Send us a textIn this episode I speak to returning guest Charlotte Fisher.The last time we spoke, Charlotte had just won the  @centurionrunning North Downs Way 100.But after a disappointing year of injuries and race cancellations, she decided that she needed to turn the negatives into a positive. She did this by planning and executing a new women's FKT record on the IOW coastal path!She did this in 11 hours and 48 minutes, knocking nearly 2 and a half hours off the previous women's record!We also talk about her recent award from the police for helping to talk down a man who was attempting to end his life by throwing himself off the cliffs on her regular running route! This prompted a conversation about coincidence and being in the right place at the right time.She may have been disappointed with her races in the past year, but she is deservedly proud of the kind act that her changed circumstances allowed her to do!A great chat as always!URS

We are delighted on this show to bring two of Portsmouths junior runners, Romilly and Oliver, to discuss their training and racing. After visiting the track a few times, we have noticed that there are some fantastic sessions being run by coaches from various clubs and it is truly a wonderfuly sight. To see so many children outside, enjoying the training together. There's always a lot of laughter and joy being had on the track, but also an incredible about of concentration and hard work too. A beautiful balance! And as always, we bring you 20 minutes of warm up with hosts Daniel and Dave. Dave talks about his recent North Downs Way 100 finish, along with some chat about the recent Olympics. Including, the breakdancing! As always, thank you for listening and supporting. Happy running everyone! x

Victoria Cousins is an ultra runner who has had a dramatic rise to running supremacy over the past couple of years, going from knee surgery to completing Centurion's Grand Slam of 100 milers in 2023 and running three marathons in three weeks in three countries. Spurred on in part by her husband and previous podcast guest Stephen Cousins, we think she's one to watch, however as you'll see Victoria is extremely humble about her achievements. A lot of races get shout outs here - we discuss the GU36 race in Guernsey, The Brecon Beacons Ultra, Suffolk Backyard, SDW50, Thames Path 100, South Downs Way 100, North Downs Way 100 and the Autumn 100… and much more.

Our next episode is full of giants. We hear from Ryan 'the hunter' Whelan, Eszter 'the legend' Csillag, Elliot 'Swiss time please' Froidevaux and co-hosted by John Ellis & Steve Pheby. We talk Western States, North Downs Way 100, Coast to Coast Sweden, UTMB but importantly the race and kayak in Repulse bay. Gripping stuff. Dont forget to sign up to www.trahk.com

When his father, Pete, was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) last August, Joe Thomas decided it was time to take on a major challenge. Despite only being an occasional runner, Joe had listened to David Goggins' story and hit on the target of running a 100-mile race. He signed up for the 103-mile North Downs Way 100, which runs from Farnham in Surrey to Ashford in Kent - only discovering along the way that he needed to complete a 50-mile race before he could enter. Last month, Joe completed his challenge of a lifetime by finishing the race - which includes 11,000 feet of ascent - in 27 hours and 55 minutes, well within the 30 hour cut-off time. Along the way, he has so far raised more than £12,000 for MDS UK - money which will mean MDS patients get the support they need when they receive a life changing diagnosis. Running Tales spoke to Joe about why he set his sights as high as 100 miles, the joys of eating your way through an ultra and possible future plans to swim the English Channel...   ---------------------------------   You can donate to Joe's JustGiving page for MDS UK here: https://www.justgiving.com/page/joe-thomas-ndw100

Race Recap of the 2022 North Downs Way 100. A brief history of the event and a focus on this years' results, performances and some stories from behind the scenes. Includes the latest MVP Volunteer!

A recap of the 2022 North Downs Way 50 - stories from the day and about the race, Centurion and the sport in general.

