Publisher's Summary
Marathons have become too easy for some runners. What was once the pinnacle of achievement in a runner's life is now a stepping stone for extraordinary adventure in ultramarathoning. The number of ultrarunners - those running distances of 50k (31 miles), 50 miles, 100k (62 miles), or 100 miles - is growing astronomically each year.
Dean Karnazes's Ultramarathon Man and Chris McDougall's Born to Run have inspired tens of thousands to try these seemingly superhuman distances. But to date, there has been no practical guide to ultramarathoning. Now, Bryon Powell has written Relentless Forward Progress, the first how-to manual for aspiring ultrarunners.
Powell covers every aspect of training for and racing ultra distances. This encyclopedic volume prepares runners for going farther than they have ever gone before and, in the process, shows them that they are capable of the "impossible."

Helpful book for the runner
A helpful guide to running ultras for the newbie to the sport. I found useful information even though I'm more experienced. I enjoyed the stories at the begging of the book too.

Bonus PDF
Would like to point out that some of the other reviews have said that it would be more useful with the PDF. You can download the PDF through Audible.
The narration was not ideal but I did like the book. Some useful info and some good anecdotes. I give it 3 out of 5 because it was good enough that I got to the end but I did lose interest by then. Felt a little padded out and could have been much more concise and better organised.
