marshall ulrich
foreword by christopher mcDougall
Running on empty
an ultramarathoner’s story of love, loss, and
a Record-setting Run across america
the ultimate endurance athlete, marshall ulrich has run more than one
hundred foot races averaging over one hundred miles each, completed twelve
expedition-length adventure races, and ascended the seven summits—
including mount everest. yet his run from california to new york—the
equivalent of running two marathons and a 10k every day for nearly two
months straight—proved to be his most challenging effort yet.
in Running on Empty he shares the gritty backstory of his run and the excruciating
punishments he endured on the road. ulrich also reaches back nearly thirty
years to when the death of his first wife drove him to run from his pain.
ulrich’s memoir imbues an incredible read with a universal message for athletes
and nonathletes alike: face the toughest challenges, overcome debilitating
setbacks, and find deep fulfillment in something greater than achievement.
