Today I’m super interested to be chatting to two of my Patreons Sean O’Keefe and Christian Poulton about how they nailed the Arc of Attrition 50 first time this Jan 2024. I got timed out about 12 miles from the end reaching the Godevry checkpoint 15mins after the 8pm cut off, so I’ll be comparing notes to see what I need to do differently next time if I give it another shot in 2025 and we'll be compiling a top 10 tips between us all to help you out.

Today we’re covering the 5 most common mistakes not to make the week before your ultra with incredible, unassailable coach and physio, Tim Pigott from HP3 Coaching because I have the Arc of Attrition 50 miler on Saturday and I'm about to do it in a fairly new pair of my fave ultra running shoes, without great prior training and feeling a cold from my toddler coming on - should you run at all the week beforehand? So Tim's going to explain what not to do just before your next ultra, and a few last minute things that will help you out and make you feel more confident. Thanks coach Tim!

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! Originally on YouTube here https://youtube.com/live/LqSEmS_tO-U This 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. 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.

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.

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.
