Eat & Run: My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness
Scott Jurek
2012, 272 pages
Nonfiction
Have you ever dreamed of being the best in your field? If so, you may understand what drives Scott Jurek to be the best ultramarathoner in the world. And there is no question that he is the best. This book provides a great deal of insight into what makes him tick and how he manages to run 165 miles at a time (and set records) on a plant-based diet. He describes his childhood and how he loved to ski, which led to a running career. At times funny, thoughtful and painful, this book captures the ups and downs (including collapsing halfway through a race) of an inspiring athlete who pursues a grueling sport and more times than not wins his race.
