We cant guarantee ice cream and popcorn at the interval, but we do hope that everyone will find an interesting and inspiring story amongst the wealth of experiences runners share on today’s show!

Jaybdub from Australia (@jaydubrunning) takes us on a journey into the runner’s mind as we look at the power of thought and mental inspiration and how that transpires into physical adapations

Canada’s very own Runnergirl (@runnrgrl) introduces a number of runners across the globe who talk about how they have adapted running around their lives, and sometimes their lives around running!! There are some moving and poignant experiences shared that make us appreciate the ability to run even more.

Steve Chopper from England (@stevechopper)  takes us on a cycle with him exploring the more physical side of running adapations as we hear from Chris McDougall author of Born to Run and Danny Dreyer from Chi Running amongst the whispy sand dunes and soundscapes of the sea!

John from Hellasound.com introduces a greta BPM programmed running track for your delight!

And before the final credits and the lights go up, we talk all about our running adventures, challenges and plans.

Its a great show, so join us for Running Evolution

Hi everyone and welcome to Edition 3 of Run World Radio!

We have a fun show for you today all about the Ghosts of Virginity - the past, present and future

Runner Girl grabs us by the “short and curlies” waxing lyrical about her first “go faster female topiary” session. We hear vox pops from triathletes across North America on the time they shaved their legs and body hair for the first time

In the present day, Steve Chopper takes us out with him to experience losing his Hashing virginity. We are not talking about smoking here - but listen in on a typical run/drink event with the Wessex “Hash House Harriers”. The Wessex Godfather “Gates” tells us about the interesting history of the Hash House Harriers, probably the largest running organisation on Earth. hhh.wessexh3.org

Jaydub looks to the future and ponders running a 100 km trail marathon soon. Like a coiled spring he’s been saving himself, looking forward to his first time, but fears his performance may not be what is expected in the big day. We talk nutrition and training.

We also have the regular BPM running music from our friends at www.Hellasound.com and also hear from a number of listeners who have been kind enough to send audio clips into the show. In addition we have a “scrotum tightening” chaffing story that will get you giggling, from HonestJim from the UK.

You too can be a part of the show by sending your audio to Runworldradio@gmail.com Follow us on Facebook http://www.facebook.com/RunWorldRadio Show notes can be found on www.runworldradio.blogspot.com

Tell us you are listening!  #Runworldradio

We have a great show this time .. the NAKEDedition as we explore varying aspects of naked running.

Runnergirl from Canada discusses “Going Commando” - do you run without underwear? We hear the opinions of runners from around the world as they battle this question - are you “air cooled” like an old V-dub?

From V-dub we go to JayDub in Australia, who goes on the trail of the Naked Runners, tracks them down and interviews them for the show. “The Naked Runners” are award winning TEDex speakers encouraging Aussies towards a more natural running experience - with clothes, but not relying on technology and constant performance monitoring. www.thenakedrunners.com  www.youtube.com/nakedrunnerstv

Steve Chopper throws off his clothes and runs completely naked in the forest in the dark as an experiment. Does he find a new way of expression and freedom? You’ll have to listen to find out!

We have a new BPM programmed running track from Hellasound.com to enjoy as well as best wishes from some listeners and Gordon Scott’s outro recorded specially for the show.

Additional music: “Teddy Bears’ Picnic” performed by Henry Hall and his orchestra on 78 from the 1930s The titles this week contain elements from “The Devil is in the Kitchen” from Prydein from the Celtic Music Podcast.

The host intro jingles feature the voice of Peter Dickson (Xfactor)

• Runnergirl takes us back to the start of her running story, so if you have got a pair of running shoes for Christmas or are looking to start running for your New Years Resolution you must hear this!
• Jaydub takes us on a run through a National Park on the edge of Sydney to a very special place where the native people of this area passed down their stories and engraved images into the rock. http://www.atnf.csiro.au/people/rnorris/SydneyRockArt/sites/BobbinHead/index.htm
• Steve takes us on an audible journey into the magnificent city of Lincoln for Christmas. A few of his friends run with him (in Santa suits) 10km into the medieval centre. Hear the ambiance of yuletide in England

We have some good luck wishes from our friends across the world and discuss amongst other things Hash running and a topical discussion on the links between dictators and sporting prowess!

