Very thorough but learned so much I implement in my training right away. With so much different believes around it is good to have a book that has combined experience with science

If you have something you want to know about ultrarunning, it’s in this book, somewhere. Helped me plan my training for my first ultra (next week) & covered a lot of topics I didn’t even know I needed to know. The bonus, the author is a really good narrator.

Is there anything that’s not in this book? Nope
