Amazing book! Insightful, interesting, full of information and easy to read and get engrossed in. Reading about the author's own journey into running that was woven throughout the narrative of Caballo, the Tarahumarians, and the ultra-marathoners was encouraging to beginning runners such as myself. There were several references to running that I wouldn't have fully appreciated a year or so ago, before I started running, which completely echo why I run and how I approach running. It was awesome to read about others who are slightly more insane than I am, running way further than I do, but who share my motivation, escapism, and who, I am confident would understand me if our paths were ever to cross. And I have to include that I completely appreciated the somewhat random, but strongly informative tangents including the history of ultra-marathons, barefoot running, and evolutionary development as it pertains to running. I feel more well-rounded and complete in my new-found knowledge of this new (to me) world of ultra-marathon running.
Definitely worth the read!!
