Joss Naylor is a sheep farmer from the Lake District. Among most people, his name means little, but in certain circles, he is known as one of the finest mountain runners who have ever lived.
Joss lives and breathes mountains. He has lived and farmed all his life in an area of the Lake District which has many mountains, including the tallest mountain in England. Joss has an almost superhuman ability to run at speed over mountains. However, he wasn't always a mountain runner. As a young man, he was advised to give up running because of serious back problems. But, when he was 24, he was tired of being told to take it easy.
Nothing can stop a good man from being better! He continued working and took up running. When he ran his first mountain race, he discovered that he fell in love with it. All his time spent herding sheep on the mountains had prepared him for this.
His achievements are nothing short of famous. For example, he smashed (打破纪录) his own record and set a new one. At the age of 49, he ran up 214 mountains. "It is a wonderful experience though the practice is very hard," he said. Many of his runs have raised money for charity, and he is popular in the community.
He keeps writing and sharing his experiences about his climb. "I want people back home — especially family and friends who support me — to get a real feel for what it's like," he said.
