Our running book of the month for May 2021 is 'In It For The Long Run' by Damian Hall.
Hosts Char and Jak welcome Toby Fells to the podcast for the first time. Toby is a trail runner, photographer and founder of Queer Runnings (he's also Char's coach).
They chat all things ultra marathons, FKTs, food on the fells and their own running adventures that have been inspired by this book.
About the book:
In It for the Long Run is ultrarunner Damian Hall’s story of running a first marathon aged thirty-six, dressed as a toilet, and representing Great Britain four years later. His midlife-crisis running problem escalated to 100-mile ultramarathons and record-breaking bimbles, culminating in his 261-mile Pennine Way run in July 2020.
Packed with dry wit and humour, In It for the Long Run tells of Hall’s nine-year preparation for his attempt, and of the run itself. He also gives us an autobiographical insight into the deranged, custard-splattered, hedgehog-dodging world of ultramarathon running and record attempts.
