Summary: The Title Says It All
Comment: Rarely does a book title tell you everything that's going to be inside the covers, but The Ultimate Guide to Trail Running sure does. No topic is left uncovered, or better still, in trail parlance, no rock unturned in covering every possible question about making way on those earthen paths.
I first read this book before I began the adventures enjoyed running, training, and racing on trails. It supported my thirst for knowledge and, incidentally, how to quench the real thirst in the woods.
With a few years of ultradistance runs and races in the ultra bank, I find referring to the book is like asking a trail friend a question . . . except in this case Nancy Hobbs and Adam Chase are true ultimate ultrathoners themselves.
You can't call yourself a trail runner or ultra racer without your own copy underlined, pages turned down, carried with you like one's favorite gear.

This is a great book for the novice to intermediate trail runner who wants to understand how to acquire an intimate and healthy relationship with running off-road. It covers nutrition, techniques, terrain, gear, climate, and much more. If also covers those nasty little surprises like snakes, mountain lions, bears, boars and insects. This guide gives you important abstracts and introductions to heighten your trail running experience; required reading for any beginner.
