Last Place & Proud of it: Lakes Traverse 100k - this chat with the super inspirational Caroline Johnson really made me fall in love with ultra running again! She describes a super friendly, supportive race through stunning Lake District scenery with generous cut offs (just the way I like it!) which has really reminded me how much I miss that place! Off camera at the end Caroline said she would also like to do the Northern Traverse (the whole 190 mile coast to coast route at the same time as the Lakes Traverse event) so we will watch her progress!

Upping the distance, gradually - the jump from 50 mile ultras straight to 100 miles sounds a bit much so I’ve booked the Race to the King 100k (65 mile) ultra in June 2024. Does the training differ at all? What should I be doing? And as usual for this exhausted mum, what’s the minimum I can get away with? Coach and Physio Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching is here again to share his advice, ahead of his Chianti Ultra Trail this weekend - good luck Tim! How to go from 50 mile ultras to 100km (65 mile) ultras with coach Tim Pigott was originally on YouTube here https://youtube.com/live/7HxwV9Onefo This live broadcast / podcast is sponsored by Naak nutrition which I used on the Arc50. Use code WILDGINGERRUNNING for 15% off at https://uk.naak.com/ Tim has made some Wild Ginger Running training plans including drills and skills, take a look here https://www.trainingpeaks.com/my-training-plans/WildGingerRunning In 2000 a car on the wrong side of the road, overtaking on a blind summit, crashed into coach Tim's car leaving him in a coma for two weeks and life-threatening injuries that took him years of surgeries and rehab to recover from. He is now mostly held together by metal. Find out more about the accident and his road to recovery here https://www.youtube.com/live/dRzi1AvUNOA Coming up next time with Tim: I feel tired and exhausted a lot of the time - maybe the next episode could be about that! Is it over training, under fuelling? Or just a byproduct of having an energy-absorbing toddler and full-time job?

Today we chat to the amazing last placed runner of the 3-day, 135 mile Ring of Fire 2023, Terry McCormick. Terry suffered from a bad stomach on the first day, then a horrendous blister on the second day (turn away during the photos if you're squeamish!), and continued on with the third day! He's an absolute machine. Enjoy all his tips in this episode of Last Place & Proud of it where we celebrate the achievements of those at the back of the pack on Britain's most famous and brutal trail and ultra races.

Today I’m super interested to be chatting to two of my Patreons Sean O’Keefe and Christian Poulton about how they nailed the Arc of Attrition 50 first time this Jan 2024. I got timed out about 12 miles from the end reaching the Godevry checkpoint 15mins after the 8pm cut off, so I’ll be comparing notes to see what I need to do differently next time if I give it another shot in 2025 and we'll be compiling a top 10 tips between us all to help you out.

Today we’re covering the 5 most common mistakes not to make the week before your ultra with incredible, unassailable coach and physio, Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching because I have the Arc of Attrition 50 miler on Saturday and I'm about to do it in a fairly new pair of my fave ultra running shoes, without great prior training and feeling a cold from my toddler coming on - should you run at all the week beforehand? So Tim's going to explain what not to do just before your next ultra, and a few last minute things that will help you out and make you feel more confident. Thanks coach Tim!

Delighted to chat to the incredible Graeme Brouder who was the last Brit to cross the line in the 2023 Spine Race, 268 miles along the Pennine Way from Edale to Kirk Yetholm, which takes place in the depths of winter every January. What makes Graeme tick? What training did he do and how did he stay mentally strong enough never to give up? Let’s find out in this live chat!

Use code WILDGINGERRUNNING for 15% off https://uk.naak.com/ Why create last & proud of it? I’ve reached a stage where I am (in a nice way) non-plussed about elite athletes winning races and setting records. I used to be in awe of these lofty achievements, but I have a lot more in common with and even more awe for the people in the middle of the pack, the back of the pack, and the person who comes LAST OF ALL. So this new series for 2024 celebrates the ‘normal’ ultra runners who come last in some of the UK’s most famous races and are quite rightly, very proud of their amazing achievement. Just like us, these unsung heroes have busy stressful lives filled with jobs, kids/pets/relatives, mental and/or physical health issues and injuries. Their training and racing has great highs and terrible lows, but they keep on running/jogging/walking/crawling to that finish line. What did it take? What was their training like? How did the race pan out? How did they beat those cut offs against all odds? And what hard-won golden nuggets of advice can they give to us ‘normal’ ultra runners about this race in particular, ultra running and life in general. I hope you like this series and feel inspired by it, just like I do.

NEW SERIES FOR 2024! Sneak preview first episode. I’m going to be honest here - I’ve reached a stage where I am (in a nice way) non-plussed about elite athletes winning races and setting records. I used to be in awe of these lofty achievements, but I have a lot more in common with and even more awe for the people in the middle of the pack, the back of the pack, and the person who comes LAST OF ALL. So this new series celebrates the ‘normal’ ultra runners who come last in some of the UK’s most famous races and are quite rightly, very proud of their amazing achievement. Just like us, these unsung heroes have busy stressful lives filled with jobs, kids/pets/relatives, mental and/or physical health issues and injuries. Their training and racing has great highs and terrible lows, but they keep on running/jogging/walking/crawling to that finish line. What did it take? What was their training like? How did the race pan out? How did they beat those cut offs against all odds? And what hard-won golden nuggets of advice can they give to us ‘normal’ ultra runners about this race, ultra running and life in general. This episode we speak to the fantastic Lizzie Hughes about her last place on the infamous Arc of Attrition 50 2023, which I am signed up for 27 Jan 2024. I may be the next last place person the way my training has been going! ;) So I need all the help from Lizzie that I can get, and maybe you do too for your next ultra whichever if might be.
