1,000 Miles at 60: Bob Yates on Running the Length of Britain
Update: 2025-07-03
Description
In this episode of the UKRunChat Podcast, we chat to Bob Yates, who is nearing the end of a monumental challenge — running the length of Britain from Land's End to John O'Groats to celebrate his 60th birthday.
We hear how Bob went from a treadmill in the bedroom just over 10 years ago when he took up running, to training for ultras and signing up for a 1,000+ mile adventure. He talks about why he fuels his running on a vegan diet, what the journey has taught him, and how he’s raising money for a charity funding life-changing surgery for children in Uganda.
