About this listen

Aside from her rock star looks, Catra Corbett is a standout in the running world on her accomplishments alone. Catra is the first American woman to run over 100 miles or more on more than 100 occasions and the first to run 100 and 200 miles in the Ohlone Wilderness, and she holds the fastest known double time for the 425-miles long John Muir Trail, completing it in 12 days, four hours, and 57 minutes.

And, unbelievably, she's also a former meth addict.

After two years of addiction, Catra is busted while selling, and a night in jail is enough to set her straight. She gives up drugs and moves back home with her mother, abandoning her friends, her boyfriend, and the lifestyle that she came to depend on. Her only clean friend pushes her to train for a 10K with him, and surprisingly, she likes it and decides to run her first marathon after that.

In Reborn on the Run, the listener keeps pace with Catra as she runs through difficult terrain and extreme weather, is stalked by animals in the wilderness, and nearly dies on a training run but continues on, smashing running records and becoming one of the world's best ultrarunners.

Great story if someone who achieved so much after being at such a low point in life. The writing style is a bit odd at times but didn’t bother me too much

I really enjoyed this book, very authentically told. There may be more technical books on ultra distance running but this story is told in such a way to give enough of those details but more importantly giving insight into the characters involved in this field of epic human achievements. Catra’s story is definitely very inspirational, not enough to make be go out & run 100miles but definitely to work through life’s challenges while enjoying my running.

Great insight into the world of ultra distance running

It’s awesome what she overcame, but at times it was pretty slow going and I had to force myself to keep listening. Her writing is quite disjointed at times and lacks flow. Overall it’s OK but I prefer more uplifting stories personally.

Pretty average
