Phil Moneypenny from Runcast.tv and I have lovingly recreated the video for "Take on Me" by "Aha" to aim to win ourselves a place in the famous "Drambuie Pursuit" event and we need your help! We need your votes for our video at www.DrambuiePursuit.com/teams/ and vote 5 stars for our team's video based upon the above song. Our team is called "Living the Dram". The top 10 teams go to the event and we would love to be able to bring you the experience of that weekend on Runcast.tv and the A Mile with Me Podcast. The more of you vote for us the better our chances of getting in to the event! Our team and video should be at the site shortly so check back if its not there when you read this! On mile 24 we also hear from Ciemon running across Salisbury Plain in Wiltshire, England and I also mention Krister from "Running the Narrow Path" podcast.

 1 by 1 Edition 6 - The Wall | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 33:20

On today's show I'm joined by friend of the podcasters and regular Extramile contributor Gary Wall, aka The Kinverkid. 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. Todays Classic Run Track is Comfortably Numb from (of course) the terrific Pink Floyd album "The Wall" All other music is supplied courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network at music.podshow.com Chopper@amilewith.me.uk Twitter - SteveChopper@Twitter.com www.amilewith.me.ukDownload Standard Podcasts

 Mile 020 - The Power of Music! | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 68:29

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 | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 82:20

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

 Mile 017 - Reach for the Stars | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 60:00

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)!!
