I never cease to be amazed at the lack of media interest in our endurance mountain runners. Yes, from time to time, the press take an interest but most of the time incredible records go unoticed. So for all those taking part in the Mont Blanc race September 2008 well done and especially to a British runner Lizzy Hawker 14th overall and first woman home. Lizzy has a number of firsts in endurance mountain races (Davos, Zermatt to name but two) but how many sports journalists know about it? She does however have a blog http://www.lizzyhawker.blogspot.com/ which I found interesting.

Thankfully, our endurance athletes themselves don't seem to be concerned about the lack of coverage but wouldn't it be nice for the wider public to hear about their epic achievements?
