Reviews and Interviews

Relentless Forward Progress

• Competitor Running review by Matt Fitzgerald -”I can think of nothing that would give me more confidence going into my first ultramarathon than having read this book. Nothing is left out.”
• A Trail Runner’s Blog review by Scott Dunlap – “I think it’s the perfect thing to give an aspiring ultrarunner, a friend who is curious about what you do, or anybody new to crewing. I’m going to keep a few copies handy for sure.”
• My Track Record review by Greg Crowther – “Powell manages to keep things simple without being overly simplistic. Perhaps most admirably, he imparts reasonable suggestions rather than inflexible dogma.”
• Running and Rambling review by Donald Buraglio – “Considering how much the popularity of ultrarunning has exploded in recent years, a book like this was long overdue, and Bryon was probably the perfect person to write it.”
• See Dane Run review by Dane Rauschenberg – “When you have written one book and are in the process of writing your next, reading a book that falls into your own wheelhouse is almost a trap. You could easily pick it apart and think ‘Well I would have done this there and would not have added that here.’ I found myself saying this not once.”
• The Runner’s Trip review by Sarah Lavender Smith – “[C]ountless runners surely will hit the trail and achieve their ultra-distance goals thanks to this book’s wisdom.”
• Who Has the Runs review – “I highly recommend this book to anyone who is thinking about doing an ultramarathon, as well as anyone who has just signed up for their first one. Bryon has taken that unwieldy amount of information you are now getting from the internet and explains it as if he’s your best friend, sitting next to you.”
• Dirt Dawg Podcast – Episode 86 (audio) – An April 2011 discussion about the book
• Dirt Dawg book review – “This is a book that even myself with some ultra experience under my belt will be going back to again and again.”
• Another Mile review – “For the bookish runner (like myself) Relentless Forward Progress deserves a place on your bookshelf – maybe next to the Jeff Galloway book you picked up when you started running, since this is really the ultimate guide for the beginning ultra runner.”
• To See a Dream by Meghan M Hicks – Meghan shares a behinds her scenes take on the creation of Relentless Forward Progress.
