Description
From Prokopské Valley and the Brdy hills through Zane Grey 50 miles, Magredi Mountain Trail, Transgrancanaria, Ronda dels cims, Thames Path, and The Kerry Way Ultra to Western States, Vermont, Leadville, and Wasatch Front. A story about the search for 'ultra' and the long journey towards a somewhat crazy dream that happily came true in early autumn 2019 with the completion of the American series Grand Slam of Ultrarunning, four hundred-mile ultramarathons run over four months. The book is aimed not only at those who dream of ultramarathon courses but also at those who may not have mustered the courage yet. It seeks to give insight into the behind-the-scenes for those whose loved ones have already succumbed to distant running or are slowly succumbing — wives, children, friends... So they can learn what actually happens on the race courses, what the rules are, and how strong the ultra community is. And to understand that arriving home after a race with battered legs and an upset stomach, yet absolutely happy, does not necessarily have to be a sign of madness.
