Or was it Extreme Running by Ranulph Fiennes ?
Ive got that book Al, its not bad.Ive found the title - Fit for Life by Ranulph Fiennes
Any of you read it?
Ive ordered sarah's book.
Try 'Survival of the fittest' by his polar exploring buddy Mike Stroud. That is a good book, reading that a few years back made me change my lifestyle and eventually get into running.
Survival of the Fittest is pure inspiration if you're getting on in years (like me). There's a whole thread about how we are socialised into believing that as we get older we need to slow down physically and ultimately give up hard physical exercise, and how this just doesn't stack up either historically or physiologically.
Like Sol I found that the book made me change my life. It made me realise that I've still got time to do the stuff I want to and that I might be a grey haired owld bloke but that's not going to stop me chucking myself at physical challenges.
Extreme Running by Kym McConnell and Dave Horsley
Another good Christmas book:
Long Days In Lakeland by Ronald Turnbull
I assume you have all got Joss by Keith Richardson
As a relatively new fell runner (unattached at present) I am in need of some basic technique advice and have been looking for Kev Shevells Uphill and Downhill Techniques respectively. I saw them referenced in the last Fellrunner and here on Xrunner's post but have exhausted the usual and obvious Amazon and Abebooks route with no success. Any advice/direction?
Try the Trail Guides website
Is 'Joss' only on sale on the site you linked xrunner?
No, many other bookshops will have or can obtain copies for you. e.g Pete Bland Sports
Ah, Ta!
Fantastic, thanks for your help.
