattrition.utmb.world Fundamentally some of the changes include no deferrals, no waiting list and no support crew for the 50 race But there will be more aid stations, there will be potentially staggered starts with two waves for each race and there is a new 25 event starting in St Ives It is amazing to think that here in Cornwall we will be hosting one of Europe’s most iconic winter trail running events and with the addition of the new 25 mile event there will be more runners taking part than ever before, certainly more than the 53 hardy souls who shared the dream back in 2015 when they took part in the first ARC 100.

Trevor’s target was to be under five hours, with a secondary target of being under 4:50 and a top target of sub 4:45 As you will hear the Jeffing method worked really well and Trevor came home in 4:42 The podcast episode will give you a real flavour for the fantastic atmosphere created by the thousands of spectators who lined the course The noise was absolutely immense in places and you will also hear that there was several groups of musicians and singers out on the course This will take some beating for being Trevor’s number one run of 2024 when he looks back on the year in December Here is the link to the results: Brighton Marathon Results 2024 And here is the link to the Brighton Marathon page if by listening to this you are persuaded to go for it in 2025 - its on Sunday April 6th If you’ve done something interesting, ideally that we haven’t covered in previous episodes, and would like to be a guest on the show please drop me a line to podcast@trevorleemedia.co.uk This is episode 143 of the Running 44@60 podcast.

| Pete Sowerby - debut Arc 100 in sub 24 | 02 févr. 2024 | 00:38:11 | |
In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I’m talking to Pete Sowerby about his amazing 100 mile debut run in the famous Arc of Attrition. He finished in 23:42 thus taking home the coveted Black Buckle and winning his age category, not that the Arc has age categories, by over four hours. Indeed his time would have won him the whole event in 2018. So during the episode we talk how he started running when he was around 40 and his journey through the local runs to sub 3hr marathons, marathon running for England, and onto the Classic Quarter, Snowdonia 50k, the Arc 50 and then the Arc 100. And during that buildup time how with the help of the experts at The Run Lab he changed his running technique and as a result not only got faster but found that his injury rate reduced significantly. Pete shares details of his Arc training plans including 25 mile back to backs, his nutrition plan and ultimately how it went on the day including one or two low moments the first of which arrived at only 12 miles. At the conclusion of the episode I ask Pete for two top tips for would-be long-distance runners and they are: Firstly try out your nutrition plan during your training, get used to eating proper food during training and find out what works for you Secondly go out there and enjoy the event After we finished recording he also add practicing hill walking because in the event you are going to be walking up and indeed down some of the hills so you need to practice that.

| OMM, ‘Allie’ the film and Fell Running with Toby Lowe | 07 janv. 2024 | 00:34:43 | |
In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast photographer, videographer, trail, fell and ultra runner Toby Lowe shares some great insights and advice into the world of self navigation fell and trail running as well as the film he has made about Allie Bailey and her Arc of Attrition 100 in 2023. The film - entitled ‘Allie’ is to be premiered at the The Cornwall Running Show 2024 at 3pm on Sunday January 14th at the Heartlands event centre in Cornwall. In the first part of the episode we talk about the OMM, the Original Mountain Marathon which started in 1968 and in 2023 was held in the Snowdonia area. Toby explains how the event works including self-navigation, self-sufficiency (you have to carry everything you need for two days including camping and cooking gear) and how you have no idea about the course until you are handed a map on the start line. Toby’s top tips are to do its of strength work as part of your training, including running in a fully laden pack and during the event don’t follow others (they may not be going in the right direction) instead focus on your own navigation skills. OMM is teams of two with certain time allowances between starting and arriving at the overnight campsite. Find out more about the 2024 OM here: https://theomm.com/original-mountain-marathon/events/ Toby also talks about the fell running series on Dartmoor, encouraging listeners to take part in some of the 12 race series which in 2024 starts on April 20th.

| My favourite 6 races of 2023 | 12 déc. 2023 | 00:23:08 | |
In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I’m sharing my favourite 6 races of 2023 I mention separately the three favourite park runs I did which were Babbs Mill on the morning of the national running show and it was also the coldest ever Park run I’ve ever taken part in, Trelissick on June 10th when I celebrated my 100th park run at that venue by donning complete cricket gear and my favourite was the Hove Promenade the day before the Brighton half which my son and I took part in and we decided that we will have a gentle run out on the park run which then got super competitive and in the end he beat me by nine seconds but it was still my fastest of the year. So the top six are: In sixth place Cousin Jack – an 18 mile race on the toughest bit of the Cornish coastal path In fifth place the KVK solo In third place Hope 24 – my first venture into a festival running event In second place Exe to Axe - 22 pretty brutal miles and it was on my birthday! And this year’s winner is St Piran’s Revenge – the toughest yet most spectacular five and a bit miles race I’ve ever done and I love the way it was done in a minimalist way Don’t forget The Cornwall Running Show 2024 will be held on Sunday January 14th at the Heartlands event centre – I will be there encouraging visitors to the show to come and do a two minute recording with me about their running plans for 2024 This is episode 133 of the Running 44@60 podcast.

