Runners will be inspired and fascinated reading about Mark Covert
who has run every day for 45 straight years, how Pam Reed won the
Badwater Ultramarathon, and Dean Karnazes ran 50 marathons in fifty
states over 50 days, how Larry Macon set four world records for the
most marathons in a calendar year, and Amy Winters-Palmiero ran and
finished Badwater with a prosthetic leg. These are just some of the
incredible and inspiring achievements of the endurance athletes
profiled in "Running to Extremes: The Legendary Athletes of
Ultrarunning. Each one of these athletes has pushed the limits of
human endurance to become an inspiration for people around the
world. Their achievements are profiled in individual chapters, each
introduced by prominent ultrarunners and friends. In addition to
the most prolific endurance athletes in the world today, one
section is dedicated to the Father of American Ultrarunning, Ted
Corbitt. Including a foreword by his son, Gary Corbitt, and a
special section on his life and achievements, Running to Extremes
serves to preserve his legacy. Whether you are an ultrarunner
yourself or a casual runner, a fan, a historian, or a scholar,
Running to Extremes and the incredible people and their stories in
it will inspire you and ignite your passion for living life to the
fullest. Above all, this Whos Who of ultrarunning proves one thing:
The impossible is possible!
