Ultra Marathon Running (Ultra Sports) [Library Binding]

Chris Hayhurst (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 5-8-This series is aimed at sports fanatics-those who have taken their obsession to the next level. As stated in the introduction of Marathon Running, you know what ultra means, "if you've ever pushed yourself to the limit-gone faster, farther, longer, or harder than you ever thought possible-." Readers will not find the basics of cycling or running in here, but they will find the history of ultra running and cycling, the required equipment, health and safety tips (such as what to do if you start hallucinating in the middle of a ride), and ultra competitions. Although there is a section on "camps for kids" and some of the Web sites are geared toward children, the photos show only adults and the lists for further reading contain all adult books.

There is not that many ultra running book. I missed the fact that it was some sort of school book that seems to be oriented toward kids (for ultra !!!!!).
