Podcasts about montane spine race

In January 2025, Lucy Gossage made headlines as the overall female winner of the Montane Winter Spine Race in Britain, a grueling 268-mile ultramarathon that pushes athletes to their absolute limits. Not only did she win, but she smashed her time from the previous year by nearly 19 hours—a staggering improvement that speaks volumes about her determination and skill.

Lucy Gossage ha sido la vencedora de la Montane Spine Race 2025 pero su triunfo comenzó mucho antes, tanto como justo hace un año, cuando tocaba el muro del Border Hotel en tercera posición. Ese momento de inmensa felicidad pronto desembocó en el caos en el que se convirtió su vida al descubrir que su pareja durante tres años, y que también participaba en la Spine Race, le estaba siendo infiel. El haber preparado juntos la Spine Race del 2024 y el amargo sabor que le dejó a pesar de su tercera posición fue el motivo que la impulsó a participar de nuevo. Quería partir de cero y poder recordar una participación en el Pennine Way conseguida sola y para sí misma. Una historia casi de película que compartimos, junto a Antonio Codina, en Sweet Home Alabama.

Rachel is in Lochaber where one of the biggest nature restoration projects in the country is underway. The Nevis Nature Network Project covers 22 thousand acres which includes fragments of Scottish rainforest and rare montane scrub. She met project manager Ellie Corsie for a walk to hear about their restoration vision.Mark is on Calton Hill in Edinburgh hearing about the challenges of repairing our historical buildings.

Imogen Shaw from the British Geological Survey tells him about their desire for more buildings to be built using Scottish stone to allow quarries to open here.Rachel delves into the history of the Newburgh on Ythan lifeboat, the oldest lifeboat station in Scotland. Charlie Catto has written a book about its history, and she met him at the station to hear about his research. She also hears about the plans of the Newburgh and Ythan Community Trust to take on the building and hopefully restore it to the condition it was in when it was first built in 1877.In the week where competitors took part in the 268-mile Montane Spine Race between Derbyshire and the Scottish Borders, we chat live to world record endurance cyclist Jenny Graham about why people want to take part in these kind of events and how she prepares for them.Mark is on Royal Deeside where a recent collaboration between Aberdeenshire Council and the Cairngorms National Park Authority has resulted in a new stretch of path being built. The Charter Chest Path links up the existing path network and keeps cyclists and pedestrians off the busy road. He went for a wander with Colin Simpson, Head of Visitor Services and Active Travel with the National Park.Back to the Nevis Nature Network Project where Rachel continues her walk with Ellie Corsie to one of the areas of montane scrub they want to protect.Phil Sime takes a walk around Ness Islands in Inverness in the company of historian Norman Newton.

Lucy Gossage, Nikki Bartlett and Bex Milnes share wonderful insight into Lucy's recent remarkable Montane Spine Race achievement which she conquered in January of this year during one for the worst periods of weather the UK got this winter. Professional triathlete Nikki and her partner Bex Milnes supported Lucy's endeavours with Bex capturing images and updates of Lucy on the Pennine Way, meanwhile, Nikki turned the images and information received into an exciting socials storybook of tales from inside the race, capturing the imagination and hearts of everyone eager to follow Lucy's progress as she embarked and conquered one of the toughest foot races in the world.  Stretching 268 miles or 431km from Edale in Derbyshire, England to the village of Kirk Yetholm on the Scottish Border on the Pennine Way, if you don't know where that is, then get out your map and check it out.  Lucy gives us a glimpse of just what her preparation for an endeavour of this nature entailed as well as great insight into how her race unfolded, although we gloss over some of the intricate and technical aspects of the race, we still get to understand the remarkable journey undertaken by the 14 time IRONMAN Champion as she ventures beyond her comfort zone into uncharted mental and physical territory, pushing her limits to the brink to discover her true capabilities. In this episode, Bex and Nikki share their own version of Lucy's journey with some snippets of what it was like for them to follow the race as they closely and cautiously tracked her progress to the finishline.  As the race proceeded on the Pennine Way for Lucy, another story was unfolding behind the scenes which, when unravelled, would have heartbreaking consequences for Lucy. Resilient and robust as she is, she faced the situation head on and began picking up the broken pieces one bit at a time as she concurrently recovered from what she had put her body and mind through to reach the finishline of the Spine Race.   As you can expect, bringing the four of us together for a chat, resulted in lots of high energy, fun and laughter, the power of sport and friendship between these three incredible women as they share their personal stories of this epic adventure will certainly put a smile on your face and I have no doubt inspire you to step well outside your comfort zone!  If you enjoy this show and want to find out more insight from Lucy about her Spine Race be sure to pop over to her website www.lucygossage.com If you wish to support Move Against Cancer you can click on Lucy's Just giving page  https://www.justgiving.com/page/lucy-gossage-spine-move and while you are here tuning into the podcast, why not check out the chats I had with Lucy (Ep 26) and Nikki (Ep 8) for the podcast in 2020 and 2019 respectively!

Un año más, la Montane Spine Race reunió todos los ingredientes que la convierten en el ultratrail invernal más brutal de Europa.

Marie-Ève Garneau est une marathonienne aguerrie qui voulait repousser ses limites dans cette épreuve hors norme. Annie Brouillette est une coureuse d'expérience qui s'attaquait à sa plus grande distance à vie, autant pour l'épreuve de 80 km que pour l'ensemble de l'événement par étapes. Franck Laigle est un Franco-Québécois qui a progressé hyper rapidement dans les ultras au cours des dernières années. Yvan L'heureux, qui en est à sa 4e participation au balado, est un spécialiste des distances XXL, lui qui a complété la célèbre Montane Spine Race (420 km), l'Eufòria (233 km), le Tor des Géants (360 km) et la TransPyrenea (900 km).

