Book excerpt: "This is a story you’ll love and never forget."—Christopher McDougall, author, Born to Run and Natural Born Heroes Aside from her rock star looks, Catra Corbett is a standout in the running world on her accomplishments alone. Catra is the first American woman to run over one hundred miles or more on more than one hundred occasions and the first to run one hundred and two hundred miles in the Ohlone Wilderness, and she holds the fastest known double time for the 425-miles long John Muir Trail, completing it in twelve days, four hours, and fifty-seven minutes. And, unbelievably, she's also a former meth addict. After two years of addiction, Catra is busted while selling, and a night in jail is enough to set her straight. She gives up drugs and moves back home with her mother, abandoning her friends, her boyfriend, and the lifestyle that she came to depend on. Her only clean friend pushes her to train for a 10K with him, and surprisingly, she likes it—and decides to run her first marathon after that. In Reborn on the Run, the reader keeps pace with Catra as she runs through difficult terrain and extreme weather, is stalked by animals in the wilderness, and nearly dies on a training run but continues on, smashing running records and becoming one of the world's best ultrarunners. Along the way she attempts suicide, loses loved ones, falls in love, has her heartbroken, meets lifelong friends including her running partner and dachshund TruMan, and finally faces the past that led to her addiction.

Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I had started running to get healthier, but instead I ended up getting healthier while running. I was already suffering from blisters, but when I finished the race, my feet were in even worse shape than before. #2 I began running, and eventually competed in, my first hundred-mile race in 1999. I had lucked into a good one for beginners. The course was flat and wide, and the twenty-mile loop wound through scraggly woods that blotted out the sun. It smelled like wood and mold. #3 The trail was overrun with sneaky tree roots that could trip you if you weren’t paying attention. The dark air constricted your breathing, and the sounds of the race seemed to turn a bit more sinister. By mile seventy-five, your feet began to sweat again, and your shoes began to fill with needles. #4 I had completed a few races by this point, and knew that ultrarunners were as much about enduring as they were about running. I was determined to finish a hundred miles, even if it meant walking the last twenty. I was so sleepy that I could have curl up and take a nap right there.

Download or read book Everything Harder Than Everyone Else written by Jenny Valentish. This book was released on 2021-11-23. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A no-holds-barred, gonzo dive into the world of extreme behavior; from abstinence to ego, punishment to curiosity, obsession to reinvention, acclaimed journalist Jenny Valentish uncovers what drives those who push the limits of endurance. What do extreme eaters, MMA fighters, ultra-marathon runners, and BDSM practitioners have in common? What drives some people to push their bodies and minds to the brink, putting everything on the line to test the bounds of their capacity? When Jenny Valentish worked through her own addictions, she became fascinated by extremes in their myriad and unexpected manifestations. In the darkly funny, brash, and irresistible Everything Harder Than Everyone Else, Valentish immerses herself in the lives of sex workers, body builders, and dedicated fighters and finds that many of the people she encounters have overcome addictions and trauma to find release and community where the stakes are at their highest. Harnessing a journalistic approach that’s equal parts brazenly curious and remarkably compassionate, Valentish finds herself neck-deep in her own investigation, embroiling herself in the world of competitive Muay Thai fighting and in the dark chambers of a BDSM dungeon. At every turn she stares unflinchingly into the darker corners of culture that polite society ignores and repudiates, asking readers and herself, how far are you willing to go?
