Carrie Glenister's 4 Challenges and 4 Successes!
10/22/22 • 40 min
I first met Carrie at the Cornwall Running show in April 2022. Carrie was persuaded to do a short podcast recording during which she explained that she had returned to running in 2021 after several years absence and had decided in 2022 to take on four challenges. And not just any old challenges but four far from easy ones.
The Bodmin Beast marathon – a new event that would combine road and trail and in itself be a significant challenge
The South-West Traverse – 45 miles on the south-west coastal path following the same route as the Classic Quarter – and this year run on one of the hottest days of the year
The Black Rat – part of the Rosaland August Trails (RAT) event – 32 miles again all on the coastal path
The London Marathon – the big finale of Carrie's four challenges and the one where she also had to raise a significant amount of money for the Royal Cornwall Hospital
Carrie successfully completed all four challenges and in this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast she talks about each challenge and how it went, and let's not forget that several years ago Carrie donated a kidney, so part of her challenge was to prove that you can do these things with one kidney and to raise awareness of kidney donation.

Running and Motorbikes don't mix with Andrew Blizzard
Throughout the summer of 2022 my club colleague Andrew Blizzard was training in readiness for the pursuit of a sub three hour marathon in October.
Towards the end of August during a speed session Andrew crossed a back road leading to an industrial estate and having manoeuvred around a car simply failed to notice a motorbike.
The upshot was a very smashed up leg.
In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast Andrew recalls the accident and shares the rehabilitation programme he has undertaken and the goals he has set to get back running.
Andrew's accident happened in a split second.
He talks about having to adapt to not only not running but also not working and the mental as well as physical challenges this is brought, as well as the upsides and in particular the time spent with his young family which ordinarily he wouldn't have done.
