* While many of the plans include speedwork, all that specified is the duration of speedwork for each week. Byron does describe various speedwork techniques and paces, but it's left up to the reader to work out what to do when.
* Byron provides advice on how to tailor the training plans to your specific needs, something that most people need to do to one extent or another.
* There is some advice on modifying a [[[[A Comparison of Marathon Training Plans| Marathon Training Plan]] for use with a 50K race.
* The book includes a wide variety of general advice on ultrarunning, and this alone justifies the price of the book in the effort of reading it.
* The guidance on hydration is outdated, unscientific, and dangerous. Byron is still recommending that you drink beyond your thirst, a leading cause of [[Hyponatremia]].
