Product Description From the Publisher Part of the 'in extremis' book series, Mark uses his expertise as an exercise physiologist to describe, in fascinating detail, the details of training for, and competition in, the toughest multi-stage footrace in the world. There is an in-depth scientific review, focussing on hydration and exercise in hot and humid climates. An extensive appendix includes tips and suggestions for race clothing and equipment, as well as resources for where to obtain further information. From the Author The Jungle Marathon is probably not only the toughest multi-stage footrace in the world, but the most fun and enjoyable race too (for me, at least). The scenery changes second-by-second along the trail, as dense jungle foliage obscures what lies ahead. Turning a corner might bring one to a wide swamp crossing, a steep hill, a cool river, or a fallen tree to negotiate. The evenings are spent by a white sand beach, with a freshwater river extending for several kilometers to the opposite bank, looking more like a channel than a tributary to the Amazon river herself. Nights are spent in a hammock, falling asleep to the sounds of howler monkeys and cicadas. If I could choose only one multi-stage ultra to do again, then it would be the Jungle Marathon.
