Publisher's summary

Aside from her rock star looks, Catra Corbett is a standout in the running world on her accomplishments alone. Catra is the first American woman to run over 100 miles or more on more than 100 occasions and the first to run 100 and 200 miles in the Ohlone Wilderness, and she holds the fastest known double time for the 425-miles long John Muir Trail, completing it in 12 days, four hours, and 57 minutes.

And, unbelievably, she's also a former meth addict.

After two years of addiction, Catra is busted while selling, and a night in jail is enough to set her straight. She gives up drugs and moves back home with her mother, abandoning her friends, her boyfriend, and the lifestyle that she came to depend on. Her only clean friend pushes her to train for a 10K with him, and surprisingly, she likes it and decides to run her first marathon after that.

In Reborn on the Run, the listener keeps pace with Catra as she runs through difficult terrain and extreme weather, is stalked by animals in the wilderness, and nearly dies on a training run but continues on, smashing running records and becoming one of the world's best ultrarunners.

Authentic, honest, heartbreaking, and inspiring.

A truly inspiring story of healing through finding a passion. Catra is such a unique voice and’s I found much of what she has to say difficult to listen to. Often because it made me confront some of my own demons that chase me in my runs. The cause of many of her pains may be different from the readers, but the pain itself is all too familiar. It’s inspiring to hear from a tough as nails person who refuses to be defined by pain, and instead finds a way to use it as fuel for the positive. A great read. Highly recommended.

Catra is badass

As a fairly new runner ultra running is fascinating to me and a future goal. I started this book for the running knowledge and ultra stories. This book is so much more. A wonderful tale of resilience and determination. Challenges and triumphs of goals and trauma through a beautiful life. I have read the standard best sellers on self improvement and mental toughness, this book is at the top of the list. It has been my running companion for the past few weeks. Great story.

The kind of story that grips you and takes you along!

If this doesn’t inspire you to do better, be better then perhaps you are already there! Loved every word of it!
