Hi,
thought this Forum could do with a book recommendations thread - so here we go
1) Born to Run by C. McDougall
I'm pretty sure everyone here will know it but thought I'd include it nevertheless
2) The Runners Body by R.Tucker & J. Dugas
A great read about the science behind running (includes things like metabolism, bones, cardio-respiratory system, Immune system, Injuries,...). A definite recommendation for anybody that is interested in those kind of things!
3) Ultramarathon Man by D. Karnazes
Brilliantly written, lots of interesting & funny stories by Karnazes. It's basically an autobiography, just not as dry
4) Relentless Progress Forward: A guide to running ultramarathons by E. Grossman & B. Powell
Nice intro to ultramarathon running that covers pretty much everything a beginner to ultras might want to know.
5) Running on Empty by M. Ullrich
Good read by another Ultramarathon Runner and his run across the States. Even though I didn't enjoy it as much as Karnazes book, I'd still recommend it!
Btw.: Ullrich had his toenails removed, so he wouldn't have to worry about them when running
That's it from me - any other recommendations?
