Damian Hall, runner, coach, journalist, and author, comes on to talk about his new book, In It For The Long Run (out now from Vertebrate Publishing), looking at the rise of his ultra running career and recording breaking run along the Pennine Way in 2020.

He also has a number of record and FKTs to his name, such as the Pennine Way, South West Traverse, Cape Wrath Trail, Paddy Buckley Round, South West Costal Path. He represented GB at the World Trail Championships. He is also well known environmentalist, even picking up litter and being plastic free on his Pennine Way Record.
