"A lot of things that we think are bad in everyday life are actually quite insignificant. Running is my hobby, so it's actually my choice to put myself there, and put myself through this misery. Whereas cancer was never a choice." This quote really stuck with me. Incredible film.

Just watched this again. As one who had a few fell races having read ‘Feet in the Clouds’. Had both hips replaced a few years back, and blood cancer treatment three years ago. Finding my feet again on the hills of Somerset having moved from London. Now 66 years young. Nicky, this is pure inspiration! What you’ve achieved is totally amazing… Enjoy 🌈
Love this, what a location to run, beans on toast, food of British champions for decades. "Once you have been running in the hills you don't go back to roads and 10k's" - Yes
+Nigel Not true for everyone. There are trail runners who still compete on the road. And there are ultra runners who still compete on the road too. And some go back to just road running.
Such a fantastic and inspiring woman. And also: I love how Joss Naylor is titled ‘Fell Running Legend’ and how he and Roger were supporting Nicky. Real fellowship!
Absolutely brilliant and well done Nicky! Thank-you for sharing your experience with breast cancer, really hope inspiring. And cheers to the director and his crew for doing such a great job of capturing and combining both of Nicky's journeys: through the hills and through her cancer.
A total inspiring film with excellent footage that compliments this ladies finger to the big 'c' as oppose to her thumbs up to life! Watchable again and again 👌
Watched a lot of these on you tube and I have to say that this is for me the most motivational. A real person with a great out look. Such a pleasure to watch thank you
Amazing achievement, what an inspiration, especially to those of us who are older and often doubt what our bodies are capable of achieving in our later years.
I love INOV-8, its design and its initiatives. A hug to these warriors of nature and history. They are an inspiration to us, the youngest ... Greetings from Portugal
What a mind blowing achievement, simply thinking the figures through is boggling. I wish you great prosperity in all you seek Ma'am..... (Oh...& I do so envy your husband.....!!)
Amazing! Some people just make it look so easy.. I can just about run a marathon, and will hopefully move on to beginner ultras, but I won't look as fresh as her. Wish I lived closer to the lakes,, love visiting, and have my first official "fell" run at the festival this year.. Can't wait!
I "met" Nicky once -- cruising easily past me in the Borrowdale Fell Race 2015, on the Corridor Route. I'll [attempt to] follow her, I thought, she looks like she really knows what she's doing. I didn't know the half of it! (I *did* know the half of a double BGR, but slower paced than this, so it really hit home seeing it all again.) An absolute legend, a phenomenal athlete, and an inspiration.
Great achievement, Nicky is a truly inspiring personality. @Inov8 the movie is great but could benefit greatly from captioning. We foreigners also want to experience every drop of the adventure.
El documental es muy bueno, y la proeza de la señora es increíble. Pero es que no la dejan sola ni un momento, la llevan entre algodones. Eso no me ha gustado.
Now they can try to do the Baldy Marathon 100 miler which nobody has finished yet. The Southern California Barkley... After that she might have to change her name to "Nicky Spanks"...
I don't know why you feel the need to sh*t on others. There are ways of praising one´s accomlishments without putting other people down. But while we are at it, this doesn't look that hard compared to some of the ultras in the US. In particular, one thing you do NOT have to deal with is elevation and elevation gain. The highest mountain in the UK is Ben Nevis at mere 1340m. Any race in the Rockies is brutally and vastly harder. Leadville 100 goes up to almost 4000m. Speaking of self-navigated races, there's Barkley marathons, which so far, no woman ever finished. SO therere's that.
Tuesdays Runner FYI, Mark Williams was a Brit (but I do agree with the basic argument that there are many US ultras as tough or tougher than ‘the round’).
Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life is? If all of human history will one day be destroyed, than does your legacy really matter? Does what your putting all of your effort into make a difference in the long run? The answer is yes it does but probably not for the reason you think. God is eternal and he created you as an eternal being and so your purpose is actually eternal. You were made for relationship. God thinks relationship is so important that he actually died on a cross to show how serious he is about wanting a relationship with you. You see God is love and the only way that you can love someone is by knowing the source. He gives you a new heart as you surrender your old heart to Him. So if you want to know what this is like I invite you to right now ask God for forgiveness. Turn away from your sinful lifestyle and give your heart to the one who cares. Jesus has changed my life and he wants to change yours too. If you have a bible I encourage you to read the gospel of John and ask God to change your heart. Have a blessed day!
She is an elite runner, she holds the absolute records for all three British double rounds and is the only person to finish all three double rounds, she also held the records for all 3 single rounds simultaneously until 2016.

Thanks for this story Nicky and taking us along on your run. Thanks to everyone involved. Helps a lot!

+Nigel She must have taken quite a few breaks on the trail eating all those beans...
A pleasure to watch.
Thank you.
The Lakeland fells are magnetic. Whenever I visit and get up in the high places it just makes me want to go on and on. Such an amazing place.
Talking to myself here; but what an outstanding achievement, and film.
Wow! Nicki is such an inspiration, her ongoing legacy should be taught in schools!
Mind blown!!
Great film, great production just simply amazing!!! ❤
Watched this for the first time tonight - wow, what an incredible achievement by a lovely lady. Hats off to her fabulous support crew too.
Man that fish and chips looks good. Nice to see Roger Baumister getting some credit… absolute legend.
Such a fantastic and inspiring woman. And also: I love how Joss Naylor is titled ‘Fell Running Legend’ and how he and Roger were supporting Nicky. Real fellowship!