On episode 52 of the Portsmouth Running Podcast, we welcome Michelle Maxwell from Maxwell Coaching to chat with Dave and I all about good habits that help us runners become more resilient and better at what we do. Michelle is a fountain of running knowledge and has coached a number of athletes from the Portsmouth area, including show co-host David Harvey. Along with her husband Chris, Michelle has a very impressive list of running achievements including holding two Centurion Running trophies from the South Downs Way and North Downs Way 50 mile races. The Maxwell household is a busy with with sport and particular running and triathlon being at the very heart of it all. It was fantastic to welcome Michelle on the show and I think this episode will help us all think about our own running habits and things we often neglect to maybe consider doing additionally around the running that can help get us through training and races in better shape. Enjoy the show everyone! x

“Winter camps are deliciously empty. It's kind of been my survival thing for this COVID year that never seems to end. It's nice to just relax, And just sit in the outdoors.” HOLLY WORTON is an author, podcaster, publishing strategist, personal and business coach, long distance walker, ultra-marathon runner, lover of nature and trainee druid. Despite all these things going on in her life, I was able to bring her down to a slow enough walk-and-talk pace to podcast chat with me recently. Holly's story is a fascinating mix of work experiences, entrepreneurship and adventures from her birthplace in California, into Central and South America, Spain and now finally she has settled in the UK with her Argentinian husband and relinquished her American passport for a British one. We begin our podcast chat at Denbies Hillside in Surrey Hills – an area of outstanding beauty. It is two days before the end of 2021 and as we walk the muddy, slippery paths of the North Downs Way, Holly talks about walking, running, camping, forest bathing, her deep connection to the earth's energy, why plants like lavender, mugwort and roses hold such an importance to her beyond their colour and scent, her favourite trees, and how through her deep love of nature and the ancient British landscape, she became a member of OBOD (Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids). "Connect to Nature so that you can connect to yourself.” Holly is the author of If Trees Could Talk, a number of walking books including Alone on the South Downs Way, and Walking the Ridgeway. She also talked about how to envision your year ahead with her book The Year You Want, and finally, she has a number of short self-help guides and plenty more which you can explore and purchase on her website https://www.hollyworton.com/ “It's so easy to get focussed on what you don't want. Shift your vision to what you do want."   To find out more about HOLLY WORTON go to … Website: https://www.hollyworton.com/ Into The Woods Podcast: https://www.hollyworton.com/podcast/ (I was recently a guest – Ep.440) also, she's on Instagram: @hollyworton ; Twitter: @hollyworton ; Facebook: @hollyworton   To find out about your podcast host Emma you can go to https://www.travellingthrough.co.uk/   A big thanks to Mariska Martina at https://www.mariskamartina.com/ for creating our wonderful podcast jingle!

When he wanted to go on a pilgrimage that could be completed in a weekend and found no suitable guides were available, he realized he would have to find a route for himself. He found 20, and Pilgrim Pathways is the result.Andy has also published two travel books on America, guides to English trails for mountain bikers, and local history books drawing on his Kentish roots.

The book follows one man’s journey through Portugal and Spain on the Camino de Santiago, along the coast of the Pacific Ocean connecting California’s Missions Trail, across England’s ancient Pilgrims’ Way, and onward towards Rome via Europe’s forgotten footpaths on a journey of soulful discovery. More than a travelogue, Sacred Steps: A Pilgrimage Journal is a first-hand account of a pilgrim's journey and the people and places he finds to inspire questions and enlighten answers about faith, hope, and love. 

The Norths Downs Way 100 is a challenging race at the best of times. Add in a heatwave, erratic training and a pandemic and you get a race with a 54% DNF rate. Hear how Andy got on with his third attempt at the NDW100 and his experiences at the first post-Covid large scale trail race.   There was a lot of anticipation for this event. If anyone could hold a safe race in the current climate then Centurion Running were doubtless the organisation to manage it, but would they be able to retain the friendly and supportive atmosphere that they're so well known for?

Episode 117 of Talk Ultra and it’s a packed show. We talk with Jonathan Albon who last year won the Tromso SkyRace and this year placed 2nd. Debbie Martin-Consani talks about running long and her recent CR at the North Downs Way 100 in the UK.

