RWR-003-Virgin | 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 "s*****m tightening" chaffing story that will get you giggling, from HonestJim from the UK.

RWR-002-Naked Running | This is Episode 2 of Run World Radio, a free audio podcast for runners everywhere. 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.

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.

Mile-040-Rosie Runs the World | Monday, 3 May 2010 Mile-040-Rosie Runs the World In 2003, Rosie Swale Pope ran around the world solo and unsupported in the spirit of adventure and also to raise funds for cancer and children's charities. It was one in a whole series of amazing challenges that she has set herself and successfully completed over the years. We hear about some of these on today's episode of the A Mile with Me podcast. Her latest target is to run 27 marathons in 27 days around the south of England and Wales to raise money for children's hospices I joined up with her as she ran through Portsmouth a great naval city on the South Coast of England.

Mile-039-The Grizzly 2010 | Monday, 22 March 2010 Mile-029-The Grizzly 2010 Hi and welcome to Mile 39 of the A Mile with Me podcast! Today you join me at The Grizzly 2010 - Beauty and the Beach, an annual 20 mile all terrain run along the South Devon coast at Seaton. It was lovely weather as I joined my Twitter friend and AMWM listener Iain, from the North Devon Triathlon Club (left). Iain is going to Kona later this year as a qualified age grouper at the Ironman Hawaii world championships so hes a true athlete! Join me as we run along the beach, through rivers, fields of slurry, tough wooded hills and the infamous river bogs of Branscombe on this fantastic race put on by the Axe Valley Runners. Its testament to the route and the organisers that many of the people I spoke to on this race have all run 9 or more Grizzlys - it really is an experience. Around every corner is a new hazzard and the sound on the wind of music of many types. How many races have a Scottish piper at the top of one tough hill, followed by a Tibetan temple with bongos and diggeridoo - then as you run through the fields you pass a lonely house with a beautiful girl sat playing a solo fiddle in the garden? Its this spirit of community involvement that makes this race special. Join us for the ambience and the run plus a chat with Iain about Kona. http://www.axevalleyrunners.org.uk/ http://www.northdevontri.co.uk/ Follow Iain on Twitter @Devoniain Chris Russel appears courtesy of http://www.runrunlive.com/ Music is Black Rum by The Big Sea thanks to the podsafe music network music.podshow.com Download Standard Podcasts | 3/22/10 | Free | View In iTunes |

Mile-037-Magna Carta | Mile-037-Magna Carta Welcome to Mile 037 of A Mile with Me. Join me in Runnymede near Windsor, a pleasant meadow on the side of the River Thames where in 1215, King John under pressure and needing the support of his barons, signed over over to them significant rights. These included the concept of habeas corpus or the ability to appeal against unlawful imprisonment. It also enshrined the concept of sentence proportionate to offence and led to trial by Jury. It is seen as one of the most important documents in the English speaking world and key elements are in the constitution of Commonwealth nations and that of the United States and the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Mile-036-Athens Classic Marathon | Mile-036-Athens Classic Marathon The Athens Classic Marathon follows the route between the town of Marathon itself and Athens in Greece. In 490BC a great battle took place on the Plains of Marathon that altered world history. The Athenians defeated a much larger Persian army in a real turning point. If they had lost then there would have been no Classical Greek civilisation and western world as we know it. According to legend, a messenger called Phedippides ran the 26 miles to Athens to proclaim the victory and the Marathon run was born! Its a packed edition - I am in Marathon for the opening ceremony of the Athens Classic Marathon and the start of the celebrations of the 2500th anniversary year in 2010. We hear from the Mayor of Marathon is a special wish exclusively recorded for the listeners to this podcast. We also catch up with a few of the participants and hear the sounds of Athens and my explorations, plus of course my report from the race. The chap above is Gregoris Lambrakis, a Greek athlete and democracy campaigner who started a Peace Marathon along the same route in 1963. He was assassinated shortly afterwards but through his actions inspired modern democracy in Greece. We hear his inspirational story as we explore the terrific new running musuem at Marathon. http://www.athensclassicmarathon.gr/ site of the Athens Classic Marathon http://www.mongoliamarathon.com/ the first Mongolian International Marathon Feel free to mail me chopper@amilewith.me.uk, visit my website for all the previous editions and shownotes at http://www.amilewith.me.uk/ and follow me on Twitter @SteveChopper Posted by SteveChopper at 16:30 0 comments Download Standard Podcasts | 12/29/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Mile-035-Antarctica, Goodwill to all Men | Mile-035-Antarctica, Goodwill to all Men In this special Christmas edition of the A Mile with Me podcast we catch up with Phil Moneypenny, a good friend of mine and owner of RuncastTV. I have been lucky enough to run with Phil several times this year as the Run Net Community in the UK have gathered to meet for real. One of these occasions was on Midsummers Day in June as Phil, our friend Ciemon and I ran together across the fields of Wiltshire to see the dawn rise at Stonehenge which we recorded for an earlier episode of this podcast. It occurred to me that as I was recording this edition of the podcast today that it is actually Midsummers Day in Antarctica, so its quite apt to hear from Phil and to send the good wishes from around the world to Phil for Xmas Day. The above picture is not doctored, its the aurora and part of the Halley IV base where Phil is right now. So on todays episode we talk about people, community, the Antarctic - and how in this sometimes difficult world people are still building and sharing and making connections and things happen.