Truly inspirational lady. An incredible feat of endurance -especially after battling against the Big C!
Beautiful film ,thank you 👍👍
Remarkable will and strength of character, a true inspiration.
Incredible achievement! Thank you for the inspiration hit. Great video!
Ho
Incredible, what a hero.

Absolutely phenomenal!
Absolutely incredible achievement. Massively inspirational. Brilliant Nicky, just brilliant!
a true Brit - lots of courage and realism-fab effort
+sr So all I need is a farm and the British chicks will come running to milk the cows and goats???
Amazing achievement, what an inspiration, especially to those of us who are older and often doubt what our bodies are capable of achieving in our later years.
+Les Jack La Lane did many amazing things well into his 90s. And doubt is something that everyone has to overcome in some way...
Truly inspiring, what a wonderful lady!!!
Very well done. I love the scenery.
Wow.... So much respect. Amazing effort and this film really give back what fell running is about =)
Amazing...and so inspirational!!
Brilliant,just brilliant. Truly inspirational!
What an incredible journey, defeating cancer and completing an amazing challenge. Motivation for ultra runners. Great job¡
+Pachoman She considers herself a Fell Runner not an ultra runner...I think. But maybe she is a fell runner who does ultras...
Awesome lass! I must put the BG on my bucket list before I get much older.
Pushing yourself further through the pain and in those amazing views. What an epic journey!
Incredible achievement. What a woman!
what an inspirational collection of footage - thankyou
I love INOV-8, its design and its initiatives. A hug to these warriors of nature and history.
They are an inspiration to us, the youngest ...
Greetings from Portugal

What a mind blowing achievement, simply thinking the figures through is boggling.
I wish you great prosperity in all you seek Ma'am.....
(Oh...& I do so envy your husband.....!!)
massive achievement. fantastic effort. this is why I want to become a ultra runner.
Terrific achievement & inspiring story. True grit
Amazing! Some people just make it look so easy.. I can just about run a marathon, and will hopefully move on to beginner ultras, but I won't look as fresh as her. Wish I lived closer to the lakes,, love visiting, and have my first official "fell" run at the festival this year.. Can't wait!

Her feet though, i cry over one blister.....
Amazing! Very inspirational.
Wonderful story and achievement. I pumped my fist as she touched the door. Yes!
This was beautiful, thank you.
Great achievement, Nicky is a truly inspiring personality. @Inov8 the movie is great but could benefit greatly from captioning. We foreigners also want to experience every drop of the adventure.
Excellent Nicky and road xing/pacers well done
Hope to be Running Forever... and off this tarmac!
Amazing
respect! great heart!
Fantastic
What a lovely inspirational woman. Wish I had a friend like her.
Just amazing.
Just wow
what a Legend!!!
One inspitationali history!!!
Well!good documentary very interr.nature and great...
I've got to have a go at this!
Rock the silver 💇. You look great!
Very good 👌🏻
Nicky is such an inspirational lady, I really wish I could run. I’ve tried it a few times and get shin splints literally within 10mins ☹️
I would get shin splints as well but I paid a little extra for some decent shoes and focused on my running technique and it’s been okay so far
The only reason God hasn't flooded the earth again is because fine people like Nicky Spinks walk among us.
Good luck at Frozen Head!!
Imagine how much faster those guys in the beginning would go if they didn't have to follow the old lady.
This is so awesome! How old is she?
+Jenna I think she said she was 37 when she got the cancer checkup...so maybe 38 when she does the run? Though she looks a lot older to me...
@@tuesdaysrunner4038 48 when she did it. 51 when she debuts at the Barkley s this year
Opening song please I beg you.
amazing. A Double Bob Graham sounds like the sequel to Rita Sue and Bob Too
El documental es muy bueno, y la proeza de la señora es increíble. Pero es que no la dejan sola ni un momento, la llevan entre algodones. Eso no me ha gustado.
Well there could be a triple
Incredible achievement by Nicky and a great story.
Only slight criticism of the film was the music being too loud and obscuring a lot of the talking.
Yes why do so many ultra marathon films do this? Do they all use the same sound person???
Now they can try to do the Baldy Marathon 100 miler which nobody has finished yet. The Southern California Barkley...
After that she might have to change her name to "Nicky Spanks"...
11.00 should be fired instantly for putting milk in first.
Sheismailxxx
Something wrong with folk like this
All the countless hours of training...in pubs.
I'd like to see some of the so called American ultra runners try this!

+Rebecca They can do it. And beat her time no doubt...let's see the Brits finish Barkley...or be the first to do the Baldy Marathon 100...
Tuesdays Runner FYI, Mark Williams was a Brit (but I do agree with the basic argument that there are many US ultras as tough or tougher than ‘the round’).
If its not that hard why don't you go do it M and let us watch?
no woman and only 13 men, whats your point?

So........this old lady supposedly did what elite runners have not?
Drew H yes- show some fucking respect!
She is an elite runner, she holds the absolute records for all three British double rounds and is the only person to finish all three double rounds, she also held the records for all 3 single rounds simultaneously until 2016.
