Fellrunning inspiration #1

I am missing the hills at the moment. But the magic of Youtube has been filling me with inspiration (and stuff to fill the very long lock down days with) for both fellrunning and places to go when this is over. There are a lot of running and fellrunning and outdoorsy videos on Youtube but here are a few of my personal favourites particularly related to fellrunning:

Partly recorded in the Lakes, partly in Scotland this is quite a nice summary of fell running as seen by a runner from America which touches on some of the fellrunning legends. This series in general has some great stuff in it.

Done by a lovely bloke called Ed from CR Blacksheep, this video captures some of the problems of being a townie with a fell running problem.

Rival club but they did a nice job on this.

The story of Nicky Spinks and the Double Bob Graham was and sometimes still is my go to inspiration video for running. I used to watch it before my big events to remind myself that what I am aiming for is nothing. Beautiful shots of the Lakes. Inspiring woman.

If you aren't already down a rabbit hole of running and trail videos I can send you more. I'd also love to hear about other peoples favourites!
