Kia ora e te whānau. Jasmin Paris was rocketed into the wider consciousness when she became the first woman to finish Barkley Marathons, with 99 seconds to spare. Ironically, for a race that eschewed publicity for so long, the photos of Paris sending the final 100 metres or so to the yellow gate are arguably more famous than the Barkley itself.  Whilst this may be Jasmin's best known achievement, it's far from her only one. Spine winner, Bob Graham Round holder, fell running champion, senior lecturer in veterinary science, Mother and partner. Jasmin's life is full. Ali and Matt spoke to Jasmin about all this, and Green Runners, the organisation she co-founded with Damian Hall to advocate for, and address climate issues related to the sport of running and the wider world. We hope you enjoy this conversation, and are at least as stoked and inspired as we were.

We dive into sustainability in shoe brands and how he now finds himself rubbing shoulders with Damian Hall, The Green Runners, PairUps and other organisations who are pushing back on fast fashion.We also briefly talk about how his skills recently got him in trouble with a major brand and a very well known ultra-runner.......we'll mention no names, but you may already know who I'm talking about!With his partnership with Vibram, he's on a mission to get 1000's of more miles out of our trusty old daps!URS

David Starley is co-founder of The Green Runners, and was listed in the 2023 Edie 30 under 30 list for young people leading the way in sustainability.He's just achieved the Fastest Known Time for the Smuggler's Way in Cornwall, and continues to raise awareness about climate change through his activism and running.David and I discuss what more can be done in the race against climate change, going deep into the issues surrounding big businesses and decision-makers holding all the cards that determine the future of the planet.I ask whether change can ever come from the top or if we have to rely on future generations to sway policy-makers.Are we at the mercy of big oil, capitalism and big-bucks seeking millionaires, or is there still hope from those who can make their voices heard through community and mass-participation.Ultimately, we remain ever-hopeful and David believes that staying positive is the best course of action.His future plans? To continue making FKTs if it helps the planet!Follow David on Instagram @fitstarleyFind out more about The Green Runners at www.thegreenrunners.com

Send us a textOne of the things I'm always trying to do on this podcast is have people on it who have completed running challenges that we've not covered before and indeed many of the listeners might not have heard of.I first met Martin Elcoate at the Cornwall Running Show in 2023 when he was one of the volunteers on The Green Runners stand.And then earlier this year Martin appeared in a whole page article in Runners World featuring the amazing challenge he had undertaken starting at the beginning of 2024 involving a bespoke Ordinance Survey map and the 400 km² that surrounded where he lived.Essentially Martin's plan was to run through every one of the 400 squares all of which are 1km x 1km. Martin's dairy can be found on Instagram @martinelcoateMartin shares details of the challenge and also gives us an update on what's happening with The Green Runners including a crowdfunding campaign they have launched to enable them to employ a couple of people to help them massively expand their work. You can access and download the previous 156 episodes of this show via your usual podcast app or on the Running 44@60 podcast page. 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 over 140 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

Darren also crewed Dan Lawson on his successful Three Peaks world record run in August and talks about how that went, and what he gets out of helping other people.You can join The Green Runners at https://thegreenrunners.com and order your shoe fixing kit from Pair Ups here: https://www.pairups.co.uk/store/This week's podcast is proudly sponsored by Protein Rebel.Instagram: www.instagram.com/ultrasoundsystempod Playlist: https://bit.ly/ultrasoundsystemplaylist Email us: ultrasoundsystempod@gmail.com

I think it's a fantastic way of involving people all the way across Britain, and when I've taken part, it's been really positive: with the involvement of schoolchildren and local people in all the places that you're passing through.

And they don't really come much bigger than The Winter Spine Challenge - 268 miles on the Pennine Way in the depths of winter.   It's a non-stop event requiring participants to be self sufficient. The temperature barely gets above 0ºC, with knee deep snow and blizzards at times, and as if that's not enough the sleep deprivation can literally be a nightmare.

But they were so comfortable." Sleep deprivation and cognitive function - "I could see the red lines on my Garmin where I'd gone off the course and I was like bloody hell I am actually sleepwalking."   To find out more about Lucy please use these channels: Twitter @lucygoss Insta @lucygossage     Link to topics we covered in the show NHS Blog posts Lucy and I talked for quite a bit at the start about the NHS and she mentioned some blog posts she had written.

She's made history as the first woman to ever complete the notorious Barkley Marathons.

