If you ever wanted to hear how strong is the link between nutrition and bone fractures, this is the story. We chat to Bobby Clay, former Under 20 European Champion in the 1500m, whose career took a sudden and unexpected turn. Many in the running community will already be familiar with Bobby's story after she wrote about her experience in Athletics Weekly in 2017. With the benefit of hindsight Bobby explains more about what went on at the time, what happened next, where she's at now, and most importantly the lessons that all athletes (or parents of young athletes) can take away from her experience. ** We want your feedback!

This episode features a paper given by Katie Holmes at the IHR on women's running. Until October 1975, women in the UK did not compete in marathons, nor were they allowed run in any other long-distance road races. Women's Amateur Athletic Association rules prohibited them from racing further than 6000m. Road racing was an almost entirely male preserve. In May 1964, Scottish runner Dale Greig competed in the Isle of Wight Marathon, a lone woman in a field of 67 men, with the permission of the race organisers. Her run was covered by the national press but did not act as a catalyst for change. By the early 1970s, more women were challenging the athletics governing bodies' rules and seeking to take their place on the start line at road races. These women saw themselves as long-distance runners and through their activism they asserted that identity for themselves and asserted the right of all women to run. In this paper, I will give examples of the varied ways in which women broke the rules. I will consider the wider meaning and impact of their activism in the context of changes in women's sport and the women's liberation movement in the 1970s. My paper draws on oral history interviews, contemporary coverage of the issue in Athletics Weekly and the press and archival research. Katie Holmes is a runner and independent sports historian from Nottingham. Her research into the history of women's distance running in the UK is driven by a desire to capture stories which might otherwise be lost and to recover, and uncover, stories which have faded out of the collective memory due to the marginalisation of women in sport. In 2020, she was awarded an Independent Researcher Fellowship by the Women's History Network for her research into Dale Greig. In 2022 she was awarded the British Society of Sports History Sporting Inequalities prize. She is a trustee of the British Society of Sports History.

Welcome to this special series of preview podcasts to celebrate the return of the Night of the 10,000m PB's.  From Monday to Friday there will be a brand new episode talking to key figures of the events past and future as we look forward to the return of the Glastonbury of Athletics on May 14th. The Big Run is proudly supported for this special Run of podcasts by Like the Wind Magazine. We have a bumper episode for you today with not one but FOUR guests. Who joined me on the phone to look forward to return of the Night of the 10ks.  First up is Peter Scott, a regular fixture at Lee Valley Athletics centre where he works, a former competitive athlete and lifelong friend of organiser Ben Pochee. He has been connected to the event since its start. His energy, mc'ing and outfits hyping up the crowd as the action unfolds.  The next caller on the line is Wendy Sly. Wendy is a British former athlete who won a silver medal in the 3000m in the 1984 LA Olympics and won the 1983 10km world road race champs in San Diego. She is now a non-executive director for British athletics and works as managing director for Athletics Weekly. From one AW key player to another, Jason Henderson has been joining The Big Run on our monthly episodes for the racing forecast. It felt only right to get him on the line to give his take on the elite fields for May 14th. You can read more preview action over on the AW website here:  https://athleticsweekly.com/ Hot on his heels and the man of the moment its Ellis Cross. I caught up with Ellis Cross to take stock of a different kind of 10,000m that captured everyone's imagination last week and what his hopes are on the track this Saturday. --------- With the support of Like The Wind Magazine and Select Imagery from Curated for Runners.   Like the Wind is an independent journal telling stories about running. Since issue 1, Like the Wind has been published quarterly, with 31 issues under its belt. It is sold mainly through subscriptions, to readers in 40 countries. The strapline of the magazine is: it's why we run (not how to run) and so there are no product reviews, training plans or nutrition tips. Instead, Like the Wind explores topics such as the environment, social issues (like racism or gender inequality), mental health and – quite often – the simple joy of running.  Like the Wind will be producing a special edition programme for Night of the 10,000m PB's for all attendees to the event on May 14th   Like the Wind can be found at www.likethewindmagazine.com where people can subscribe and on Instagram and Twitter as @likethewindmag.  -------- --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thebigrunpodcast/message

Too often we have a concept of how to train for a sport or event and use that as the starting point for the plan. We fit the athlete to the event. That works in some cases, but other times you need to fit the event to the athlete. In no event is that more important than the 800 meters, where athletes come from a wide variety of training and physiological backgrounds. On this week's episode coach Trevor Painter and former elite 800 meter runner Jenny Meadows join us to share some examples of fitting the event to an athlete, 800 meters training, and more.

