This is episode 166 of the Running 44@60 podcast and the 33rd in 2024.

In this episode I give a shout out to all the fantastic guests who have appeared on the show this year plus I detail my favourite three Parkruns, I give an honourable mention to 3 other races and then in reverse order I introduce my top six favourite races of 2024

I did 20 races in total in 2024 and of the top six from 2023 only one has made the top six for 2024 - possibly because the other five I didn’t re-run.

I also mention the Cornwall Running Show which is being held on Sunday, the 12th of January at the Penventon Hotel in Redruth in Cornwall

I will be there with my podcast recording equipment so if you come along, why not find me on my stand and sit down with me and tell me in a minute or so your big target race for 2025 and then I will make an episode out of all those clips and you will be on this podcast. How about that?

I've also got lined up for the New Year some more Arc of Attrition runs including running the Dunes in the dark with my friend Tracy Waite, catching up with the gang of six who are taking part in the Arc 50 and hoping to get someone from the race organisers just to confirm all those kit arrangements that people have been asking lots of questions about on the Facebook pages

Finally may I wish all of you a very joyous Christmas and a peaceful New Year and thank you very very much for tuning in and listening to the podcast

That is much appreciated and means I've got to carry on podcasting into 2025.

I look forward to that.

See you then

I ran my first, and so far only, ultra marathon in 2021 - the 44 mile Classic Quarter - to celebrate a landmark birthday which was a few weeks before the run.

This podcast started as a way of me learning how to do that - hence why it’s called Running 44@60. The adventure then turned into a book and as a business consultant it became both a business and running book and is available on Amazon via this link: 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon.

My run raised over £7000 for Childrens Hospice South West Music Therapy programme and every book bought on Amazon generates another £5 for the programme.

The Running 44@60 podcast began as a learning / motivational tool for host Trevor Lee in his quest to run a first ever ultra - the Classic Quarter in 2021 - here's the story of Running 44@60

It now has 160 episodes and is aimed at those thinking about and committing to their first ever ultra.
