Breaking The Pennine Way Record - Damian Hall

#inov8 #ultrarunning #DamianHall
In July 2020, ultra runner Damian Hall smashed the record for the fastest completion of the 268-mile Pennine Way.
The Pennine Way is Great Britain’s oldest - and arguably toughest - National Trail. It follows a remote upland spine, wriggling its way from Kirk Yetholm in the Scottish Borders to Edale in Derbyshire and incorporates around 37,000ft of gruelling ascent.
inov-8 ambassador Damian, who completed it in an incredible 61hrs 35mins, made his attempt Carbon Negative and fuelled without animal products or plastic waste.
The 44-year-old dad-of-two from Wiltshire, England, also collected litter from the trail as he went, running from north-to-south in the new TERRAULTRA G 270 shoes with Graphene-Grip. He was supported throughout by friends and fellow runners.

Superhuman. Done the "way" twice walking, I can't believe this is actually possible. Well done Damian, and John Kelly too.

[@MrWebbtang]

Amazing athleticism and inspiring ethics - I'm glad the algorithm gave me this video to watch. I've recently started running at age 40 and this inspires me to keep pushing aim high.

[@inov8__]

That's great to hear Ben! Good luck with the running and keep pushing those limits!

[@johnmiller5630]

I’m in total awe. What a humble genuine guy.

[@serenmx2]

Incredible achievement Damian! Love the message of sustainability too.

[@tbphotoshoptutorials3836]

Very inspirational, I love documentaries like this, gives me motivation to get out there!

[@Goggsy08]

Yes, great vid. Well balanced. Shows everything that there is to inspire from the attempt without plugging any of the products from Inov-8. I bought the same pair recently because of the full length video of the attempt. Great work Inov-8

[@owencavok1912]

Amazing effort by Damian. Also fantastic seeing ultra runners that push the message of being earth conscience. Using plant based products and cleaning up as he goes :)

[@andrewroberts8139]

Kudos to the film editors - an amazing feat of compression

[@waytze]

UK is a beautiful country for outdoor sports-ive spent almost all mine free time on transepeninne trail , still regret i left uk without do the trail from the start to the end. Anyway this guy big inspiration !

[@TheHutchRuns]

Great achievement Damian, enjoyed all the videos, doing the Yorkshire 3 Peaks in 3 weeks in Terraultra G270's, hopefully they will help!

[@ritahilla]

Wow, just wow. Amazing achievement and super inspiring message!

[@act2act204]

“How are you kevin” “I’m very well” “thank you for coming out” this is the most fell runner interaction.

[@JammyDodger45]

The Fell running/ultra community is unique and incredible. I've volunteered on The Spine Race a few times and participated twice and there is nothing else I've encountered that is as collaborative.

[@chrishutchins1086]

What an awesome achievement! Well done Damian and all who supported you! Inspiring stuff.

[@Jameswmin]

Awesome - well done Damian!

[@endurance-adventures]

Huge congratulations Damian- what an achievement! I think I saw you on Padon Hill on your second day! I didn't realise it was you though until afterwards else I would have cheered you on!

[@inov8__]

Thanks a lot for your message Stephanie, we'll be sure to pass it on to Damian as well. Really glad you enjoyed the film.

[@endurance-adventures]

Amazing achievement. Great film,

Very inspirational and I got the shoes because of this attempt. I love them and hope to see more records broken by athletes like Damian.

[@bobbyshafto3259]

Incredible !! What a man.

[@raymondfoo9045]

He broke the record while picking up litters along the way. That, I love!

[@jankaskyevitchjellbet7293]

Bullshit! Where and how many litters he collected?

Just AMAZING! Massive congrats and dont stop.

Thanks Martin!

[@JammyDodger45]

Nicky Lygo ... Spine Race legend, no one organises a Check Point better than her. She makes the whole CP process painless and smooth. I think I secretly love her (well I definitely did the 1st time i met her on the Spine and she gave me food, tea and a pull your socks up lad chat 😍)

[@patrickfitzgerald409]

Incredible physical and mental endurance!

[@lucymooch5821]

Awesome effort. Well done young man.

[@janettrigwell8851]

Just amazing currently listening to your book. I have my first ultra next month a mere 50k but hope to expand my distance in the next few years

[@michaelalbrecht3395]

Love Ultra Damo

[@dakotaztribe]

Beautiful film of a life defining experience. Question - Is the previous record holder the John Kelly of the Barclay Marathons?

[@TheBoxKit]

Yes it is :-) I listen to a podcast with John talking about his record and then it being broken a week later!

[@dakotaztribe]

TheBoxKit That’s amazing. Just watched Kelly’s epic victory against Gary Robbins in the 2017 Barclays

[@s6383]

Machine!

[@diegog.2899]

1:07 Colombian Full Power!

[@mountainmantararua8824]

Thinking of setting the record for the doing the fastest time on a skate board for the Pennine way.. Any advice ? 🤣🤣

[@alanrobinson2229]

Omg Is that Jess Palmer at 4.40 in tan hill? Hello from Alan (Congrats Damian)

[@hikerjoe3773]

If i remember rightly, the Pennine Way starts/ends from/at the post on the right side of the green he ran across, Not the pub. Any more of these shortcuts?

[@DanielEarlester]

Epic. Lockdown haircut that is.

[@pegasusairborne2978]

Carbon negative? Nice van. Lol

[@canningsimon]

Thinking you must believe you are funny "lol"? Or are you serious? Always somebody throwing shade. Hush up

[@pegasusairborne2978]

Lol

[@christianlangfield9303]

Haha that made me chuckle 😅

[@lindsaynewell6319]

Humble but awesome. 👏

[@rees4232]

I mean honestly who gives af about carbon footprints lol

[@canningsimon]

Brilliant run, very humble man, great team. Well done.

[@MatthewHinshelwood]

Spinks in your support crew - no wonder you smashed it! hehe 🤪

[@JammyDodger45]

Nicky Spinks is one of the few people who I've met who made me tongue tied and star struck. She's amazing.

[@bizzygeernaert-davies8306]

Superb effort. hat off to you sir. Massive well done to collecting all that rubbish off the trail.

[@SlicedSlappy]

Shoes made with new rubber....

[@domm1341]

I take my hat off to this chap. Inspirational!

[@terrydavidson5052]

I’m torn… would be more inspired if he was cutting old folks lawns And all the kit he’s wearing is flown around the world as is the vans he uses and the tech…. Etc etc etc Walked the way and enjoyed every minute and don’t see the point of rushing along it’s length or around mont Blanc There’s a want in some folk Great show of endurance though Although there’s a lad in my village just ran a marathon every day for a year

[@olafknauer571]

Die Frisur gefällt mir nicht, aber sonst klasse Leistung.

[@MrJimmywalton]

Took me fourteen days!

[@AshRolls]

Great watch thanks, well done Damian. Good to see you getting the Extinction Rebellion message out there.
