Andy Hully - Episode 17 - Milton Keynes Marathon Race Director

Welcome to Episode 17 and one I’m sure a few of you will be very interested in!

In this episode I sat down with Andy Hully the race director of the Milton Keynes marathon.

Milton Keynes Marathon first started in 2012 to signify the Olympic year. It’s now turned into a huge event over the last few years with the running community actively getting involved by either running the event, volunteering or spectating. Taking place every May Bank Holiday it’s one of the biggest races on our local calendar.

The Milton Keynes Marathon not only has the main event, but a half marathon, superhero fun run - a 1 mile race for the family, a new 10km race and the famous 5km rocket the day before with a great course for a PB! The MK marathon is iconic due to the fact that you get to finish in the football stadium cheered on by all of your friends and family.

Andy very kindly spoke to me about how the events unfolded in March leaving him with no option to postpone the event until September. with huge uncertainty around Autumn events and a very crowded race calendar I asked Andy to share his thoughts on what he sees mass races looking like in the future.

I hope you enjoy this event and want to thank Andy once again for coming onto the podcast.

Adam 'Tango' Holland - Episode 19 - 447 Marathons/Ultras and Counting!

Adam has 447 marathons and ultras to his name and has won more marathons/ultra marathons than anyone else in the UK.

He was only 23 years old when he had reached 100 marathons putting him in the Guinness World Records for being the youngest person in Europe to achieve this. He is also the fastest person to run 10 marathons in 10 days, with an average time of 2 hours 45 minutes. Last year he completed the famous John O’Groats to Lands End Challenge where he ran over 800 miles running from the top to the bottom of the UK.

This year Adam was due to run 20 marathons in 20 days but due to the current climate this has not been possible.

Although Adams achievements are very impressive, he was very modest during our chat. We discussed some of his many achievements but also delved a bit deeper into how his running has changed in recent times.
