Description
Scott Jurek's remarkable journey to ultramarathon greatness is revealed in this candid and inspiring memoir. In 1999, the author, a complete unknown at the time, took the lead in the Western States Endurance Run, a 100-mile challenge over the Gold Rush trails of America's Sierra Nevada. He went on to win that race seven years in a row, cementing his reputation as one of the world's top endurance athletes. Jurek's success is closely tied to his vegan diet, which he credits with transforming his body and mind. In 'Eat & Run', he opens up about his life and career as an elite athlete, sharing the lessons he's learned along the way. From his early days as a runner to his experiences with the Tarahumara Indians, Jurek offers a unique and fascinating glimpse into the world of competitive endurance sports.
