Mile-003-You Need Only be Human to Take Part!

Hi everybody and welcome to Mile-003 of the A Mile with Me podcast. This time we have a really packed edition featuring the Winchester 10k roadrace, training in boggy conditions for Trailwalker and some interviews with new runners.

The theme this time is Running and Poetry and we look at "Great North", a 1000 line poem by Andy Croft which brings us the atmosphere of the Great North Run, the largest 1/2 marathon race in the world. Andy was the poet in residence at the race for a few years and we talk to him in depth about the poem and the sorts of things that come into our heads as we run, whilst listening to a few excepts. You can also find out why my running partner Chris will be suing me for a new pair of training shoes!

We look at the history and architecture of Winchester and talk to some of the guys and girls from Fareham Crusaders running club.

  1. Steve,

    I'm anxious to check out your podcast! I was wondering what the straight up feed was. The fancy little podbean thingie is not working for me, so I don't know what the feed is to put it manually in Juice.

    Cheers,
    Terry
