    Story
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    If you're a runner, you've probably heard of Scott Jurek by reading Born to Run. While not a sequel to McDougall's book in any way, Jurek's book takes you closer to the real thing by letting you know how it feels from an actual ultra runner's pespective. It is well written, full of interesting stories, technical tips and a very good read (listen) altogheter.


    What did you like best about this story?

    Scott Jurek is an exceptionnal athlete. Yet, he is so honest and down to earth that I could relate with his stories, even tough I only am a "normal" marathonner. The stories make you want to push yourself beyond your limits - if only to find out how far you can go. I know it did help me run farther and better.


    What does Quincy Dunn-Baker bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    The narration is quite good. I'm not sure why Jurek did not decide to read it himself.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    This is a book I listened to while running. I really recommend it! I couldnt stop which help me keep going on longer runs.


    Any additional comments?

    Of course, some of the stuff here you've already heard before. With Born to Run and Dean Karnases' books, a lot has been said about Ultras. Yet, Scott Jurek's take on the subject is as unique as his talent. I really recommend you pick it up.
