I picked up a copy of Bryon’s book a few weeks back, with the intention of progressing into ultra distance running. I have been running on and off for 3 years and bought the book not really for the training plans, but looking for motivation and inspiration. The book succeeds wonderfully on all counts. The anecdotal articles from well known ultra runners, combined with Bryon’s excellent writing style makes this a great buy for both the experienced runner and the beginner alike.
There is a great section on barefoot running technique, and also some excellent nutrition advice. The training schedules are really good, and this book can act well as a textbook to dip in and out of when you want. I’ve read it from cover to cover twice, and pick it up every day for tips and advice. Well worth buying!!!
Are you the kind of person who likes never ending trial and error, making as many mistakes as possible, or how about learning the hard way? If so, please avoid this book at all costs. It’s not for you. On the other hand, do you enjoy gleaning the wisdom of others, making a very difficult task manageable, or being as prepared as you can be for an event that is filled with the unexpected? In that case you’ve found what you’re looking for.
I ran my first ultra about 4 years ago. I thought I had done my homework. I thought I was prepared. I thought wrong. My only complaint about "Relentless Forward Progress" is that it was published about 5 years too late. Had I had this information I might have avoided severe cramping, lightheadedness, and a resounding question that seemed to enter my head at the base of every hill… "What am I doing"?
Bryon has left no stone unturned. In a sport that is so complex, writing a "how to" could be about as perplexing as an ultra it’s self. This book could be over-the-top, intimidating, and self-absorbent but it’s none of the above. It’s a no nonsense, straight forward, non PhD needing look at ultra running unlike I’ve ever read before.
I could go into all the details that the author covers but the list would be too long. All I’ll say is if you want to learn…read it. If you want affirmation that you’re on the right path..read it. Or if you’re anywhere in between..you guessed it..read it. You’ll learn something. I guarantee it.
Relentless Forward Progress is a must have book as it helps with every aspect of ultra marathon training, nutrition, race strategy, and time management. The book also outlines training plans for those of us who aren’t running more than 60 miles a week. Bryon Powell has outlined the process of how to be successful at finishing ultra marathons on 40 miles per week! I’ll be using this book to prepare for my first 50 miler.
