I made a big thing about saying that I would never run the Cornish Marathon and there I was on November 3rd 2024 on the start line.
So yes I did run the Cornish Marathon, or rather I 'Jeffed' the Cornish Marathon so four minutes running one minute walking using the same strategy I used at the Brighton Marathon earlier in the year.
Was a great day and I thoroughly, thoroughly enjoyed it.
Lots of fantastic people and some amazing views from the middle of nowhere.
Loads of great volunteers out on the course - just a tremendous day. I'm so glad that I did do it.
This is an on the run recording picking up snippets as I go which I hope you'll enjoy and I hope will give you a flavour for the Cornish Marathon if you decide to do it in 2025.
If you do think about that here's the link to the East Cornwall Harriers website page featuring the Cornish Marathon.

I met Brendan Fletcher when we were both earlier this year on the England Athletics Coach in Running Fitness course.
Brendan is a fully qualified tour guide and has run several ultra marathons most of which I've never heard of including:
TestWay Ultra
Dragon Coastal Ultra 100
Run with No Witty Name
Clarendon Marathon
We also talk about Brendan's new running tour around Stonehenge based on his amazing local knowledge of the area – he lives just 1 mile from Stonehenge in combination with his sheer enthusiasm for running and his seven year experience as a tour guide.
For the Stonehenge Running Tour Brendan specialises in working with groups of four people, who book with him as a group and then he will take them on a run anywhere between five and 13 miles at all times of the year. Brendan even offers as part of the service to pick people up to come on the tour from anywhere as far away from Stonehenge as Bristol in one direction and London in another direction.
Brendan is a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide and I'm convinced that anyone going on one of his tours will have a great time and learn absolutely tons. Be ready though with your phone camera because you are going to go places that only Brendan will be able to take you.
Brendan also tries to, regardless of the time of year, start each run around sunrise so you get the best views of the Stonehenge area.
Brendan's non-running tours can be found at Chalkland Tours Ltd

One 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 @martinelcoate
Martin 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.

The Woods is an event organised Bys Vyken Events and I took part in it on September 14th 2024 tackling the 12 hour version of the four and a bit mile loop in Tehidy Woods in the middle of Cornwall.
It was a great day and an event that I would definitely recommend.
I didn't record on the way around with the exception of a few snippets on my phone on my last lap which I share at the end of a few minutes of introducing the event and mentioning a few people who I met on the day.
A couple of events I mentioned on the episode that depending on when you read these notes you might still be able to enter:
Run Mawnan
Tywarnhayle 10k

Annie Vernon is the daughter of a Cornish farmer who became a double world champion and an Olympic Silver medalist in that toughest of all sports - rowing.
Annie then wrote an award winning book Mind Games - subtitled determination, doubt and lucky socks: an inside his guide to the psychology of elite athletes. You can buy Mind Games from your local independent bookshop or via Bookshop which is an online shop supporting independent book shops if you want to buy the book online.
During the episode Annie shares those mindset insights which the club runners and elite runners who listen to this podcast can apply when they are running, including the traits of determination, confidence, resilience and competitiveness.
It is a fascinating episode as we get a peek into the world of the elite athlete and all that entails in terms of mindset and how that alone can often make the difference between being great and being good.This is episode 155 of the Running 44@60 podcast and it is also the fifth anniversary of the podcast since we first launched on August 21st 2019

I’ve recently, along with 11 others, passed the England Athletics Coach in Running Fitness Course
This involved an initial weekend in Taunton followed by a couple of Zoom lead sessions before returning to Taunton almost 3 months later for a final assessment.
In between the first and last session we had to work with an athlete on an eight week programme (known as a mesocycle) to help them reach a particular running goal.
So I've handed over this episode to six newly qualified coaches who were on the same course as me to share with you their top tips to help you with your running.
You're going to hear from Drew, Lorna, Tom, Ryan, Anita and Brendan
A big thanks to them for their contribution not just to this episode but to helping you with your running and being great colleagues on the course.
If you enjoy the episode then please do share it with your Running colleagues and it would be great if you left a review

