Though I am not a runner, this was a interesting book. It tells a story about this tribal of super-runners. The tribe has the ability to run long distances better than the best athletes in the world. The book weaves this story about this tribal with narrative on how to be a better runner. The book begins by wondering why the author’s foot hurt, and as he searches for this answer he discovers some interesting insights into the nature of running. The book is a page turner as well as a great story. If you are a runner, you will love this book, if you are into hiking, which I am, you will love this book, and if you never ran a day in your life, you will like this book. The author even dealt with the 100 mile race in Leadville Colorado. If you like adventure and sports literature, you will enjoy this book.

Wow, 100 miles a normal marathon is 26.2 miles that would kill. Did it say how long it took them to run it? The longs run I ever did was 8.2 miles and that was hard.
Yes, they did. I forget the number, but it was like 6-8 hours, it was amazing.
