Relentless Forward Progress by Bryon Powell

Relentless Forward Progress by Bryon Powell

Marathons have become too easy for some runners. What was once the pinnacle of achievement in a runner's life is now a stepping stone for extraordinary adventure in ultramarathoning. The number of ultrarunners-those running distances of 50k (31 miles), 50 miles, 100k (62 miles), or 100 miles-is growing astronomically each year. Dean Karnazes's Ultramarathon Man and Chris McDougall's Born to Run have inspired tens of thousands to try these seemingly superhuman distances. But to date, there has been no practical guide to ultramarathoning. Now, Bryon Powell has written Relentless Forward Progress, the first how-to manual for aspiring ultrarunners. Powell covers every aspect of training for and racing ultra distances. This encyclopedic volume prepares runners for going farther than they have ever gone before and, in the process, shows them that they are capable of the impossible.

Bryon Powell is a former attorney in Washington, D.C., who quit his work to pursue ultramarathons full-time. He competes in ultramarathons across the country and publishes the prominent trail running and ultrarunning website iRunFar.com. Outside, Running Times, Trail Runner, Competitor, and UltraRunning have all featured his work. Bryon is a contributing editor for Trail Runner and a member of the American Trail Running Association's advisory board. He has twice finished in the top ten in the Leadville 100 (2006 and 2009), twice won the under-30 age category at the Western States 100 (2005 and 2006), and was a member of the first American team to finish in the top three at the Marathon des Sables in Morocco (2009).
