About the Book

For one brilliant season in 1983 the sport of fell running was dominated by the two huge talents of John Wild and Kenny Stuart. Wild was an incomer to the sport from road running and track. Stuart was born to the fells, but an outcast because of his move from amateur to professional and back again. Together they destroyed the record book, only determining who was top by a few seconds in the last race of the season. Running Hard is the story of that season, and an inside, intimate look at the two men by the author of It's a Hill, Get Over It and The Round.

Review :
`An in-depth and inspirational account of the fierce rivalry between John Wild and Kenny Stuart, two of mountain running's finest-ever exponents. Steve Chilton explores the background, the characters and the head-to-head battle for the title of 1983 British Champion between these two ultra-hard men of the fells, and captures the unique spirit of running in its purest and most extreme form.'-Julian Goater, author of The Art of Running Faster; 'Running Hard is a funny, in depth insight into well-known and not so well known champions but, cleverly and importantly, also the characters behind these champions. It's these characters that bring the book alive and make you wish you were stood on the fells watching their battles in real life and then listening to their post-race banter afterwards.'-Nicky Spinks, double Bob Graham Round record holder; 'Recollections of races and post-race celebrations by such top fell runners as Jos Naylor, Billy Bland, Hugh Symonds, Jack Maitland and Malcolm Patterson are filled with insight and humour, and demonstrate the unique blend of intense rivalry and friendship that typifies fell running.'-Jeff Norman, Olympic marathoner and former Fell Runner of the Year; 'A fascinating book that paints a captivating picture of an exciting head to head race for the ultimate championship title. Steve's race reports are as edge-of-your-seat as a car-chase in a film; you'll be devouring the words and turning the pages fast. He brings to life a whole new world of fell-running history - a must-read for every off-road runner.'-Claire Maxted, editor of Trail Running magazine; 'There is something primeval about hill running: a simple test of man versus mountain. The sport is a modern-day survival of the fittest and in the 1983 hill running season, two men literally seemed to be running for their lives.'-Jonny Muir, author of Isles at the Edge of the Sea; 'Kenny Stuart and John Wild are two of the greatest ever fell runners, with records that still stand today. This meticulously researched book is a compelling and fascinating account of their lives, and their rivalry and friendship.'-Steve Birkinshaw, fastest person to complete the 214 Wainwrights in one round; 'Two great athletes changed the face of fell running forever. Picture John Wild, road racing professional and international track and cross country champion, and Kenny Stuart, champion fell runner and winner of many classic mountain races, duelling over the toughest of terrains and weather conditions. Read of their courage, mental toughness and strategies in a modern, but almost Boys Own, battle and decide for yourself who is Wilson of the Wizard and who the Tough of the Track.'-Steve Jones, former holder of World Best time for marathon;
