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

In this episode recorded on December 12th we talk where we’ve got to training wise, how we getting on rounding up all the kit needed and plans for training in the next few weeks.

The Arc 50 is on Saturday January 25th 2025

It starts at the Minack Theatre at 8.30am and participants have until midnight to arrive at race HQ at the Eco Park at Porthtowan

This group is meeting again on January 16th 9 days before we go for it

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
