Book review – “Running through the wall”
Short and good review on the book Running Through the Wall: Personal Encounters With the Ultramarathon, a compilation of personal stories written by runners after their experiences in ultramarathons. The fact the book is written by several different people has it’s virtues and defects: the writing is not consistent as you would expect from a teaching book (which this book is not) but it also makes it easier that you like some stories and you get back to them and read independently. If you like to read stories from other racers, read the whole review and check out other opinions on Amazon. This could be a book you may like.