We have the first of a series of terrific specially programmed running music (at 180 BPM) courtesy of our friends at Hellasound.com. Gordon Scott has also recorded a special song at his studio on the beautiful Scottish island of Tiree just for the show. http://www.tiree.blogspot.com/ The dance track “Sky and Sand” was by Paul Kalbrenner. The title sequence contains elements of the track ”Alligator” by the band Finn from the Podsafe Music Network

It was part travelogue, part novel.

122 years later three running friends ran along the same part of the river having a good chat and enjoying some adventures along the way.

We saw plenty of boat action, including a homemade raft race, a more professional wooden Sciff race and had an interesting encounter with a dog.

The run took us from Richmond to Hampton Court Palace and back a distance of around 18 miles, and with a few breaks thrown in we ran exactly a half marathon of it

So, let me introduce my friends .. On my left in the above picture is Colin Clews (@Clewsy) one of the hosts of the fabulous Velo Club Don Logan cycling podcast  (http://www.veloclubdonlogan.co.uk/). On my right is Paul Abrelat (@Pabrelat) from the Run Yank Run podcast . http://www.runyankrun.blogspot.com/

Join me running in Ibiza as I introduce this episode. Music this week snippets of original classics from the Trojan record label - “Kingston Town” by Lord Creator, Desmond Dekker’s “007″ and “Feel the Riddem” by Clancy Eccles, something very cool for the hot days of Summer.

It was a great adventure as Dean was over launching his book and running with one of the worlds biggest and best running clubs - The Serpentine

The club is named after the main lake in Hyde Park which you can see in the picture here.

I had a good chat with Dean as we ran around and also you can hear from Robin Harvie, author of the great new book “Why We Run”

Theres some excerpts from the run and also find out about the Istanbul Marathon which I am running this year - from a Turkish member of our running group who has done the race.

Come along on a walk around the walls of Lucca, an exceptional city protected with a 4km belt of earth and brick walls from the 16th century and home to some tremendous buildings

Im running at lunchtime as we talk about the English Romantic poet Percy Shelley whose heart beats no more, but lives on next to his wife Mary, author of Frankenstein, in a Bournemouth graveyard.

Shelley had a very strong connection with Italy and the region I was in.

I read from “Ode to a Skylark”, one of his most famous poems, about the freedom of the birds in the sky and what they must see. As runners we also experience these freedoms, and believe we see more of the woprld than those who spend their time indoors.

Its a packed show, so come along for a mile with me in the sunshine

Join me on a 100 mile bike ride across the south of England. It was a lovely crisp winters day and the journey took me up through Fordingbridge to Salisbury where I had brunch. Then I took the road north to Stonehenge and then back through Amesbury, Salisbury and on towards Southampton. We dropped back through the New Forest at dusk.

Then you join me aboard “Konnie” my dark and beautiful bicycle (named after Konnie Huq!) during a section of a 56 mile bike ride we took on on New Years Day to blow off the cobwebs. We are in the New Forest amongst the ponies, donkeys and pubs, we even overtake an old mini steam-driven Traction Engine that was taking a couple of familiies out for a little jaunt in the forest.

They have an excellent example of the “Son et Lumiere”, which is French for “Sound and Light”. These days it refers to bright multicoloured laser shows which transform the walls of buildings into bright screens, where moving projections dance in tune to evocative music.

Join me on my bicycle as I cycle through Normandy to the Utah Beach and St Mere Eglise, the first town in Europe liberated after D Day in 1944.

I start my cycle with around 8 miles down to Poole Harbour to get the fast cat ferry to Cherbourg and then  cycle down the east coast of the Normandy penisular. We find out the story of John Steele a paratrooper who is immortalised on the church at St Mere Eglise (left). Its a great little day trip on the continent and a nice ride of around 85 miles.

