Trail & ultra running from Wild Ginger Running

This month's training chat with coach, physio and Summer Spine 108 mile winner Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching (https://www.hp-3.co.uk). So, announcement - I actually can't do the Montane Lakeland 100 this year because although I've run plenty of 50 milers in the past, I didn't during 2020-2022 because of pregnancy, birth and getting back to it, so I don't meet the entry requirements.  I am actually relieved because the more I looked into it and started training for ML100, the more I understood how hard it is, and also I might not be ready for 100 miles just yet - there's no rush, respect the distance, focus on the ML50 and then choose a 100 miler after hopefully completing that successfully.  So, which one to choose....? This required a spreadsheet of 20 of the best UK 100 mile races (available to Patreon supporters or YouTube members only! Sign up here https://www.patreon.com/WildGingerRunning) so I can compare all the aspects and choose the most inspiring, least hard one for either autumn 2023 or spring 2024. Previous talksWhat's the least training you can get away with for 100 miles?

This week we chat to Patreon Colin Bergstrand about how him and running partner Jon have completed no less than 30 Original Mountain Marathons (OMMs) !!!Originally on YouTube here https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-sr8xa-135fe92The OMM is a hugely challenging 2-day event held at the end of October where pairs must navigate through the mountains to find checkpoints, carrying all the kit they need to survive for two days of running, hiking and camping. I've done a couple in the summer and they were hard enough, so how on earth have Colin and John survived 30 in winter?! Let's find out all their kit, training and navigation hacks and howlers, why they keep going back for more, and most importantly, if they're going for 40 next! More OMM & navigation-related videoshttps://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyZ16LRfpz0AnLsmDK_f3nBU6xU-yZSsQ 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/ Hosted on Acast.

Fantastic to talk to barefoot runner Anna McNuff - she ran 2,352 miles (90 marathons!) across Britain in 2019. I do have a confession to make in that I rarely enjoy reading books about someone running a long way or conquering some kind of hard as nails running challenge (I'd much rather be out on a run myself!) but I make an exception for Anna's books as they're so well written, engaging and hilarious I can't put them down. This Barefoot Britain run in particular is also much more about one person completing a challenge and so much about inspiring others along the way including the people she ran with and the Brownies and Girl Guides she gave talks to. I love her zest for life, made up words, beautiful descriptions and honesty about situations and feelings that come with a huge challenge like this. I'm a massive fan, and I hope you enjoy her book as much as I did - link below! Barefoot Britain book by Anna McNuffhttps://amzn.to/3GBbjKH The Pants of Perspective book by Anna McNuff about running the length of New Zealandhttps://amzn.to/3IiqHwE 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/ Hosted on Acast.

Nick Knight joins us again for an enlightening chat with Q&A about getting older as runners (I'm 40 in Feb and feeling exhausted!) - what can we do to recover quicker and protect ourselves from common age-related running issues like osteoarthritis, and how can we come to terms with never again reaching PB's from previous years?
