running 44 @ 60 Podcast - helping you run your first ultra marathon
The Running 44@60 podcast is all about helping you run your first ultra marathon. It is packed with tips and ideas from runners to to help you plan and then run your first ultra marathon. The Running 44@60 podcast came about when at a business conference I was speaking at in February 2019 I announced that in the summer of 2021 to celebrate a landmark birthday I would run the 44 mile ultramarathon on the Cornish coastal path known as the Classic Quarter. Hence 44@60. As a way of maintaining motivation and also gathering tips, advice, ideas, plans etc.. from seasoned ultra runners I launched this podcast.
I was already a seasoned podcaster in the business world as every Monday for almost five years I have broadcast the Better Presentations More Sales podcast.
If you would like to come on the show as a guest to share your running experiences or your running tips, advice, specialist knowledge etc.. then please contact me via podcast@trevorleemedia.co.uk

#2: The White RAT Episode
This was my first Roseland August Trail (RAT) event and what a fantastic day out we all had, especially those who travelled in the Brown team bus from Truro and took part in the white event – 11 miles.
These are the snippet audio recordings I made on the way round which are being turned into what I hope will be an entertaining and essentially you haven't run a RAT event before inspiring podcast to make you want to do it next year.
Big thanks to the MudCrew team for putting on a fantastic event.
Many thanks to my voice-over, design and production teams who have made this possible.
