Extrem löpning : Ultra, trail och skyrunning
269 kr
Läs mer härAtt springa, fort och långt, handlar om att göra en resa, - oavsett om ditt äventyr utspelar sig på vindlande spår längs bergstoppar, i intensiv ökenhetta, utmed steniga stigar, eller bara på din vanliga runda. Ultralöpning pressar ben, hjärta, lungor och inte minst viljestyrka till det yttersta. Ian Corless har rest runt jorden för att dokumentera de fantastiska banorna och den oerhörda skönheten i världens mest ikoniska ultralopp. Den intensiva, fysiska sporten skildras i en samling otroliga fotografier - från den svåra och tekniskt utmanande banan genom Grand Canyon till de snötäckta bergstopparna i Dolomiterna. Varje lopp presenteras med kartor och fakta, och bokens slående vackra bilder fångar tävlingarnas action och drama - och de män och kvinnor som deltar och presterar. Dessutom innehåller boken exklusiva intervjuer med legender inom ultralöpning som Kilian Jornet, som även skrivit förord till boken, Anton Krupicka och svenska Emelie Forsberg. Sportens stjärnor berättar om de -

Problemet är att Malik inte har tagit ett löpsteg på tjugo år. Dagen efter sin första löptur kan han knappt röra sig. Och Ines ser han inte till igen.

Våra 3 favoriter av löparböcker
Det finns några böcker som sticker ut och som fångat intresset kring löpningen lite extra. Vi vill lyfta fram dessa tre då vi tycker de är bra löparböcker att läsa en eller flera gånger. Böckerna som tillför en extra dimension kring löpning som en livsstil.
Born to Run, löparbok av Christopher McDougall

Nästan alla inbitna löpare man pratar med nämner denna kultförklarade bok. Den handlar om den mexikanska indianstammen Tarahumara som beskrivs som det löpande folket. I Copper Canyons tar de sig fram på sina tunna sandaler i oländig terräng mil efter mil.
I boken får man följa flera kända karaktärer inom ultralöpning som till exempel Scott Jurek. Micah True (aka Caballo Blanco) är amerikanen som bosatte sig i Mexico och föll för löparkulturen hos Tarahumaras. Han organiserar ett lopp 2003 (Copper Canyon Ultra Marathon) och det är bland annat det loppet som man får följa i Born to Run.
Eat and Run, av Scott Jurek

En rent subjektiv känsla är att antalet vegetarianer och veganer är större bland trail och ultralöpare än i övriga samhället. Kanske är det för att den levande legenden inom sporten, Scott Jurek, har lyft fram vegansk kosthållning som en nyckelfaktor för träning och återhämtning.
Eat and Run är en av hans böcker och handlar om hans löpning och kost. Det finns en del recept också i boken även om det mesta är skrivet som en biografi över hans löparliv.
Löparglädje - en liten bok om löpning av Rune Larsson

Rune Larsson är lite av svenska ultralöpningsvärldens pappa. Han har i sin lilla bok om löpning sammanfattat hur han ser glädjen i löpningen och hur man kan träna för att behålla den livet ut.
På Rune Larssons meritlista finns bland annat tre segrar i det ultralånga loppet Spartathlon som går över 246 kilometer. Som lite kuriosa kan vi även nämna att Rune har rott över Atlanten och sprungit tvärs över hela USA. Du kan köpa boken här.
