review 1: An interesting memoir of an ultra runner who completed 50 marathons in 50 states over 50 days. This book didn't have the wild passion if UltraMarathon Man but it's still a fun read. I listened to this on audio, which was narrated by the author. While it was neat to hear the author read his book, the narration wasn't as smooth as the audio of UltraMarathon Man. I found it a bit distracting. Overall a fun running memoir.
review 2: This book was exactly what I needed to convince me to sign up for my first marathon. DK is funny and his tone reached me as a sedentary non-athlete. I read "Ultramarathon Man" on the treadmill at the gym, tears streaming down my face, the year I started running. DK has taken me from struggling through one mile with a stitch in my side,
... moreto running an easy 25k three years later. According to the chart in 50/50, I could run a marathon 7 weeks from now! less

An interesting and inspiring story, if you can ignore the saccharine and preachy bits.
