This book has a single purpose - to inspire you to run!

Through sharing a detailed account of my first three years of pursuing running from the middle to back of the pack, it will hopefully show you you are capable of much more than you may think. After my dad's major health scare, it was time for me to change everything. Little did I know how much I would learn after taking on some physical exercise.

A radical diet change allowed me to lose a forth of my body weight and it gave me boundless energy to get outside and explore.

It’s not clear to me why I chose running ultra marathons of all forms of exercise, since I was unable to run beyond one mile just a few years prior.

But since that fateful day, I’ve never looked back.

I was finding that sometimes the experiences of training for ultra could be just as rich and fulfilling as the ultra event itself.

like the author states in the beginning; if you're looking for a training guide, this book isn't for you.
Robert puts hid feeling and struggles out there in his book and I couldn't help but cheer him on as he writes about his struggles and desire for ultra.
You can feel the passion this man has for running. I will re-read this again.

Nice but really nothing very exciting or special. I never felt it was focused on running but everyday stuff everybody has to deal with
