By: Dean Karnazes     
The Road to Sparta is the story of the 153-mile run from Athens to Sparta that inspired the marathon and saved democracy, as told—and experienced—by ultramarathoner and New York Times bestselling author Dean Karnazes.

In 490 BCE, Pheidippides ran for 36 hours straight from Athens to Sparta to seek help in defending Athens from a Persian invasion in the Battle of Marathon. In doing so, he saved the development of Western civilization and inspired the birth of the marathon as we know it. Even now, some 2,500 years later, that run stands enduringly as one of greatest physical accomplishments in the history of mankind.

Karnazes personally honors Pheidippides and his own Greek heritage by recreating this ancient journey in modern times. Karnazes even abstains from contemporary endurance nutrition like sports drinks and energy gels and only eats what was available in 490 BCE, such as figs, olives, and cured meats. Through vivid details and internal dialogs, The Road to Sparta offers a rare glimpse into the mindset and motivation of an extreme athlete during his most difficult and personal challenge to date. This story is sure to captivate and inspire—whether you run great distances or not at all.

Miracle Oil for Thicker, Healthier Hair!
I am seriously impressed with this Batana Oil Paste. It has a lovely, natural feel and has already made my hair noticeably thicker, softer, and more manageable. The fact that it's 100% pure and sustainably sourced from Honduras gives me confidence in the quality. My scalp feels nourished—a fantastic natural product!

This product did not work on my hair as it said it would
I have used this Product over three months and still haven’t seen a results, but I will order another one and see what happened with the second jar. My edges is still the same with no improvement? I was expecting a change since I read about it can grow ball spots. My edges is not completely ball but you can see a little hair there but as I use this products it did not help or change any length or anything my edges are still the same before I used the product it’s still the same after used it. I am so disappointed. Even though it didn’t help the first time I’m still gonna try it a second time just to make sure.

As seen on FB but cheaper.
I saw this advertised on FB. Much less expensive on Amazon. I have not used it long so I cannot provide how effective it is with growth. Some reviews have negative comments about the coffee smell. I didn’t notice this. However, my satin pillow cases did stain. Haven’t tried to wash so I cannot comment on the permanence.
