Steve Chilton: Inside the World of Fell Running 📖⛰️

This week we're joined by fell running historian and author Steve Chilton for a really interesting conversation about the history, quirks and community behind one of the UK's most unique forms of running.We start by breaking down the difference between fell running, mountain races, mountain ultras and FKTs, and what makes fell running so different - from route choice and navigation to the community feel and low-key nature of the events. We also chat about some of the unusual places you can find fell races taking place.Steve shares his own journey into running, the training lesson that shaped his coaching philosophy, and why he believes training needs to be individual rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.We also get into the history of women in fell running, navigation skills and tips for getting better at running technical descents.Find Steve's books: https://itsahill.wordpress.com/Find fell races: https://www.fellrunner.org.uk/racesIntroductory sessions for women: https://www.girlsonhills.com/Send us Fan MailThis episode is sponsored by Empowered2. Most businesses significantly underinvest in leadership development.Leadership development should be bespoke and appropriate for the needs of your business, adding value by improving the performance of everyone involved with immediately deployable tools and techniques.Jon helps organisations serious about creating high performing leaders and organisations to create meaningful, memorable and lasting leadership legacy. Support the show
