Aside from her rock star looks, Catra Corbett is a standout in the running world on her accomplishments alone. Catra is the first American woman to run over 100 miles or more on more than 100 occasions and the first to run 100 and 200 miles in the Ohlone Wilderness, and she holds the fastest known double time for the 425-miles long John Muir Trail, completing it in 12 days, four hours, and 57 minutes.

And, unbelievably, she's also a former meth addict.

After two years of addiction, Catra is busted while selling, and a night in jail is enough to set her straight. She gives up drugs and moves back home with her mother, abandoning her friends, her boyfriend, and the lifestyle that she came to depend on. Her only clean friend pushes her to train for a 10K with him, and surprisingly, she likes it and decides to run her first marathon after that.

In Reborn on the Run, the listener keeps pace with Catra as she runs through difficult terrain and extreme weather, is stalked by animals in the wilderness, and nearly dies on a training run but continues on, smashing running records and becoming one of the world's best ultrarunners.

Worth a listen on audio, but not the best running memoir. Having battled and overcome addictions myself, I thought that it would be inspiring and motivational, but I found her selfish attitude was jarring at times. I usually love running memoirs, especially when they're a balanced mix between the trails and the runner's life experiences and inner world, but this didn't feel balanced at all. Far too much me-me-me and not enough trail. It seemed more like ego inflation and self promotion. I'm glad I listened to it, but I'm also glad it was an Audible freebie.

Okay

It was interesting to listen at first but gets a bit monotonous over time. She is really obsessed with her parents and later very obsessed with herself.

Not bad
