Trail & ultra running from Wild Ginger Running
Sports:Running
Utterly delighted to chat this week to my former teacher Anne Wade who played a major part in my addiction to long distance hiking and running. Mrs. Wade (really hard to call her Anne!) took over the DofE at our school where I did the Gold award, and she took a group of us camping and hiking the 190mile Wainwright’s Coast to Coast walk over 2 weeks which I’ll never forget.

I clung limpet-like to her as she navigated her team around the Tour de Trigs 50 mile hike because I knew that would be the only way our tired team would finish (sneaky!) and she and Mr. Milton (my geography teacher) also arranged for us to do a 4-week World Challenge expedition to Bolivia in 2000 where we climbed some proper big mountains.
I remember one assembly it was announced that Mrs. Wade had walked 100 miles all in one go and it just blew my mind that that was even possible! And here she is today now in her early 60’s running them, and also organising them! The Elephant, Bear and Bull 100 (EBB 100) Long Distance Walkers Association (LDWA) event will start on Sat 27 May in the Midlands, starting in Birmingham and circling round Henley, Stratford, Warwick, Leamington, Kenilworth, Coventry (where I’m from), Meriden and Solihull.
Mrs. Wade was very influential during my formative years, so I am really thrilled she has agreed to come on and share her secret to 100 miler success and hear more about the EBB 100 this May.
