Hur kundrecensioner och betyg fungerar
Kundrecensioner, inklusive stjärnrecensioner av produkter, hjälper kunder att lära sig mer om produkten och avgöra om det är rätt produkt för dem.
Vi använder inte ett enkelt medelvärde för att beräkna den totala stjärnrecensionen och den procentuella fördelningen per stjärna. Istället tar vårt system hänsyn till saker som till exempel hur nyligen en recension har gjorts och om recensenten köpte artikeln på Amazon. Det analyserar också recensioner för att verifiera deras trovärdighet.

Tolle Leistung, aber wenig spannend erzählt
Granskad i Tyskland den 27 augusti 2017
Zunächst absoluten Respekt vor der Leistung von Steve Birkinshaw: sowohl physisch, als auch logistisch!
Das Problem des Buches ist, dass es den Leser (zumindest mich) nicht fesselt, wie es beispielsweise Dean Karnazes in seinen Büchern schafft.

Interesting, insightful account of an epic feat
Granskad i Storbritannien den 29 augusti 2023
Steve Birkinshaw gives a wonderful insight into the grueling challenge of running the 219 Wainwrights. You can almost feel his pain as he takes you across the Fells of the Lake District. I liked the short chapters and the introduction into Steve's character in the opening chapters. I found myself visualizing the route as I become acquainted with the Wainwrights myself... A very different account of Fell running than Asquith's Feet in the Clouds, but well worth it none the less.

An astonishing tale of human endurance
Granskad i Storbritannien den 4 juli 2017
This book not only chronicles the amazing achievement of establishing a new record for running over all 214 Wainwrights, but also tells us much about the author himself and the obstacles he had to surmount. He claims to find writing difficult but, even if true, he more than makes up for this by a sincere and honest writing style that reveals much about the make-up of the man. Thus the book tells the reader about his early life (not always easy - teased mercilessly at school for having a 'posh' southern accent), his talent for running (the longer and the rougher the better), his preparation for tackling the Wainwrights, the run itself, and the aftermath (recovery was clearly far from straightforward).
Throughout he is careful to acknowledge those who have gone before him, and especially pays fulsome tribute to Joss Naylor, the legendary fellrunner whose record he broke. Steve was able to reduce Naylor's climbing and distance on his own route by around 4% through careful planning and a mixture of art and science.
I would have liked Steve to have used British or imperial measures of height and distance rather more (alongside metric of course) mainly because Wainwright himself felt very strongly on the issue . For him, Mont Blanc may be 4808 metres but Bowfell will always be 2960'. And, after all, if it were not for Wainwright, this challenge would not exist.
But this is very minor. I strongly recommend this book to anyone who loves walking or running in the Lakeland fells or those who will be uplifted by an amazing tale of an incredible achievement which is scarcely believable to those of us who consider a 12 mile walk in the fells over 3 or 4 peaks a hard and full day.

Inspiring!
Granskad i Storbritannien den 18 januari 2020
Enjoyed the book. Background to running history interesting and the schedule for the Wainwrights available in appendices. It's inspiring, insofar as it gives a new perspective on the Wainwrights and the mindset of fell running. I'm not personally inspired to take up fell running as a result, but it puts into place the physical effort I endure when walking up a fell or two.
