"Great book that is a onestop shop of resource well worth the buy"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

Great great book! Too few books are available for Ultrarunners which help and this one covers training, insights to the sports, tips and facts and also stories or tips from professionals of the sport. To find info under one place vs. Searching through numerous websites is both time and cost effective. The only sad fact is that I enjoyed it that much it took bugger all to read through it! A couple of more training plans would help but hey, you gotta just get out there and do it if you are into this sport. So enough reviewing as I am off for a run now – go buy it!

"Awesome book for the mad!!!" Purchased on Mighty Ape

Excellent book for the crazies who just can't stop!!!

Description

Marathons have become too easy for some runners. What was once the pinnacle of achievement in a runner's life is now a stepping stone for extraordinary adventure in ultramarathoning. The number of ultrarunners--those running distances of 50k (31miles), 50 miles, 100k (62 miles), or 100 miles--is growing astronomically each year. Dean Karnazes' Ultramarathon Man and Chris McDougall's Born to Run have inspired tens of thousands to try these seemingly superhuman distances. But to date, there has been no practical guide to ultramarathoning. Now, Bryon Powell has written Relentless Forward Progress, the first how-to manual for aspiring ultrarunners. Powell covers every aspect of training for and racing ultra distances. This encyclopedic volume prepares runners for going farther than they have ever gone before and, in the process, shows them that they are capable of the "impossible."

Author Biography:

Bryon Powell is a former Washington, DC, attorney who left his job to devote himself to running ultramarathons full time. He publishes the popular trail running and ultrarunning website iRunFar.com, and competes in ultras nationwide. His articles have also been published in Outside, Running Times, Trail Runner, Competitor, and UltraRunning. Bryon is a contributing editor at Trail Runner and is an advisory board member of the American Trail Running Association. He lives in Park City, Utah. As a runner, he has twice placed in the top ten at the Leadville 100 ('06 & '09), twice won the under-30 age group at the Western States 100 ('05 & '06), and was part of the first American team to place in the top three at Morocco's Marathon des Sables ('09).
