    Relentless Forward Progress: A Guide to Running Ultramarathons

    About this audiobook

    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."

    • 4/5
      Not as science based as expected, but a fine book for beginners
    • 2/5
      Boring and definitely doesn’t enthuse or engage the reader in applying the content.
    • 2/5
      I couldn’t go past 3 chapters after morbid listening about authors pain of every kind
    • 5/5
      Excellent. This book is detailed without being too over the top.
      I have not done an ultra yet, but my mate has and now I'm excited to make my first one this year. Thanks for all the great content.
    • 5/5
      As an aspiring ultrarunner, I found this guide to be a good introduction to what I might expect in this adventure. While it does read as a series of guides and has less discussion of why people do this than I'd like, as a practical introduction, I found it to be reassuring and also realistically eye-opening.
