Great reference book. I used one of the training plans for a 50k+ I just did this past weekend. I felt very prepared. Even though ultra running is not new to me, I still learned a lot from this book. I'm going to use it for my 50 mile training. This will be my first 50 miler, so I think Krissy's book will be a great tool. I have definitely quoted this book to several of my friends. This is a great book for all runners, new or old to the sport of ultra running. Simple, well thought out advice. I know this will be a book I keep coming back to throughout the years and throughout my training.

Second read through- offers good advice, but the training plans are very aggressive. I’m nowhere near elite status, but was able to make some use of the advice here.

This was a decent overview of all areas of ultra running, but most sections were incredibly brief; it left me wanting both more information and more references for the "everyone knows" kind of statements about different areas of training. I've read Internet articles that were more in-depth, and I thought, given the price of this book, this book would provide at least that level of depth.

Very helpful in preparation for an ultra. Even comes with a training plan. I found it to be very useful and will reference it several times while preparing for the next ultra race.

This was a good, simple read. I really liked the personal stories from Kristen Moehl, and the depth that she went into things, particularly crewing. This was less science focused than some of the other ultra running books i’ve been reading, but I think the stories have so much information.
