Mile-045-Jeanne D'Arc and Robin Hood

On this edition of the podcast you join me in 3 different places;
first running at lunchtime along the coast in Bournemouth, at the Nottingham Robin Hood Marathon and in the countryside of the Loire Valley in France

In France we hear about the countryside around the farm I was staying on and the nuances of driving a right hand drive car on the wrong side of the road!

In Nottingham we join the atmosphere at the MarathonTalk Motivation Station at mile 19.5 of the Robin Hood Marathon. I helped out on this and it was a great weekend and adventure. Ahead of every runner arriving there was a 1/2 mile straight, which gave the opportunity to look up their name on the race sheet and welcome them personally. The station was supported by Lucozade Sport and the BPM linked soundtrack was by AudioFuels

Mile-044-24 Heures du Mans

Hi and welcome to Mile 44 of the A Mile with Me podcast. On this edition you join me exploring 24 hours in Le Mans as I stay over and run in this great medieval city en-route to the Loire Valley.

They have an excellent example of the "Son et Lumiere", which is French for "Sound and Light". These days it refers to bright multicoloured laser shows which transform the walls of buildings into bright screens, where moving projections dance in tune to evocative music.

It was a fabulous spectacle and there are some great pics and video on the website above.

We run alongside the river Sarthe and find out a little of the history of Le Mans, talk about trams and Geoffrey Plantagenet

Look out for the next edition of the A Mile with Me podcast where I visit the world famous race track, several chateaux and run through the sunflower fields of rural central France!