Jason chats to ultrarunner, Debbie Martin-Consani. Debbie was the first female finisher in this years Montane Spine Race, regarded as one of the worlds toughest endurance races. The spine race involves running 268 miles along the Pennine Way, with over 11,000m of climbing. Debbie finished after 104 hours of running or in her words, "forward propulsion". We chat about how Debbie got into running and then ultra running, what motivates her and of course what it takes to prepare and take part in the Spine race.You can follow Debbie on Twitter  @UltraRunDMC and Instagram @ultrarundmc. Her website is http://www.ultrarundmc.comYou can find out more about the Spine race via the website: https://thespinerace.com/   The Midlife Athlete podcasts are free and we hope our fans enjoy them.Click here to subscribe to our newsletter and automatically get our latest podcasts, blogs, offers etc into your inbox.You can find Midlife Athlete onTwitter @PodMidInstagram @mid_life_athlete Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Midlifeathlete)

Part two of our Montane Spine Race double feature - Chris and Jason are joined by Christopher Cowley, a highly accomplished ultra runner who made his Spine debut at this year's edition of the iconic race across the Pennine Way. With wins at the Hardmoors 160 and 200, Christopher came into the 2022 Spine Race with as much experience as you could possibly hope to have short of an actual completion or living on the Pennine Way itself. This episode is full of insights from a first-time finisher of the notorious 268-mile Winter gauntlet of a race. Christopher talks training, nutrition, what he'd do differently next time, advice for potential entrants, and the surprising amount of due diligence that went into that seemingly barbaric finish.Less pressingly, the trio debate the merits of the different varieties of chocolate buttons, and the Christophers labour a toothpaste analogy...To get in touch, email: thepod@run4it.com. Photograph courtesy of the Spine Race

We are cruising along in the home straight of Season 4 now, time to put the foot down? LET'S GO! We've a smile on our pus for this week's episode as we welcome along to the YHRF couch another brilliantly entertaining guest, Daniel Kershaw calls himself a ‘fun runner', now we aren't quite sure if you'll agree with his definition of fun, you'll need to listen in to find that one out! Daniel joins us to (mostly) speak about his recent adventure as he took part in January's Spine Challenger Race, that's 108 miles of the Pennine Way, part of the Montane Spine Race. But we couldn't let Daniel appear without uncovering a whole lot more! Daniel has a quite extra-ordinary running history. His trajectory from beginning to run in 2009 to where he is now is quite something, it's saw him participate in an eye-watering number of races. We find out what fuelled Daniel's raging fire. ‘How many marathons have you done Daniel?' WOW!! Then we are treated to a quite wonderful account of Daniel's Spine Challenger Race, it has highs and almighty lows and everything in between. Daniel articulates the whole experience in his own unique style, it was certainly a week in which he learned lots about the race AND about himself. It has quite the ending! So if you've every wondered about hallucinations late in ultra-marathon's being a thing, déjà vu biting your ass when you're on the last dribble of your emotional and physical energy or indeed where the remainder of Bill Duff's brick collection is waiting then you're in for a right treat! We think there is a thing or two to learn for everyone in this fantastic episode. So, let's get on with the havering…..ENJOY!

In the first of two episodes looking at the Spine Race, Chris and guest host Jason Kelly speak to Debbie Martin-Consani, who won this year's edition of the iconic 268-mile race across the Pennine Way on her second completion. This episode is stacked with insights from one of the most decorated and accomplished runners on the UK ultra scene, with a long list of podiums and formidable times dropped across well-tested trails both domestically and abroad. If you've ever looked at the 268-mile long slog stretching from the Peak District to Scotland and wondered what it takes to win such an unforgiving race, listen on...To get in touch, email: thepod@run4it.com.Photograph courtesy of the Spine Race

To kick off the new year, we're taking a look at the Montane Spine Race, a 268 mile, 7 day, winter ultra. Starting in Edale the race follows the Pennine Way through the Peak District, Yorkshire Dales, and into the Northumberland National Park over the Cheviots, finishing in Kirk Yetholm on the Scottish Border.To start, we hear from Montane athlete Debbie Martin-Consani, who came first in the women's field, moments after she crossed the finish line. Host, Daniel Nielson chats with Montane ambassador and running coach Howard Dracup, who this year took part in the Spine Challenger North Race and took an impressive third overall. Howard tells us about the nitty-gritty of the race and how he tackled his training.  And finally, we caught up with Eoin Keith, the overall winner, at the finish line.  

We did have a guest this week, then we didnae. Circumstances sometimes take a turn BUT you know us, we couldn't let a week slip by without an episode. And quelle surprise, we've plenty to chat about! So join John & Steven for an hour as we mediate over this week's various running news, happenings and inspiration. And it's been quite the week.... Taking top bill is our coverage of this weeks Montane Spine Race. Britain's most brutal race is in it's 10th year and is coming to a stonking end out on the Penine Way. We provide some commentary and updates on what has been another phenomenal edition as we watch 'the dots' making their impressive way towards the finish line Kirk Yetholm. We also introduce Pyllon Ultra's just announced Pyllon Exposure Dark, taking place on sat 29 January the 2022 version comes with a few new twists and all for tremendous awareness and fundraising causes! See link at bottom of show notes. This leads us to speak about some 2022 races we're both looking forward to, from Western States to Chatelherault! Maybe even some inspiration for our listeners in there? January is the month we make contracts and plans after all! We make time to hear about Steven's new relationship with Training Peaks, the app he's using to consume his new Pyllon Trax coaching plan. A bit of an explanation and his own take on how it's used. We also hear how early into his 'Boston Bound' training he's had to adapt to circumstances! You'll be glad to hear that we'll be back to normal guest service next week! But for now, enjoy this week's episode and remember, RUN FREE! ENTER Pyllon Exposure Dark here

