I had this idea to bring together a couple of ARC 50 2025 runners to talk about plans, thoughts, kit, etc…

That ‘couple’ quickly turned into six!

So a big thank to Richard, Anya, Himani, Tom, Nicky and Matt for contributing to this episode.

We talk about where we are with our training and plans - we recorded On Thursday Nov 8th so 78 days from the ARC 50.

Five of the group are running the Lighthouse Marathon on Saturday November 9th which is on the ARC 50 course starting at Pendeen.

We are meeting again on December 12th where we will catch on what has happened in the previous 5 weeks and will talk about mandatory kit, rules and regulations and our eating / drinking plans.

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.

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 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
