Chicago winter running
If you are serious about ultrarunning, a good reference book is Fixing Your Feet found here --> http://www.fixingyourfeet.com/aboutfyf.html. THE ultimate ultra magazine is called ultraRUNNING (link http://www.ultrarunning.com/ultra/issues/may-2006.shtml - yours truly took the picture on the cover of the 25th anniversary edition!). It includes lots of "how to" regarding hydration and nutrition, as well as many, many race reports on various races across the country. Some good running books are... Running Through the Wall: Personal Encounters With the Ultramarathon, To the Edge: A Man, Death Valley, and the Mystery of Endurance (my personal favorite about a non-ultra runner tackling Badwater - http://www.amazon.com/Edge-Death-Valley-Mystery-Endurance/dp/044667902X/ref=sr_1_112/105-0622151-3229245?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1184862050&sr=1-112), And Then the Vulture Eats You, Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All Night Runner (http://www.amazon.com/Edge-Death-Valley-Mystery-Endurance/dp/044667902X/ref=sr_1_112/105-0622151-3229245?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1184862050&sr=1-112) and The Ultimate Guide to Trail Running.
