Neat surprise, I didn't expect that I'll enjoy that one as much, but I did.
It's not a typical "running" book (as one could have thought, knowing that it was written by the runner) - by typical I mean one that covers all the technical aspects of running, diet, picking proper training regime, choosing shoes, etc. It's not even a typical sports book - this book is about humans' endurance in general & it covers this topic damn well, by exploring each of traits, dimensions & myths one after another.

So you can read here about physical & mental limitations. About oxygen, water, heat & energy. About placebos, motivation, exhaustion, ways w/o retreats & such ones when you can retreat anytime. Examples vary a lot - there are explorers, sports(wo)men and casual people. About training for endurance, barriers of pain & fooling it.

What this book ain't for sure is a set of given answers. If you're looking for a prescription of how to boost your endurance & improve results, you won't get a straight answer, because ... there's no single answer. But there's a high chance your awareness will increase in a way that will help you to understand yourself and your own, specific barriers. I've just finished this book, but I already have a feeling I'll keep getting back to it.

Recommended stuff.
