Annie Vernon is the daughter of a Cornish farmer who became a double world champion and an Olympic Silver medalist in that toughest of all sports - rowing.

Annie then wrote an award winning book Mind Games - subtitled determination, doubt and lucky socks: an inside his guide to the psychology of elite athletes. You can buy Mind Games from your local independent bookshop or via Bookshop which is an online shop supporting independent book shops if you want to buy the book online. 
 
During the episode Annie shares those mindset insights which the club runners and elite runners who listen to this podcast can apply when they are running, including the traits of determination, confidence, resilience and competitiveness.

It is a fascinating episode as we get a peek into the world of the elite athlete and all that entails in terms of mindset and how that alone can often make the difference between being great and being good. 

This is episode 155 of the Running 44@60 podcast and it is also the fifth anniversary of the podcast since we first launched on August 21st 2019

To celebrate reaching the 5 year marker I'm giving away 3 copies of 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon.

I ran my first, and so far only, ultra marathon in 2021 - the 44 mile Classic Quarter - to celebrate a landmark birthday which was a few weeks before the run. 

This podcast started as a way of me learning how to do that - hence why it’s called Running 44@60. The adventure then turned into a book and as a business consultant it became both a business and running book and is available on Amazon via this link: 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon. 

My run raised over £7000 for Childrens Hospice South West Music Therapy programme and every book bought on Amazon generates another £5 for the programme.
   
 My big running goal remains the Arc of Attrition 50 in January 2025.

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. 

If you enjoy the episode then please do share it with your Running colleagues and it would be great if you left a review

Trevor wrote a book on the back of the Classic Quarter: 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon - all proceeds go to the Children's Hospice South West

On this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I'm talking to Mark Roby about how he went from struggling to walk because of a back injury to a sub 3 hour marathon in less than 3 years. 

Mark ran his first London Marathon when he was 23 years old back in 1999 in a time of 4:18

He didn't really run then until he discovered parkrun in 2017 but his running was scuppered in 2021 with a significant back problem which he gradually recovered from and in 2022 he joined a running club for the first time and did his first race in July that year.

That was the start of a journey that less than two years later took him across the line at Brighton in 2:55:51, a time which in 2021 would have felt completely impossible.

So how did he make such a massive improvement at the age of 48?

Mark shares in the podcast episode the way he changed his diet, the way he stuck to a training plan which included regular course sessions some built around yoga and how he used parkrun to measure his speedwork progress.

He also talks how we did a lot of easy 45 to 60 minute runs, essentially because they were not too difficult to fit into his daily working schedule.

Mark also talks about Man Down Cornwall and how they helped him when he wasn't able to run.
 
Mark offers two tips two be would be Marathon runners: 

1. Commit properly to a plan and avoid the temptation to skip some sessions
2. Work at different paces during your training

Colin was the inaugural winner in 2019 of an event called 'Bring out your dead' which was a 24-hour event part of the Roseland August Trails (RAT) involving running essentially for the full 24-hour is as you are only allowed to stop for a maximum of 20 minutes at any one point in time and you have to be totally self-sufficient so you couldn't even indulge in the aid station which was part of the 2 1/2 mile out and back route for this 24-hour run.
Colin also shares some final top tips of the classic water including notes on the route, pack weights, the mental state of mind etc

Trevor wrote a book on the back of the Classic Quarter: 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon - all proceeds go to the Children's Hospice South West

This episode was recorded on May 5th 2021 - 17 days before the Classic Quarter and exactly 27 months and 820 days since I announced I was going to take part - that announcement was on Feb 5th 2019.
In this episode I reflect on the transition from completing the long run training to now focusing on my mindset for the day. I share how I'm breaking the course down into four very uneven quarters and also into 3 mile segments and what I'll be doing during each segment as well as talking about how I'm planning to simply have a big day out.
I also introduce a new idea when this is over called RB@50 which is running begins at 50 and is inspired a little bit by the lonely goats running community and also by the number of people that I've met my kind of age-group out running on their own during my training as well as targeting those people who have got to the stage in life where they words want to return to their youthful activity but without any motivation or inspiration could easily end up simply not doing that and instead buying a bigger TV a bigger sofa and a wider sky sports subscription.

I recorded this on April 21st 2021 - my first venture onto what is widely regarded as the toughest part of the Classic Quarter course. Lots of short snippets of recording - some are a little bit wind affected and my poles are clanking bit in another but overall I hope it gives you a guide to what you can expect.

Good Friday - April 2nd - was my 60th birthday and I had decided to do my own marathon starting at 8am.  A chance to collect marathon  number 3 after Amsterdam in 2005 and Eden in 2010. But having shouted so much about 44@60 I decided to keep this quiet. Only my daughter Beth and son Jim knew.
Little did I know that Beth had spent 6 weeks organising support runners all the way along the route - and of course that had only been allowed since March 29th.
This podcast episode summarises how the 'secret' marathon unfolded....

