Revised, updated and with a new afterword. The Ultramarathon man is
back with new additions to his bestselling memoir
Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner helped introduce
the world to ultramarathoning. Now, after three decades of running
ultramarathons across the globe, Karnazes is still going strong. This
updated and revised edition includes an afterword full of the lessons
he's picked up along the way. He gives personal details on the essential
pillars of health--fitness, diet and sleep. What does he eat, what
supplements does he take, and what kind of mattress does he sleep on?
Aging well takes work and the man who hasn't stopped is sharing the tips
and learnings that have kept him going, mile after grueling mile.
Ultramarathon Man is Karnazes' story: the mind-boggling adventures of
his nonstop treks through the shoe-melting inferno of Death Valley, the
lung-freezing ferocity of the South Pole, and the awe-inspiring beauty
of the towering peaks and craggy canyons of the Sierra Nevada.
With an insight and candor rarely seen in sports memoirs, he reveals how
he navigates the solitary, manic, self-absorbed life of hard-core
ultrarunning with a full-time job, a wife, and two children, and how
running has made him who he is today: a man with an ironclad body, a
teenager's energy, and a champion's wisdom.
