Getting the Miles in the Legs (2018)

Stephen Pearson is a 60-year-old Boltonian whose youthful hobby of running up mountains for 24 hours at a time was cut short by severe arthritis. For almost three years Steve could barely walk, never mind run, until a double hip replacement gave him back the use of his legs. Despite his doctor's warnings, what started as walks in the countryside developed into a chance to rediscover his love of fell running. Getting the Miles in the Legs is a cinematic documentary following Steve on one of his runs through the beautiful Lancastrian countryside as he discusses his passion for this historic sport and how it has allowed him to create a life-long emotional connection with British nature that the modern age sometimes overlooks.