The event took place on a closed road circuit that made its way through the park. The route passed the Buddhist Peace Pagoda which was built in 1985 as a symbol of universal peace and followed the river bank. The weather was nice and sunny.

I was lucky enough to be able to go along to the opening ceremonies and torch parade in Marathon on Saturday 7th November. This comparatively small gathering was attended by the President of Greece, the Deputy Minister of Culture, the Mayor of Marathon and members of the AIMS (Association of International Marathons organisers) symposium who were also meeting in Marathon for the weekend. Also you get a glimpse of the new Marathon Museum, opened officially by the Greek President that day and the historic starting line of the first Olympic Marathon (1896), in Marathon itself. I recorded interviews with some interesting people including the Mayor of the City of Marathon himself who has recorded a special and exclusive wishes for all listeners to the A Mile with Me podcast.

Mile-031-The World in Union | Its 175 years this year since a turning point in the world of worker and human rights in the UK. This revolution led to the legitimisation of workers forming unions and led us on the path to wider access to the vote, and ultimately towards the welfare state and the National Health Service, which was 60 last year. Whatever your views of the NHS, its philosophy of "access to medical treatment based upon need and not the ability to pay" was revolutionary and a model for many other countries and of course this agenda is current in the US right now. It is on the surface strange that this story was played out in the rural area of Dorset not the industrial midlands, however although the stone was metaphorically dropped into the water at Tolpuddle, the ripples were felt across Britain, Australia and Canada. Join Lybbe from the fiftycountingdown podcast (www.fiftycountingdown.blogspot.com) as she picks up the Tolpuddle Trail through to a cemetary in London, Canada (she took the pic above!) Come with us then on this inspirational story in Mile 31, as we have music and atmosphere from the Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival 2009, music from Billy Bragg and hear from Tony Benn, a stalwart of British Politics as he describes the importance of the Martyrs story through to today. I also tell you about the Dream Inspires, a unique opportunity for YOU to literally follow in the footsteps of Sir Roger Bannister in October, and hear about how I will be following the footsteps of Pheidippidies by running from Marathon to Athens in Greece in November.

