Description
Although Dean Karnazes' Ultramarathon Man and Neal Jamison's Running Through the Wall
provide runners with engrossing narrative accounts of the experience of
running beyond 26.2 miles, no practical guide has existed to help
runners who want to move up to this incredible challenge.
Runners
will find that the training they did for 10Ks or marathons does not
directly translate to running ultramarathons. It's a completely new
world. Relentless Forward Progress gives concise, step-by-step
advice on all aspects of running ultras. The reader will learn
ultramarathon training principles applicable from 50K to one hundred
miles or more, hydration and nutrition strategies, how to choose the
right gear, how to make the most of race day, and more. It covers all
aspects of physical and mental preparation.
Running feats that
seem superhuman--like finishing the mountainous Western States Endurance
Run one hundred mile trail race--will become accessible to any healthy
person who reads this book.
