Book Reviews of Running Through the Wall: Personal Encounters with the Ultramarathon

Book Review: Running An Ultra Trail Race While On The Couch
Summary: 4 Stars

If you read to learn, then jump the wall to get
"Running Through The Wall."
With a host of authors all writing of personal encounters with trails, the book continues to inform and teach long after you've squeezed the cost out of it.
Ultra Runners keep pushing the envelope on methods, tricks-of-the-trade improvements, that increase the odds of one finishing or even medaling an ultradistance race. And here, in neat readable book form, are those tips, tricks, and tales -- no secrets are held back.
I keep this book handy as it is impossible not to get lost in the stories, forty or so, that have you right along side the ultra runner combating the devils on the trail . . . all of those devils working to make failure the victor over achievement. You learn how these ultrathoners overcome challenges to win; perhaps not the race, but the life experience.
Phillip Gary Smith, author, ULTRA SUPERIOR

Summary of Running Through the Wall: Personal Encounters with the Ultramarathon

Running to the limits of human -endurance.

For those who are not content to run merely 26.2 miles, there is ultramarathoning. Some of the biggest ultras are 50 or 100 miles long, races in which people run all day, through the night and on into the next day. What makes them tick? What thoughts go through their minds at mile 93? How is the pain different from that of a marathon? How can you train for such a colossal undertaking? All these questions are answered in 35 interviews with ultramarathoners. Ultramarathoning is the logical next step for those who burn with a desire to achieve and explore their limits. Every kind of ultra runner is included here, and this book will be an indispensable volume for anyone dreaming of running long.
