S1:E12 - Trail Running Interview with Ultra Runner Simon Prytherch who runs 100 miles per week

Joining me on today’s trail running interview is ULTRA runner Simon Prytherch who runs 100 miles per week.

He went from a total non-runner before deciding now is the time to pick up Ultra-Marathons.

Simon Prytherch is truly full of knowledge. Since he has undergone the process from moderately active but smoking and drinking to specialising in races of 100 miles or more, you are one lucky gal or guy as Simon is coaching athletes of all abilities.

So, no matter if you are progressing towards your first half marathon, working out how to transition to ultra-marathons or want podium in a 145-mile race, Simon – you will notice listening to today’s run-conversation – is your guy to train with!

I’ve known Simon since a little while but only recently picked up on his running career and – of course – asked him for a run.

#FunFact: I took a tumble but didn’t lose the camera on today’s run at only 00:06:56 minutes in. Simon took it easy on me and assured me that is usually the sort of thing he’d tend to do. I hope you can be as kind as he is and forgive my wobble!

Let’s Go!

Runners Quote:
A little different than the usual, though I think there is so much to learn and take away, it’s more interesting than a simple quote:
7:57 Why Simon wears compression shorts
8:27 What gear Simon pays attention to
9:42 What food he is eating during his Ultra’s
10:13 he starts talking about his hydration & eating regiment whilst running
10:41 What Simon is carrying in his hydration bottles
11:48 Talking about the calorie deficit the body goes into when ultra running
12:31 We get into conversation about Dean Karnazes who Simon ran with during the Spartathlon in September 2018.

There is obviously way more to come including his infamous experience to DNF (did not finish) at 100 miles during a 130 mile race.

3 Mile Run Down is a way for me to talk with equally enthusiastic people from all sorts of backgrounds. My aim is to tap into their knowledge achieved through paths life took them. We may pound the miles together and it combines, and it may bring us even closer, that being said it’s for each something else that sets us on this path.

This is an open invitation to find value and knowledge in each different runner and run, because no life paths are the same and no three-mile run is either.