Regular contributor to this podcast, Andy Williams had a fantastic run at the Roseland August Trails (RAT) completing the extraordinarily tough 100 km /64 mile event known as the Plague in 17:31:52
The Plague starts at the Porthpean near St Austell race HQ at 12:05am on the Saturday morning and takes the runners 32 miles down the Cornish coast path to St Anthony's Head where they turn around and run back
Andy had a terrific run and when I saw him afterwards was feeling still full of energy - a complete contrast to me and I'd only run a third of the distance!
So I was keen to know why he was still feeling energised
What had he done with regard to nutrition and hydration?
Andy shares how he completely changed his view of nutrition within the last two months before he successfully completed the Plague.
He talks about Precision Hydration gels and electrolyte tablets and Cliff Blocs
Andy’s nutrition plan clearly worked for him
There is a mention for Andy as the Race Director for the fabulous Truro Half Marathon which is on Sunday, September 15th

Saturday August 3rd - The Black RAT (Roseland August Trail) - 32 miles from St Anthonys Head to Porthpean.
I pulled at the 21 mile checkpoint at Gorran Haven. Not injured. Just not able to go on.
What happened?
Nutrition - did I eat enough and of the right things at the right time? - maybe not.
Hydration - did I get that wrong? I thought it was ok but I almost certainly didn't drink enough water
Training - did I do enough and of the right sort? Definitely not. I just didn't do the mileage and I did no training on the course.
Lessons learnt? - Plenty.
Will I still do the Arc 50? - As I was nearing Gorran Haven it was a definitely not but now maybe it's a possibility. I need to focus and create a proper training plan starting at the beginning of September.
Big thanks to everyone at Mudcrew for putting on a great event and to all the marshals and supporters out on the course.

Shane Benzie is a Running Coach and Movement Specialist described by his client Damien Hall as 'the Indiana Jones of the Running World'
Shane has travelled the globe working with, filming and analysing the movements of not just runners but indigenous people and tribes who still move in the way that humans were ultimately designed to do so.
Shane has used all of this knowledge and experience and observation to help all types of runners from beginners to elite think about their running and improve it as a result.
We met when Shayn came to Truro and delivered a 2 1/2 hour workshop three times for athletes in groups of eight with lots of video analysis and focus on foot landing, pushing off, the inner tripod of the foot, running with the whole body and whipping through the legs from the hip to complete the ideal running action.
Shane describes his work as helping runners run more effortlessly, more efficiently and more enjoyably.
As runners Shane suggests we need to think more about our form and our movement.
One of his top tips for club runners is to focus on their head position as the natural thing for runners to do is to look down rather than keeping their head up with their eyeline looking ahead.
For the likes of me and my new coaching friends he suggests we apply the mind of the beginner so every time we do something we learn something.
You can find out more about Shane at RunReBorn
Shane's book is 'The Lost Art of Running'

On this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I'm talking to Colin Bathe as he is busy preparing for the West Highland Way Race
The West Highland Way Race gets underway at 1am on Sunday June 22nd starting from Milngavie which his about 10 miles north of Glasgow.
The 95 mile route with 15,000 feet of elevation makes it way to Fort William
The 300 runners, which the race is restricted to, have 35 hours in which to complete the route.
There are a few rules not always seen on other ultras
All runners must have 2 crew members and a crew vehicle. One of those crew must be capable of running the second half with them as a support runner if needed.
If you on schedule for 24 hours or less you are mot allowed a support runner
Poles aren’t allowed but iPods and mp3 players are
You are advised not be noisy on your way to the first checkpoint when passing through the village called DryMen
Checkpoints don’t offer food only water
Crews and the runner have to carry all the food and drink required
And they weigh you at registration but not anymore out on the course
Colin’s crew will record snippets with him during the race and we’ll have him back on post-race to tell us all about it.

On this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I'm talking to Wez Swain
In 2023 Wez had an idea that became the Scilly60
A 60km race that takes in the five inhabited islands of the Isles of Scilly
75 places were available and 65 runners started with 24 finishing. If you missed the cut out you missed the boat to the next start line! The average pace needed to make the cut offs is 7.30 mins / km
For 2024 Wes has doubled the number of places and added the Scilly60% 'fun run' which is a 40 km event taking in four of the islands - with an average pace needed of 8.30 mins / km
These events take place on Friday, June 14th for the Scilly60% and Sunday, June 16th for the Scilly60
Places have largely sold out but there may be the odd place that comes available so if you are interested the best thing to do is email Wes via [email protected]
The Tide Race which will happen on 22nd August. It sounds like an amazing almost one-off opportunity because it’s the only day of the year essentially where this could occur given you have to run from Tresco to Merrick Island and back in calf/knee deep water, then its a lap of Tresco before running across the sands to Bryher and back hence the need to run on the day when the tide is lowest. There is currently no limit on the number of competitors for what will be a half marathon in total distance.
And then at the end of August Wes is putting on a series of Swim Run events as part of the first Ocean Scilly Festival
You can find out all the details of all the fantastic events that Wes is putting on via the website https://scilly60.co.uk

