The 4-Hour Body - An Uncommon Guide to Rapid Fat-Loss, Incredible Sex, and Becoming Superhuman - Timothy Ferriss

The "marathon monks" of Mount Hiei in Japan run and walk the equivalent of an ultramarathon every day for six years, some averaging 84 kilometers per day for the last 100 days of training. I wasn't looking promising as a monk. "Am I ready for the Olympics, coach?" I jokingly asked Tertius Kohn PhD as he sat me down in his o ce at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa. Five days earlier, I'd had a biopsy tube the size of a pencil jammed into the side of my thigh17 to skip the theory and look directly at the limits of my muscle. Much teeth grinding, three muscle samples, and a myography lab later, I finally had answers. Tertius looked at me with a serious expression. "I'm a doctor, so I like to speak plainly. You might not like what I'm going to tell you, but I'm going to tell you anyway." I'm going to tell you anyway." "Ummm ... Okay." "You'd have trouble finishing a 10K." I nodded. "In fact, I think you'd have trouble finishing a 5K."
