Summary
Long before Cory Reese strapped on his first pair of running shoes, he learned the key to being a successful ultrarunner: He knew how to suffer.
In Nowhere Near First, Cory shares his deeply personal story about experiencing his father’s suicide at a young age, and how this led to a career in endurance running and a desire to live life to the fullest.
Nowhere Near First is a humorous, captivating, and uplifting account of Cory’s memorable ultramarathon experiences. Not only does Cory’s entertaining and powerful writing allows listeners a unique perspective into the challenges and rewards of running, but it also inspires each of us to turn tragedy into triumph.
“Cory Reese writes with humor, humbleness and honesty. His story is both uplifting and real, and his tales of persistence and perseverance are sure to inspire, whether you’re at the front of the pack or nowhere near first. Regardless of the title, this book’s a winner!” (Dean Karnazes, author of Ultramarathon Man: Confessions of an All-Night Runner)
“Cory Reese’s book, Nowhere Near First, is an immensely entertaining and profoundly educational story about overcoming challenges to forge a meaningful life. Reese’s story is must-read for people looking to find meaning and purpose in modern-day society.” (Karl Hoagland, publisher, UltraRunning Magazine)
“Cory has penned a very personal account of overcoming hardship in his personal and athletic life. Nowhere Near First tells his story of perseverance and survival in a vivid, down and dirty way that peaks with his extraordinarily positive way of looking at life.” (Marshall Ulrich, author of Running On Empty: An Ultramarathoner’s Story of Love, Loss, and a Record-Setting Run Across America)

Fun & real life experience
Running 200 miles is hard enough in concept, running around & around show’s dedicated mindset. The loss of his father I understand would not be dwelled on too long. A very encouraging & entertaining book. Recommend.
Cory narrates well & occasionally I picked up a little emotion. Worth investing. I have the paper copy but needed to hear it in his own words

I enjoyed the content of this book but found the same tone all the way through quite difficult

Painful Narration
Not the most exciting books by any means and narrator is shocking. Talks about 'running' 100 mile ultras in 30hrs (that's walking pace), taking photos of himself jumping all the time and uses Forrest Gump one liners. Really painful listen and would return it if I could. :-(
