Anyone else read this one? I've been meaning to get hold of it since reading Ranulph Feinnes' autobiography, and i got it from Amazon for just over a fiver. After 4 days, i'm about 2/3 of the way through it, and i've already decided that i'm a hardened ultra-marathon runner*.
For those who don't know, Mike Stroud is something of an Authority on human endurance and nutrition - [url] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Stroud_%28physician%29 [/url]. He's done a lot of work with Ranulph Feinnes over the years, and has completed various expeditions to both Poles, among many other things.
A well recommended read for anyone with an interest in how the Human Body works, specifically how it copes in situations of extreme hardship; survival situations, endurance, etcetera.
*I've since decided i'm actually not a hardened ultra-marathon runner, after a quick 10k this afternoon left me feeling pretty sorry for myself!
