Finn perfectly captures why we run for silly distances and what we feel when we push ourselves to our physical and mental limits. Without resorting to extraneous adjectives he shows how we talk ourselves into pushing even deeper than we're comfortable admitting. To arrive at the finish line, on the other side of darkness and pain, is very difficult to explain. “Rise of the Ultra Runners” is what I want to give to others after I complete an Ultramarathon, to say “here - this is what I feel.”
