pickAs someone who is just getting into ultrarunning, I felt like this book was very comprehensive and a great educational tool to equip me for my first season of competition. It answered many questions I didn't know I had and was a terrific resource for me. I feel much better informed and prepared to race (at least...mentally) after reading this book. And apparently the second edition is 100+ pages longer. #ultrarunning #marathon
Another book I‘m starting tonight! I get to have a live chat with the author next month!
panYeesh. Really wanted to like this one 😕
pickThis book tells how the author covered 2,189 miles in 46 days, 8 hours, and 7 minutes. He hiked the entire Appalachian Trail from the southern bottom to the northern top. It was a great story about personal drive and endurance. It was also a great story about friendships and teams of people working together. I hate running but I would love to be a part of such a quirky and beautiful group of people.
pickI don‘t understand what motivates people to do these ultra marathons. It all seems to be very painful and I can‘t help but think about what injuries you might get stuck with. But it‘s sure interesting to read about!
This has been waiting for me to read and now seems like the right time. #reading #mirnavalerio #running #ultrarunning #mindfulness #meditation #focus