We also talk about her biggest moment of doubt.Although she eats a healthy diet at home, we talk about the kind of calories needed to get through the miles, and Jasmin talks me through what a typical training week might look like.We talk about how nostalgic Jasmin is now about her training and looking forward to getting back into it ready for new things ahead.Jasmin touches on the changes race directors could consider to encourage more female participation, including pregnancy deferral and better facilities generally.Taking action on green issues is something that Jasmin is passionate about, and we talk about her platform and how she has to combat her anxiety about social media to promote what she believes deeply about.Pledging to fly less, reuse kit, eat less dairy and speak out, we talk about what The Green Runners represents. Jasmin has turned down opportunities to races in Australia and Mexico due to her pledge not to fly.We discuss how policy change at a higher level is crucial, and although individual responsibility is important, collective change is crucial.She's ready for her next challenges and May brings more races for Jasmin.If you're interested in fell running, Jasmin gives her advice on how to get started too.Listen in to hear first hand from a record breaker and all-round superwoman!Find out more about The Green Runners at www.thegreenrunners.comFollow Jasmin on X @JasminKParis

Try running for a few miles, and then a few miles more, and then several hundred few miles more. That's proper endurance that is, the kind demonstrated regularly by Damian Hall: ultrarunner, climate activist, author, and all-round lovely chap.  He's the holder of the men's record for the 268-mile Spine Race, so he knows a thing or two about keeping going when things look grim.   And when it comes to climate change, heaven knows we need a bit of that.

In this episode, we chat with running legend Damian Hall, a record-breaking ultramarathon runner and athletics coach who has represented Great Britain and continues to achieve competitive results in some of the world's toughest and gruelling races.Damian is an experienced journalist and author of several books, including the award-nominated We Can't Run Away From This, which examines the impact of running on our climate and ecological emergency. Damian is also a passionate (and very busy!) climate activist, a member of several environmental organisations and initiatives, and co-founder of The Green Runners.Damian inspires any climate-conscious runner and prompts us to seriously consider our kit, food, and travel. Moreover, Damian helps us all identify - whether we are athletes or not - simple changes we can make to our behaviour for a cleaner, greener world and future.In this episode, we discuss:Damian's background and achievements in ultramarathon runningWhat sparked Damian's environmental activismDamian's latest book We Can't Run Away From ThisThe surprising ecological impact of runningPositive environmental initiatives within the trail-running spaceThe Game Changer Sponsorship Pledge and walking your climate talk as an athleteEmbracing imperfect climate advocacy and the inevitability of being a climate hypocriteThe sustainability of large-scale sporting eventsThe power of sports and athletes to influence and change societyThe Green Runners; A running community making changes for a fitter planetEstablishing Into Ultra to reduce the barriers to participation in ultrarunningThe importance of partaking in climate action for outdoor enthusiastsTo view all the links to the websites and documents, visit the show notes on our website.

On this episode of the podcast I speak to Damian Hall.This is Damo's third time on the podcast and we wasted no time getting into the nitty gritty of a few things that have happened in the last week, in the world of running and ultramarathons.Firstly Damo gives his personal thoughts on the sad news about the famous Sycamore Gap tree being felled overnight by vandals.We then talk about Adidas's new ‘single use shoe' and how the Green Runners are obviously most disturbed about it coming to market.After those two rants, we then get onto another hot topic……UTMB and their recent addition of Dacia as a leading sponsor.We even have time to talk about his recent 4th place at TDG and his training leading up to the Spine race this coming January.A great listen if you are interested in keeping up to date with what he and the other Green Runners are up to on our behalf.URS

Jump on in, it's only our season 8 opener. And yip, we're still bouncing after last weekend's Manchester success story! So, who better than to invite to the party to get our new season off to a flyer than the fella with the 2nd best mohawk in running, the one and only Damian Hall. After our usual intrepid intro Damo joins us and we cover plenty enough to get yir lugs tingling with glee. From his first foray into running right through to his most recent adventure at the Barkley Marathons. We get to the bottom of his running story; you did know he ran his first mara dressed as a toilet, right? With time spent on discovering ultras and the realisation that his body was capable of much much more than he first imagined. Damo lets us in on how he found adventuring ultra-addictive, bimbling along often with pals soon becoming his preferred leisure pursuit. Spine Races, the Barkley Marathons take centre stage for our middle segment before we move on to more important matters like bendy bodies, favourite trail snacks and of course his wee bromance with the tea dodger John Kelly. Lastly, yet most importantly Damo discusses his role within the Green Runners movement and shares his concern about environmental matters that he works so hard to raise awareness of and seek action against. It's something we can all do a little (or a lot) to help with even if that's just sharing a lift to the next race you're running. It feels over in a flash, and yet we have so much more to chat about. They'll be a part II to this one at some future point, we're only getting started with this tea loving, mohawk donning legend.

