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.

I ran my first, and so far only, ultra marathon in 2021 - the 44 mile Classic Quarter - to celebrate a landmark birthday which was a few weeks before the run.
This podcast started as a way of me learning how to do that - hence why it’s called Running 44@60. The adventure then turned into a book and as a business consultant it became both a business and running book and is available on Amazon via this link: 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon.
My run raised over £7000 for Childrens Hospice South West Music Therapy programme and every book bought on Amazon generates another £5 for the programme.

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.

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.
