ARC 50 - Zennor to St Ives

Running 44@60 - tips, ideas and advice for your first ultra marathon or marathon

On the run recording of the Zennor to St Ives route condensed into about 20 minutes of run time.
Picking out all the various landmarks, gates, big rocks, styles, signposts along the way.
I've broken the ARC 50 down into 9 sections:

1. Minack to Lands End
2. Lands End to Cape Cornwall
3. Cape Cornwall to Pendeen
4. Pendeen to Zennor
5. Zennor to St Ives
6. St Ives to Hayle
7. Hayle to Godrevy
8. Godrevy to Portreath
9. Portreath to Porthtowan

This episode covers section 5
The next one covers section 7
And I'm planning to cover section 4
For me these are the crucial sections as I'll be chasing cut off times at St Ives and then Godrevy.

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.
