Finding Ultra
From overweight and alcoholic at 40 to ultra-endurance athlete
Getting sober, changing his diet, going from unfit and middle-aged to completing extreme endurance events: Rich Roll's memoir works as proof of concept rather than training manual. The plant-based angle is what most readers take from it. The sobriety is load-bearing.
