great field guide for the basics

Loved it. It is what the title says, a good field guide for information of all the basics needed for ultra running. Narrator was great.

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

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.

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.
