I didn't run my first ultramarathon until I was 48. If you'd told my younger self that this would happen, she wouldn't have believed you. But here's what I've learned: the right guidance, the right mindset, and the right community can help you achieve something you never thought possible.

This book is your companion for that journey. It covers everything you need to know—from health and training to strength work, nutrition, gear, foot care, mental resilience, and race day. But it's more than just my voice. Each chapter features expert contributions from professionals who have run ultras themselves, bringing real-world wisdom to every topic.

You'll also find something special: unique advice from well-known figures in the ultrarunning community, each sharing their One Piece of Advice for older athletes training for their first ultra.

Whether you're curious, committed, or somewhere in between, this book will meet you where you are.

About us

OTH Publishing is an independent publishing house created in 2026 by writer and author Jane Davies.

It started with an idea for a book. Turning that idea into an actual book meant getting creative, so OTH Publishing was born.

Now we’re here, why stop at one idea?