The RunRunLive 4.0 Podcast Episode 4-343 – Susie Chan – Endurance Runner  (Audio: link) [audio:http://www.RunRunLive.com/PodcastEpisodes/epi4343.mp3] Link MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks - Hello my friends and welcome to episode 4-343 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Today we talk with author UK Ultra-runner Susie Chan, and by ‘we' I mean Alex.  Alex caught up with her and I did the editing.  Susie's story has all the elements that we see when we talk about the transformational power of endurance sports.  She was living her life,not in a good place physically or mentally.  She ran a race, caught the bug and then dove quickly into the deep end with ultras and stage races – reporting it all on social media (as is often the case these days).  I love the story she tells about not having even run a marathon yet and signing up for the Marathon de Sables – Which is a 7-day ultra stage race across the Sahara.  We've talked to people who have run this on the show – like Ray Zahab – it's definitely not for an amateur.  They lost two guys there one year in a sand storm.  There you go! If you take Susie as your data point then all you have to do is wake up one morning and start running ultras.  Easy peasy.  In section one I'm going to talk about what to do when you are struggling in a run.  Because I've been struggling recently.  In section two we'll chat a bit about telling a story into the future and using that to create a different outcome.  … Happy 4th of July!  I stayed home over the long weekend here in the states. Didn't do much. Got a couple runs in and a long bike ride.  Hung out with my family. Unclogged a couple drains in the house.  Yes, I have basic plumbing skills.  I might be the last generation of men who can do a little plumbing, a little carpentry, a little forestry and whatever else needs to be done.  That being said, the stuff we used to learn from our fathers' you can now get from YouTube.  Monday, on the fourth of July itself Teresa and I dug out my old canoe (see what I did there?) and took it out onto the Concord River.  We put in in Bedford and paddled up to the Old North Bridge in Concord. That's where Minuteman National Park is.  That whole section of the river is park so it's quite arboreal.  It was nice.  We talked about Thoreau.  One of his books was “” and other stuff.  Not as hard as running down the Grand Canyon but a very nice few hours in the sun.  … The RunRunLive podcast is Ad Free and listener supported.  We do this by offering a membership option where members get Access To Exclusive Members Only audio Member only race reports, essays and other bits just for you!

