 Some very interesting passages that can leave you inspired. As a runner myself and knowing a few ultrarunners, I am familiar with similar stories from them...but it's nice to see one of the ultra's get recognized and be able to share their experiences.

 Really good book isn't just about running, if you pay attention to the message it tells you to not always look for the easy way out in life.

 great to inspire non-runners like myself also great for those of you who are runners. There are actually races over 100 miles. I'm amazed that we are designed to run like that as humans. Amazing.

 Dull format of articles on various chapters of running and very little on the actual 50 marathons. I suspect it's because the 50 marathons weren't much of a challenge for Dean unlike his other adventures in his first book.

It's inspiring in parts and fun in others but overall it reads like a health magazine just giving tips here and there.

 Dean Karnazes is really inspiring and as a novice runner there are lots of little tips throughout the book. He shares stories from other runners that ran with him during this challenge. Very motivating!

 It was alrightt.. Not nearly as good as the first one. It didn't accurately capture the amazing-ness of what he did - not that I can think of any way you could.

 Not what I expected; small snippets of each marathon that left you wanting to know more and a lot of beginner running tips. Just seemed like there was more filler than needed. His first book was more of what I thought this one would be.

 Really wish that he would have talked more about his experiences in the various marathons. The book was the most engaging when he was talking about his personal experiences or his experiences with other runners during the Endurance 50. The marathon tips that were interspersed were pretty generic and not new if you have read any other marathon training books.
