Summary
David Clark went from the rock bottom of bankruptcy, addiction, and obesity to becoming an accomplished athlete. In this compelling story of his life, he not only shares his journey with complete honesty, but he also lays out a blueprint for change that anyone can use to redefine what is possible.
Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery is the story of a man who never had a chance to find out who he was. Growing up in the hardest of circumstances, poor, homeless, and traveling the country in his father's pickup truck, David Clark was no stranger to the hard knocks of life. Yet, without the benefit of any formal education in his early years, he lifted himself all the way up to owning a chain of 13 retail stores by the time he was 29 years old only to lose it all to addiction, poor choices, and tough economic breaks. In the aftermath, David started spiraling toward death, spending years eating recklessly, drinking and drugging himself, and growing farther and farther away from everyone around him. One day the thought occurred to him: "if I don't change today, I will die." David went on to completely redefine himself, his values, and his very way of looking at life. He lost over 150 pounds and kept it off - not only that, but he went on to compete in some of the toughest endurance events in the world. Today David is a loving father of three, running coach, sponsored runner, speaker, and gym owner. He dedicates his time to sharing the story of how we can all change everything about ourselves if we want to badly enough. Out There: A Story of Ultra Recovery is the unwashed and unfiltered reality of David's journey. It is brutally and unflinchingly honesty and a testament to the power of redemption and the human spirit.

Very very long winded
About half of the book is about the authors fight with addition and how he over came it.
Whiling it’s inspiring, I was expecting more content on the running aspect. Well done to him for fighting his demons and knocking out the ultra marathon

Awesome story
A truly epic story of a man who turned his life around. I recommend this to everyone I know who is aiming at some kind of transformation, or people looking for motivation. Fantastic

Journey excellent let down by the narrator.
David writes a compelling journey about much more than running. We can all learn to grow as individuals from this story.
The narrator is awful through. Cringy accents, a voice that irritates and distracts from the power of the book.

Ultra Torture!
As a keen runner i was expecting to be entertained and informed by someone who has definitely 'been there and got the T shirt'.
And, like a good endurance athlete i stuck with it to the bitter end, hour upon hour of torturous and irrelevant detail about his personal life and battle with various addictions.
But the real problem with this book is that, as relevant as some of the details might be, its just badly written.
Not all singers get to perform in front of thousands, likewise not all artists have there work on display in top gallery's, there just not at that level yet, and as an author 'David Clark' is just not at the level necessary to keep an audience entertained and interested.

Yey For 'Murica
Insanely dull and predictable, and unless you're seriously into 'Murica, God and a strong belief that women are fulfilled and good and saintly if they sacrifice every cell of their bodies to the family, don't bother wasting your money.
