Summary
This book has a single purpose - to inspire you to run!
Through sharing a detailed account of my first three years of pursuing running from the middle to back of the pack, it will hopefully show you you are capable of much more than you may think. After my dad's major health scare, it was time for me to change everything. Little did I know how much I would learn after taking on some physical exercise.
A radical diet change allowed me to lose a forth of my body weight and it gave me boundless energy to get outside and explore.
It’s not clear to me why I chose running ultra marathons of all forms of exercise, since I was unable to run beyond one mile just a few years prior.
But since that fateful day, I’ve never looked back.
I was finding that sometimes the experiences of training for ultra could be just as rich and fulfilling as the ultra event itself.

Audio quality was poor...
...story was great. Enjoyed listening to the trials and successes of an ultra-runner, as I too look to earn my badge.

Fantastic book!
This is a FANTASTIC book! Okay, the narration could be a little better, but that didn’t detract from the story for me - the story is so much bigger than that! Inspirational!

Nice insight into the mind of the ultra enduro
Rob is clearly passionate about his experiences in ultra endurance running and despite podcasting is not a narrator by any stretch of the meaning, however enjoyable performance of an interesting topic.

So inspiring.
As a 47 year old who’s on the foothills of ultra, Rob’s story has perfumed my mind to reach my goals.
Brilliant!