The big announcement is that I'm going to be raising money for Musical Therapy sessions delivered by Children's Hospice South West.
And I need your help to hit my £100 / mile target
Two fundraising ways:
1. Just Giving - we divided the 44 miles into 176 quarter mile segments and we're looking to have each segment sponsored for £10. As a incentive Trevor Lee Media is sponsoring a £75 eating out voucher for one lucky sponsor who will be decided by a random draw.

2. Business Masterclasses - I'm running a series of 3 sales and presenting masterclasses. They are all virtual and will be a fast paced, action packed one hour. Spots are £44 +vat with the entire  £44 going into the fund-raising pot. 

Any support and/or sharing of this much appreciated.

For this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast host Trevor Lee recorded on the run at the 2024 Brighton Marathon on Sunday April 7th

Trevor used the same Jeff Galloway method that he used in the 2023 Brighton half marathon when he was several minutes under his predicted time

The method is to run four minutes then walk for one minute throughout the whole of the event, even though in those first few walks you get overtaken by seemingly hundreds of runners!

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

I mentioned Rob Deering who we saw at the Komedia Comedy Club in Brighton - Rob co-hosts a great running podcast - Running Commentary - with fellow comedian Paul Tonkinson. Paul is planning to run this year's Marathon des Sables.

I've now gone past 100 runs for the year, helped my daughter do her first half marathon, took 12 days off to rest which broke my sequence of 'Not a Park Run', got some new shoes, and am told the Classic Quarter is still on for Sept 5th.

I started running diary in November 2003, my late and great friend Neil Anthony told me it would be a great way to motivate myself as I began the buildup to my first marathon in October 2005 in Amsterdam alongside Neil and his wife Christine.
Since then in an old A4 Hardback notebook I've logged every outdoor run, whether that be race or training run and latterly park runs.
By the end of 2019 I was up to 971 and about three weeks ago I did run number 1000, it turned out to be among the lunchtime training run in the rain, and at the time I didn't realise it was run number 1000.
In this episode therefore I'm sharing with you some of the highlights and also encouraging you to keep a running diary.

I recorded lost of on the run snippets but the wind savaged them! So instead here is my post-event (I won't call it a race) account of the Classic Jack which was very well organised by https://bysvykenevents.vpweb.co.uk 
Thanks to my Truro Running Club team mates for their encouragement and support. 
I hope this podcast leaves you feeling inspired to run this event in 2021. 
Go for it!

The Arc of Attrition is billed as the toughest 100 mile ultra in the UK. Being part of the checkpoint 'Arc Angels' team at the 39 mile mark gave me a unique insight into the runners and how they coped with running for upwards of 36 hours on the coastal path daily in the dark, in the winter. Hats off to everyone who started and particularly those that finished.

In this episode I look back on 2019 which has been my most prolific running year ever and share my favourite 6 races of that 26 that I've taken part in.

Each of the six had a particular significance for my running and it was a very hard decision about which races to leave out of that top six because there have been some great races that I've had the privilege to take part in.

I also look forward to my race plans for 2020 as the 44 mile challenge in 2021 starts to appear over the horizon.

Finally a great big thank you to everyone who has taken part in the show this year. If you would like to share your experience or expertise in running next year then please drop me a line to trevor@trevorleemedia.co.uk

Mike Samuels - combining Powerlifting and Ultra Running

In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I’m talking to Mike Samuels about how he combines Powerlifting with Ultra Running 

We talk about how he got into both sports and how he combines them to get the benefits of one for the other.

In Powerlifting Mike focuses on Back Squats, BenchPress and Dead Lift.

For Ultra Running Mike has run six 100 mile races including the 2024 Arc Of Attrition 100 which he completed in 23:00:24 thus gaining the much sought after sub-24 hours black buckle and taking a remarkable three and a half hours off his time from 2023

Mike suggests that any runner seriously considers doing some strength work but advises on starting off small so that they achieve good form before hiking up the weights

During the episode Mike mentioned two challenges he’s going to undertake in 2024:

The South Downs Way in June

And the Race Across Scotland in August

I also mention the West Highland Way Race which listener and previous guest Colin Bathe is running in June.

And Richard Asquith's great book The Race Against Time

Christine Anthony was part of the GB women's team that recently set a new 4 x 400m world record in Venice at the European Masters Championships in the W55 category. I met up with Christine in Kent along with other old college buddies Diccon Gray and Paul Hanson as we reflected on how our degree in Human Movement Studies had helped us become finely tuned athletes - ok maybe just Christine is the finely tuned athlete amongst us. We did though have a competitive Bedgebury Forest ParkRun, Christine then won the ladies 10K in the same forest on the Sunday whilst I battled the mud and hills in the half marathon version.
