Description
In this immersive blend of reportage and memoir, a curious runner ventures into the rapidly expanding world of ultramarathons—races that stretch far beyond the traditional marathon distance. Traveling to meet elite competitors, passionate amateurs, and the communities that surround the sport, he explores what drives people to test themselves across mountains, deserts, and seemingly impossible distances. Along the way, he trains for one of the world’s most demanding ultra races, confronting the physical limits, mental resilience, and personal motivations behind extreme endurance. Insightful, candid, and vividly reported, the book offers both an inside look at ultra running and a compelling meditation on ambition, perseverance, and the search for meaning through challenge.
