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?©2005 Dean Karnazes (P)2023 Recorded Books, Inc Extreme Sports Running & Jogging Sports Inspiring

I've had the hard copy of this book for many years and have read it several times. It's just as enjoyable and inspiring as an audiobook - whether you run or not. I have picked this up again as essential motivation now I've hit 60 and have started running again via the couch to 5k.

One I come back to time and time again

It is hard to believe some of the things Dean mentions in this book but I believe every word. From the insane distances to eating food while running and even sleep running. Truly inspiring.

Amazing
