This is worth a read. Running With Joy-My daily journey to the marathon by Ryan Hall 2011.

As it says on the cover "American half Marathon Record Holder".

Perhaps also the 'Great white Hope'.

This books details his 14 week preparation for the 2010 Boston Marathon.

Hall is also very religious and he does not hesitate to say that he is a "passionate follower" of Jesus Christ.

Well he is certainly religious.

I counted 13 mentions of God in ONE paragraph (and that para only had 12 lines.)

When he wins a race he points to the sky in confirmation that God chose Ryan Hall to win!

He writes "I know I am His adopted son"

Relentless Forward Progress by Byron Powell. A guide to Running marathons.

Just purchased this. Don't know why as I can not run!

Anyway  a pretty detailed guide to running one of these ultra things. Probably directed more to those of us who have not gone further than a Marathon.

Nice easy style. Good read.

Looks like you're developing a speciality for trail ultras, Juergen.
