The Long Run Episode 14 - Aug 16, 2013 - Anthony Forsyth North Downs 100 2nd place Phenomenal Race - Masterful performance, superhuman training, Israel chases races, Emily gets ready to Joust 24 Be prepared to be captivated by the amazing interview with Anthony Forsyth who battled back and forth on the Centurion Running North Downs Way 100 mile race with Edward Catmur eventually taking 2nd overall and still 1 hour 48 minutes off the old course record finishing in 16:03! Anthony will have you on edge throughout his interview as he takes us through his journey from an overweight kid to training at 140-160 miles per week to posting one of the best UK Ultrarunning performances of 2013. Anthony is a master speaker, you won't notice the time quickly passing as he tells how even though he wasn't on anyone's radar to finish with the top guys, he still had some impressive performances that just leave your jaw dropped. He won a 50 mile in the US, a trail Half marathon the next weekend, ran a 2:44 marathon in Reykjavik, Iceland placing 2nd overall just to name a couple things. In June & July 2013, Anthony ran 600 & 650 miles each month, and everything came together at NDW100 where he had the most perfect race beyond anyone's imagination. His crew was flawless, his pacers perfect, his family there all along the way. In fact, this race probably demonstrated more than any other what the difference a crew makes. Israel made it to Colorado, but not before rushing around the UK in a wild chase around the country to take in everything he could, followed the North Downs Way, also witnessed the start of the first 6day race on UK soil in 25 years just south of Oxford, visited London in the waining hours, and didn't sleep more than an hour at a time for 3 days. Emily is running in the Joust 24 Hour race this weekend, (we interviewed race director Steve Worrallo of ULTRArunning ltd in Episode 10), and she'll just go and enjoy the experience. Israel's first weekend in Colorado will be following the Leadville 100 race, will be posting on twitter at: @israeltheRunner, @LongRunPodcast and probably elsewhere. Don't forget we posted a video of Emily and Israel cycling across Wales on our Youtube page at [audio Anthony Forsyth's Facebook Page The Long Run Podcast on Twitter: @LongRunPodcast YouTube.com/TheLongRunPodcast The Long Run on iTunes / GB / UK Audience: The Long Run on iTunes / USA Audience: RSS Feed for Android Players Android Here is the Audio for Episode 14 [audio (direct download link at )
