Ian Lawton is back but this week he becomes an honourary man on the run as he steps into the interviewer seat along with Jon-Jo as the two put some tough questions to the now 2021 Manchester and Liverpool Marathon Champion - Matt Crehan. The guys get Matt to talk them through his Manchester and Liverpool victories, which took place only two weeks apart, they dive into his training schedule, his race day fuelling and Ian even brings with him a series of listener questions, so tie up your running shoes and get out on that long run and enjoy this interview with Matt Crehan! 

Two Men on the Run are back again, this week joined by GB Duathlete and Triathlete, Mersey Tri's Ian Lawton. Ian talks to the men about his early day's as a Liverpool Harrier and his time out of the sport after being told by a doctor he'd never compete again, before returning to take on not only running but adding swimming and cycling to the mix as well. The Men talk about the art of training and competing over three disciplines and managing time between all three, work and family. Plus as always the men ask Ian the tough questions on a couple controversial topics such as shoe and bike technology and possible 'short courses' in the Tri world!

Trigger warning : Infant loss, grief, depression, disordered eating, weight loss.This week I speak to father and ultra marathon runner, Ian Lawton.He lives in Navan in County Meath, is married to Jennifer, and is the father of two sons, Ike who's 12 and Hank who passed away 10 years ago, the day after he was born.In this conversation he gives us a profound insight into infant loss, and the pain of a bereaved father. Not alone does he speak about loss and grief but also about rebirth and moving forward with a newfound purpose.In a year, he went from being morbidly obese to becoming an extreme runner, which lead to him running 10 marathons in 10 days finishing on what would've been Hank's 10th birthday, this February.This September he turns 50, an age he wasn't expected to live to see, and he'll mark it by embracing the challenge of the 'Kerry Way Ultra', running the gruelling 200 kilometres through mountain passes, bogs, roads and trails.This was a deeply emotional and challenging conversation for him and I commend his rawness and willingness to be real.If you'd like to support Ian's fundraiser, simply click on this link… https://www.gofundme.com/f/10TEN10 and his website is www.runningforhank.comIf you like this podcast, please show your support by leaving a rating or a little comment on Apple and by clicking follow on Spotify, I'd be so thankful.

This inspirational episode is a very special simulcast with Ian Lawton's Workshed Podcast in Ireland!  Ian went through profound sadness following the passing of his 1 day old son Hank in 2011, which led to him exceeding 350 pounds.  Ian eventually found a support group, dropped to around 200 pounds, and began running, eventually completing ultramarathon distances.  Beginning on January 23, Ian will run 10 marathons in 10 days to honor Hank on what would have been his 10th birthday.  Plus, due to Ireland being in a Level 5 lockdown, he will complete these runs on a 400-meter track!  He's raising funds for bereaved fathers, so if you can help, there are links below to direct you to where to donate.Please contact Bill for more info about the We Are Superman Leadville Ten Warriors.  Bill is also requesting stories about how David impacted, changed, or saved your life to compile into a book for all to share and learn from.  Reach Bill at silly_billy@msn.com, on Facebook, or Instagram @stahlorIan Lawton's Workshed Podcast and Running for Hank (10 marathons in 10 days beginning on Jan. 23):workshedpod.comrunningforhank.com/10ten10gofundme.com/f/10ten10Instagram: @workshedpod #runningforhanklinktr.ee/workshedpod

In this episode, Stuart starts with a short interview of Ian Lawton, documentary film maker, and they look at his latest project The Dharma Bum. We then get stuck into a discussion of the academic world of Buddhist Studies and Secular Buddhism, exploring the role academia can play in informing Buddhist practice. We also look at the potential limitations of Secular Buddhism in its guise as Protestant Buddhism and end by making recommendations on where to go next in order to be enlightened by the more accessible academics. It probably sounds less fun than it actually is bu in the process Matthew invents some wacky theories and Stuart finally sounds professional, so that has to be a plus. Episode 5.2 will feature an interview with Jayarava, self-defined feral scholar, as a follow up and hopefully he will set us both straight on the role of academia in enlightening Buddhists.  Matthew O'Connell is a life coach and the host of the The Imperfect Buddha podcast.