A big welcome back to the Young Hearts, Run Free podcast. We were thrilled to have the pleasure of catching up with the legend that is Jasmin Paris. She needs little introduction, so we dive right in to find out what brought Jasmin to where she is today, her intro to fell-running and how she found a love for ‘the longer stuff'. Still recovering from her very recent outing at the 2023 Barkley Marathons we're able to grill Jasmin on her 2nd experience over in Tennessee and just what it took for her to finish 4 loops of the daunting 20-mile (in Laz miles)) course. Whether you're a Barkley newbie or seasoned Barkley fanatic it makes for compulsive listening! We also chat plenty about Jasmin's iconic Spine Race course-record as she regales how she found her love for wild places and how she unearthed a world-class knack of moving effectively over tricky terrain. There's simply no doubting that last statement. Passionate about her role within The Green Runners, a movement she is proud to have co-founded, Jasmin enlightens us all in ways we can contribute to reducing our footprint, as their moto puts it ‘You don't need to be perfect, just keep improving by putting the planet first when making decisions'. It was a privilege to speak to Jasmin and we can't wait for you to get your lugs around this. ‘Messieurs, wiz zese bonus episodes you are really spoiling us…..'

Joy is…Imperfection.Damian Hall is a record-breaking ultrarunner, writer and activist, who has represented Great Britain at the Trail World Championships and competed in some of the world's toughest races. His attempt to break into the top ten at the 105-mile Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc was made into an award-winning film, Underdog; and the documentary Totally FKT followed him and John Kelly as they raced to break the 268-mile Pennine Way record in 2020. Damian has also set records on the Paddy Buckley Round, the South West Coast Path, the Cape Wrath Trail (with Beth Pascall), and Wainwright's Coast to Coast. Damian's journalism has featured in Runner's World, Women's Running and Trail Running and his previous books include In It for the Long Run, A Year on the Run and the official National Trail Guide to the Pennine Way.He is a UK Athletics running coach and is a founding member of The Green Runners, a community of runners working towards a fitter planet. His most recent book We Can't Run Away From This is an important and, indeed, vital examination of the impact of running in our climate and ecological emergency.Damian is a genuine, passionate and humble person and my assumption of him to be a 'thoroughly nice human' was not dispelled. This was an entertaining, thought-provoking and, at times, emotional conversation, and I hope that it inspires listeners as much as it did me. We discuss vulnerability; what 'challenge', 'competition' and 'toughness' actually look like; learning from failure; the meaning and strength of community; why we need collective action; speaking out; celebrating imperfection; puns; what inclusivity looks like, and, perhaps most importantly, his latest book and working towards a greener future for our planet.Damian Hall IG: @ultra_damoJoin: The Green RunnersReRun Clothing: www.rerunclothing.orgWhere There's a Hill- Sabrina VerjeeMore Fuel You- Renee McGregorBlack Sheep- Sabrina Pace-Humphreys Hosted on Acast.

On this episode I'm joined by Damian Hall. Damian is one of the UK's top ultra endurance athletes and has completed numerous FKTs and challenges including the 268 mile Pennine Way in a record-breaking time of 61hours 34 minutes. Damian is also a running coach and author of multiple books, including 'In it for the Long Run', which details his running journey and many adventures, including his Pennine Way record attempt. Damian is also a passionate environmental activist and co-founded the Green Runners, a running community that focuses on making the planet a better, and greener, place. We're discussing Damian's passion for running and how we can all be more sustainable as athletes.  Photo by James Appleton Photography.

I finally caught up with Jasmin Paris on the Isle of Jura the day before the eponymous race to chat about some of her more recent achievements. We start off with the iconic Isle of Jura Fell Race and what it means to her, before moving on to talk about The Green Runners. This is a new group set up with the aim of connecting runners concerned about the Climate Crisis, and helping to give them a united voice to try and foster change within running culture (in terms of reducing personal footprints of travel, kit and food) and the wider world (by speaking out and political change). Jasmin's running CV has a depth to rival the deepest Jura bogs (!) so I've tried to focus on a few of her more recent feats, namely The Spine Race and the Barkley Marathons. The Spine Race crosses a humungous 268 miles along the Pennine Way in mid winter, and in 2019 Jasmin bagged the overall record of just over 83 hours. There was rightly a massive media interest in this globally, celebrating Jasmin the mum as well as Jasmin the ultrarunner. I try to get into her process a bit; what gives her the grit and determination that she clearly has in bundles. We also discuss what it means to be a top woman in sport and how she balances running with family life. We finish by talking though some of the highs and lows of the Barkley Marathons ultra that Jasmin completed the 'Fun Run' 3 lap version of in March this year. This event has developed a reputation as a gruelling and esoteric 100mile+ event that only 15 people have every completed the full 5 laps version of in its 27 year history. With bush wacking in the dark, snowstorms and difficult navigation it's a full psychological assault, and we examine what resilience tools and tricks Jasmin employed.