In this month's podcast A quick update on the 2021 OS map cards from GarminSpine race – well done to all our customers who have taken part in this event.After we sung the praises of the OS app in a recent Podcast, in their wisdom they managed to undo any good work they had done just a few weeks later. We look at what they have done.Yet more units discontinued by Garmin, we look at a year where Garmin have certainly cleared the stable out.Stock availability – sorry I know it is a recurring theme, but a quick update on stock issuesAsk Ian – the questions you have been asking Ian over the past month The first thing on this month's Podcast is a look at the recent update on the Garmin 1:50k map card Last month we discussed that Garmin, after a very long wait, updated the 1:25k map cardIn the past month we also received and update of the 1:50k TOPO Great Britain PRO 1:50k map cardSo both map cards are now V2OS release ¼ of the country every year as a map update so cards get updated every 4 years but for some reason the 1:50k map card has been updated after 3 years.What changes on OS maps? You can buy the new map card as a standalone product on GPS Training and all new Garmin GPS unit bundles are now being shipped with updated map cards, unlike some other retailers The next thing on this month's GPS training podcast is a look back at the Spine race – well done to all our customers who have taken part in this event. The Montane Spine Race is widely regarded as one of the world's toughest endurance races. There are both summer and winter events and the summer event started on Saturday 19th June. In our 31st episode, we interviewed Paul Freeman after he completed the Spine Challenger race.A truly epic challenge that will test your physical resilience and mental fortitude.

They have now admitted that they have trashed it for the time being and accept it needs to be altered back to what it was prior their three app updates in March. That still hasn't been done. As we do have, I think, quite a few customers who use this app, it may be worth talking about it/other options that work?The next thing on the GPS Training Podcast is the end of the road for the Garmin Oregon 750 Another one bights the dust – This year we have seen the A number of units ‘discontinued' – Touch 25t, we still have the 35tGPSMAP 64sx and GPSMAP 66stMontana 610, 680 and 680tThen the Oregon 750tAnd then this week we saw the Garmin Oregon 750 be discontinued.

The Montane Spine Race has earned itself the moniker of Britain's Most Brutal as year after year runners have pitted themselves against 268 miles of non-stop racing along the iconic Pennine Way National Trail.  The self-sufficient race offers an expedition-like experience to those brave enough to take it on. Phil Hayday-Brown is one of the co-founders of the event, and with just a week to go before the 2021 Summer Spine Races, we chat about how the race came to be, just why it is so tough, and why people keep coming back, again and again, to try and earn themselves a Spine Race medal.  

Damian Hall, runner, coach, journalist, and author, comes on to talk about his new book, In It For The Long Run (out now from Vertebrate Publishing), looking at the rise of his ultra running career and recording breaking run along the Pennine Way in 2020. He credits an midlife crisis for getting him into ultra running. He has since gone on to finish 5th at UTMB, and podium at some of the toughest races such as the Montane Spine Race, Dragons Back, Highland Fling Race as well as winning The Ice Ultra, Lakeland Trails 55km, Ultra Tour de Monta Rosa. He also has a number of record and FKTs to his name, such as the Pennine Way, South West Traverse, Cape Wrath Trail, Paddy Buckley Round, South West Costal Path. He represented GB at the World Trail Championships. He is also well known environmentalist, even picking up litter and being plastic free on his Pennine Way Record.

Yvan L'Heureux, c'est un passionné contagieux. L'un projet n'attend pas l'autre et chaque fois, il a cette capacité à rallier les gens autour de causes extraordinaires. En 2014, en visionnant une vidéo de Gilles Poulin au Vermont 100, il est tombé en amour avec la course en sentier. Et au-delà des exploits sportifs, ce sont plutôt les connexions humaines qui l'ont charmé. Depuis, c'est cette quête d'expériences humaines qui le guide à travers son parcours. Celui qui ne considère pas comme un grand coureur a néanmoins complété parmi les ultramarathons les plus extrêmes au monde : Tor des Géants (360 km et 25 300 m D+), TransPyrenea (900 km et 55 000 m D+), Euforia (233 km et 20 000 m D+) et Montane Spine Race (419 km et 10 250 m D+). L'homme derrière le Défi Everest et le Big Wolf's Backyard Ultra se lancera cet été dans un autre défi issu de son imaginaire : une Kavale de 1 300 km entre Percé et Gatineau. Et il pourra compter sur un acolyte d'expérience reconnu pour son DNM : Richard Turgeon. Tous les détails dans l'épisode! Bonne écoute

So, instead of having an epic 5 hour long podcast we focussed on two things, the Montane Spine Race and Marcothon. Two topics Debbie is more than qualified to chat about!! Debbie's only race of 2020, yes she raced in 2020, was the small matter of 268 miles long. The Montane Spine Race starts in Edale in Derbyshire and finishes in Kirk Yetholm in the bonnie Scottish Borders following the Penine Way National Trail. It's run in deepest darkest January, so daylight is at a premium and the 2020 edition had a guest appearance from Storm Brendan. Listen to the tale of Debbie's race, it's truly inspirational. The second part of the show focuses on Marcothon!! The much-loved challenge of running either 3 miles or 25 minutes (whichever comes first) every day for the month of December. Debbie is the founder of this amazing movement. Hear from the source about how Marcothon came about, how it grew (and grew and grew) and how it pretty much fills a month of Debbie's time every year! Whilst simultaneously she trains for the Spine Race 2021, oh yes, Debbie is going back for more Spine tingling fun!! Grab a brew, go for a run, head out for a walk, whatever way you listen enjoy! Remember to give us a follow and chat to us over on our social channels Instagram and Twitter Some links relevant to the show - Spine Race - https://thespinerace.com/ and Marcothon Facebook Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/284884195701656

