Studmarks is a fell running podcast rooted in the history, culture, and community of the sport.
Each episode features thoughtful conversations with runners, race organisers, volunteers, and local characters, uncovering the stories behind classic races, unwritten rules, and the values that define fell running: self-reliance, respect for the mountains, and a strong sense of community. Alongside personal journeys, Studmarks reflects on how the sport has evolved while holding on to its distinctive character.
Studmarks is about shared experience as much as individual effort—muddy shoes, borrowed safety pins and post-race brews.

In this episode, we chat with Stuart Smith, International Mountain Leader, who shares stories from a life spent in the world’s wildest places. From breathtaking expeditions to unexpected challenges on the fells, Stuart offers a window into the highs, lows, and humour of life in the mountains. We also dive into the gear that’s accompanied him on countless adventures, touching on iconic brands like Walsh, Reebok, and Karrimor, and discussing how equipment shapes the mountain experience.
