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

• Thank you and goodnight

  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! Send us a textThe 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 The first episode was broadcast in August 2019.

• 3 days to the Arc of Attrition

  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! Send us a textThe 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 The first episode was broadcast in August 2019.
