Description

In It for the Long Run is the story of Damian Hall's record-breaking attempt on the Pennine Way in 2020. For over 30 years, the Fastest Known Time (FKT) record for the trail had stood, set by Mike Hartley in 1989. Hall's attempt not only broke Hartley's record but also reduced it by two hours, a remarkable achievement.

Hall's record-breaking run was more than just a test of endurance - it was also a platform to highlight environmental issues. He aimed to make his attempt carbon negative, using no plastics and collecting litter as he ran. Hall, a vegan, also used no animal products during his attempt, a personal choice that reflected his values.

This book tells the story of Hall's four-year preparation for his attempt, as well as the run itself. With a dry wit and humour, Hall shares his experiences, including the deranged world of midlife crisis ultramarathon running and record attempts. A unique and fascinating insight into the world of record-breaking running, In It for the Long Run is a compelling read for anyone interested in the sport or the environment.
