Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this book is fun, fascinating, and worth reading, with many readers praising the new stories and training tips. Some also note that the advice is helpful and practical, though a few feel it is more of a good starting guide than a deeply detailed training manual.
Goodreads reviewers are similarly mixed-to-positive, with some calling it inspirational and useful for runners of all levels, while others mention filler and uneven pacing. A book review on Ultrarunning coverage describes it as a practical, illustrated guide focused on core running themes like food, fitness, form, footwear, focus, fun, and family.
On review sites and blogs, readers generally highlight the book’s motivational tone and actionable exercises, but some say it does not fully match the promise of being an “ultimate” guide. Overall, the feedback suggests strong appeal for runners who want a mix of inspiration, philosophy, and approachable training ideas.
