Experience the thrilling journey of Scott Jurek, one of the world’s most accomplished ultrarunners, through his captivating memoir. ‘Run until you can’t run anymore. Then run some more. Find a fresh source of energy and willpower. Then push yourself to run even faster.’ These are the guiding principles of Jurek, a reigning champion and beloved figure in the demanding and ever-expanding field of ultrarunning for over a decade.
In 1999, a then-unknown Jurek burst onto the scene, taking the lead in the Western States Endurance Run, a grueling 100-mile trek across the historical Gold Rush trails of America’s Sierra Nevada. He proceeded to claim victory in this race for seven consecutive years. Jurek was also amongst the elite few who journeyed to Mexico to run with the Tarahumara Indians, an adventure captured in the international bestselling book, Born to Run. His achievements are no less than awe-inspiring.
In his book, ‘Eat and Run’, Jurek candidly shares insights about his life and career as a top-tier athlete, and the crucial role his vegan diet plays in his astounding success. From his boyhood in the Midwest, filled with hunting and fishing, to his gradual evolution into an ultrarunner and vegan, and onto his record-breaking races, Jurek’s narrative underscores the power of unwavering determination and the significance of viewing food as fuel.
Enriched with tales of endurance and competition, as well as practical advice and some of his unique recipes, ‘Eat and Run’ will inspire readers to push their limits, whether that entails embarking on their first run, broadening their culinary experiences, or exploring the boundaries of human capability.
