In a world where marathons have become commonplace, a new challenge arises. Pain transforms into a coveted companion rather than an adversary. Hallucinations become a regular occurrence. Ultra running, a sport that contradicts conventional logic, has rapidly gained global traction. But why? Is it an antidote to the rush of modern life, or a reflection of a modern ailment?
Adharanand Finn embarks on a journey to the very core of this sport to seek answers – and in the process, test his potential as an ultra runner. His expedition spans the arid deserts of Oman, the snow-capped Rocky mountains, culminating in his ultimate goal, the intense 105-mile Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc.
‘The Rise of the Ultra Runners’ provides an electrifying, motivational narrative of his journey. Through engaging interactions with the sport’s vibrant personalities and his personal experiences of its exhilarating highs and crushing lows, Finn provides an unforgettable glimpse into the depths of human resilience and endurance.
