Born in Much Wenlock in Shropshire, England in 1806 he was a local doctor, played a major part in bringing the railway to town and also introduced both a reading and an Olympian class into his newly created library. In 1850 he set up his first Olympian Games and 40 years later a visit to those very games by the French aristocrat Baron Pierre Coubertin was destined to change both their destinies. The Baron stayed at Brookes’s house for several weeks and inspired by what he had seen Courbertin went on to launch the modern Olympic movement in 1894. In 1994 the President of the IOC visited Much Wenlock to celebrate a century of the modern Olympic movement and in a moving speech said “I came to pay homage to Dr Brookes, who really was the founder of the modern Olympic Games” Find out more about his extraordinary life and the Much Wenlock Olympian Games as I chat with Helen Cromarty, historian of the Wenlock Olympian Society on Mile 13 of the “A Mile With Me” podcast.

Sometimes raw grit is what is necessary to get through!
On Mile 12 of the “A Mile With Me” podcast we look at digging deep, which is what the 2000 participants of Trailwalker needed to do to get through 100km of tough hills within a day. Hear my report from the event which will raise over £1m for Oxfam and the Gurkha Welfare Trust. A few pics of me on the run are above. Find out one of the 1000 unusual uses for an umbrella!
Also hear me off the coast talking about how Bournemouth Council is literally digging deep in the sandy seabed off the coast to create the northern hemisphere’s first artificial surf reef. Bournemouth is sheltered from the Atlantic by the Purbeck peninsular and thats one reason why its beaches are regularly voted the best in the UK. Once the reef is open in the autumn it will provide an excellent 400 metre wide surf beach within 1.5 hours of London for the first time. Its even claimed it will be good for the local fish stocks. Hear about what you can see from the Bournemouth Eye and also about the designer developing the “best beach huts in the world”.
I also explore how focussing on improving concentration can help when you need to dig deep at that crucial point.

Welcome to Mile 009 of the “a mile with me” podcast - IRONMAN.  

This show is not about the triathalon series or even the recent movie but about the important part the mineral Iron has played in the development of the world as we know it today and also its role as a key nutrient for us as human beings. 3.5 Billion people today have an iron deficiency that directly impacts their lives - the World Health Organisation and Harvard University state that iron deficiency has an overall cost to humanity that is higher than any other ailment apart from TB. We look at why we need Iron and how we can improve nutrician to support our running and how fortification is helping in the developing world. The improvement of smelting of Iron using coke rather than charcoal in 1709 was a major catalyst for the Industrial Revolution which began in England and has changed the world forever. Join me in Ironbridge in Shropshire where this began as we explore how Iron gave us the world we know today. We also tackle the Wrekin, a famous hill in Shropshire and hear the legend of that and also you can hear me as I run to the Brooklyn Bridge in my lunch hour via an invention called the Telectrosope! We are now in the Information Revolution and the exponential increase in technology allows us to share knowledge and solve the Iron deficiency problems. So join me on a 300 year journey from Iron-Bridge to Iron-Fortification.

For many of us running is a way of achieving freedom, there is the lure of the open road and beautiful countryside. We need these breaks for Freedom of the Soul

Join me on Mile 007 of the “a mile with me” podcast, as we explore this freedom in more detail and look at the pleasures of running in English pastoral style countryside, on both sides of the Atlantic.

Its May Day here in the UK, which is both the celebration of labour rights and also of traditional festivals of Spring, including Beltane which gave us the May Poles! Find out what a May Pole is and join me as we visit a “new age” style retreat for May Day weekend.

The Campaign for the Protection of Rural England (www.cpre.org.uk) has for over 80 years been supporting the English countryside. This site has details of the “Quiet Conference” which is mentioned in the podcast. We have an interview with Christopher Napier, Vice Chairman of the CPRE about the work they are doing to protect the countryside.

We also look at the origins of Central Park in New York City which has a direct connection to the English landscape - find out how and why on the “a mile with me” podcast.  (www.centralparknyc.org ). I speak with Sarah-Cedar Miller, the historian of the Central Park in New York City about the history of the park which is 150 years old this week. We also find out how runners in NYC can support the park and gain a free place in the NYC Marathon and Half Marathon this year.

The countryside gives us Freedom for our Soul … stop and think for a moment about it on your next run.

Join us on the A Mile with Me - London Marathon special as we tell the history of the London Marathon and how the 26.2 mile distance came about in London, exactly 100 years ago. Hear the story of Dorando Pietri, who drank wine along the way and was still the first man over the line in the 1908 Olympic marathon.

Also we are at the British Academy overlooking the finish line at The Mall and hear about the work of Oxfam in Liberia directly from Abraham, a local worker on the ground. We also hear a heart warming personal account of this year’s race from a lovely young lady called Alex, who ran through her tears to achieve the title of “Marathoner”!

Join me on the run along the Beaulieu River in Hampshire, and join “Team Pingu” on their Trail training on the Solent Way path. Also join my Trailwalker team as we get caught in a blizzard on an exposed headland in the Purbecks. The snow was blowing horizontally into the side of our faces.

We also hear a heart warming personal account of this year’s race from a lovely young lady called Alex, who ran through her tears to achieve the title of “Marathoner”! Join me on the run along the Beaulieu River in Hampshire, and join “Team Pingu” on their Trail training on the Solent Way path. Also join my Trailwalker team as we get caught in a blizzard on an exposed headland in the Purbecks. The snow was blowing horizontally into the side of our faces. In direct contrast, join me for a gentle evening run on a Spring Evening.

Episode 005 - A Fresh Start

Welcome to Episode 5, which is all about about fresh starts. Its Spring up here in the northern hemisphere and nature is coming to life, so lets come to life also - its time for our own fresh start ! Join me on the run around St Catherines Hill overlooking the beautiful Avon Valley and Christchurch Harbour.

Its Spring but as Easter was early it was very snowy on my trip up to Lincolnshire. The contrast was stark between the snow and the flowers in bloom. Join me on a theoretical Boston Marathon as we explore the strong links between the Boston Lincolnshire area and Boston MA. I’m in the small village of Tattershall exploring in the snow talking about sons of the area who played a crucial role in the formation of Boston USA

Theres another type of fresh start on a very early morning start on the Trailwalker training on the Isle of Purbeck, with the deer, sunshine and driving rain to contend with over a 22 mile trek.

Join Chloe who tells us about her special “mile with me” between Broom and Darwin in Australia

Music in this edition:

Title Tracks - Summers Day by Amb26  Dark Days of August by Amb26

Barbers Adagio for Strings by Tiesto remixed by Makrolon, Dream by CoreyCosmo