Links are in the show notes and at RunRunLive.com … Why don't I take the cheaters way out and instead of thinking up my own salient content to ease you into the episode proper I'll quote that crazy old philosophe Thoreau hisself… “It is worth the while to make a voyage up this stream, if you go no farther than Sudbury, only to see how much country there is in the rear of us : great hills, and a hundred brooks, and farmhouses, and barns, and haystacks, you never saw before, and men everywhere ; Sudbury, that is Southborough men, and Wayland, and Nine-Acre-Corner men, and Bound Rock, where four towns bound on a rock in the river, Lincoln, Wayland, Sudbury, Concord . Many waves are there agitated by the wind, keeping nature fresh, the spray blowing in your face, reeds and rushes waving ; ducks by the hundred, all uneasy in the surf, in the raw wind, just ready to rise, and now going off with a clatter and a whistling like riggers straight for Labrador, flying against the stiff gale with reefed wings, or else circling round first, with all their paddles briskly moving, just over the surf, to reconnoitre you before they leave these parts ; gulls wheeling overhead, muskrats swimming for dear life, wet and cold, with no fire to warm them by that you know of, their labored homes rising here and there like haystacks ; and countless mice and moles and winged titmice along the sunny, windy shore; cranberries tossed on the waves and heaving up on the beach, their little red skiffs beating about among the alders ; - such healthy natural tumult as proves the last day is not yet at hand.” HDT On with the show. Section one – When easy runs are hard - Voices of reason – the conversation Susie Chan Hi I'm Susie and I like to run. I have run races from 1 mile to 100 miles. I began running quite late in life to get a bit healthier. Since stumbling over my first finish line in a race in 2010 I have gone on to run thousands of miles in training and in races.  My favourite races are multistage ultras, these are races over multiple days and miles. Highlights of my races have included two Marathon des Sables (setting off with the elites in 2015) Thames Path 100 and Boston Marathon. I do the odd bit of cycling and swimming too. I'm happiest running with my friends on the trails. Contact me for public speaking, kit chat and any questions! UPCOMING EVENTS: Beyond the Ultimate's Jungle Ultra Gevena Marathon 2016 Sierra Leone Marathon 2016 Pacer at London Marathon 2016 North Downs Way 50 New York Marathon 2016 Winter Wonderland Section two Telling your story out into the future - Outro Well my friends you decided to get up off the couch and run across the Sahara Desert to the end of Episode 4-343 of the RunRunLive Podcast.  Hope you're enjoying your summers.  Or your winter if you're in the other side of the planet.  If you were on Jupiter where NASA just successfully dropped the Juno probe into orbit your summer would be 1083 days long.  And the Europeans would still take most of it off.  I'm close to pulling the trigger on a trail marathon in Indianapolis for July 31st.  Even though I've been feeling less-than-awesome in my running lately I figure I can just casually run it for fun.  I don't have an Indy Marathon yet and both my sisters live there.   We have an office there too.  I need to get out! Do something! Then I'm going to do the Wapack Trail race.  That's Labor Day weekend.  You should come up and do it.  It's 18 miles on technical mountain trails.  A real hoot.  I guarantee it's different than anything else you've ever run! Then I have the Spartan Beast.  Which I'm not excited about but I'll do it.  And finally I told coach I'd run the Portland marathon with him in October.  I did the Hood to Coast relay out there last year but I don't think that counts as a state marathon? … So, like I said I've really felt like crap in my runs.  Basically since I had pneumonia in May.  I'm tired and my paces are off.  I noticed my HR spiking a bit at the end of runs.  I called my cardiologist and they asked me to wear a 24 hour monitor.  I've been wearing it for a couple weeks now.  It's a giant pain in the …  It consists of three electrodes that you stick to your chest.  One above your left breast and then another two, one under each breast.  I'd post a picture but no one needs to see that.  Oh, the horror.  Then the three wires run down to a small pendant that you keep in your pocket or clip to your belt.  It's like the size of a pager.  (For you millennials, pagers were texting devices before we had cell phones. In old movies from the 80's and 90's you'll see doctors wearing them.) The companion piece is an android cell phone. The pendant track smy heart and sends any weirdness to the cell phone via Bluetooth.  The cell phone then shoots that data off to the main office – where someone is watching.  This is all well and good but I don't think the designers had me in mind when they designed the rig.  When I'm trail running this time of year I sweat.  A lot.  I've managed to sweat off the electrodes in a few of my runs.  Which is unfortunate because if there is anything nefarious going on with my heart it's going to be at the end of a run.  I'm working with it.  I found a way to run the wires up through the neck of my shirt and clip them to my camelback for yesterday's 2-hour sweat fest and that kept the electrodes in place for the whole outing.  I don't think they are seeing anything.  Which is good news and bad news.  Good news may be it's not the heart.  Bad news is now I have to figure out what it is! … I got a couple new pair of shoes too.  I bought a new pair of trail Mizunos.  I've never owned a pair of mizunos.  They are basic neutral cushion shoes with an aggressive tread.  The toebox was a little tight but my foot usually wins that battle.  I bought a pair of Hoka Challenger 2's for the road.  I was trying to break in a pair of New Balance that I had picked up dirt cheap at the outlet store but they just weren't working.  They were New Balances version of a Hoka-like shoe.  Light and responsive but I couldn't get used to the heel drop.  I got the Hokas which are last year's model for $84 and I know they work for me. Like running on clouds! Because no matter how crappy your training is going, you can always use a new pair of shoes, right? Susie is a great example of someone seizing control of her life. She became the captain of her ship.  We all have that capability.  No matter whether we are 20 or 60.  Whether your boat is a cloth coracle or a party yacht.  It's all good. Thoreau in his canoe.  You and I in our dinghies.  Grab an oar or a paddle and I'll see you out there. MarathonBQ – How to Qualify for the Boston Marathon in 14 Weeks -
