    What you discover when you run 399 squares of an OS map - plus the one that got away...

    This year Martin Elcoate from The Green Runners ran almost every single one of the 400 squares of a custom OS Map centred on his house. What a fascinating, personal challenge! Along the way he discovered surprises, took photographs of each grid square, ran more local trails than ever before, did a bit of trespassing and scrambling through bushes and met some interesting people, all in the name of a better connection with the landscape that he has lived in for the last 20 years, and promoting his commitment to The Green Runners - to run more locally.

  7. What author Jen Benson learned from Courtney Dauwalter & Jasmin Paris about 100 milers

    What author Jen Benson learned from Courtney Dauwalter & Jasmin Paris about 100 milers

    Think you can't run a 100 mile ultra? Well the truth is....you absolutely can! Especially if you read this awesome new book by Jen Benson. This lunch we had such a lovely chat to Jen about 'The Path We Run', which charts the ups and downs of her 100 mile journey, with advice and inspiration along the way from ultra running greats and experts like Courtney Dauwalter, Jasmin Paris, Beth Pascall, Lucy Bartholemew and more. It's a great read, wonderfully written with some fascinating insights. For example, did you know, Courtney DNFed her first 100 miler? There are lots of great tips and bits of advice in our chat, but even more in the book, so pop it on your Christmas list NOW! Thanks for the lovely chat again Jen, it's always really great to connect with you...and maybe I'll do a 100 miler one day.......
