Running 44@60 - tips, ideas and advice for your first ultra marathon or marathon
If you are thinking about a first ultra marathon or marathon this is the podcast for you. Running 44@60 began as a motivational and educational tool to help host Trevor Lee celebrate in 2021 a landmark birthday by running his first ultra marathon - the 44 mile Classic Quarter on the Cornish coastal path from Lizard Village to Lands End.
The run was completed and the podcast has evolved and features runners and running specialists offering tips and advice from training to nutrition via race planning, kit, etc…
Most episodes are around 25 minutes of fast paced, energising and inspiring tips, advice and ideas.

Phil Begnett returns to the podcast to share his experience of his first large-scale ultra run 'Race to the King' which was along the South Downs Way starting at Goodwood racecourse and finishing at Winchester Cathedral to meet the 'King' although it seems the King had another engagement to attend when Phil arrived.
Phil shares his tips and ideas for fellow first time ultra runners including the benefits of a shoe change and why he wouldn't recommend running 35 miles just 4 weeks before!
It is called 'Race to the King' because in 827 the first king of all England, Egbert, was crowned in Winchester. Phil did the full 53 miles in one go but there is an option with this event to split it over two days and a 23 on the first day and 30 on the second day.
