Reverse-engineering the Ultramarathon

Why not?


With love and respect to all of my non-running friends, there are some stock things that many of you tend to say to runners, and pretty much all of us have heard them many times. A couple of examples:

When someone finds out that I run a lot...
"Isn't that hard on your knees?"

When I explain I'm an ultrarunner and tell them how long my last race was...
"I don't even like to drive that far!"
