Beyond The Marathon.

© John Seeley

Bob Boeder is an ultra marathoner and an author. His book, Beyond The Marathon: The Grand Slam of Trail Ultrarunning is an amazing adventure about the realism and ultimate emotional and physical challenges that face someone who dares to attempt the Grand Slam; which is finishing four 100 mile races.

Bob did it within the space of 14 weeks!

The events he picked says something about the astounding nature of the man! In 1994, he completed the Old Dominion 100 Miler; the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run; the Leadville Trail 100 and the Wasatch Front 100 Mile Endurance Run. All this in one single summer!

If you want a riveting read about these races and if you want to get inside the mind and soul of an ultra runner, then you need to get this book!

Bob is still running and is also a race organizer. I have a link in the links area to his web site where you may order his book. Believe me, it is well worth it! It is a "can't put down" type of compelling read you will enjoy.

When you go visit his web site, be sure to say hello to him.
