Stu Mittleman stands out in the ultramarathon field for running 1,000 miles (1 609.344 kilometers) in 11 days, 20 hours 36 min. 56 sec. in 1986. He and his wife, Mary Beth, are the parents of three children, Beau, Alana, and Mackenzie.

Extolled by peak performance expert Tony Robbins, Stu is himself an author and fitness trainer, having written Slow Burn: Slow Down, Burn Fat, and Unlock the Energy Within (ISBN 0-06-273674-4). The book is based upon three basic tenets:

Think: Attitude and focus as the foundation
Train: Run to create energy for life
Eat: Energize frequently with natural foods and plenty of water. The book proposes a semi-low carb nutrition regimen, using the metaphor of carbs being a car's battery and fat being the fuel, and with recommendations for snacks such as almonds and salads.

He currently resides in Southern California, where he runs WorldUltrafit, a fitness coaching and consulting firm.
