Author Biography Damian Hall is a parent, accidental activist and record-breaking ultrarunner who has represented Great Britain and competed in some of the worlds toughest races. His attempt to break into the top ten at the 105-mile Ultra-Trail du Mont Blanc was made into an award-winning film, Underdog; and the documentary Totally FKT followed him and John Kelly as they raced to break the Pennine Way record in 2020. Damian has also set records on the Paddy Buckley Round, the South West Coast Path, the Cape Wrath Trail, and Wainwrights Coast to Coast. He is a UK Athletics running coach and a widely published journalist who has made regular contributions to Runners World, Womens Running and Trail Running. His previous books include In It for the Long Run, A Year on the Run and the official National Trail guide to the Pennine Way. He is a founding member of The Green Runners (thegreenrunners.com), a community of runners working towards a fitter planet. He is a big fan of midlife-crisis haircuts and tea.
