Description
Ultrarunning legend Dean Karnazes has run 262 miles - the equivalent of ten marathons - without rest. He has run over mountains, across Death Valley, to the South Pole, and is probably the first person to eat an entire pizza while running. With an insight, candour and humour rarely seen in sports memoirs, Ultramarathon Man has inspired tens of thousands of people - nonrunners and runners alike - to push themselves beyond their comfort zones and simply get out there and run. Ultramarathon Man answers the questions Karnazes is continually asked: - Why do you do it? - How do you do it? - Are you insane? and the follow-up queries: - What, exactly, do you eat? - How do you train to stay in such good shape?

Smashing Good!
This book was a fantastic read. The book is very inspiring in breaking the shackles that one might have on one's own limits.
While running a 10K or a marathon might be a crowning achievement in terms of endurance, the secret and small league of Ultra Marathoners treat it as a warm up. In one of the races, Karno runs for a 100 miles and then competes in a marathon back to back and finishes the marathon in 3:15 hrs! Incredible!
Body's limits are usually those of the mind, and by overcoming ...

The Best Book I ever read
I recently read a lots of books on running (around 10) and this book I found THE BEST. Beauty of this book is its very well written and its very straight and less of philosophical stuff.
It talks how withOUT running author's life got stale and then how by resuming running the excitement, the joy, the challenges made it worth living again.
It talks about what was going through his mind when he was tired and exhausted and how it became more of a mental and emotional battle after a while. A v...

Life changer
Most of us wish to do a lot of things in life, start planning and executing and then after some time tend to loose the momentum. Dave is also like us. But something else changes his life. After starting to run, Dave comes to know of an Endurance run and becomes obsessive to do it. In the path to accomplish that, he also wishes to let go of his passion. But, he pushes himself hard and then his life changed.
