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!

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!!!!

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. |