In this twenty ninth episode of the season of the Her Spirit podcast BBC Breakfast presenter Louise Minchin and BBC Triathlon presenter Annie Emmerson talk to endurance runner Susie Chan.Susie has taken on races of all distances from 1 mile to 100 miles. It's been 10 years since I started running. It's something I love. You'll find me frequently on the running scene, especially ultra marathon.Races have included running the Marathon des Sables more times than any other UK female, breaking a 12 hour treadmill World Record in 2016 and enjoying running in some of the hottest places on earth.As well as the long races you'll find Susie at local races, half marathons and marathons including finishing all of the World Marathon Majors.Lucky enough to be named and “the number 1 runner to follow on Instagram” by Runners World, and the Evening Standard, she has been on the cover of Runners World, Women's running and featured in Athletics Weekly and other publications.Susie overcame Thyroid Cancer in 2017 and she talks to Louise and Annie about her battle. After Marathon des Sables she had a terrible cough. After a course of antibiotics it shifted. Presuming it was likely to be inhaled sand in her lungs, she thought nothing more. Fast forward to Chicago Marathon, and her cough had returned, this time far, far worse. Susie passed out at the finish line (six start medal still around her neck) this time, worried about it being something worse, she called the doctors. Doctors found a large tumour in her neck, and quite a shock to Susie. It was mighty impressive too, over 5cm. She lost half her thyroid with it. A histology report told us the lump as cancer.Her #BestYearYet tips for every woman are great and you can find them at www.herspirit.co.uk and by listening to this podcast.These podcasts have been made possible through the support of Medichecks www.medichecks.com and Sport England www.sportengland.org.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-316 – Matt Crehan - Graphic Running (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4316.mp3] Link epi4316.mp3 Support my Hood-to-Coast Relay for Cancer Research - https://finishcancer2015.everydayhero.com/us/chris-russell-hood-to-coast-for-cancer-research Intro Bumper: Hello, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, depending on where you find yourself physically located on the space-time continuum relative to the orbit, tilt and spin of this muddy rock. This is Chris your host and this is episode 4-316 of the RunRunLive podcast.   Why 4-316? Well, my current numbering scheme topology reflects the different incarnations of the RunRunLive Podcast over the last 7 years.  Some of these incarnations were due to new or failed technology, some because I just felt an inflection point creep up on me like stern, but stealthy, thief in the night.  So…this is version 4 of the podcast and the 316th official episode.  Anyhoo…the current version comes out every 2 weeks.  I try to get them out on Fridays because I know most runners have their long runs on the weekends.  I try to keep it under an hour in length so it fits into your workout.  I cover topics related to endurance sports that interest me.  I interview people related to this, and I salt in some life motivation and balance topics to assist you on your journeys. In today's show we chat with Matt Chrehan who has produced a graphic novel around the Prefontain story.  I was interested in this because, at least for me, endurance sports is a highly emotional and impactful endeavor – but this epic-ness tends to translate poorly into communication mediums, such as film.   In the first section we'll go into more detail on water bottles than you ever imagined could exist.  In section two I'm going to give you the race report on my first Olympic Distance triathlon – that I haven't done yet.  It's actually this weekend, but through the power of visualization I'm going to tell you how I win my age group.   I've had as great couple weeks of training since we last talked.  I feel strong.  I ran a nice 2-hour trial run in the big rain storm a couple weekends back and managed not to run into anything, hit my head OR fall down.  This past weekend was out 4th of July holiday.  I went down to my house on Cape Cod and got some excellent volume in.  Thursday I biked down to Chatham light, ran a 1.5 hour out and back on the beach and biked home.   I got a bit turned around on the ride home and the whole session ended up being close to a 2.5 hour brick.  I always get lost on the Cape because it all looks the same.  It's like those old Flintstones cartoons where they just repeat the background scenery to save money.  The Cape has no landmarks it's the same scrub oak and pine and cottages repeated on an infinite loop.   Saturday I did a 1 hour ocean open water swim across Pleasant Bay in Harwich.  It was low tide and I had some challenges trying to stay out of the boat moorings but not scraping my nose against the horseshoe crabs on the bottom.  Then I hopped on Fuji-San and spun out a 2 hour ride on the rail trail.  The rail trail was nuts.  Jammed with holiday traffic.  I was just trying to go for an easy spin and catch up on podcasts.  Whenever I passed a real cyclist they felt compelled to catch me and ride with me.  I guess when some old dude on a rusty old Fuji passes you on the rail trail you have to justify your roadie-credentials.   Then on Sunday I went out for a 2.5 hour long run in the heat of the day.  It was a bit rough, but good preparation for this weekend's tri.  So, yeah, around 8 hours of endurance training over the weekend plus yardwork and I got to spend some quality time with my wife.  I patched up the small tears that have been appearing in my wetsuit as I use it more.  I have a can of that “Seal Cement” which is this viscous black goop like roofing tar.  It's like that stuff they use up hear in the North East to fix the cracks in the roads. It works great on wet suits.  I made a bit of a mess with it, my application is not going to earn any artistic awards but functionally it does the trick.   … That sure sounds like a lot of activity as I read through it.   I get the sense that sometimes people think I'm a workaholic.  I don't think so.  I think that moniker applies to people who are out of balance in the way they pursue their work.  They subsume all aspects of their life to the mindless pursuit of work.  Mindless because they work for the sake of work and not because that work aligns with some purpose.   Workaholics try to lose themselves in work because they are afraid.  They are afraid to confront themselves, to look in the mirror and have to see themselves.  They use work and struggle as a mask or a drug to justify not engaging in life, because it scares them.  It's an addiction, and like any addiction it allows the addict to abdicate their free will to some other power.   I'm active.  I'm kinetic.  I don't like idle time.  I believe there is something worthy in spending yourself fully in a noble cause. But I'm not addicted to work.  I drive my own boat and I'm accountable for the direction of that boat.  I'm ok with the chaos of the ocean and the random winds of change that buffet upon it.   That's what I would like you to think about.  Why do you do what you do?  How does it align with your purpose?  How could you rebalance your life to find more positive stress?   I'll tell you a secret.  The times when I am most at peace, when I sleep soundly, are those times when I've executed well and fully some work that makes a difference.   And for that I am grateful.  On with the show! Section one - Running Tips Water Bottle Deep Dive - http://runrunlive.com/water-bottle-deep-dive Voices of reason – the interviews Matthew J.J. Crehan - www.mattcrehancomics.com On 30th May 2015, Matt Crehan Comics will release The Art of Running: The Steve Prefontaine Story, which tells the story of the legendary American distance runner Steve Prefontaine.  The Art of Running details Prefontaine's extraordinary life in graphic novel form for the very first time, from growing up in Coos Bay and attending the University of Oregon, to his visit to Munich for the 1972 Olympic Games, and his unfortunate and tragic death at the young age of 24.  Publication of the graphic novel was funded by a Kickstarter campaign in 2013 which raised £5,261 and helped to pay for the artwork and printing costs.  As Prefontaine always saw running as a work of art, his love of the sport is beautifully told through the graphic novel medium where the movement of running can be explored and detailed perfectly. The book will feature a foreword by British distance runner and 1974 European 5000m Champion, Brendan Foster CBE, and will be launched to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Prefontaine's death.  When asked about The Art of Running project, Matthew said: “I wanted to show the sport of track and field as a real art form, as Prefontaine always thought of it, and give athletes a book that was something different but also inspiring.”  The Art of Running is Crehan's first published graphic novel, his previous work included the re-launch of classic British comic character Alf Tupper: The Tough of the Track in the pages of Athletics Weekly, as well as having several short comics published by GrayHaven Comics and Ninth Art Press.

