"Triumph! A man and a story like no other".
Christopher McDougall, author of Born to Run

For two decades, Scott Jurek has been an iconic figure in the grueling sport of ultrarunning, having won the Spartathlon three times, the Badwater Ultramarathon twice (217 kilometers), and the Western States Endurance Run seven times in a row. The fact that he achieved all this while following a vegan diet makes his story unique, showcasing the power of his iron will and debunking the stereotypes of what athletes should eat for optimal performance.
In "Eat and Run," Jurek shares stories from his life and career, while also providing practical advice and his vegan recipes. From his childhood, when he hunted and cooked for his meat-loving family, to his reluctant transition to ultrarunning (he hated running), his encounter with the Tarahumara people, and his embrace of veganism, Scott Jurek is a source of inspiration, whether you're running for the first time, looking to expand your dietary horizons, or simply exploring your limits.

"Anyone can become an ultrarunner. Regardless of how far you'll go, the daily race is a journey of discovery and an opportunity to explore what you can achieve in sports and in life".
