Trail & ultra running from Wild Ginger Running

I'm going to do a deep dive into the mandatory kit packing for The Arc 50 tomorrow 4pm, sharing all the tips from the comments on YouTube.

Delighted to chat to the incredible Graeme Brouder who was the last Brit to cross the line in the 2023 Spine Race, 268 miles along the Pennine Way from Edale to Kirk Yetholm, which takes place in the depths of winter every January. What makes Graeme tick? What training did he do and how did he stay mentally strong enough never to give up? Let’s find out in this live chat!

Use code WILDGINGERRUNNING for 15% off https://uk.naak.com/Why create last & proud of it?I’ve reached a stage where I am (in a nice way) non-plussed about elite athletes winning races and setting records. I used to be in awe of these lofty achievements, but I have a lot more in common with and even more awe for the people in the middle of the pack, the back of the pack, and the person who comes LAST OF ALL. So this new series for 2024 celebrates the ‘normal’ ultra runners who come last in some of the UK’s most famous races and are quite rightly, very proud of their amazing achievement. Just like us, these unsung heroes have busy stressful lives filled with jobs, kids/pets/relatives, mental and/or physical health issues and injuries. Their training and racing has great highs and terrible lows, but they keep on running/jogging/walking/crawling to that finish line. What did it take? What was their training like? How did the race pan out? How did they beat those cut offs against all odds? And what hard-won golden nuggets of advice can they give to us ‘normal’ ultra runners about this race in particular, ultra running and life in general. I hope you like this series and feel inspired by it, just like I do.My book, The Ultimate Trail Running Handbook https://amzn.to/3jgKvTyPlease like and subscribe here on YouTube https://linktr.ee/ClaireWGRFollow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wildgingerrunning/Support me on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/WildGingerRunningMeet me at Nene Valley trail races https://nenevalleyraces.wordpress.com/Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWEw4ys-SlXU1pCp6oyMemQ/join Hosted on Acast.

NEW SERIES FOR 2024! Sneak preview first episode. I’m going to be honest here - I’ve reached a stage where I am (in a nice way) non-plussed about elite athletes winning races and setting records. I used to be in awe of these lofty achievements, but I have a lot more in common with and even more awe for the people in the middle of the pack, the back of the pack, and the person who comes LAST OF ALL. So this new series celebrates the ‘normal’ ultra runners who come last in some of the UK’s most famous races and are quite rightly, very proud of their amazing achievement. Just like us, these unsung heroes have busy stressful lives filled with jobs, kids/pets/relatives, mental and/or physical health issues and injuries. Their training and racing has great highs and terrible lows, but they keep on running/jogging/walking/crawling to that finish line. What did it take? What was their training like? How did the race pan out? How did they beat those cut offs against all odds? And what hard-won golden nuggets of advice can they give to us ‘normal’ ultra runners about this race, ultra running and life in general.This episode we speak to the fantastic Lizzie Hughes about her last place on the infamous Arc of Attrition 50 2023, which I am signed up for 27 Jan 2024. I may be the next last place person the way my training has been going! ;) So I need all the help from Lizzie that I can get, and maybe you do too for your next ultra whichever if might be.Originally on YouTube here https://youtube.com/live/RIAYz83CXsYThis live broadcast / podcast is sponsored by Naak nutrition and I’ll be sharing a little taste test with you at the start of the show.

Delighted to chat to athlete Kristian Morgan about his incredible Appalachian Trail southbound, supported record of 45 days, 4 hours and 27 minutes, finishing on 16 Sept 2023. Kristian has shaved over 18 hours off the previous record held by the legendary Karl ‘Speedgoat’ Metlzer in 2016. Kristian is also a coach so we have a few questions for him about long distance and multi-day running from how to deal with foot pain to the essential gear to carry. We also want to know why he was frequently filmed stopping to do a dance on the trail, how did he get time? And....what's next in 2024?Originally on YouTube here https://youtube.com/live/TVq3gVwFUIMSee Kristian's Donald Duck trail dance here https://www.instagram.com/reel/CwlEWlivN0Z/Kristian's coaching https://www.kristianultra.com/Vote him for FKT of the year here https://forms.gle/wZA3ZfiEyrg56Utd6Support Kristian's 2024 Northbound overall record here https://www.gofundme.com/f/AT-24This broadcast is sponsored by CurraNZ, the New Zealand 100% blackcurrant supplement for trail and ultra runners which is packed full of anti-inflammatory anti-oxidants, used by Kristian and me, NZ athlete Ruth Croft who won Western States 2022, plus UK fell and ultra runner Kim Collison, interviewed here https://youtube.com/live/_VtFTBDzRuQ CurraNZ won a Best Recovery Product Award in 2020 & 2021 and it has been called the Nike Vapour Fly of running supplements.
