Simon Hollis has run a lot of miles - but its debatable whether or not he's spent more time organising other people to run even more!
As the man in charge at Go Beyond Challenge, he is Race Director of a host of events including Northampton Half Marathon and the Shires and Spires Ultra Marathon.
Simon spoke to Running Tales about the challenges - and rewards - organising such large scale events required, as well as his own running story which includes completing several of the world's most gruelling ultras, not least the Marathon des Sables.
And for those of you who love the Northampton Half Marathon, we also learnt a little bit more about the soon to be revealed, new course for what, in years to come, will be the 'Great Northampton Half'...
