How To Run Your First Ultra-Marathon

How To Run Your First Ultra-Marathon is based on one man's experience of training for a 50 mile mountain race in the Rocky Mountains, despite being much more used to hiking rather than running. Read a full personal account of a first-time ultra marathoner's race, and learn how he changed from a 10K runner to an endurance athlete in just six-months - perhaps the ultimate fitness challenge. In his first non-photography book, Craig Palmer discusses the training and preparation required as well as mistakes to avoid. He also gives a vivid account of his first experience with ultra-running at a mountain race with a high point of 13,300 feet! Whether you want to run an ultra-marathon or just want to know what it takes and how it feels, How To Run Your First Ultra-Marathon is an easy-to-read look at the world of ultra-running.
