ON THE EAGLE'S PATH: FROM THE DIARY OF A SLOW ULTRAMARATHONER In his book, Honza shares his story about searching for "ultra" and pursuing one crazy dream that came true in early autumn 2019 – completing the Grand Slam of Ultrarunning, four 100-mile ultramarathons run within four months.

But this book isn't just for those dreaming of running ultras – it's a peek behind the scenes for those whose loved ones have already caught the ultrarunning bug or are catching it now – for wives, children...

And of course, this book is in Czech.

Honza is 59, a mathematician and statistician who started running at 45. And this is how his running story began:

"In the fall of 2008, my student Juraj was celebrating his dissertation. During one round of tequila, he challenged everyone present to toast – saying we'd all run a half marathon next spring and finish it. It wasn't the first toast of the evening, spring seemed far away, and in that cheerful atmosphere, the whole thing sounded like a good idea. Almost like undressing and jumping into a cactus. We enthusiastically agreed and, quite logically, we toasted again that we'd also run a marathon in May. That's how it all started for me..."
