ОБ ЭТОМ ЭПИЗОДЕ
This weeks interview guest is a true pioneer of British fell and mountain running — Martin Stone. From becoming the first to complete a solo, unsupported winter Bob Graham Round in 1987, to winning the legendary 1992 Dragon’s Back Race alongside Helene Diamantides and dozens of other records alongside, Martin has spent decades pushing the limits of endurance in the mountains. As the very first recipient of the FRA Long Distance Award back in 1987, he has gone on to oversee the legacy of long distance mountain running in the UK, chairing the award panel and providing support to countless record attempts right up to today. He recounts stories of his own winter records, helping Kilian Jornet and Jack Kuenzle on their BG attempts and talks about the evolution of kit and safety from the 1980s through to present day. A hugely respected figure in the sport, Martin’s stories capture the spirit, hardship and adventure of classic fell running.