Thanks so much to Montane Spine Race director and co-founder Phillip Hayday-Brown for taking time out of his at the moment very stressful pre-race schedule to share with us the latest news on the 2021 event. Originally on YouTube here https://youtu.be/Z5z7e9VG3h0 Will the January government guidelines allow the 2021 Montane Spine Race to take place at all? If so what precautions and restrictions will there be on this 268 mile race along the Pennine Way to keep runners, marshals and the medical team safe? We also cover more light topics like how the Spine Race was created, what it takes to put on such an epic event in the middle of the mountains in winter, Phillip's best and worst memories as RD, and what drink you can buy him in the pub to celebrate a successful Spine race!   ----   Support me on Patreon for perks & prizes https://www.patreon.com/WildGingerRunning   Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wildgingerrunning/   Get a Wild Ginger Running t-shirt or buff here https://wildgingerrunning.co.uk/shop/   Book a place on my beginner - intermediate trail running training camp here https://wildgingerrunning.co.uk/trainingcamp/   Run in the 100-mile UTMB course over 6-days from Chamonix with me here! https://www.tracks-and-trails.com/holidays/mont-blanc-ultra-trail-wild-ginger-running

John Kelly holds a spot in the Guinness World Book of Records, is a Chief Technology Officer, and is the 15th person to finish the Barkley Marathons. John shares stories on how he trained for the Montane Spine Race, surviving the Barkley, and how he still has time for family at the end of the day. Who is John Kelly? John Kelly is an ultrarunning data scientist, father of three with a former triathlon habit. He is the Chief Technology Officer of Envelop Risk, and to support his ability to do that day job with a clear mind he runs, bikes, and hikes. He also used to be a pretty serious water skier and World of Warcraft player.John has been running most of his life. In high school he was a good, but not a great runner. During college and grad school, John essentially took a full decade off from the sport. After grad school, he rediscovered his love of the mountains on a road trip out west that included hiking the John Muir Trail with his incredible wife Jessi.John ended up running the 2013 Marine Corps Marathon, and it was an absolute disaster. It was his first race in 10 years, his longest race by 20 miles, and his training had been horribly insufficient. Of course, immediately after that, John said, “I think I can do better” and signed up for another.John has always been a math and computer person who enjoys finding patterns and automating complex processes. An opportunity at a startup, where there was less bureaucracy and John would have more influence over research and applications, was something he couldn’t walk away from. In the summer of 2015, around the same time that he got serious about ultrarunning and triathlons, as he made the jump to become the Director of Analytics at QxBranch, a data analytics startup in downtown DC. That startup partnered with a company in the UK to create another startup, Envelop Risk, that could better deliver that product to customers and insurance partners.Highlights[3:30] Setting a world record[7:30] The appeal of data science[9:55] Returning to running[15:44] Thriving at the Barkley Marathons [22:30] How ultra resilience transfers to everyday life[30:06] The biggest mistakes people make with marathons[36:15] John’s training regimen[43:50] Sleep optimization for performance endurance[49:45] Use data in the training[55:38] Maintaining work-life balanceResourcesThe Barkley Marathons DocumentaryBarkley MarathonsUpper Kelly CampDavid Roche -Training For Busy AthletesGarmin Forerunner 945The BibleSponsorsCAR.O.LYou don’t have time for that 45 minute jog.

Fell runner Jasmin Paris made headlines when she became the first woman to win the gruelling 268-mile Montane Spine Race outright. Dubbed ‘Britain’s most brutal’ running event, it takes place in the depths of winter and sees competitors running the entire length of the Pennine Way – mostly in pitch black darkness.In this episode, Rob Pope chats to Jasmin about what it took to finish the race in 83h 12m 23s – 12 hours faster than anyone of either sex had before. From tactically deciding when – and how much – to sleep, to ensure she stayed ahead of the pack, to how, mentally, she coped with the very, long and difficult sections of this desperately lonely race.Still breastfeeding her 14-month-old daughter, Rowan, at the time, Jasmin also touches on the logistics of having to express breastmilk at the race's various checkpoints along the way but, describes how, despite the media attention this gained at the time, "it really wasn't such a big deal".Jasmin also provides her view on why women are more competitive with the men when it comes to ultra-distance running – but explains why she, personally, doesn't see herself as 'superhuman'.Listen to all episodes and discover more about How to Be Superhuman at http://redbull.com/superhuman

In January 2020, John Kelly became the founding member of the most exclusive club in the world.  A club reserved for people who have finished both the Montane Spine Race and the Barkley Marathons, two races with a reasonable claim on the title toughest-in-the-world.  What's more, is that he joined that club having won both races having crossed the line at the end of a particularly weather-beaten Spine Race in the 2nd fastest recorded time. In the latest episode of Everything Endurance, Will 'Baldlygo' Roberts chats with John Kelly about his journey into running, his Barkley win and how to survive sleet, snow and sleeplessness on the Pennine Way.  

Eoin Keith has been running ultras since the late 90s but shows no sign of slowing down. In his illustrious career as a runner of immense distances, Eoin has excelled in ultra and adventure racing as well as 24hr and 6-day running events, but is best known for breaking the world record for the fastest crossing of Ireland on foot (550km in 3 days, 3hrs and 47 minutes) and for his multiple podiums, and overall win in 2016, of the Montane Spine Race. Here he chats to Will and Kris about sleep deprivation, motivation and what he has learned during his many successes on the Spine.  Everything Endurance is back with another run of episodes featuring some of our most awesome guests yet.  Don't forget to like, subscribe and review this podcast wherever you're getting it from.  Spread the word and help us bring you more episodes and more amazing guests.

