Summary
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 (31 miles), 50 miles, 100k (62 miles), or 100 miles - is growing astronomically each year.
Dean Karnazes's 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."
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Some great practical advise
If your looking for inspiration....this isn’t the book for you, however if your looking for practice useable information then it could be of use!
I took some great bits of info from the book, and while it was slightly dry I appreciated that it’s a different type of book and not one made for inspiration or motivation, much more of a how to guide than any of that.

The most amazing Ultra training book
I have listened to this audiobook over and over again and each time something else peaks my interest and I learn something new about Ultra running and myself .
The audio is clear and crisp allowing you to focus on the content rather being irritated by the quality of the present . The PDF content is very useful and should be reviewed throughout the listen .
By far one of the best Ultra Training book I’ve ever listened too.

A interesting book about a sport I’m not too familiar.
It was interesting. It covered a broad range of topics from nutrition, health, mental approach and it weaves them all together for a comprehensive guide book.
