50/50: Secrets I Learned Running 50 Marathons in 50 Days- and How You Too Can Achieve Super Endurance! Book

Dean Karnazes' athletic memoir '50 50 - Secrets I Learned Running 50 Marathons in 50 days - and How You Too Can Achieve Super Endurance!" is less of a training encyclopedia and more of a inspirational bio of one individual who dared to take it to the next level. The amazing descriptions, clear cut language and the sincerity by which every paragraph has been ubiquitously crafted, takes the reader right to where the incidents took place.
26.2 Miles each with 42 Staged Marathons and 8 Live Marathons added up with planners, organizers, police escorts, public crowds, official routes with unofficial moments, pain, mental agony, mistakes and moments of doubts - all sum up to the 50 Marathons in 50 states in 50 days. And if you thought that was just about it - well add up another few hours giving interviews, signing books and interacting with people.
What I personally loved about the book was the simplicity in which it was crafted, the tips which were shared with each episode, the humble nature of making each marathon look more like a challenge and task at hand - rather than a successful achievement in itself made this book stand out. In fact do not be surprised if you catch yourself trying to emulate Dean and wanting to try your hand (or leg) for that matter in running.
Overall - A book worth reading.
Overall rating - 7 out of 10.
