BOOKS

 

Endurance Sports Nutrition, a great general reference book / bible that has nutritional sections focused on Ultra-distance efforts.

 

Triathlete's Guide to Mental Training. This book got my mind wrapped around concepts of how to break down 24-hours into smaller segments, and how to stay focused on the moment. Something Barefoot Ted would call "being in the present."

 

Swimming to Antarctica. Tales of a Long Distance Swimmer. This book was a huge inspiration when it comes to the mental game of battling the elements and pushing through, as well as appreciating those who come to support in your endurance endeavors.

 

Born to Run. The principles of allowing your feet to adjust and send feedback to the rest of your body apply to running and skateboarding alike. Also an entertaining and enlightening read about some of the characters that endurance events draw.
