Super Awesome

Easy to listen to with great advice. The tips and training plan were worth the price, the story is icing on the cake though.

Great Listen, Informative

I’ve been listening to books on books in the ultra running genre lately, and I appreciated this book for its straightforward, but humble delivery. There’s is a wide array of information for those curious, interested and or in the thick of the ultra running lifestyle. I would’ve liked more of a backstory on the rise of Hal, but I definitely appreciate the humility and insight on mistakes and wins. The narrator was good and had pleasant delivery style. Totally recommend.

Spectacular

This book is an absolute wealth of information that is backed up by experience. It is all very informal sounding, but Hal knows what he's talking about.
