Too Old to Ultra: When a marathon is just not enough Kindle Edition

As a 60 year-old just beginning my journey into ultrarunning, Steve's book was very timely and most valuable to me. It dispels myths that we oldies are too old and gives inspiration and encouragement by the bucketful along with some very valuable training advice... For us older wannabe ultrarunners this book is an absolute must. And not only is it technically very valuable it is also a good entertaining read.

As somebody who has just signed up for my first ultra aged 56 I was wondering if I had made a mistake but this book gives plenty of examples to show you don’t have to give up past 50. It is light hearted and an easy read with only the odd miss placed word to trip up the flow.

It would never occur to me to even attempt to run that far. Particularly at my age. This book has certainly made me think. Easy to read and informative.

Enjoyable and informative read. As someone who has run up to 10km I found the different mindset for ultra running intriguing.

engaging - good read
