The Stamina for the Long Haul: Ultramarathons and Endurance Sports

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. While extreme sports seek to master complication and levels of difficulty, endurance sports maintain distance and stamina as focal points to their challengers.

Endurance sports, including ultramarathons, involve extensive training in order to maintain energy levels for long periods of time. These sports may involve running, cycling, or even walking.

This book explores all aspects of endurance sports including the various forms such as 24-hour runs, multiday races, or rogaining. Also included are some of the more notable endurance challenges and the athletes who rise to the occasion.
