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.

Good for the Basics

Nothing new here, but it is a good review of some basics. The diet section I think is a bit outdated, but again, it is all very high level. I don't think the PDF training plans accompany this though, which is the main reason I purchased the book. No real excuse for not including those anymore. Wouldn't recommend for anyone who has already run an ultra.