Hello and welcome to Further, Faster in association with Montane. My name is Daniel Neilson and in these podcasts, I speak to athletes, explorers, mountaineers and climbers and ask why they do what they do, why they put themselves through such strain. In this special episode, I spoke to John Kelly. You may have heard of him recently, as he's just won the Montane Spine Race, a non-stop 268-slog across the country, and generally regarded as one of the hardest endurance races in the world. And then you learn that John also finished the infamous Barkley Marathon – watch the Netflix documentary if you haven't heard of it. He is only the 15th person in its history to do so. So how does he do it? And why? If there's something we've learnt over the last couple of years making Further Faster, is that everyone has a very different approach. Listen in.

Welcome to this month's GPS Training podcast, it's our 31st episode. In this month's we again have Ian and me Jon, both from GPS Training and we have an interview with a special guest an amazing individual called Paul Freeman.Have you been up to much Ian over the past month? So, without further ado let's get on with today's podcast …… This months Podcast is going to be slightly different - · We are going to start off with an interview with Paul Freeman, who has just completed the 108 mile Spine Challenger race. · · We then have Ian's FAQ's, the frequently asked questions Ian has answered whilst supporting our customers or on some of the GPS Training courses he has been leading. To start this month's Podcast, let's listen to my interview with Paul Freeman Paul Freeman, one of the Shepherds Walks guides (parent company of GPS Training), who also leads our Map and Compass training courses for Shepherds Walks participated in this year's MRT Challenge, he is raising money for Northumberland National Park Mountain Rescue. There are three races that make up the Montane Spine Race, if you don't know the Spine Race is a continues race (i.e you walk/ run through the day and night) along the Pennine Way and if that is not hard enough in it's own right, you do this in January. The three races are - Montane Spine Challenger - 108 miles in length Started Saturday 11th Jan 2020: 8.00 amMontane Spine MRT Challenge – 108 miles (open to serving Mountain rescue team members) Started Saturday 11th Jan 2020: 9.00 amMontane Spine Race – 268 miles in length Started Sunday 12th Jan 2020: 8.00 am On each of the three races there are time limits to complete them. Paul is navigating this epic journey with a SatMap Active 20 GPS unit with Platinum mapping (1:10k, 1:25k and 1:50k). He has in the build up to the event been on both our SatMap GPS training courses (in the Lakes and Northumberland) and also has attended number of our online webinars. So, last week I caught up with Paul in the GPS Training office, he had his medal with him and I hope you agree it was a truly inspirational, open and honest chat with him.

After 3 years of working towards it, in January 2020 I (Kev) attempted The Montane Spine Race! 268 miles of tough trails, with a heavy pack in brutal mid winter conditions! Dropping out after 120 miles sets a new furthest distance covered but was obviously not the desired outcome. So many lesson's learnt and the best of all how great the trail / ultra community are. So many positive messages about how good it is to see people taking on something so challenging and giving it a proper go. Don't be afraid to "fail"! What a wonderful community we have. In this podcast Kim comes along to ask the questions about all aspects of the race and my (Kev's) experience at trying to go over 200 miles and trying to compete in The Spine Race. Thanks Kim!  Many thanks to Harshan Gill of Peak Exposure for the excellent picture! https://www.facebook.com/harsharngillphotography/