On this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I'm talking to Fergy - who is now the Event Director of Arc of Attrition by UTMB - about the Arc of Attrition, how it started and how it’s going to look as part of the UTMB World Series.
There has been a tremendous amount of chatter on social media since the announcement that UTMB is taking over the ARC and Ferg explains some of the differences but also reassures those who don’t like change that much of what runners have become used to over the last few years will continue, including the involvement of the Arc Angels.
Whilst we cover off some of the changes we don’t get bogged down in the detail because all the various rules and regulations are available on the website: https://arcofattrition.utmb.world
Fundamentally some of the changes include no deferrals, no waiting list and no support crew for the 50 race
But there will be more aid stations, there will be potentially staggered starts with two waves for each race and there is a new 25 event starting in St Ives
It is amazing to think that here in Cornwall we will be hosting one of Europe’s most iconic winter trail running events and with the addition of the new 25 mile event there will be more runners taking part than ever before, certainly more than the 53 hardy souls who shared the dream back in 2015 when they took part in the first ARC 100.

On this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I'm talking to Mark Roby about how he went from struggling to walk because of a back injury to a sub 3 hour marathon in less than 3 years.
Mark ran his first London Marathon when he was 23 years old back in 1999 in a time of 4:18
Commit properly to a plan and avoid the temptation to skip some sessionsWork at different paces during your training
He didn't really run then until he discovered parkrun in 2017 but his running was scuppered in 2021 with a significant back problem which he gradually recovered from and in 2022 he joined a running club for the first time and did his first race in July that year.
That was the start of a journey that less than two years later took him across the line at Brighton in 2:55:51, a time which in 2021 would have felt completely impossible.
So how did he make such a massive improvement at the age of 48?
Mark shares in the podcast episode the way he changed his diet, the way he stuck to a training plan which included regular course sessions some built around yoga and how he used parkrun to measure his speedwork progress.
He also talks how we did a lot of easy 45 to 60 minute runs, essentially because they were not too difficult to fit into his daily working schedule.
Mark also talks about Man Down Cornwall and how they helped him when he wasn't able to run.

For this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast host Trevor Lee recorded on the run at the 2024 Brighton Marathon on Sunday April 7th
Trevor used the same Jeff Galloway method that he used in the 2023 Brighton half marathon when he was several minutes under his predicted time
The method is to run four minutes then walk for one minute throughout the whole of the event, even though in those first few walks you get overtaken by seemingly hundreds of runners!
Trevor’s target was to be under five hours, with a secondary target of being under 4:50 and a top target of sub 4:45
As you will hear the Jeffing method worked really well and Trevor came home in 4:42
The podcast episode will give you a real flavour for the fantastic atmosphere created by the thousands of spectators who lined the course
The noise was absolutely immense in places and you will also hear that there was several groups of musicians and singers out on the course
This will take some beating for being Trevor’s number one run of 2024 when he looks back on the year in December
Here is the link to the results: Brighton Marathon Results 2024
And here is the link to the Brighton Marathon page if by listening to this you are persuaded to go for it in 2025 - its on Sunday April 6th

Mike Samuels - combining Powerlifting and Ultra Running
In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I’m talking to Mike Samuels about how he combines Powerlifting with Ultra Running
We talk about how he got into both sports and how he combines them to get the benefits of one for the other.
In Powerlifting Mike focuses on Back Squats, BenchPress and Dead Lift.
For Ultra Running Mike has run six 100 mile races including the 2024 Arc Of Attrition 100 which he completed in 23:00:24 thus gaining the much sought after sub-24 hours black buckle and taking a remarkable three and a half hours off his time from 2023
Mike suggests that any runner seriously considers doing some strength work but advises on starting off small so that they achieve good form before hiking up the weights
During the episode Mike mentioned two challenges he’s going to undertake in 2024:
The South Downs Way in June
And the Race Across Scotland in August
I also mention the West Highland Way Race which listener and previous guest Colin Bathe is running in June.
