This episode was going to be an on the run recording during the Falmouth Half Marathon which took place on March 13th using my super duper new on the run recording device called the F2 Field Recorder from Zoom - (no relation to Zoom online recordings).

However as a podcaster you live and learn especially when it comes to the technical side and somehow yesterday I managed to press the wrong button at the wrong time, the crucial time, and ultimately I recorded absolutely nothing even our spend a whole run chatting away to people and myself!

Two people I did meet on the run who I would like to try and potentially get on this podcast were Jane Stedman who has completed over 300 marathons and Steve Young who has over 150 under his belt. if anyone knows either of them please give them a prompt to get hold of me via [email protected]

I'm also via this episode giving away 10 or so copies of my book '12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultramarathon' – if you would like a copy all you need to do is leave a review for the podcast via your usual podcast app, then take a screenshot or something similar of the review and email it to me via [email protected] and don't forget to include in your email your name and postal address and I will then send you an inscribed copy of the book.

As I mention in the podcast the books I'm giving away do contain a few occasional typos and misspellings but nevertheless if you are in business and you are a runner then you will find it really useful I think, especially in added to that you are planning your first ultramarathon this year and enormously especially in that is going to be the Classic Quarter.

I also mention the KVK (Kernow Vertical Kilometre) which I'm taking part in on April 3rd and the Cornwall Running Show at which I will have a stand with my podcast recording equipment give visitors the opportunity to appear in a future episode for a couple of minutes talking about their running plans for 2022.

The Arc of Attrition is one of the foremost ultra running events on the UK calendar. It offers two distances – 100 miles and 50 miles. 

The 100 mile event starts at midday on Friday in the Cornish fishing village of Coverack and winds its way along the coastal path via Lands End to the finish at Porthtowan on the north coast. Competitors have to reach the finish by midnight on Saturday. There are cut off points along the way along with in the scene half of the race some of the most difficult terrain on the coastal path. 

In this episode we meet Stuart & Rachel Thomson. Stuart ran the 100 collecting a converted gold buckle for completing in under 30 hours (28:33). Rachel was head of Crewing, organising a support team of 6-7 to assist Stuart with changes of shoes, clothing, as well as drinks and food including marmalade rolls. 

They share their experiences with Rachel explain how the crew came together, the plans they had and how it went during the run. Stuart shares insights into being an ARC 100 competitor and tips from shoe changes to being flexible if things don't always go to plan. 

Rachel's top crewing tips revolve around meticulous preparation and having a big torch on hand for the many night time meetings with your runner.

The North Coast Challenge is 145 miles from Masland Mouth which is the border between Cornwall and Devon to Lands End. It was first run by local legendary ultra runner Steve 'The Pirate' Wyatt in Dec 2013. Since then only Wendy Chapman in 2018 had completed it in the Winter season. Until now when Jim Spencer started at 10pm on Bonfire Night.
Jim talks yes through his 53 hour adventure which actually ended up being 151 miles as his navigation went astray a couple of times enroute.
Jim tops tips if you are thinking of tackling this:

• Learn how to navigate and do some pre-run route plotting
• Make sure you are in prime condition
