Interesting article on ESPN.com on ultra running I always like it when the mainstream media discusses ultra running. The topic of insanity is always brought up.
Article has a good quote from Yiannis Kouros:
“Ultra running is a metaphysical event,” Kouros explained. “If you don’t have that kind of idiosyncrasy, you will never become an ultra runner, even if you train all your life. I am one of those people who recommend and try to inspire people to get involved with running. But ultra is not a fun-running sport — it’s only for unique souls.”

I can barely handle regular running, let alone ultra running. Interesting article though.
