Reseñas de la Crítica

"Hal's Field Guide is a comprehensive guide to all things ultra.... A near-limitless body of knowledge that, if you were sharing a trail with him, Hal would gladly share." (UltraRunning)

Super Awesome

Easy to listen to with great advice. The tips and training plan were worth the price, the story is icing on the cake though.

Ultra 360

I like this book because every points have been discussed with me any example from the author to back it all up

Well done

Simple but his passion comes across and makes me want to get out and run.

Great Listen!

I really enjoyed listening to this book. As a guy who is aspiring to running ultras, I found it to be both informative and entertaining.

Just the facts

No nonsense I enjoyed the whole thing. Worth listening to 1.2x speed for a quick listening experience.

Great Listen, Informative

I’ve been listening to books on books in the ultra running genre lately, and I appreciated this book for its straightforward, but humble delivery. There’s is a wide array of information for those curious, interested and or in the thick of the ultra running lifestyle. I would’ve liked more of a backstory on the rise of Hal, but I definitely appreciate the humility and insight on mistakes and wins. The narrator was good and had pleasant delivery style. Totally recommend.

Definitely worth your time and money

This book really makes me want to hang out in Ashland with Hal. Some great information in here.

Spectacular

This book is an absolute wealth of information that is backed up by experience. It is all very informal sounding, but Hal knows what he's talking about.

Informative.

Met expectations but wish it'd been more detailed in terms of hydration and nutrition, those segments were really basic.

Overall good book.

Bought the book too

After listening to this, I ordered the physical book too. Soooo much great info. The audio book is well produced and easy to listen to. I can’t believe how fast I flew through it. I wanted the physical book because there is so much info I want to go back and highlight. I’ll be opening it many times as I train for my first ultra.
