Ultra running has never been more popular, and we know exactly why. Of course, everyone has their own reasons for becoming an ultra runner but for us, it’s all about pushing our boundaries and continually finding that we are so much stronger than we think! This list of the best ultra running books is bound to get you inspired to run further than you ever thought possible.

There have been countless running and adventure books that have inspired us along the way, but here are what we consider to be the best ultrarunning books within that collection – I love to read and have read all of these ultra running books myself – some, more than once. It’s incredible what some of these ultra runners have achieved and continue to achieve, and reading others’ stories about ultra running only fuels the fire to tackle new challenges and keep pushing the limits of what our minds and bodies can achieve.

“The confidence that comes from ultrarunning is so powerful that it becomes an addiction.”

Why Not Try Audible Instead: A word about using Audible to read/listen as Audiobooks

If you’ve never tried Audible or haven’t got into audiobooks before, I highly recommend signing up for a free trial! The biggest advantages of using Audible to listen to books, rather than reading them, are that:

  • Get a FREE book. When you sign up for a free trial of Audible, you get 1 free audiobook + 2 free Audible Originals to get you started. After 30 days of your free trial, you get 1 audiobook and 2 Audible Originals each month for $14.95/mo. If you decide to cancel online at anytime, you get to keep all your audiobooks.
  • Listening to someone narrate the book can be more impactful than reading written words.
  • You can listen to audiobooks and get your fix of motivational self-improvement books while doing other things – boring things that don’t otherwise enhance your life, such as commuting, and doing household chores.
  • You can consume information quickly. If you like to consume information fast, you can actually playback the audiobooks faster than just 1x speed. The faster you play them back, the more the narrator will sound like a chipmunk, but the benefit is you can absorb more information SO much faster than reading a book, or even listening to one at normal speed for that matter.
  • Audible is always with you… If you have your phone with you, you have your audiobooks with you.