In this episode we take a look back at what happened in the running world in 2019 -the records, breakthroughs, and bizarre, unbelievable, and inspirational stories that made headlines. 2019 Year in ReviewNew Records: Sub 2 Hour Marathon In his second attempt at breaking the two-hour barrier in the marathon, Eliud Kipchoge of Kenya accomplished the feat with a time of 1:59:40 in Vienna in October. The performance was not an official world record with the use of 41 pacemakers and because Kipchoge was handed his drinks from a bike. But it stands as the fastest 26.2 in history. Kipchoge also holds the official marathon world record of 2:01:39, which he ran in Berlin in 2018. He is quoted in Runner’s World as saying “I wanted to send a message to the world. No human is limited.” New Women’s Marathon Record On October 13th 25 year old Brigid Kosgei of Kenya made history when she won the Chicago Marathon in 2:14:04. She broke Paula Radcliffe’s 16 year old record. photo credit: Track and Field News New Men’s Half Marathon Record Geoffrey Kamworor of Kenya shattered the world record at the Copenhagen Half Marathon in September by running 58:01 (a 4:25 min/mile or 2:45/km pace). The performance was 17 seconds faster than the previous record. The 26 year old distance star went on to prove his legs were capable of more later in the year when he won the 2019 New York City Marathon. Age Group Win for Joan Benoit In 1979 Joan Benoit Samuelson was a 21 year old college student and set a national and course record when she won the Boston Marathon. Now age 61 (40 years after her victory) her goal was to run within 40 minutes of her winning time at the 2019 Boston Marathon. In April at the Boston Marathon the 1984 Olympic marathon champion wore a similar singlet to honor her 1979 win and crossed the finish line in 3:04, exceeding her goal. “To be here, 40 years later and being able to run, let alone being able to run a marathon, I feel blessed,” she said in a Runner’s World article. In October Camille Herron won the International Association of Ultrarunners 24-Hour World Championship. She covered 167.8 miles in 24 hours and led the U.S. to an overall team victory. Earlier this year in January she survived a near fatal rollover car accident and came back less than two weeks later to win the Tarawera 100 Miler in Rotorua, New Zealand in a new course record of 17:20:52.World Best 24-hour Run for Female Runner photo credit: @jetlineactionphoto First Woman to Win Big’s Backyard Ultra Maggie Guterl became the last runner standing in Big’s Backyard Ultra race by running the same 4.2 mile trail loop for 60 hours. The Colorado native ran 250 miles during that time to becoming the first woman to win the race that rewards the person who can run for the longest amount of time. A Runner’s World article quoted her as saying, “When I finished, a woman came up to me and said, ‘I didn’t want to tell you this, but you were running for all of the women and an entire gender,’” Guterl said. “That was in my head the whole race and it was so surreal when I was the last one standing.” Fastest 10 Marathons in 10 Days Mike Wardian set a Guinesses World Record for the fastest 10 marathons in 10 days with an average time of less than 3 hours for each marathon. He also holds the record for the World Marathon Challenge with the fastest 7 marathons in 7 continents in 7 days. New Course Record at Western States Ultrarunning star Jim Walmsley maintained his Western States winning streak when he broke his own course record in June. Running 100 miles from Squaw Valley to Auburn, California, Walmsley finished in 14:09, breaking his own course record by more than 20 minutes. His roommate Jared Hazen also came in under the course record in 14:26. Walmsley also had some other amazing achievements this year by qualifying for the Olympic Marathon Trials in January, breaking the 50-mile record in May, and winning the 42K at the World Mountain Running Championships in November. Nick Butter became the first person in the world to run a marathon in every country. This was an unparalleled feat of logistical and physical endurance. You can hear our interview with him on episode #304. Notable and Interesting News One of the biggest gear trends this year was the evolution of the Nike Vaporfly shoe with the curved carbon fiber plate. There has been a lot of buzz about the Zoom Vaporfly 4% and this year they released the Next% with 15% more foam in the midsole. After the shoe was released this year it quickly became the fastest shoe on Strava, clocking up an average pace of 5:02 /km (8:06/mile). 32.7C (90.1 degrees F) was the temperature during the women’s marathon at the World Championships in Doha. Twenty-eight athletes pulled out in total because of the extreme heat. 1 billion pounds is The London Marathon’s overall fundraising total since its inception in 1981. Their motto this year was “Thanks a billion!” We appreciate everyone who donated as we raised money for a MTA forever forest for the John Muir Trust in Scotland. Cynthia Arnold, age 35, of Montana ran a time of 3:11 (7:20 min/mile or 4:32/km pace) at the Missoula Marathon while pushing a triple stroller with her three kids (a total weight of 185 pounds). The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency banned Alberto Salazar, the famous track coach of the Nike Oregon Project and former marathon champion, for four years. The USADA says Salazar was involved with trafficking testosterone, infused a prohibited amount of L-carnitine, and tried to tamper with doping controls. Mary Cain comes out with allegations about the questionable coaching techniques of Alberto Salazar related to weight shaming. This resulted in her dealing with some serious issues with depression and quitting the Nike Oregon Project team. A bright side to what she went through means that it is bringing to light problems with abusive coaches and sponsorship deals. More athletes are talking about mental health and eating disorders including Amelia Boone who openly shared about her long-time eating disorder and the treatment that she’s gone through. Another Nike related controversy that was brought to light was their pregnancy clause in contracts with women athletes. Alysia Montano shared an issue few knew about. Female athletes were being punished for getting pregnant. Montaño said that when she told Nike that she wanted to have a baby, the brand told her it would pause her sponsorship deal and stop paying her. She left Nike to sign with Asics, who she said also threatened to stop paying her during her recovery after childbirth. Other athletes including Allyson Felix and Kara Goucher have also spoken out about what they experienced. Nike has said that it would waive performance-pay reductions for 12 months for athletes “who decide to have a baby” and will add terms that reinforce the policy for female athletes into contracts. Shalane Flannigan announces her decision to retire from elite running. Gabriele Grunewald, pro middle distance runner, who trained and raced through treatment for a rare cancer, died in June at the age of 32 in her home state of MN. She inspired fans with her message of hope and resilience and that it was okay to struggle. She is quoted in Outside Online as saying, “In my previous cancer experiences, it wasn’t easy but I tried my best and I was able to do so many things that I would not have done had I just given up on my life when it was hard. So I guess my message is that it’s okay to struggle, but it’s not okay to give up on yourself or your dreams. My story is about cancer, but anybody has tough stuff in their life.” Her message and the mantra “Brave like Gabe” continues to inspire runners to be their best and her husband Justin plans to continue her foundation Brave Like Gabe. photo credit: bravelikegabe.org Kara Goucher debuted in trail races with the Leadville Marathon in Colorado. Bouts of vomiting from altitude sickness made the Olympian consider dropping out but she pushed through for a fifth place finish and first in her AG with a time of 3:54. She calls it the “hardest thing I ever accomplished.” The movie “Brittany Runs a Marathon” was released this year. It’s a drama/comedy about a woman who gets a wake up call when she realizes how unhealthy her body and lifestyle have become. With a motivation to lose weight she starts running with the eventual goal of completing the NYC Marathon. The Bizarre and Unbelievable 31-year-old Travis Kauffman from Colorado was trail running when he was attacked by a mountain lion. He managed to fight back and killed the lion in self-defense. The attack required 20 plus stitches to puncture wounds on his face, legs, and arms. He gave an interview 10 days after the attack and said that he’s recovering well, has been running three times since the incident, and has been back to the scene of the attack. In June a trail runner was attacked and gored by bison in a Utah State Park where he has run hundreds of times. One animal impaled Kyler Bourgeous with its horns and left hoof prints on his back and head. “I thought I was gonna die right there” he said. “I thought my situation was just a freak accident,” Bourgeous told The Washington Post on Monday night. “But apparently, they’re a lot more aggressive than I ever thought.” After recovering from a collapsed lung and cracked rib he worked up the nerve to return a few months later bringing his girlfriend Kayleigh Davis along for a hike. Unfortunately she became the park’s second bison attack of the year. An enormous animal turned on her and charged, throwing her about 15 feet in the air. Although in tremendous pain, she tried not to move or make any noise once she hit the ground. “He was hanging over me, sniffing me for a minute, and he was digging like he was about to charge again,” Davis said. When Bourgeous found her, Davis was bleeding from her left thigh, where the bison had gored her. She had also broken her right ankle, ruining her plans to run in a spring half-marathon. She was airlifted to a local hospital. Kyler said he’s not sure he’ll ever return to the park. Caitlin Keen, age 26, was running along Fort Worth’s Trinity Trails when a pit bull mix attacked her. The dog repeatedly jumped on her and bit her on the back and arms before a passerby was able to rush to her aid and subdue the dog. The attack caused injuries requiring 21 stitches in six spots. After healing up Keen stayed focused on her goal races which includes looking forward to the upcoming US Olympic Trial marathon. A running club in Philadelphia helped chase down an alleged thief near the University of Pennsylvania during their midday run. Runner’s World reports that the Annenberg Lunchtime Running Group saw a “very fast man” sprint by them, “probably running a 7:15 pace,” said group member Kyle Cassidy. But they quickly realized the man had allegedly stolen a phone and laptop. “We all looked at each other and sprinted off after the person,” Cassidy said. Other members in the running club gave chase and the running group tracked the man down on the streets of Philadelphia. The chase ended when the suspect ran into the path of responding University of Pennsylvania officers. “We heard the first officer yell to the other officers, ‘It’s a running club,’” Cassidy said. “‘This guy tried to run from the running club.’ People were shocked when Harvard University junior Kieran Tuntivate managed to win two races in this year’s Ivy League Heptagonal Championships, despite an injury that left him with a large open wound on the bottom of his foot. Tuntivate, age 22, was in the first lap of a 3,000 meter race at an indoor meet when another runner stepped on his foot causing him to lose a shoe. Runner’s World reports that Tuntivate, who’s been running competitively since age 12, said he only had two options in the moment: stop to recover his shoe and likely lose the race or keep running and risk an injury. He decided to keep going and he ended up winning the race without his left shoe. But the victory came at a bloody and painful price. “It felt kind of natural at first, but I kind of expected it to start hurting eventually with the really abrasive surface of the track,” Tuntivate told ABC News in an interview. “Around 2,000 meters — about two-thirds into the race — is when it really started to hurt.” Tuntivate said he lost a lot of skin by running on what “felt like sandpaper.” He said his doctor compared the skin loss to what one experiences after a third-degree burn, but he didn’t let it stop him and managed to win in the 5,000 meters event the following day. Anna McNuff of the UK took on a huge adventure by running nearly the whole of Britain barefoot! She posted this on Facebook, “A total of 2,352 MILES RUN (equivalent to 90 marathons) from The Shetland Islands to London, in my bare feet.” photo credit: Anna McNuff The Inspirational Ernie Lacroix celebrated his 100th birthday at the Cowtown 5K in Fort Worth, Texas. This was the 20th year in a row that Lacroix completed the 5K race. Lacroix ran with his family and friends under the team name Smoky’s Posse, named after the plane he flew during World War II. Lacroix flew 76 missions in a B-25 Bomber over Italy and France during the war, earning him the Flying Cross medal. “I have no idea of what prompted me to give the Cowtown a go,” Lacroix told Runner’s World. “I knew beforehand that I didn’t have a chance to win anything, but all the people obviously enjoying the competition looked like fun, so I gave it a go. I can’t think of any other reason.” Running (or walking, as he refers to his not-so-brisk pace) was not something Lacroix has always done, though he did exercise a lot while in the Army Air Corps during World War II. Now, at 100, he says he is “in the worst shape of (his) life at the present time”—but he is looking to see what he can do to change that. photo credit: Rick Irving It’s tough enough to push one child in a running stroller but imagine pushing five children. 37 year old Chad Kempel did just that at the Surf City Marathon in February. The father of seven pushed his quintuplets to the finish line in 5:45 and then continued for a total of 27.3 miles to honor the amount of weeks that his wife carried the quintuplets before they were born prematurely. When the babies were born in 2018, they each only weighed three pounds, and had to be immediately treated with oxygen and feeding tubes to survive. The quintuplets’ fragile health conditions required them to stay in the intensive care unit for 73 days, Kempel said in a Runner’s World article. “It was a long, scary pregnancy, and even after they were born, we couldn’t rest. Finally, we were able to take them home, but then our schedules just got busier. It’s been a long, crazy year, between parenting and working and finding time to run.” To train for the Surf City Marathon, Kempel woke up each morning at 4:00, put on his running clothes plus a headlamp and reflective gear, and then left the house at 4:30 to run. During the race he had to deal with making sure the babies weren’t hungry. He said, “My biggest concern was how many diapers I’d need to change.” Luckily, the dad had the genius idea to dress each baby in two diapers, so when one was soiled, it could be quickly ripped off and the other could slide in place. “It was smooth sailing.” photo credit: Chad Kempel 49 year old Dave Mackey was an accomplished ultra runner until a fall while running left him with a tibia broken in eight places. Due to complications and continual pain he chose to have a below the knee amputation. Since then he’s been building back his running and completed the Leadman series last year. This year he ran the Leadville Trail 100 in 25 hours, 54 minutes, roughly six hours slower than his pre-injury 2014 time. Mackey says in Outside Online, “I just want to get out there and make the most of it. I’m more appreciative now of every individual run or ride. Or skiing with my kids. It feels so good. With the accident I had, I could’ve died.” There’s a new film out about his story called Leadman. British ultra runner Jasmin Paris wins a 268 mile race at the Montane Spine Race (which traverses from England into Scotland on rugged terrain). She was the overall winner by over 15 hours with a time of in 83 hours 12 minutes. There were 126 other athletes who also battled rain and 50 MPH winds. But she only stopped for 7 hours total to eat, sleep, and pump breast milk as she is still nursing her baby girl. All athletes were required to carry their own supplies and navigate which adds to the challenge.

