	Fell running - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fell running, also known as mountain running and hill running, is the sport of running and racing, off road, over upland country where the gradient climbed is a significant component of the difficulty.
		Fell races are organized on the premise that contenders possess mountain navigational skills and carry adequate survival equipment as prescribed by the organizer.
		Hill running was evidently being practiced in a precursor to the Braemar Gathering in 1064, the latest date given for a competition organized by King Malcolm Canmore.

		For fell running you need shoes that grip well (heavily studded soles are best); that have a low midsole and heel (for "feeling the ground" and avoiding turning your ankle on very rough terrain), and that have a tough construction (stony paths shred lesser shoes; peaty mud dissolves them).
		This shoe is taking the fell running scene by storm: it's worn by top fell runners, it's tough and has a great gripping sole, but it's also got technology and design that improves comfort and support.
		In a long fell race in April this year the runners had to guard against heat exhaustion and dehydration: 2 years ago at the same time it was hypothermia.

	Fell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Fell (from the Old Norse fjall, 'mountain') is a word used to refer to mountains, or certain types of mountainous landscape, in parts of England and Scandinavia.
		In other cases the reverse is true: for instance, the name of Wetherlam, in the Coniston Fells, though understood to refer to the mountain as a whole, strictly speaking refers to the summit; the slopes have names such as Tilberthwaite High Fell, Low Fell and Above Beck Fells.
		In Scandinavia, a fell (fjell in Norwegian, fjäll in Swedish, tunturi in Finnish) is a treeless mountain landscape that has been shaped by glacier ice earlier in history.
