Do you want to get a support crew together or have you been asked to support a friend doing an ultra marathon or long distance trail race? Find out how to create or be the best support crew ever from these pro these athletes and experts, including record-breaking trail and ultra runners Jon Albon, Camille Herron, John Kelly. Thanks to all the awesome interviewees that share their hard won knowledge and training advice in this film at the National Running Show 2020.
Sorry about the sound for some clips - please bear with. I do have some whizzy new wireless interview microphones now but this was last year when using a very temperamental mic, so there is some very frustratingly un-dimmable background noise in some, but the tips from the interviewees are worth persevering!

I like the "Don't take anything personal, and imagine your runner in the race as a toddler" advice. Makes sense - especially in a very long race :)

[@wildgingerruns]

Yes Anna makes a lot of sense doesn't she!

It is curious to hear quite different views from the top athlets about a support group on a long distance race . Well put together Claire .

This was interesting, an Ultra scares me

[@wildgingerruns]

Fab! Don;t be scared of ultra, it's just an excuse to run slowly / walk and eat loads of nice food ha ha ha!
