Running 44@60 - tips, ideas and advice for your first ultra marathon or marathon

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 stop 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 been in 2005 and 2010. Listening to Jim I realised that wasn’t a Taming Tigers enough challenge. For some reason the term 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 are 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 already been a business podcast I decided that the best way to learn how to take on this challenge was to do 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 be my first ever coastal path run the white rat that year and my first guest being 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 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. Thank you everyone - it's been a blast!

So here we are recording on Monday January 27th - 2 days after the Arc 50 So what happened to our group - Richard, Anya, Himani, Tom, Nicky and Matt? Each has a story to tell Some made it Some didn’t What would they all do differently? And what are they doing next? It has been fantastic being part of this group - behind the scenes the What’s app group the 7 of us are part of has been virtually every day for the past 2.5 months full of encouragement, support, advice and help. And most of us met in person for the first time at either Friday registration or at 5am on the Saturday in the barn at HQ waiting for the coaches to the Minack You can access and download the previous 171 episodes of this show via your usual podcast app or on the Running 44@60 podcast page. I ran my first, and so far only completed, 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.

Just 3 days to go to the Arc of Attrition 50 - I've been planning all the sections - estimating times for each one, making notes of landmarks to take with me, getting all the kit ready for registration check on Friday. And with no running for four weeks I've been eating, sleeping, watching Arc of Attrition You Tube videos and listening to previous episodes of this podcast which featured the Arc 50. My plan is to be on the start line and see how we go from there. I want to have a grand day out and I'll be recording for this podcast as part of that. Looking at my timing estimates ensuring I get to St Ives in time to change shoes etc and leave by 5.15pm could be very tight. Good luck to all of you taking part. Run with a smile on your face and enjoy your day!

Instead we focus on sharing anything that might easily be overlooked such as : You have to wear your race bib on your front but not on your shorts Cut off times at aid stations are when you leave not when you arrive Leaving the Minack start will be very slow - don’t panic! Registration - remember to take all mandatory kit including your pack and trail shoes As well as tips for eating, setting timers, drinking plenty etc...

Send us a text To celebrate a landmark birthday in 2024 Rachel Thomson tackled a series of running events throughout the year whilst raising money for St Petrocs, the Cornwall Homeless Charity. The website provides information on how you can donate - including all those running hoodies you never wear. So how did all go? We catch up on the four events that became five when Rachel added the November Cornish Marathon to her challenges. Rachel’s fundraising finishes at the start of 2025 so you still have time to support her via her Local Giving page. The five challenges Rachel undertook: April 21st - London Marathon - Rachel wore a bright yellow St Petrocs top and had a fabulous day out. June 14th - Scilly 60% - 38 km over four of the Isles of Scilly: St Martins, Tresco, Bryher, St Agnes - if you miss the cut off on any stage you literally miss the boat to the next stage. Did Rachel make the cut offs? Aug 2nd 7pm start - The BOYD (Bring Out Your Dead) - 24 hours of running a 5 mile loop which includes 500 steps. If you stop at any point for more than 10 minutes you're out! Rachel tells how a rogue piece of wood with nails didn't help. Sept 14th - The Woods - 12 hours of a 4 mile loop in Tehidy Woods. One of Rachel's favourites. Nov 3rd - The Cornish Marathon - 26.2 miles through mid/east Cornwall To get in touch with this podcast drop an email to podcast@trevorleemedia.co.uk or at the top of these notes press ‘Send us a Text Message’ - if you use that method please include your name otherwise I won't know who you are and I can’t reply to text messages.

Send us a text I made a big thing about saying that I would never run the Cornish Marathon and there I was on November 3rd 2024 on the start line. So yes I did run the Cornish Marathon, or rather I 'Jeffed' the Cornish Marathon so four minutes running one minute walking using the same strategy I used at the Brighton Marathon earlier in the year. Was a great day and I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of fantastic people and some amazing views from the middle of nowhere. Loads of great volunteers out on the course - just a tremendous day. I'm so glad that I did do it. This is an on the run recording picking up snippets as I go which I hope you'll enjoy and I hope will give you a flavour for the Cornish Marathon if you decide to do it in 2025. If you do think about that here's the link to the East Cornwall Harriers website page featuring the Cornish 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. The Running 44@60 podcast began as a learning / motivational tool for host Trevor Lee in his quest to run a first ever ultra - the Classic Quarter in 2021 - here's the story of Running 44@60 It now has 160 episodes and is aimed at those thinking about and committing to their first ever ultra.

Send us a text I met Brendan Fletcher when we were both earlier this year on the England Athletics Coach in Running Fitness course. Brendan is a fully qualified tour guide and has run several ultra marathons most of which I've never heard of including: TestWay Ultra Dragon Coastal Ultra 100 Run with No Witty Name Clarendon Marathon We also talk about Brendan's new running tour around Stonehenge based on his amazing local knowledge of the area – he lives just 1 mile from Stonehenge in combination with his sheer enthusiasm for running and his seven year experience as a tour guide. For the Stonehenge Running Tour Brendan specialises in working with groups of four people, who book with him as a group and then he will take them on a run anywhere between five and 13 miles at all times of the year. Brendan even offers as part of the service to pick people up to come on the tour from anywhere as far away from Stonehenge as Bristol in one direction and London in another direction. Brendan is a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide and I'm convinced that anyone going on one of his tours will have a great time and learn absolutely tons. Be ready though with your phone camera because you are going to go places that only Brendan will be able to take you. Brendan also tries to, regardless of the time of year, start each run around sunrise so you get the best views of the Stonehenge area. Brendan's non-running tours can be found at Chalkland Tours Ltd You can access and download the previous 157 episodes of this show via your usual podcast app or on the Running 44@60 podcast page.

Send us a text One of the things I'm always trying to do on this podcast is have people on it who have completed running challenges that we've not covered before and indeed many of the listeners might not have heard of. I first met Martin Elcoate at the Cornwall Running Show in 2023 when he was one of the volunteers on The Green Runners stand. And then earlier this year Martin appeared in a whole page article in Runners World featuring the amazing challenge he had undertaken starting at the beginning of 2024 involving a bespoke Ordinance Survey map and the 400 km² that surrounded where he lived. Essentially Martin's plan was to run through every one of the 400 squares all of which are 1km x 1km. Martin's dairy can be found on Instagram @martinelcoate Martin shares details of the challenge and also gives us an update on what's happening with The Green Runners including a crowdfunding campaign they have launched to enable them to employ a couple of people to help them massively expand their work.

Send us a text The Woods is an event organised Bys Vyken Events and I took part in it on September 14th 2024 tackling the 12 hour version of the four and a bit mile loop in Tehidy Woods in the middle of Cornwall. It was a great day and an event that I would definitely recommend. I didn't record on the way around with the exception of a few snippets on my phone on my last lap which I share at the end of a few minutes of introducing the event and mentioning a few people who I met on the day. A couple of events I mentioned on the episode that depending on when you read these notes you might still be able to enter: Run Mawnan Tywarnhayle 10k To celebrate reaching the 5 year marker of the podcast I'm giving away a few copies of 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon.

Send us a text 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.

Send us a text 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 This is episode 154 of the Running 44@60 podcast and to celebrate reaching the 150 episode marker I'm offering listeners the chance to win one of six copies of 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon.