Nearer to home, join me as we run to the lighthouse at Hurst Castle to watch the yachts in one of the world’s biggest yacht races - the JPMorgan Asset Management Round the Island Race.

Its a 50 mile circumnavigation of the Isle of Wight which sits just a couple of miles off the south coast of England around 10 miles as the crow flies from where I live in the Bournemouth area.

Check out video from this run at Runcast.tv - search “Stonehenge”

Just before midnight on the 5th June 1944, three gliders were released above the coast of France and drifted silently towards Normandy. At 00:16 on 6th June, the gliders crash landed and skidded to a halt. The complement of men poured through the doors and through rips torn in the fuselage and headed out on their mission. Theirs was among the first of D-Day, to capture a couple of key bridges, to stop the Germans bringing through reinforcements.

It was a great success and the bridge became named after the symbol of the British 6th Airborne,; Pegasus the winged horse.

65 years later following 3 years of planning an Ultra run took place to commemorate this with a run from the airfield in Dorset which launched the gliders down to finish on the Pegasus Bridge itself. Around 200 runners took part in the 65 mile run - all respresenting a specific individual soldier on the original mission.

I joined the run at the halfway point as the runners arrived for refreshments at The New Forest Hotel in Ashurst, Hampshire. Theres some interesting stories so join me with the runners to Pegasus.

Dr Karageorgis (above) is one of the world leaders in this area of research and explains how his studies have shown that the correct music can increase exercise output by 15% at the same time as our believed exersion falling by 10%. Dr Karageorgis was also previously an accomplished athlete and has worked with many established and rising sports stars.

I discuss all this with Dr Costas, and also tell how (whilst I shelter from the rain during a run) you can link your pace to music. I also talk about some online resources that can help you work out what music will best fit you and check the BPM of your own music library.

We discuss what unexpected track Haille Gabrselassie uses to motivate him in training, some other famous uses of music in sport, and even if you dont listen to music during your run how you can still use music BEFORE a run to good effect.

We talk about Run to the Beat www.runtothebeat.co.uk a recent event in Greenwich London, that linked music and a 1/2 marathon. Dr Costas programmed the live music for this.

In Mile 019 of the A Mile with Me podcast, we will discuss the story of Tommie Smith who I met a few weeks ago at a charity event. Tommie took his platform and moment in time to make a stand for human rights, a stand for which he was to pay a heavy price. Olympic Champion and holder of 11 track and field World Records simultaneously by the age of 24, his stand at the 1968 Olympics led to a life of death threats. 40 years on there are many who hate him for this, but still more who have come to realise the importance of what he did and its resonance today.

Murakami feels he is in the Autumn of his running and I celebrate this season which reaches it equinox today (22nd September) by looking at the origins of the words “Autumn” and “Fall” nd how they diverged. Join me on an Autumn run to the local dump for the “Dump Runners Club” as we kick through the leaves!

I have a report from the New Forest Half Marathon on Sunday 21st September. It was a beautiful weekend, very reminiscent of the summer with a free hog roast and music festival afterwards at a pub. 12 of us from my department took part so it was a great day.

Also last Friday (19th) was “International Talk Like A Pirate Day” so I encourage (bully) some “landlubbers” (members of my team) to talk like pirates or walk the plank at appraisal time!

Its all on Mile 16 of the A Mile With Me podcast

Im joined by Steve Moss, an ex international cyclist, who was a former team-mate of Laurent Fignon, 2 time winner of the Tour de France. Steve is now a cycling coach and also a committed runner - so we compare and contrast running and top level cycling training.

Come with me on a local cycle as we explore the revolution in literature in the last 150 years and how many famous authors who lived and wrote in Bournemouth, from JRR Tolkein and  Robert Louis Stephenson to Thomas Hardy. Mary Shelley, author of Frankenstein is buried here, alongside the heart of her husband, the romantic poet Percy Shelley. Wilde and Henry James also visited so we go on a literary cycle tour and I tell you about all these connections. Find out why the residents of Bournemouth are not today running into the sea like they did in the James Herbert book “The Fog”
