Ultra runners Keri Wallace and Kirsty Reade aren’t exactly shrinking violets in the face of doing hard things. Wallace, co-founder of Girls on Hills, has set multiple women’s Fastest Known Times on iconic UK mountain rounds, including the West Highland Way and Tranter's Round, both in winter. Reade has taken on some classic long-distance races, including the gruelling 330k Tor de Geants, Arc of Attrition and Northern Traverse. So you might think that Wallace’s new book, Running Challenges, for which Reade was Commissioning Editor, is all about running over gnarly terrain and epic distances. But you’d be wrong.
“The idea was to try and make it as accessible as possible rather than thinking of running challenges as something that you had to be a super awesome runner to do,” says Wallace.
