Last Place & Proud of it: Lakes Traverse 100k - this chat with the super inspirational Caroline Johnson really made me fall in love with ultra running again! She describes a super friendly, supportive race through stunning Lake District scenery with generous cut offs (just the way I like it!) which has really reminded me how much I miss that place! Off camera at the end Caroline said she would also like to do the Northern Traverse (the whole 190 mile coast to coast route at the same time as the Lakes Traverse event) so we will watch her progress!

Upping the distance, gradually - the jump from 50 mile ultras straight to 100 miles sounds a bit much so I’ve booked the Race to the King 100k (65 mile) ultra in June 2024. Does the training differ at all? What should I be doing? And as usual for this exhausted mum, what’s the minimum I can get away with? Coach and Physio Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching is here again to share his advice, ahead of his Chianti Ultra Trail this weekend - good luck Tim! How to go from 50 mile ultras to 100km (65 mile) ultras with coach Tim Pigott was originally on YouTube here https://youtube.com/live/7HxwV9OnefoThis live broadcast / podcast is sponsored by Naak nutrition which I used on the Arc50.

He is now mostly held together by metal.

Today we chat to the amazing last placed runner of the 3-day, 135 mile Ring of Fire 2023, Terry McCormick. Terry suffered from a bad stomach on the first day, then a horrendous blister on the second day (turn away during the photos if you're squeamish!), and continued on with the third day! He's an absolute machine. Enjoy all his tips in this episode of Last Place & Proud of it where we celebrate the achievements of those at the back of the pack on Britain's most famous and brutal trail and ultra races.
