As one half, alongside wife Louise, of Phoenix Running, Rik Vercoe has created a hugely popular and inclusive race organiser. Phoenix offers a wide-range of races and was a pioneer in the creation of lapped events, encouraging runners of all abilities to feel comfortable at organised runs and achieve goals they often never even set out to do. Rik's own running career has certainly seen plenty of incredible goals smashed, from running a then record 152 marathons/ultras in a year to completing some of the toughest events around, including the North Pole Marathon and the Marathon des Sables. Running Tales also spoke to Rik about breaking the record for the fastest aggregate time to complete 10 marathons in 10 days, and discovered he has one last marathon ambition left.   ---------------------------------- Subscribe to our Substack newsletter at https://runningtales.substack.com If you like this episode please consider donating to help us keep going: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/stepforward

Rik Vercoe: Raising Phoenix Running Club out of the flames of a red hot running career

Most people will know Rik as being the Race Director from Phoenix Running but there is a lot more to this cowboy than people will realise.  He held the world record for 10 marathons in 10 days running 7 of those under sub 3 leaving with a sub 30hr accumulative time, he held the British Record for the most marathons ran in a calendar year, he has ran in some of the big races such as MDS, Great Wall of China, and the North Pole. In this episode we break down the Relentless Ultra which sounds pretty awesome, but it was Rik's ability to run marathon after marathon in incredible times that in my mind makes him so awesome. It didn't come easy, you can tell through this episode how focused and discplined he was to the training but also quite a bit of pig ignorance invovled. An amazing and genuine person, make sure you check out his website at Pheonixrunning.co.uk https://www.phoenixrunning.co.uk/ Click and register for The Finn McCool Virtual challenge on the link below, event starts on the 10th July it would be awesome to have you join us for a virtual tour of the 32 counties of Ireland.  https://www.sientries.co.uk/event.php?elid=Y&amp;event_id=7268 If you’re enjoying the podcast why not join us on our facebook page named The Inspirational Runner Podcast by clicking the link below. https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheInspirationalRunner/
