Last place & proud of it: Arc of Attrition 50 - real life training & racing tips from Lizzie Hughes

Last place & proud of it: Arc of Attrition 50 - real life training & racing tips from Lizzie Hughes

NEW SERIES FOR 2024! Sneak preview first episode. I’m going to be honest here - I’ve reached a stage where I am (in a nice way) non-plussed about elite athletes winning races and setting records. I used to be in awe of these lofty achievements, but I have a lot more in common with and even more awe for the people in the middle of the pack, the back of the pack, and the person who comes LAST OF ALL. So this new series celebrates the ‘normal’ ultra runners who come last in some of the UK’s most famous races and are quite rightly, very proud of their amazing achievement. Just like us, these unsung heroes have busy stressful lives filled with jobs, kids/pets/relatives, mental and/or physical health issues and injuries. Their training and racing has great highs and terrible lows, but they keep on running/jogging/walking/crawling to that finish line. What did it take? What was their training like? How did the race pan out? How did they beat those cut offs against all odds? And what hard-won golden nuggets of advice can they give to us ‘normal’ ultra runners about this race, ultra running and life in general.


This episode we speak to the fantastic Lizzie Hughes about her last place on the infamous Arc of Attrition 50 2023, which I am signed up for 27 Jan 2024. I may be the next last place person the way my training has been going! ;) So I need all the help from Lizzie that I can get, and maybe you do too for your next ultra whichever if might be.

Taking some time out

Taking some time out

Don't worry I'll be back! But I need to take 3 months off from the YouTube channel to not be stressed and have some time with my baby before he goes to nursery. He's at that difficult in-between stage of starting weaning but still also breast-feeding frequently, not napping so much in the day, and starting to become mobile when he is awake! I have my work cut out! I'll be back.... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
