Best advice

Revisado: 11-02-19

As a running technique teacher I'm constantly dealing with runners who are injured or are sacrificing their health for their running. This book is the antidote. I'm going to recommend it to all my clients. Also, I love that the author reads it!

Amazingly comprehensive advice

Revisado: 05-24-19

Joanna Zeiger has one heck of a story, a truly amazing career, and a passion for research. She combined all of these in this book, which is the most comprehensive guide to mental toughness for endurance athletes I've ever come across, plus so much more. It's really a how-to manual for endurance athletes, covering all the stuff outside your actual training and nutrition--in short, all the stuff nobody tells you. A really valuable book that will help you avoid years of mistakes.

Also, I always appreciate it when an author reads her own book. What's lost in polished presentation is made up for in really feeling like you're getting inside the author's head and understanding how she sees the world. So that's definitely a plus as far as I'm concerned.

Finn at his finest

Revisado: 05-24-19

Adharanand Finn's gift is to enter into a running community and help readers really understand it from the inside via his own adventures (or, more frequently, misadventures). His first two books were great and he's in excellent form here. It's the first thing I've read that helps me really feel like I understand what ultrarunning is about, aside from having lots of time in nature.

The reader kept a lively pace and--kudos!--was great about pronouncing names etc. mostly correctly. That's surprisingly rare. But he doesn't make any effort to shift his accent, so everyone in the book sounds like a slightly overcaffeinated Brit, even the Californians.

It's a small complaint, though, and shouldn't dissuade anyone from getting the book. It's marvelously entertaining.

Don't Miss This One.

Possibly the best in the series. Mrs. Hudson's story is spectacularly compelling. What a great character.

Phenomenal

Any additional comments?

I've been listening to audiobooks for a looong time and this is one of the best I've heard. Fantastic writing and performance, fascinating characters and time. I found it totally engrossing and unexpected, I read a lot of historical fiction but somehow this one broke the mold.

Head and shoulders above the rest

Revisado: 06-03-15

Pullman is so brilliant and the narrator gives a great performance. I did feel it was a story for younger people than my 45 years so I probably won't read the rest in the series but will remember them for when my son is old enough.

A world-changing adventure story

Revisado: 04-22-15

An excellent sequel to Born to Run though the "natural movement" portion of this book wasn't as fully developed as the "natural running" side of McDougall's first book. As for the narrator, he reads it like he's telling a good story... but in an English accent?! It's an odd choice of reader, and his halfhearted attempts at the accents and languages of the various voices in the book were a shame. Despite this, I really enjoyed the book.