This week my guest is Jasmin Paris. Jasmin is a record-breaking mountain and fell runner, who has dominated in UK and international sky running, fell running and ultras for the past few years.I first came across Jasmin following her incredible achievement when she won the Montane Spine Race earlier this year. Not only did she set a new race record running 268 miles across the Pennine way, she was a new mum at the time with a young baby who she expressed milk for along the way! Super inspiring! In this episode I chatted to Jasmin about how she achieved this incredible record run as an athlete but also as a mum.We talked about her approach to training and health while balancing motherhood, her career and life. She shared her experience of motherhood journey as an ultra-runner. We talk Postnatal recovery and regaining her health fitness after the birth. Jasmin shares m her pre-baby expectations how they matched up to reality. Jasmin shares an insight into her pregnancy and birth experience and tells us how she was running pretty much up to the birth.We discuss what a day in the life of a runner mum looks like and how she fits it all in? I love how Jasmin describes her daughter as 'her teammate', we also talk about her network or support.We talk about motivation and what gets her up in the morning, Especially after a disrupted night’s sleepWe discuss her breastfeeding experience, particularly expressing and feeding her daughter during the spine race. Jasmin shares some words of wisdom to all the mum’s out there who would love to improve their health and fitness, get into running or maybe achieve a new race goal.This is a really awesome and inspiring conversation. I hope you enjoy it. Jasmin’s blog can be found here:http://jasminfellrunner.blogspot.com/ 

