In this episode of the Running 44@60 podcast I’m sharing my experience of running the first ever Lighthouse Marathon.

Pendeen to Godrevy on the North Cornwall Coast with a bit on at the start and finish to make it the full marathon distance.

For me it was an ARC 50 test. With 3 months to go where am I fitness wise was the key question to be answered.

Sadly a recent achilles injury I had recovered from re-occured when I slipped / stumbled at 7 miles.

I hobbled on to the 14 mile aid station at St Ives where I had already decided enough was enough. My first ever DNF (Did Not Finish)

It also means my Arc adventure for January 2024 is over. I’ve deferred to January 2025.

I mention the Ford Sen Mighal - its a great Bys Vyken event on December 2nd - North Cornwall Coast (Lelant) to South Cornwall Coast (Marazion)
