![]() ![]() ![]() The memoir takes you through Scott’s tough early upbringing in Minnesota, his difficult relationship with his dad and his love for his MS-suffering mum. Part memoir, part race report, part training guide, part recipe book – “Eat and Run” is a curious mix, but an enjoyable tour through Jurek’s life nevertheless. Having become famous off the back of “Born to Run”, Scott has clearly been encouraged to cash in on his fame. And all this while living on a strict vegan diet. This is a man who can unleash 7-minute mile-ing at the 90-mile mark of a race. Jurek is one of the greatest ultramarathon runners of all time, having won umpteen races of 100miles+, including the suicidal-sounding Death Valley Badwater Ultramarathon (135 miles in temperatures of 40 degrees plus?!) and the Spartathlon in Greece (152 miles). It won’t take a reader of this book long to realise that Scott Jurek is not a normal person. ![]()