Após mais de um ano sem maratonas devido à pandemia de Covid-19, os organizadores de eventos esportivos coletivos têm de reinventar suas iniciativas. É nesse espírito que a França realiza nesta semana a Green Runners Week, uma maratona individual para obedecer às restrições sanitárias, mas conectada: uma forma de reunir os participantes, mesmo que seja de forma virtual.  O formato da Green Runners Week é um tanto diferente da célebre Maratona de Paris, que até antes da pandemia ocorria nesta época do ano. No total, os inscritos têm sete dias para correr os 42,195 quilômetros que são contabilizados através do aplicativo Strava.  "É uma corrida virtual bem flexível. Os participantes puderam correr, por exemplo, 5 quilômetros na segunda-feira, depois 15 quilômetros na quarta-feira... talvez mais 10 quilômetros na quinta-feira e assim por diante. Queríamos que o desafio fosse acessível para todos", diz Edouard Cassignol, diretor da Amaury Sport, empresa organizadora do evento.  "Plogging": uma corrida ecológica Como o próprio nome do evento sugere, o desafio dos "green runners", os corredores verdes, não é apenas esportivo, mas também ecológico. Por isso, os participantes são convidados a recolher o lixo que encontram pelo caminho, uma prática chamada de "plogging", já incorporada na rotina de muitos maratonistas. "Nesta manhã, eu fiz um aquecimento de 3 quilômetros de corrida. Depois, em seguida, corri uma semimaratona de 21 quilômetros e isso deu uma hora e 50 minutos. Levo sempre comigo sacos para recolher o lixo. Ainda bem que eu uso luvas! Vou correndo e colocando tudo isso dentro do saco e depois jogo tudo isso no lixo", explica o francês Stéphane.  Atualmente, as regras sanitárias em vigor na França proíbem que as maratonas sejam corridas coletivamente. Mas nada impede que elas sejam praticadas em família ou em pequenos grupos que convivem entre si mesmos. É o caso da corredora parisiense Tina, que pretende encarar o duplo desafio: o percurso de mais de 42 quilômetros aliado à limpeza das ruas. "Pelos bosques e em Paris encontramos muito lixo no chão. E eu acho que, diante disso, todo mundo deveria assumir sua responsabilidade. Então, neste fim de semana, vou sair para correr com meus filhos e vamos fazer uma sessão de 'plogging'. Ou seja, vamos recolher o lixo enquanto corremos", diz. O baiano Rogério Sena é maratonista semiprofissional e está participando pela primeira vez de uma corrida neste formato. Para ele, a Green Runners é uma forma de superar os obstáculos da pandemia de Covid-19, mas também de manter o foco no engajamento ambiental.  "A gente treina muito, mas não está tendo provas já que elas foram suspensas temporariamente devido à pandemia, então, essa é uma maneira de continuarmos correndo. E o desafio ecológico já faz parte da nossa rotina. Já participei, por exemplo, da 'Corrida dos Oceanos', que é realmente para limpar, e a gente aqui em Paris sai em mutirão recolhendo o lixo nas ruas", relembra.  Maratona em tempos de pandemia Em tempos de Covid-19, Rogério explica que o sentimento de coletividade e união entre os corredores, típico das maratonas tradicionais, pode ser compartilhado através do aplicativo na Green Runners Week. "Através desse sistema, é possível saber quanto cada participante correu, quem está na frente, e a gente brinca muito para saber quem vai fazer o melhor tempo, quem vai chegar primeiro. Essas trocas ajudam para motivar e superar esse momento difícil que estamos passando", afirma.  O próprio maratonista viveu na pele dias complicados após ter sido contaminado pelo coronavírus. "Quando eu falo sobre isso, fico muito emocionado. Eu venci a Covid-19 mas, quando eu enfrentei essa doença, muitas coisas passaram pela minha cabeça. Eu jamais poderia aceitar que um dia eu tivesse que parar de correr devido à sequelas do vírus, o que a gente sabe que pode acontecer. Eu tenho uma boa saúde, uma performance cardíaca ótima, mas eu tive todos os sintomas e para mim foi muito difícil aceitar que eu estava naquela situação", relembra. Certamente Rogério não deve ser o único maratonista a correr a Green Runners Week após superar a Covid-19. Até o fechamento desta reportagem, a competição contava com 55 mil participantes. Os organizadores se deram o objetivo de reunir 60 mil corredores, como aconteceu na última maratona de Paris, realizada em 2019.
