What's it like to be a trail & ultra race director? Due North Events founder Mel Steventon shares her story, how she went from founding the company in 2017, taking it through the covid lockdown and working hard to increase female entrants and encouraging a more ethnically diverse participation. Mel is surely one of today’s trail running race trailblazers, let’s hear how she and her team make it happen.

We chat to Naak-sponsored athlete Imo Boddy, who last month broke the UK 3 Peaks record summiting Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon in 6 days 5 hours 43 mins, RUNNING between each mountain. Oh, and did we mention she is only 24 years old and also holds the women’s record for John O’Groats to Lands End (Jogle) from two years ago? Absolute legend, we can’t wait to find out more!

Hi everyone and welcome to the Wild Ginger Running YouTube channel live broadcast and podcast, today are covering how to manage having an injury as a runner, with the twinkle-toed, resistance band whisperer, coach and physio, Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching!

So, injury - this can be anything - I’ve got bronchitis at the moment (apologies for all the coughing), Patreon Sally Gilson had a fall and was rescued by Mountain Rescue, Patreon Tadeuz has an irregular heartbeat problem, Patreon Hannah Bazley has a calf injury, and channel supporter Deborah has had 3 injuries in the last year so she has a lot of questions for Tim that I think we all could benefit from, so we run through them and more in this broadcast.

Tim has made some Wild Ginger Running training plans including drills and skills, take a look here https://www.trainingpeaks.com/my-training-plans/WildGingerRunning

In 2000 a car on the wrong side of the road, overtaking on a blind summit, crashed into coach Tim's car leaving him in a coma for two weeks and life-threatening injuries that took him years of surgeries and rehab to recover from. He is now mostly held together by metal. Find out more about the accident and his road to recovery here https://www.youtube.com/live/dRzi1AvUNOA
