Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner

Revised, updated and with a new afterword. The Ultramarathon man is back with new additions to his bestselling memoir

Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner helped introduce the world to ultramarathoning. Now, after three  decades of running ultramarathons across the globe, Karnazes is still  going strong. This updated and revised edition includes an afterword  full of the lessons he’s picked up along the way. He gives personal  details on the essential pillars of health—fitness, diet and sleep. What  does he eat, what supplements does he take, and what kind of mattress  does he sleep on? Aging well takes work and the man who hasn’t stopped  is sharing the tips and learnings that have kept him going, mile after  grueling mile.

Ultramarathon Man is Karnazes' story: the mind-boggling adventures of his nonstop treks  through the shoe-melting inferno of Death Valley, the lung-freezing  ferocity of the South Pole, and the awe-inspiring beauty of the towering  peaks and craggy canyons of the Sierra Nevada.

With an insight  and candor rarely seen in sports memoirs, he reveals how he navigates  the solitary, manic, self-absorbed life of hard-core ultrarunning with a  full-time job, a wife, and two children, and how running has made him  who he is today: a man with an ironclad body, a teenager's energy, and a  champion's wisdom.
