First book of 2018 and what better than reading about Ultra Marathon legend Scott Jurek.
Strength does not done from physical capacity but comes from an indomitable will ~ Gandhi
Doesn't matter if you are a 5k runner or a want to be Ultra Marathoner this book is a must read. Scot talks about his unlikely journey from being a weekend skiing enthusiast to Ultra Marathon legend. He has included lots of tips on running form and the various plant based diets that he experimented with to help him perform and recover better after each run.
Long distance running is an extremely lonely sport and what drives professionals and amateur athletes to run such long distances ranging from 50 Kms to, 250 kms is something one should experience.
The book has lot of details of some of Scot's most famous races including the deadly Badwater ultra, the run with the Tarahumara Indians in the Copper Canyons, the Western States 100 Mile race, The Hardrock Ultra, UTMB France and the Spartathlon in Greece.
A must read book from one of the sages of long distance running.
