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