| Lighthouse Marathon - a first ever DNF! | 29 oct. 2023 | 00:20:53 | |
In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I’m sharing my experience of running the first ever Lighthouse Marathon. Pendeen to Godrevy on the North Cornwall Coast with a bit on at the start and finish to make it the full marathon distance. For me it was an ARC 50 test. With 3 months to go where am I fitness wise was the key question to be answered. Sadly a recent achilles injury I had recovered from re-occured when I slipped / stumbled at 7 miles. I hobbled on to the 14 mile aid station at St Ives where I had already decided enough was enough. My first ever DNF (Did Not Finish) It also means my Arc adventure for January 2024 is over. I’ve deferred to January 2025. I mention the Ford Sen Mighal - its a great Bys Vyken event on December 2nd - North Cornwall Coast (Lelant) to South Cornwall Coast (Marazion) This is episode 130 of the Running 44@60 podcast.

| 220 miles King Alfred's Way with Jim Spencer | 16 oct. 2023 | 00:36:29 | |
In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I’m talking to King Alfred's Way top 5 finisher Jim Spencer. We recorded the episode whilst setting up the Trelissick Parkrun on Saturday October 14th. King Alfred Way's went through 4 counties and the event, organised by Cockbain Events was billed as being 220 miles with 85 hours to complete it in. As you will hear Jim took the odd wrong turn and ended up doing 234 miles but well within the cut off time. Unbelievably one of his fastest miles was towards the event when he was looking to gain 5th place. Host Trevor Lee ran his own first ultra in 2021 - the 44 mile Classic Quarter - hence 44@60.

| Tim Hill and IronMan Copenhagen | 10 oct. 2023 | 00:31:16 | |
In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I’m talking to first time IronMan Tim Hill who successfully completed the Copenhagen Ironman in August 2023. Tim worked for the LTA for many years as a high performance coach and spent seven years as a Tennis Coach in Australia which is where the idea for an Ironman first emerged. We talk about Tim’s planning, how he hired an Ironman coach, his balance of training for the three disciplines And then how it went on the day Copenhagen seems to be a top choice for first time IronMan competitors as the swim is in a lagoon on the sea front, the biking is 2 loops and the running 4 loops so you can constantly enjoy the supporting encouragement of the crowds. Tim top tips are to commit to the challenge and get help in the form of a coach. Tim's coach spent 30 minutes a week with him on the phone and every Sunday evening sent Tim a training schedule for the week ahead. This is episode 129 of the Running 44@60 podcast.

| Bob Graham Round and Lakeland 100 with Stuart Musson and Colin Bathe | 28 août 2023 | 00:34:05 | |
In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast we hear about two of the UK's most epic ultra running challenges – the Lakeland 100 and the Bob Graham Round. Stuart Musson undertook the Bob Graham Round challenge in June 2023. You have 24 hours in which to complete the 42 peaks, 66 miles and 27,000 feet of ascent and you have to have someone witness you achieving every single peak so a massive logistical piece of pre-run planning to make sure everything is in place. Stuart completed the task in 21 hours 49 minutes. The Lakeland 100 is without doubt one of the most iconic hundred mile races in the UK. Colin Bathe had never run in the mountains before he set off in this year’s Lakeland 100. in the podcast Colin will talk about how he overcame about a third of the way in a feeling of wanting to give up, particularly after one of his poles broke. Colin set himself a goal of 34 hours and he came in in 33:53. Stuart’s top tip for any would-be ultra runners is that the mental side of ultra running sometimes outweighs the physical side in terms of the effect it can have on your endeavours, so be prepared for those moments where you feel you just can’t go on, they will pass. Colin’s top tips are to treat ultra running as an eating competition and to start slowly and then go slower.

| The BOYD and Andy Brown | 13 août 2023 | 00:21:18 | |
Imagine taking part in a run that’s called ‘Bring out your Dead’ or BOYD for short that starts with a rather macabre leading of the runners to the start line by a guy dressed in a plague type mask and with a drummer beating the death march and has a field of only 10 runners. And then just to spice things up this race takes place over an out and back distance of 4.3 miles which includes some horrendous up and down steps and in 2023 just to round things off took place during a particularly gruesome August storm. Oh and by the way did I mention that during the whole event you can only stop for a maximum 10 minutes at any one point in time, you are not allowed any sort of outside help whatsoever and your sanctuary area where you go at the end of each lap to maybe have something to eat or drink or change of clothes is open to the elements. Yes by now you are thinking you’ve got a bit crazy to do this event. No actually a lot crazy. Or very very focused and determined. And that is how I would describe my running friend Andy Brown who completed this years BOYD which you are going to hear about on this episode. This is episode 127 of the Running 44@60 podcast.

| Hope 24 Running Festival | 13 juil. 2023 | 00:56:51 | |
Hope 24 Running Festival The Hope 24 Running Festival took place near Plymouth on the weekend of July 8th-10th. The Hope 24 Running Festival consists of a choice of 12, 24 or 36 hour timed runs during which you complete as many or as few circuits of a 5 mile off-road course as you wish. There are also various relays from a team of two right through to a team of eight. This was my first ever venture into a 24-hour running event and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed it. A big thanks to the organisers GB Ultras and to the local Mountain Search and Rescue team who manned the only aid station on the course at the 2 mile point. I stuck to my plan and completed eight laps and 40 miles I did four laps between 12 noon on the Saturday and around 5:45 PM with a 20 minute or so break between each lap to go back to the tent and eat proper food and drink green tea I then had a break until I started lap five at around 9:15 PM with a further break and then a final lap that day starting around 10:40 PM Then up for a starting time of 5:15 AM and 7 AM for my last lap I was very tempted to continue on two more laps to get to 50 miles but that wasn’t part of the plan so I didn’t do it Next year’s event is scheduled for the same weekend This is episode 126 of the Running 44@60 podcast.
