Published by Guardian Faber, 2019, softcover, 370 pages, condition: as new.

Ultra running is one of the fastest growing sports in the world, with an ever-expanding cohort of fans and competitors. But is the rise of this most brutal and challenging sport with races that extend into hundreds of miles an antidote to modern life, or a symptom of a modern illness?
In Ultra Running, award-winning author Adharanand Finn travels to the heart of the sport to investigate the reasons behind its rise, and to discover what it takes to be an ultra runner. Through encounters with the extreme and colourful characters of the ultramarathon world, and his own experiences of training for the 106-mile Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc, Finn offers a fascinating account of people testing the boundaries of human endeavour.

Adharanand Finn is the author of Running with the Kenyans (2012) and The Way of the Runner (2015). The first of these was the Sunday Times Sports Book of the Year, won Best New Writer at the British Sports Book Awards and was shortlisted for the William Hill Sports Book Award. He is a journalist at the Guardian and also writes regularly for the Financial Times, the Independent, Runners World, Mens Health and many others.
