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.
Check out Trevor’s running/business book - ’12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon’ - available now on Amazon

Arc of Attrition 2024 - Review Episode
In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I’m reviewing the Arc of Attrition 2024, in particular giving a shout out to known listeners who took part in the 100 or the 50.
And as I like a good stat here are some:
Arc 100 - Starters 363 Finishers 217 - Finish rate 60%
Winner Mark Darbyshire in a new record time of 18:51:54 beating his record from 2022 of 19:12:48 when he became the first person to run under 20 hours.
Runner Up was 2023 winner Gavin Dale in 20.06.12
Rob Forbes was third in 20:30:15 which I read would have won him 6 of the previous 8 races
Sabrina Verjee was first female in 23:03:40 - just over two hours ahead of Jenny Crouch in 2nd with first timer Stacey French 3rd - the record is 21:22 by Emma Stuart in 2023
Arc 50 - Starters 291 Finishers 222 - Finish rate 76%
The 50 was won by Lewis Ryan in 8:09:58 - the record is Mark Darbyshire 7:39:31 in 2023.
First female was Poppy Collingwood in 9:23 - the record from 2023 is 8:18 by Fiona Pascall
