Ultrarunning for Normal People: Lessons Learned on and Off the Trail - Sid Garza-hillman

Descriere Ultrarunning for Normal People: Lessons Learned on and Off the Trail - Sid Garza-hillman

Whether you're an experienced runner or a complete beginner, this inspiring book will motivate you to train your body and mind to complete one of the hardest physical feats of all--an ultramarathon \nWhen Sid Garza-Hillman stood at the starting line of his first 50-mile-long trail ultramarathon, one thought was at the front of his mind: this was the last place he wanted to be. \n \nAfter all, trail ultrarunning is a very different animal than marathons--in which Sid had barely taken part himself. The trails demand attention, and the long distances demand a shift in perception and mindset. Even in crowded races, runners often find themselves alone and with only their own thoughts. With trail running, a person can be stripped of almost everything--laid bare, vulnerable, and on the verge of quitting. Ultrarunning, at least to Sid, seemed to be a sport for Type-A people who love pain and suffering. \n \nBut as he became more involved with the sport, he realized that ultrarunning wasn't just for elite athletes. Moms, dads, grandmas, grandpas, young people, old people, people with full-time jobs, and more successfully cross the finish lines of races around the world. \n \nReflecting on his journey from dispassionately running a few miles here and there to running multiple ultramarathons, Sid divulges tips and tricks for how so-called Normal People can become successful ultrarunners. \n \nPart humorous memoir, part guide for those interested in attempting an ultramarathon for the first time, Ultrarunning for Normal People lays out the struggles, benefits, and life lessons that await anyone who's ready to dive into the world of ultrarunning.\n