In this episode, we meet a remarkable character. He has completed some of the most difficult races in the world, including only recently the Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra, the 430-mile course, and the Montane Spine Race. So far, so impressive, until you learn that he often ‘doubles’ the race. Having completed the Spine Race he simply had a break, turned around and did it all again. Incredible!Yet speaking to Javed Bhatti, his attitude isn’t as crazy as it first seems. There’s a logic to the ‘doubling’, there’s a logic to his preparation, there’s an exploration of the body and mind, and from that and there are deep learnings for him and for us. He’s a buoyant chap, an entertaining and insightful conversationalist, and full of information and inspiration.The rules of the game are ever so slightly different for Javed, and from that, we can all learn. There is so much more we could have chatted about, and in time we probably will, but in the meantime, pop on your running shoes or kick back and listen to the enlightening story of Javed Bhatti. Listen in.

Lisa is a friend of the show and inspirational middle of the pack to back of the pack ultra runner. Since sharing her epic story on episode 4 Lisa completed her 50th Marathon / Ultra on her 50th birthday! What can you do after that? Lisa took on the 268 mile Montane Spine Race, an unsupported ultra in the middle of winter! Kev chats with Lisa about her attempt sharing some of his experience on the "entry level" 108 mile race, the Spine Challenger. If you are wondering how far you can push yourself, not sure of what you might be capable of doing then listen Lisa's story, truly inspirational! 

The suffering continues in this second episode of a 2 part special on the 2019 Montane Spine Race (you might want to listen to Part 1 – Ep 14 – first, but you don’t have to if you don’t want to. You’ll just be wrong if you don’t). Listen to find out how Thane and his fellow mid-packers got on over the second half of this brutal 268 mile slog up the Pennine Way in the middle of the UK winter and how Thane’s socks would, ultimately, provide an insight into his mental state…

In January 2019, with waterproof socks in hand (well, on his feet actually), Thane set out to conquer the brutal Montane Spine Race, a non stop 268 mile race up the iconic Pennine Way National Trail in the UK. This is the first episode of a 2 part special with interview content from other racers he travelled with on his journey through the cold, dark, wet and windy wilds of the British winter.

This week we speak to the record-breaking ultrarunner Jasmin Paris. Paris, who is currently writing her PhD thesis, just won the 268-mile Montane Spine Race by 15 hours, smashing the previous race record. What's even more impressive is that she made regular stops while racing to express milk for her 14-month-old daughter, Rowan. In this podcast, Paris takes us through her trials along the Pennine Way including how she tackled sleep deprivation. She tells us how she got into running, what motivates her, and how she would like to see more women get involved in the sport. Jasmin Paris also holds three separate UK 24-hour mountain running records was justed named in the British team of 12 for the Trail World Championships in Miranda do Corvo in Portugal. As well as our chat with Jasmin, Shaun analyses his recent 10k at Vondelpark and of course, there are more stories from the top deck of Jermaine's bus.

Welcome to Further. Faster. in association with Montane. This is the podcast that delves into why, and how, ultra athletes, mountaineers and explorers do what they do. This is a very special edition of the podcast as we speak to ultra runner Jasmin Paris. A few days before this podcast was recorded Jasmin smashed the previous overall course record for the Montane Spine Race by an incredible 12 hours. The Montane Spine Race stretches 268 miles across the Pennine Way, and over some of the most uncompromising landscape in Britain, and of course, it's run in winter, and earns it's billing as "Britain's Most Brutal Race". Jasmin set the fastest race time ever be running through the finish line in 83 hours, 12 minutes and 23 seconds. In this podcast we chat about the worldwide exposure she's received, the fact she was still expressing milk at the checkpoints, the training, and the strategy, she employed to win, plus what comes next. Listen in to this inspiring conversation with Jasmin. *It was a bit of a sketchy line, so do bear with it.
