商品簡介
117 marathons, 52 days, 15 pairs of shoes, 9,000 calories a day, 3000 miles, 57 years old: A fascinating glimpse inside the mind of an ultramarathon runner and the inspirational saga of his phenomenal journey running across America.
Though many would say a man in his late fifties is past his prime, ultramarathoner, adventure runner, and mountaineer Marshall Ulrich is the ultimate extreme athlete. He has run more than one hundred foot races averaging about one hundred miles each, completed twelve expedition-length adventure races, and ascended the Seven Summits- including Mount Everest-all on his first attempt. Yet, his transcontinental run-the equivalent of running two marathons and a 10K every day for nearly two months straight-proved to be his most challenging effort yet.
Featured in the recent documentary film, Running America, Ulrich clocked the third-fastest transcontinental crossing to date and set new records in multiple divisions. In Running on Empty, he shares the gritty backstory, including brushes with death, run-ins with the police, and the excruciating punishments he endured at the mercy of his maxed-out body. Ulrich also reaches back nearly thirty years to when the death of the woman he loved drove him to begin running-and his dawning realization that he felt truly alive only when pushed to the limits.
Filled with mind-blowing stories from the road and his sensational career, Ulrich's memoir-like Dean Karnazes' Ultramarathon Man and Chris McDougall's Born to Run-imbues an incredible read with a universal message for athletes and nonathletes alike: face the toughest challenges, overcome debilitating setbacks, and find deep fulfillment in something greater than achievement.
