When it comes to fell running, Nicky Spinks is nothing short of a legend. She's gone from holding the female record for the Bob Graham (BG) Round, a 66 mile route across 42 Lake District fells that must be completed inside 24 hours to, after recovering from cancer, setting records for the Bob Graham Double; yes 2 laps inside 48 hours! Since then she has become the only person to do either a Paddy Buckley Double or a Charlie Ramsay Double, two laps of the the Welsh and Scottish equivalents, as well as competing in the infamous Barkley Marathon. In this interview I wanted to try to understand how she can run such phenomenal distances across such difficult terrain in record times. www.runbg.co.uk Nicky on Twitter Nicky on Instagram Nicky on Wikipedia Book Recommendations:Feet in the Clouds by Richard Askwith The Lost Art of Running by Shane Benzie This episode was sponsored by Inov-8 and TRIBEathlonThis episode was sponsored by The Trusted Team and 4th Discipline
