"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 (217 kilometers) twice, and the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run seven consecutive times. The fact that he achieved all this while following a vegetarian diet makes his story unique, showcasing the power of his iron will and shattering stereotypes about what athletes need to eat for optimal performance.
In "Eat and Run," Jurek shares stories from his life and career, along with practical advice and his vegan recipes. From his childhood, when he hunted and cooked for his meat-loving family, to his gradual transition to ultrarunning (he hated running), his encounter with the Tarahumara and vegetarianism, 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.

"Everyone can become an ultramarathoner. No matter how far you go, the race of each day is a journey of discovery and an opportunity to explore what you can achieve in sports and in life."