I've got lots of beans.  I've got a great crop of berries.  I'm going to get some apples because I managed to prune and spray this year.   My tomatoes and squash aren't doing very well, which is a disappointment.  And I've got a rodent problem.  Not the Chipmunks.  Not the rabbits.  I've got a population explosion of woodchucks.  They've eaten all my parsley and lettuce and even snacked on some of my cilantro.   They are quite brazen.  I've seen a momma and several babies hanging around the yard.  I moved my remaining parsley pot up onto my back deck and they climbed the stairs to get to it!  I decided to bring the fight to them.  Frist my wife and I had some fun throwing smoke bombs down the holes in the front lawn, which although I'm sure is quite useless, creates quite a show and makes you feel like you're doing something.  I brought out the big trap and baited it with apples.  I've caught two of the young ones so far.  You may ask, “What do you do with them when you trap them?” Well, I know it's bad karma but I was going to drown them in a water barrel.  I mean, I'm a tough guy.  I've watched several Al Pacino movies.   But when I tried that the trap was about 4 inches too long so instead I just gave it a nice refreshing bath as it clung to the top of the cage looking at me.   Now, as we all know, it's illegal to transport and release wild animals.  But if said wild animal just happened to be taking a relaxing ride in the back of my truck, for, you know, purely enjoyment purposes…and the cage just happened to be open when I parked at the trail head for my mountain bike ride…and that hypothetical wild animal chose to exit the cage and the truck at that point in time…well that's more a case of free will in action than the unlawful redistribution of gophers.  You'd think that old border collie that lives in my house might scare them off.   … Well it's getting late and I've spent too much time on this today.  I've got to go grocery shopping and pick up my mountain bike from the repair shop.   Don't forget to say yes to adventure and sign up for the Wapack Trail race on September 6th at the Windblown ski area in Ipswich New Hamshire and join me for some mountain running smack down fun.  http://wapack.freeservers.com/ … You remember Bruce Van Horn from a couple episodes ago?  I was listening to him recently and he did this bit about how he loves everyone.  He tells people every time they meet someone new to think in their heads “I Love You” and it will force you to have empathy in the interaction.   Well, being from the North East, we are not a very touchy-feely culture.  And the thought of telling random people “I Love You” cracked me up.   I tried this with some of my interactions during the day, and you know what?  It works for me.  It totally changes the interaction.  Not because I love anyone but the process of thinking it is just so culturally absurd it makes me laugh internally, which breaks me out of my frame, which pulls me into the interaction in a new light.   It's the equivalent of imagining everyone you meet with bunny ears.  It breaks your frame and allows you to approach the interaction unbiased.  Give it a try.  But don't try to hug me.  And I'll see you out there.  Closing comments Support my Hood-to-Coast Relay for Cancer Research - https://finishcancer2015.everydayhero.com/us/chris-russell-hood-to-coast-for-cancer-research Http://www.marathonbq.com http://runrunlive.com/my-books
