So, I picked up a copy of his book Ultramarathon Man..... I've only read a bit of it but it's fantastic, totaly unbelievable what the human body can do.

Serious mileage!

Steff,

as the frog said 'read it'

*groan*

Steff , this is a great book it certainly proves you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it! Love the fact that he runs for so long he has a pizza delivery come to him during the run!!Enjoy.. cheers
Steffan

Thats the bit I've just read!
How the hell can you eat pizza while running?
I get in a mess just sitting still!
I think my curiosity into the world of ultra running is getting stronger, I started doing longer Sunday runs about a month ago for FLM 08 and my average distance for midweek runs is now 10 miles! Thanks to my car not working!
A way to go yet but the mileage is creeping up!!!!

Steff,

Have you got to the bit where hes in the 200 mile race yet?

Pammie

have you got to the drive in bit yet totally hilarious

It is a dangerous book to read. Be careful.

Never read a book on running or Ultrarunning !

Never intend to either !

Can't beat the real thing !
Steffan

Ernie, you could start and finish this book on one of your runs!
mikemoreton

Easy!, then do War and Peace on a training run
Ernie

Read War and Peace in a day once.

Started to realise that I was reading my life away so gave up reading to follow other pursuits.
Steffan

Well I finished that one, brilliant book.
Now I'm going to pass it on to Graham!
I'm inspired!

cheers
