The rise of the ultra runners

Just finished the Night shift ultra - No wait - I haven’t finished it, I DNF’d but that’s another story.

I like Adharanand Finn , he writes some good books on running. This one was comforting for me after my failure to complete my first backyard ultra.

Anyone who wants to try and get a glimpse of why anyone would run an ultra should read this. You might be surprised to find out that it’s a mixed bag and the author is honest in his experience of the sport.