Mile-028-Run to Pegasus - Project65.net | 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. Thanks to Danny Greeno, organiser of The Run to Pegasus and all the folks you will hear from in this episode. www.project65.net Music from the podsafe music network at music.podshow.com The Essentials - Bells of FreedomDownload Standard Podcasts | 6/23/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Mile-026-Born to Run- a conversation with author Christopher McDougall | "Born to Run" is the fabulous new book by Christopher McDougall, a journalist who has written extensively for Runners World and Mens Health. Its in part "Boys Own" adventure story, part a guide to the ultrarunning phenomena and part anthropological exploration of how we as human beings are quite literally Born to Run. Chris's adventures take him ultrarunning with the remote Tarahumara tribe in Mexico, probably the greatest ultrarunners on the planet. We find out through the evolution of his story that distance running is what YOUR body was actually DESIGNED to do.. its its purpose! Its a great book with the stories of some of amazing running companions, the greatest US ultraunners alive, who pit themselves against the Tarahumara in the Copper Canyons of Mexico. No less than Lloyd Bradley, author of The Rough Guide to Running describes it as "Quite simply the best book you'll ever read about running.. brilliant and brilliantly life affirming" I was lucky enough to meet up and run with Chris recently across central London and through the Royal Parks. Join us and share our conversation about the creation of Born to Run and some of his great running stories. http://www.amazon.com/Born-Run-Hidden-Superathletes-Greatest/dp/0307266303/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF88s=books8qid=12423345328sr=8-1 The version of Springsteen's "Born to Run" was by Frankie Goes to Hollywood http://www.amilewith.me.uk/ chopper@amilewith.me.uk www.twitter.com/SteveChopper Download this episode (right click and save) Download Standard Podcasts | 5/14/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Mile-025-Riders on the Storm | Mile-025-Riders on the Storm - the story of the OMM - the worlds first, biggest and most famous mountain marathon The Original Mountain Marathon (OMM, formerly known as the Karrimor International Mountain Marathon) is the world's first, biggest and most famous mountain marathon. An annual event since 1968, it is also widely regarded as the worlds first adventure race. From origins in the north of England, the team have since taken the event and philosophy all over the world. Its a tough event comprising of 2 marathon distances over the most punishing terrain. Competitors must be highly skilled in navigation and survival skills as well as being athletes, and the event owners take no chances and run adventure training courses. Participants must also comply with strict equipment and basc skill rules. In 2008, the event was called off midway through for the first time in its history following torrential rain. The county of Cumbria invoked its emergency response protocol after being called by parties that perhaps had their own interests, who stated that 1000s of people were unaccounted for. This was the main headline on the national news and on the front page of all the main national papers. On Edition 25 of the A Mile with Me podcast I'm joined by Mike Parsons, a member of the family who founded the Karrimor brand who has been involved in the OMM from the start and now owns the event, for a unique discussion. We talk about the history of the event, the innovations it has brought to equipment design and mapping globally, plus of course discuss the events last year. Its clear from Mike and the voices of particpants that they were all trained and equiped to take part, and that the response from those who were not close to the event was a big overreaction. Whilst nobody blames the emergency services and those members of the public who answered the call for assistance in good faith, there are still unanswered questions as to who called them in. Join me as we hear the exciting story of the OMM, and the true strory of the event that knocked Obama and the recession off the headlines for a day! www.theOMM.comDownload Standard Podcasts | 4/26/09 | Free | View In iTunes |

Gary was on holiday down here in Bournemouth, so (naturally!) we go for a run along the seafront and chat about our running and plans. We discuss the Swift Half Marathon, which Gary and I (plus a host of other UK podcasters and bloggers) have signed up to run in Matlock, Derbyshire in May. We also discuss brewery tours, "CSI Kinver", the places hes visited in my local area plus the story of an amazing challenge Gary and his pals have set themselves; soon they will be running the 85 mile length of Hadrians Wall (think Great Wall of China on a smaller scale!). The wall marked the northern boundary of the Roman Empire and for them the end point of civilisation, but as Gary and I love the Scottish we dont draw any modern conclusions on that!!! ;o) Gary and his team are doing the event for a good cause so pop on over to www.kinverkid.blogspot.com and find out more.

