Running Hard : The Story of a Rivalry

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. This is the story of the 1983 mountain running championship. It looks at two very different athletes' lives, Kenny Stuart and John Wild. The Championship in 1983 was much tougher than it is now, and after 15 races, the title was decided by just 20 seconds at the final race.
