In this episode we have a repeat guest, Claire Maxted, and she talks to us about her new book, The Ultimate Ultra Running Handbook.
The Ultimate Ultra Running Handbook is not called “ultimate” for no reason. It goes through many topics in a beginner friendly way with lots of lists and pictures. If you have Claires previous book, The Ultimate Trail Running Handbook, then the format will be familiar to you. Almost every trail running question is touched on during the 7 chapters and there are also training plans for distances from 50k to 100 miles to get you started! The chapter titles are:
- Quick Start
- Preparation and Skills
- Physical Training
- Hydration and Nutrition
- Beat Injury
- Ultra Gear
- Events
Claire Maxted is co-founder and former editor of Trail Running magazine. She now runs the YouTube channel Wild Ginger Running , creating films packed with trail and ultra-running advice, athlete interviews, gear reviews and race recces. Her website is www.wildgingerrunning.co.uk
We had the pleasure of speaking with Claire at the end of 2023 about her other book, The Ultimate Trail Running Handbook, and you can go back to listen to that episode if you enjoy this one.
