Running Book Reviews with Alan and Liz
Feet In The Clouds, by Richard Askwith
Feet in the Clouds is a deep dive into the world of fell running. It talks about the history of the sport, some of its GOATs like Bill Teasdale and Kenny Stuart, and professional vs amateur races. At the same time, the author tells the story of his own journey in fell running and his quest to complete the Bob Graham Round in under 24 hours.
Richard Askwith is a UK Northamptonshire-based journalist and author whose passions include running, outdoor adventure and the traditions and ordinary people of the English countryside. He has written six books including Running Free and Today We Die a Little (the story of famous Czech Runner Emil Zatopek and the subject of a previous episode which you can listen to here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/976876/episodes/8948352 ).