Ian Lawton with soulseeds is my guest. www.souseeds.com Ian Lawton is a spiritual leader with a twenty year background in pastoral, change, and grief support. Being an author, as well as giving lectures internationally on spirituality, one of the greatest gifts that Ian offers on the Soulseeds site are his daily blogs. The blogs study and interpret many things in life, such as inclusive spirituality - a term that others like myself will grow more and more fond of as they read and listen to Ian. Meg Lawton is an elementary teacher, author, and artist who writes about being a mindful mother. She explores the hardships and ups-and-downs of motherhood, and how to maintain a great relationship while being able to raise our children with love - giving them the ability to love and enjoy life the way they were meant to. Meg's blogs are equally lovely and extremely educational, as she writes about the family, and how the spiritual aspects of the family are important. Motherhood is one of the most difficult jobs in life…and the most rewarding. And there is no gift greater for a child than to have a parent who loves them unconditionally, while at the same time understanding themselves enough to be a better parent every day. Meg's blogs are attracting a huge international community, where readers are all getting together online to infuse their lives with Meg's wisdom and kindness.

Interview with author and researcher Ian Lawton, hosted by Mark Chatterton for TheSpiritGuides.co.uk Ian Lawton, born in 1959, is the author of several spiritual books. He is also the architect of the notion of Rational Spirituality. After gaining a degree in Economics from University College, London and qualifying as a chartered accountant, he sold computer software for several years before, in the late eighties, helping to found a business and IT consultancy company. In his mid-thirties he forsook the commercial world to become a writer-researcher specializing in ancient history, esoterica and spiritual philosophy. His first two books, Giza: The Truth and Genesis Unveiled (2003), have sold over 30,000 copies worldwide. In The Book of the Soul (2004) he first developed the idea of Rational Spirituality, also establishing himself as one of the world's leading authorities on the interlife. And in The Wisdom of the Soul (2007) he first introduced the idea of the holographic soul. His other books include The Little Book of the Soul (2007), The Big Book of the Soul (2008, a complete rewrite of the 2004 book), Your Holographic Soul (2010) and The Future of the Soul (2010). The next two books planned are and The History of the Soul (a revision of the 2003 book) and Autobiography of an Angel (a debut historical novel). Ian has just completed the first stage of his training as a hypnotherapist, and has set up a practice at his home in Bournemouth. He also creates artwork using driftwood collected from local Dorset beaches. In the interview with Mark Chatterton, Ian Lawton talks about his books and how he became a full time writer. He talks about his research into Reincarnation, Karma and Past Life Regression, which he has written about in his "Soul books". He also talks about his latest book, "The Future of the Soul", which deals with the whole concept of 2012, the expansion of consciousness and the whole future of the planet. IAN LAWTON INTERVIEW QUESTIONS - 9/8/2010 You previously had a career in IT and accountancy. What made you turn your back on the 9 to 5 and become a writer? Had you any religious background before all this? Your first book, "Giza The Truth", was on the Egyptian pyramids. What made you choose that as a subject for a book? Did you get much reaction from the more traditional academics? I understand that it sold over 20,000 copies. Not bad for a first book? Could you tell us a little bit about your second book, "Genesis Unveiled"...

Ian Lawton is executive minister of C3Exchange: An Inclusive Spiritual Community, in Spring Lake, Michigan. Michael Dowd engaged Ian in conversation just two weeks before the scheduled removal of the 65-foot cross of this former affiliate of the Reformed Church of America. (Soon after, Ian was interviewed on Fox News about the controversy.) Independent since 1997, the congregation called Ian in 2004. Many more changes ensued, leading to the removal of the cross and a new identity in 2010. The former Christ Community Church is now C3 Exchange, and it is in the vanguard of liberal/evolutionary religious reform in America. According to his church profile, though trained at a conservative Anglican seminary in his native Australia, "Ian was always more interested in connecting with the people who don't go to church: the homeless people, the broken people, the creative people, the liberated people, the recovering people, the inquiring people, the family people, those who put their humanity before their ideology." A local news report on the cross removal quotes Ian as saying, "We honor the cross, but the cross is just one symbol of our community."  The news article explains, "Lawton gave a sermon March 21 likening using the cross as a symbol of Christ's life to using a bullet to remember Martin Luther King Jr." A community-wide meeting generated an outpouring of support for the way C3 is evolving. The C3 website offers an archive of all sermons online in audio or video format, and is accessible in podcast form as an RSS feed.  Note: If you google "Ian Lawton," the primary choices (including Wikipedia) pertain to an unrelated Ian Lawton who researches and writes books on spirituality, reincarnation, and past lives. That Ian is not our colleague Ian Lawton. Theme song "Holy Now" courtesy of Peter Mayer.
