Well for a time fell running became a topic of fashion: every newspaper and magazine and comic (and some TV programmes) would have to print/show its own "me too" article on what adventurous activity some non-runner participated in last weekend to show it was up to date with the latest trend (I almost wrote zeitgeist) .
