Just finished Ultramarathon Man by Dean Karnazes. Not great but not bad.
Hate that book - and that guy - so much. 'So, I did this race that was so long no-one in the world could do it, it was, like, climbing Everest 26 times. I was at a stage when normal humans would just die, but then my awesomeness took over and I surged like a golden god. It was the most incredible performance this planet has ever seen. I came 6th. Anyway, I don't think I've mentioned my sponsor Powerbar three times on this page yet, so I'll just do that again.' A tiresome egomaniac self-publicist polluting a great sport mainly full of pretty humble and undemonstratively inspirational people.
I know a bunch of guys who've raced with him and am assured that he's just as big a douche in real life.
