An ultra coach called Ronnie Staton crewed a youngish competitor called Ryan earlier this year to a successful 'Spine' finish.

I think the videos 1st appeared on Facebook.

Saw a sh1t storm developing on fb last night over a Summer Spine Race. Posts seem to have been removed overnight.

Imagine the summer walkers might slow runners a bit in touristy places?

Yes, I saw that, though it hadn't developed into much when I looked. The consensus seemed to be, "If you wanted to hike the Pennine Way in summer, wouldn't you just, like, go and do it?"

yes rhb - also a storm about keeping stuff mentioned at a training weekend secret.

Swittle - yes, he coached Ryan Wood. To date Ryan's blog is the best blog i have ever read. Truly inspiring and although initially it looks long, it is worth every written word...

I'll look out for Ryan's blog, Chris.

Ronnie's accounts of Ryan's progress were required reading daily before I opted out of Facebook.

Yes, Ronnie posted them to youtube - worth watching them in order around the time you read the blog as they tie in together nicely.

Summer Spine is spineless, not Spine lite ;-)