Mile 020 - The Power of Music! | Music can be a powerful motivational tool for runners. With the advent of small MP3 players (with no moving parts to jog about!) it is now very easy to take our favourite sounds (including podcasts) on the run with us. We make our own playlists of songs we like, or ones that have meaning for us. We can however now utilise the latest scientific research to help us to use music to its maximum effect. On Mile 020, Dr Costas Karageorgis from Brunel University in London explains how through his world leading research we can all select better music for our runs. 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.

Mile 019 - Tommie Smith, The Sound of Silence | As any salesman knows, there is nothing as powerful as silence, and silence plus an image can convey more than many pages of text. 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.Download Standard Podcasts | 11/2/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Mile 017 - Reach for the Stars | The builders of England's medieval cathedrals had ambition, drive and belief: all qualities of a successful runner! They felt that building tall brought them closer to god. Whatever sprirituality you have, there can be no doubting their endeavour and the sheer beauty that they left behind. Join me as I discuss how human beings have always "reached for the stars", from the Pyramids of Egypt to the Burj Dubai. Join me on a late evening run alongside the medieval walls surrounding the historic city of Southampton as we discover how the two most famous ships in history (separated by 300 years) both departed from the same dock as I run along it. This week I was also in Salisbury, where the cathedral (above) is celebrating its 750th anniversary this year. Its the worlds tallest structure (built before 1500) that remains standing. Another English church, Lincoln Cathedral, was the tallest structure in the world for 250 years from 1300 until its spire toppled in 1549. Its a testament to the amzing ambition of its creators that its original height was not surpassed for almost 600 years (the Washington Memorial in 1884) People are still reaching for the stars .. its the old saying "Reach for the stars and you may hit the moon". Join one person, Carole Loader, who has just done that and decided she would run the full length of Great Britain, 1250 miles, at the pace of just under a marathon a day for 10 weeks. Hear her incredible story and the planning that goes into it, as Carole and I run round a local golf course and talk about her achievement. Fidn out how she was fueled by sugary tea and the same special diet as Michael Phelps (on occasion)!!

Mile 016 -What I Talk About When I Talk About Running | "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running" is the new book by Haruki Murakami, the Japanese novelist which in my view is the literary equivalent of a running podcast. Murakami is not only a top writer but also a seasoned marathoner and triathlete. We join him in spirit on a "long run" as his book shares his life in running and thoughts with us. I talk about the book whilst travelling along the banks of the River Stour 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!

Mile 015 - Faster, Higher, Stronger! | Faster, Higher, Stronger is the motto of the Olympic Games and the theme of today's show: HIGHER: As we leave Beijing, follow the Olympic spirit to London, home of the 2012 games as we run the Nike+ Human Race from Wembley Stadium, London. This event is aiming HIGH - to get 1 million people running 10k on the same day. Listen to my report from a rainsoaked London (pics above). FASTER: The worlds fastest self-propelled human being is Sam Whittingham, who has piloted his streamlined bike to 81mph (130.34kph). Sam joins me on the show and we talk about his records, the events he takes part in, the remarkable machines involved and the crazy way he has to accomodate his frame within the... er... frame! We also discuss his recent bike ride with Lance Armstrong and Gary Fischer. STRONGER: I share my "Top 5 Olympic Oddities", and the incredible story of Betty Robinson, the first ever female Olympic medalist and her amazing survival from near death, coma and disablement to mount an Olympic comback. Its a tale of immense strength. As I run around RAF Coningsby, I talk about the Eurofighters that are based there, its one of the worlds fastest, powerful and nimble aircraft All this on Edition 15 of the A Mile With Me podcast.

Mile-013 William Penny Brookes - Olympic Champion | William Penny Brookes has been widely recognised as the founding father of the modern Olympic Games, but surprisingly not that many people are aware of him or his remarkable life. 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.

Mile-012 Digging Deep | **Check out my website at www.amilewith.me.uk** 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". http://www.bournemouthreef.com/ http://www.pooleandbournemouth.co.uk/content/view/88/55/ I also explore how focussing on improving concentration can help when you need to dig deep at that crucial point.
