Trail & ultra running from Wild Ginger Running

Thanks so much to Montane Spine Race director and co-founder Phillip Hayday-Brown for taking time out of his at the moment very stressful pre-race schedule to share with us the latest news on the 2021 event.

Originally on YouTube here https://youtu.be/Z5z7e9VG3h0

Will the January government guidelines allow the 2021 Montane Spine Race to take place at all? If so what precautions and restrictions will there be on this 268 mile race along the Pennine Way to keep runners, marshals and the medical team safe?

We also cover more light topics like how the Spine Race was created, what it takes to put on such an epic event in the middle of the mountains in winter, Phillip's best and worst memories as RD, and what drink you can buy him in the pub to celebrate a successful Spine race!

Delighted to be joined by Rav Billan, a runner, business owner and mum from the Midlands who only started running 4 years ago! She has almost completed a 1,000 day run streak - and who knows, she might just keep on running! We will find out during the show.

Watch original on YouTube here https://youtu.be/yvFFFAmxfEU

Why did Rav hate running at school?

What made her start running?

What does she love about trail running?

How does she fit it in?

What is her motivation?

Why she doesn't believe in running failures?

What is her secret to running every single day for nearly 3 years?

When will she reach 1,000?

Will she continue beyond 1,000?

Highs and lows of her challenge?

Dressing as a superhero....!

Jack Scott recently broke Mike Hartley's 32 year old record on the 214 mile Southern Upland Way in South Scotland. He's a 26 year old unsponsored runner (er, not for too long me thinks!) who has also achieved FKTs (records) on the 188 mile Offa's Dyke Path and the 135 mile Glyndwr Way in Wales.

Original YouTube broadcast https://youtu.be/JliOqsE-b28

In this live chat, Jack reveals what it takes to commit to such goals and be successful over such long distances as everything is self-organised and self-funded. And...what he aims to tackle next (some very exciting plans!).

Thanks so much to Beth Pascall for chatting to us about her incredible Bob Graham Round women's record, 24th July 2020.

Original YouTube version here https://youtu.be/0_RDQVwPeQ8

In this film we talk about how Beth got into ultra running, how she trained for her record-breaking Bob Graham round during the pandemic, how she balances running with her work as a busy doctor, and why she has spent so much time on the bike recently...

She also gives us an insight into how she recovers between the Western States 100 and the UTMB (both of which she hopes to complete again in 2021).

Beth shares with us what she eats on her long distance challenges and races, and what qualities she looks for in her pacers and support crew.

She reveals what it's like to climb Broad Stand after 40miles of running, how she felt at the end coming into Keswick having broken the ladies' record, and how far she thinks women can go - can they beat Billy's time of 13 hours 53 like George Foster did recently with his 13:44?

Finally she talks about what's coming next for her in 2021 - we wish you all the best Beth!
