Story5 out of 5 stars 614
Deena Kastor was a star youth runner with tremendous promise, yet her career almost ended after college, when her competitive method - run as hard as possible, for fear of losing - fostered a frustration and negativity and brought her to the brink of burnout. On the verge of quitting, she took a chance and moved to the high altitudes of Alamosa, Colorado, where legendary coach Joe Vigil had started the first professional distance-running team. There she encountered the idea that would transform her running career: the notion that changing her thinking - shaping her mind to be more encouraging, kind, and resilient - could make her faster than she’d ever imagined possible.

Long distance running is much like any other fitness training. If you want to improve, you need a good plan that has a progressive nature. If you are new to this game, you need a solid foundation to build on. Having a running program is not the only thing that you need. Sound advice and running tips should be taken from someone who has "walked the walk", or in this case, "ran the run".

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. 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.

You don't have one brain - you have three; your ancient Chimp brain that keeps you alive, your modern Professor brain that navigates the civilized world, and your Computer brain that accesses your memories and runs your habits (good and bad). They fight for control all the time and that's when bad things happen. What if you could stop the thoughts and feelings you don't want? You can.

Outstanding listen for all runners from the perspective of one of our greats!
Excellent advice and guidance from Bart Yasso, one of modern running’s true pioneers!
Myself a runner of over 27 years, I thought I’d heard or learned most of this. (Based on the table of contents.)
However, the material was very well organized and fresh! Narrator does a great job as well! Actually reminded me of Bart’s delivery/nature.
Does include PDF w training plans that are referenced.
Enjoy!

Great stories and advice from the one & only Bart!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
If you're looking to take your running to the next level, this book is full of great advice. I love that Bart advocates for running as a life style and not merely as something to check off on a bucket list.
Any additional comments?
Bart has offered so much to the running community over the last 30+ years. Wherever his trails lead him in the future, I'm certain he'll find joy in the journey.
