Running Out
Two elite endurance athletes and their child survive a plane crash in the remote wilderness of northern Quebec. With no rescue expected, one of them laces up his trail shoes and sets off for help. As a medical professional and an experienced ultrarunner, Dan understands what the human body can be made to do, and he’s ready for the stages of biological breakdown he encounters, but he underestimates the landscape before him.

Wasn't bad. As a runner, I enjoyed learning of the main protagonist's path in life. I don't want to spoil the book, but the end left me hanging a bit. I don't think it was wrapped up well.

This was a great book. In the beginning I thought there were too many story lines and it was a little confusing, but once I caught on it was much better. By the end I couldn't put it down. It's a great book for runners, especially distance runners.

As someone who is by no means athletic or anything, I found this harder for me to grasp, but as someone who enjoys science, I was quite intrigued by the layout and information that went into this story. It was a lot to take in and comprehend looking back, but the way it's sprinkled into the story of Dan's trials and present-time circumstances bridged the gap to let everything soak in. I didn't think it was up my alley, but I ended up enjoying this more than I thought. There's a bit of mild humor that lightens the situation, too. And I think that really brings out the internal reflection of who the main character is with this subtle shift of a man as his life becomes more than just running.
