Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting out, this powerful book is designed to inspire and motivate you to train both body and mind for one of the most challenging physical endeavors—an ultramarathon. Exceeding the traditional marathon length of 26.2 miles, ultra-races are often perceived as a realm reserved for the elite, not for “normal people” juggling jobs, families, and countless other responsibilities. This was the belief held by Sid Garza-Hillman as he approached the starting line of his first 50K ultramarathon.
However, as he delved deeper into the sport, Sid discovered that ultrarunning transcends age, occupation, and lifestyle. Moms, dads, grandparents, young adults, seniors, full-time employees, and more, all successfully conquer ultra-races worldwide each year.
In this impactful book, Sid, a ten-time ultramarathoner and Race Director of the Mendocino Coast 50K, distills the invaluable lessons he’s gleaned from the trails to teach you how to:
– Navigate the fear and mental barriers that hold you back from achieving your goals, both on and off the trail
– Practice mindfulness and presence in a world brimming with constant distractions
– Test your resilience, proving you’re stronger than you ever imagined
– Commit to a balanced, realistic, and adaptable training plan
This isn’t your average ultramarathon training guide filled with rigid schedules and prescribed workouts. Instead, it’s a powerful narrative outlining the valuable struggles, benefits, and life-changing lessons that lie in wait for anyone bold enough to plunge into the world of ultrarunning.
