Erika Varis DoggettDaydreaming of races I will probably not do. But still! Daydreaming…
TofulogieKleiner Tipp für alle, die gerne Ultramarathons laufen, oder gerne laufen würden, oder jemanden kennen, der/die Ultramarathons läuft, oder gerne laufen würde...... bei solchen Veranstaltungen sind helfende Hände immer gerne gesehen, in der Vor- und Nachbereitung, und auch am Renntag selber, bei der Registrierung, an den Verpflegungsposten, auch Fahrdienst ist manchmal nötig, wenn Teilnehmer:innen vorzeitig aussteigen müssen. Als Gegenleistung bekommt man ein Rundum-Wohlfühlprogramm, wird quasi adoptiert, bekommt viele interessante Eindrücke hinter die Kulissen, das gelegentliche Chaos das aber trotzdem immer wie funktioniert. Und neben ganz vielen Dankeschöns auch den einen oder anderen Fanartikel, und natürlich reichlich von dem Essen, was übrigbleibt, es soll ja nichts verkommen.
Und das schönste: Man muss sich nicht selber abquälen, erlebt aber trotzdem viele emotionale Momente ❤️

IT'S POSSIBLE - Paul Youd, Ultra-Marathons at 87
My latest short film and documentary in which features the now infamous Paul Youd, the young whipper snapper is a mere 87 years old and got in to trail running, long distance walking and ultra-marathons just a handful of years ago.
In this film we helped support and documented his journey around the entirety of a 50km ultra-marathon around Bath.
His main support team were some lovely people from Running on Plants and other Vegan Runners.
Paul wants to share his story of being an animal rights activist, fundraising for @vivacharity and how he got healthier moving to a plant-based diet over 20 years ago. You'll find his fundraising link in the description of the film on Youtube.
He is on his way to 100 ultra-marathons before he is 100 years old and today he is also attempting another 50km, the Thames Path Challenge, good luck to Paul today on that and continuuing his aim of 100 ultras over the next 12 years.

🚀 New Year, New Stories – Audio Signals Podcast is Back and it is all about storytelling! 🎙️https://www.audiosignalspodcast.com/
After a packed 2024 filled with incredible conversations, I took a short break in January to recharge. But now, it’s time to dive back into a year that’s already shaping up to be even bigger, bolder, and filled with extraordinary #stories and #storytellers.
And what better way to kick off 2025 than with a story that embodies everything this podcast is about—pushing limits, embracing adventure, and redefining what’s possible through amazing shared stories!
🌍 Meet Karen Meades—a woman who didn’t just challenge herself; she ran straight into the most extreme environments on the planet. From crossing the #Amazon jungle, to enduring the brutal #SaharaDesert, to racing through #Antarctica, Karen has taken on #ultramarathons that test not just the body, but the very essence of human #resilience.
She wasn’t always an endurance athlete. In fact, she never even thought of herself as one. But a single decision—to run a local 5K—set her on a path that changed everything. Step by step, challenge by challenge, she discovered what she was truly capable of.
But then life threw a different kind of obstacle in her way. One that forced her to rethink adventure and discover a new way to live without limits.
Her story is captured in My Limitless Life, a #book co-written with Barry Finlay, who helped bring her journey to life in a book that is as inspiring as it is breathtaking. In this episode, we explore:
🔹 What drives someone to take on seemingly impossible feats
🔹 How adventure and #storytelling intersect
🔹 Why limits are often self-imposed
🔹 What happens when life forces you to redefine them
👉 Watch the teaser video: https://youtu.be/gAIl85p-pCE

Hosted by Marco Ciappelli | We are all made of stories. Storytelling is at the core of our human experience—how we transmit knowledge, share experiences, and communicate values. Stories are bridges that connect us, shaping our worldview and weaving together our collective consciousness. In our modern, hybrid analog-digital society, the art of storytelling matters more than ever. Every storyteller—regardless of medium or platform—contributes to the grand narrative of human experience. I'm focusing this podcast on the storytellers themselves—exploring the craft, passion, and philosophy behind the stories that make us human. Join me for conversations that dive deep into the creative process across all mediums, celebrating the timeless tradition of storytelling in our evolving digital era.

Justin PoehneltJust registered for UTMB TDS. It's going to be a bit of a whirlwind with travel in August and September for work but I'm already excited!
I'm registered for the lottery! 🎲 (Currently in a group of 6)
Feels good to get a #running #workout after what seems like months of endurance training and #ultramarathons.
5x3 minutes and going to be repeating this 2 x week this week and next. 186 heart rate is above what all the calculators say I should hit for my age (almost 42).
