The Woods is an event organised Bys Vyken Events and I took part in it on September 14th 2024 tackling the 12 hour version of the four and a bit mile loop in Tehidy Woods in the middle of Cornwall.

It was a great day and an event that I would definitely recommend.

I didn't record on the way around with the exception of a few snippets on my phone on my last lap which I share at the end of a few minutes of introducing the event and mentioning a few people who I met on the day.

A couple of events I mentioned on the episode that depending on when you read these notes you might still be able to enter:

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.
My big running goal remains the Arc of Attrition 50 in January 2025.

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.
Trevor wrote a book : 12 Business Lessons from Running an Ultra Marathon - all proceeds go to the Children's Hospice South West
