Fell-running's ultimate challenge: Bob Graham Round by Nicky Spinks

Nicky Spinks, a beef farmer, took up fell running in 2001. Five years later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, only to come back stronger.: breaking the record for fell-running’s ultimate challenge, the Bob Graham Round. But she did, however, always feel that she could have done better…
In April 2015 Nicky Spinks set out to beat her own women's record of 18 hours 12 minutes for the Bob Graham Round, the legendary Lake District fell running endurance challenge. This film follows both the literal and metaphorical highs and lows of her record attempt.
Farmer, record-breaking fell runner and cancer survivor Nicky Spinks was born in London. She moved to a farm in Glossop in her childhood and has loved the Peak District and surrounding moors ever since. Nicky took up competitive running in 2001.
Nicky's record attempt was supported by Inov-8: www.inov-8.com/

I'd say a lot of physical training too, mindset without the training is like a car with a huge battery but runs out of petrol.

[@daveevans5368]

@@wideawake914 yes I'd totally agree.
