eleanor adams - she used to run for a nottingham club. remember doing sheffield marathon with her few years ago and few ultras - very very nice lady. loads off stamina and endurance! she'd run for hours and hours and hours.!
Actually, if I am correct, Eleanor used to run for Sutton Harriers. A Nottinghamshire club, not Nottingham. Though I might be technically wrong as she may have left them for Notts AC.
A lovely lady, used to go to the same chapel as my Grandmother. Mad as a box of frogs, last time I saw her she was running through South Normanton pushing her little one in a buggy, weaving all over the place cheering up the little one no end.
Joss Naylor was the name that sprang to my mind before I looked at the list. I guess you are right and fell running is a bit to off the wall. 70 peaks at the age of 70 is one mean achievement in itself.

Not heard of 5, 6 and 7 before... but can't argue with the others from what I know of them.
Nice to see the media-whore Dean Karnazes not in the list, far greater runners than him across the years
I dont know how you define 'ultra' in this case, but one of the greatest endurance/ultra runners has to Joss Naylor surely?
Or is fell-running a bit too-off-the-wall???

An inspiration for my (failed) foray into ultra running.
Must ask her next time I see her, where did I go wrong??
I will always remember Gran (with understatement) saying she knew a young lady from the chapel who "does a bit of running."
*ahem*
very good muzzy.
i think globally joss loses out a little.. would be interesting to construct a UK list.
or maybe a RW one.. then i might actually feature!
no lists!
Please
of to look now
oh,
I see your point fat buddah
