I actually just bought that book recently, but haven't had a chance to read it yet.... I bought "Eat & Run" by Scott Jurek and "Findind Ultra" by Richard Roll at the same time (Damn You Amazon! and your "one click" ordering... lol...) so I'm just finishing up "Eat & Run" which I really liked... So I'll definitely read "Born to Run" next...
It's funny I been feeling kind of "blah" about my running lately, so I thought few books like those would be just what I need to get me motivated again...especially since I need to start my training soon for my next marathon...
I've actually run an Ultra... well, a "baby" ultra anyways... I did a 50K (31mi) race a few years ago... And even though it was pretty tough... It actually was pretty amazing... and it was actually a bit easier than some of the marathons I've run... And I'm hoping to eventually do a "real" ultra someday... so a 50 miler... But to be honest... I don't know how anybody runs a 100 miles or more in a day... That is definitely beyond my imagination at this point... But hey, who knows...? Maybe someday...
