Sport Relief - Scott's Miles From Hell


Viv

Recommended Posts

This particular feature was named by Chris Moyles.

Scott will be running one mile every day from 15th March 2010, but the mile will have an evil twist each day!!

Listeners will no doubt be able to donate online and via text (the same as for the cycle ride).

Good luck everybody!! :-)

He has indeed cut out the drink!! He is just having lime soda (I think it's lime soda).

He managed to be out in pubs, have people drinking around him, and not touch a drop.

Now that is blooming discipline!!

I was actually feeling quite cross this morning, when Scott said he ran 8 miles in just over an hour... it took me 1 hour and 20 minutes this morning to run 3 miles. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Yeah, he did..... couldn't do that ever.

It actually used to take me longer to run, but you get to the stage (the more you practice) that you can keep running for longer.

I knew I had a cappuccino with whipped cream + chocolate at the end of it, which was my motivation. Tee hee.

Surely not? If you're actually running it can't take that long. It wouldn't take that long to walk three miles.

Excuse me, I am an older listener, and lucky I can run at all. :):):) It used to take a lot longer.

I also stopped 3 times to stuff my face with mint chocolate sweets. :hahaha:

That is odd, Lee (above)...... you've pretty much had a premonition then.

... and a haggis, full English breakfast with pot of tea, a MaccyD's... ;)

You can get treatment for that nowadays............ :D

Are you a Doctor/chemist? You seem to know all these treatable conditions (and could probably do a better diagnosis than some of the utter quacks around here :rolleyes:)

:D;):P

by the way Viv, when are you doing your run ?

March 21st 2010 (Sunday) when all the S. R. runs take place across the U.K. Doing the Kilmarnock mile, the town where Chappers & Dave did their stuff a couple of years ago!!

Event begins at 12 and finishes around 2:30 pm, I believe???

Have done all roads now: the country roads; the hills; the seaside route; the road along the coast with a force 10 gale in my face..... :-)

Today = rocks + steps - though I'm not quite sure why I'm doing that, as there will be no rocks + steps in the park.

Anyway, Moyles said this morning that he wishes to find out at the same time as Scott what the "mile from hell" will be.

Imagine if it's running through mud?? Scott should hate that. Jo Whiley always says his trainers are immaculate.

Jo Whiley will also be running 3 miles this year... she began her training yesterday, March 7th.

God, so you're starting at 1030 for your six miles!! OMG!! That's only the time approx. we were told to be arriving at the Park.

Anyway, back to R1's efforts:-

Scott has been running and boxing with a new trainer... :-)

Greg James will shortly be sorting out a Sport Relief page, where listeners will be able to donate!! Great stuff :-)

Check out just some of his training by visiting Greg's blogs on the R1 website!! www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/

Scott has now been running through Hyde Park, with lycra shorts on, a helmet and a codpiece, feeling rather silly!! Must be quite a sight!!

To find out what a codpiece is, fact fans, click on the link:-

www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codpiece - you learn something new everyday, even things you would really rather not know!!

* I am currently injured - not that anyone will care, but I have done my shoulder and neck in, and am currently covered in Ibulieve * - at least it's this week, where I have time to get better.

    • Someone in fact posted about it on digital spy and its still on his instagram. James put up a story his dad was in hospital this weekend but it sounds like it's gone ok. That explains that
    • Nikita Kanda is covering the weekend mid afternoon slot a few times over the next few weeks, as is Ore.
    • No sign of James Cusack at Big Weekend. Ore Olukoga and Nikita Kanda were there. Will they be part of the weekend line-up over summer? Even Joel Mitchell and Tinea Taylor made it. 
    • I don't know about that but somebody's messed up with the dates on the lanyards this year, they're all the wrong date!
    • Is big weekend the only place to get long boi merch? It's sold out! I'd love to have got my hands on some. 
    • Considering the price of some festival event for a small portions can be pricey but it isn’t too bad that could get it with chips and other roast dinner bits. I think when you are billed as a touring high profile DJ there’s always a risk of playing out familiar tracks from other artists in the mix. Especially on a line-up with Chase and Status and Rudimental who will be playing pretty much all tracks written, produced and released as their DJing names.   
    • Matt & Mollie I believe (and on the radio occassional studio bits from Jack Saunders, Sam & Danni and Maia Beth).
    • Obvs - Scott 2-4 and Trevor Nelson are also in 82A
    • Who presented Party Anthems on stage?
    • Lots of adverts for Matt and Mollie around the place, alongside the rest of the weekday lineup, but no mention of Dean and/or Vicky. Although I notice those two are doing the photobooth today, as is Danny Beard…
    • Yesterday was excellent pretty much all day. You can tell a lot of work has gone into the festival and the set up was really good. The ground is fine for anyone worried, I wore old trainers and they’re still fine today.    Merchandise is available for some high prices. If you’re going for Longboi merch get it early as they sold out within the first couple of hours.    The photo booth is also good and we met Vick, Katie and Jamie for a few seconds and got a photo. If you’re doing this get there 15-20 minutes before the advertised time as they’re only 30 minute slots. It’s right next to the main stage so you can see everything going on there from the queue anyway. Most of the acts we saw were excellent. Becky Hill and Ella Henderson were brilliant live. Rudimental and Chase and Status were absolutely incredible. Nathan Dawe wasn’t great, played 3 of his own songs then dodgy remixes of Marvin Gaye, Dolly Parton etc. Went to Dimension halfway through which was must better. Saw 15-20 minutes of Eric Prydz which wasn’t really my thing but his staging was excellent.  The DJ sets in between everything were pretty good, especially Matt and Mollie and Charlie Hedges. Sam and Danni were a welcome change as they played indie anthems for a while although I think they may have just been the pre recorded anthems they usually play on weekends (still better than Nathan Dawe). Food was good, but pricey - £15 for my main meal of roast pork, stuffing, chips and Yorkshire pudding. I was surprised they were selling multipacks of Madri and bottles of wine, especially the latter as people were walking around swigging from glass bottles in the middle of the crowd then dumping them on the floor… the rubbish was a mess at the end of the night. Probably one of the best live music events I’ve ever been to, a real credit to the station. 
    • While there were some technical issues (tracks temporarily cutting out, mics not working at first for radio listeners, 'studio team' sometimes jumping in at quite random intervals) Party Anthems on stage seemed to work well and I sort of wonder why they haven't done it before. I guess it depends on when gates open but if gates open around 1/2pm then no excuse not to do it- it's a DJ set which they have loads of across the weekend and acts as a warm-up so the crowd are hot for the first main act.
    • They mentioned on air that it's before Joel Corry's set.
    • When is the set for Greg and Tom? I’m having trouble getting on to Insta and Google is not helping.
