An inspirational and motivating read from start to finish, ‘A Hundred Reasons to Run 100km’ is almost persuading at giving the 100km ultra a go. It includes stories not just from the writer, Margreet Dietz, an ultra marathon runner and five time Ironman finisher, but also from other runners who have taken the plunge and ran an ultra marathon. But even if you’re not planning to run 100km or any ultra the book is still a worthy read. From the simple, ‘because it’s always good to be outside,’ to the more practical, ‘because you understand the concept of hydration’ to the motivating, ‘because if you believe, you can’ and many others equally affective.
With only 104 pages, it’s a quick read. Once you’re done you can easily mark your favourites and go back when you need a little push in the right direction. Running is a way of life and ‘A hundred reasons to run 100km’ is a great read when you need some extra pretext beyond ‘because it makes you feel fantastic.’
