Despite having been involved in the sport for a couple of years, I found myself learning a wealth of new information that will undoubtedly elevate my performance among fellow runners.

Truly a goldmine of information for new runners!

I would have never thought this audio format would work for this book. I first bought the printed version, but found that the combination of audiobook and physical copy would even be better.

Now I use the physical copy as my reference guide and listen to the audio book (or specific chapters) during my long runs or training sessions.

The audio book includes several guest speakers from the world of exercises science to go over a specific subject within the grand scope of the chapter in a bit of a podcast-style interview. This way the audiobook becomes so much more than a boring read, but turns it into a great format to gain knowledge about ultrarunning.

Great listen while training/running...
