Books By Steve Chilton - Author

Steve Chilton is the author of five previous books on fell and mountain running, all highly regarded both inside and outside the sport. He took up writing about the sport whilst still working in academia, as an Educational Development Manager. His first book, It’s a Hill, Get Over It, won the Bill Rollinson Prize for Landscape and Tradition. He is a long-time member of the Fell Runners Association. He has run in many of the classic fell races, as well as mountain marathons, and has completed the Cuillin Traverse and the Ridgeway 40. Although never having raced the Three Peaks, he did have an epic banana-fuelled training run round the course one year with three club mates. Steve is a UKA qualified middle- and long-distance coach and has coached and mentored many men and women, and young athletes, over the last four decades. He shares his life, and an allotment, with his wife Moira.
