I really enjoyed Feet in the Clouds. Something a bit different from the standard biographical stories.

In the latter category, there are the books by elite long distancers, like Scott Durek’s EAt and Run. Or Dean Karnazes Ultramarathon Man.

I quite enjoyed Ira Rainey’s Fat Man to Green Man. It’s not a literary great, but he writes with wit and this charts his attempt at the Green Man ultra that winds its way around Bristol.

Do you think Pert is key to all of this?

Scott Jurek's book is also worth a read... Eat And Run.

The one I really want to read is the Zatopek one.

I listened to the Bella Mackie book, very good not only from a running point of view but also to anyone suffering mental health problems or for those who have family members suffering.
