From the author of the bestseller Eat and Run, a thrilling memoir about his grueling, exhilarating, and immensely inspiring 46-day run to break the speed record for the Appalachian Trail. Scott Jurek is one of the world's best known and most beloved ultrarunners. Renowned for his remarkable endurance and speed, accomplished on a vegan diet, he's finished first in nearly all of ultrarunning's elite events over the course of his career. But after two decades of racing, training, speaking, and touring, Jurek felt an urgent need to discover something new about himself. He embarked on a wholly unique challenge, one that would force him to grow as a person and as an athlete: breaking the speed record for the Appalachian Trail. North is the story of the 2,189-mile journey that nearly shattered him. When he set out in the spring of 2015, Jurek anticipated punishing terrain, forbidding weather, and inevitable injuries. He would have to run nearly 50 miles a day, every day, for almost seven weeks. He knew he would be pushing himself to the limit, that comfort and rest would be in short supply -- but he couldn't have imagined the physical and emotional toll the trip would exact, nor the rewards it would offer. With his wife, Jenny, friends, and the kindness of strangers supporting him, Jurek ran, hiked, and stumbled his way north, one white blaze at a time. A stunning narrative of perseverance and personal transformation, North is a portrait of a man stripped bare on the most demanding and transcendent effort of his life. It will inspire runners and non-runners alike to keep striving for their personal best.

“In pursuing the mental side of endurance, Jurek uncovers the most important secrets any runner can learn.”—Amby Burfoot, author of The Runner’s Guide to the Meaning of Life For nearly two decades, Scott Jurek has been a dominant force—and darling—in the grueling and growing sport of ultrarunning.

In Eat and Run, Jurek opens up about his life and career as a champion athlete with a plant-based diet and inspires runners at every level. From his Midwestern childhood hunting, fishing, and cooking for his meat-and-potatoes family to his slow transition to ultrarunning and veganism, Scott’s story shows the power of an iron will and blows apart the stereotypes of what athletes should eat to fuel optimal performance. Full of stories of competition as well as science and practical advice—including his own recipes—Eat and Run will motivate readers and expand their food horizons. “Jurek’s story and ideas should easily manage to speak to and cheer on anyone seeking to live life as fully as possible.”—Denver Post “A shockingly honest, revealing, and inspiring memoir.”—Trail Runner

He won that race seven years in a row, setting a course record along the way. Twice he won the Badwater Ultramarathon, a 135-mile jaunt through Death Valley. He triumphed in the 153-mile Spartathlon in Greece three times. And he was one of the elite runners who traveled to Mexico to run with the Tarahumara Indians, as profiled in the runaway bestseller Born to Run. His accomplishments are nothing short of extraordinary, but that he has achieved all of this on a plant-based diet makes his story all the more so.In Eat and Run, Scott Jurek opens up about his life and careeras an elite athlete and a veganand inspires runners at every level.

La inspiradora historia de uno de los mejores corredores de todos los tiempos 
Durante casi dos décadas, Scott Jurek ha sido una de las figuras dominantes y más queridas en el extenuante y cada vez más popular deporte de la ultracarrera. Desde que en 1999, siendo un completo desconocido, liderara la carrera de resistencia de los estados del oeste de Estados Unidos, sus logros le han situado en la élite de los corredores: ganó esa carrera durante siete años consecutivos y consiguió marcar el mejor tiempo, logró en dos ocasiones la victoria en el ultramaratón de Badwater (un «paseo» de casi 220 km por el valle de la Muerte) y recientemente ha establecido un nuevo récord americano al recorrer 270 km en 24 horas (seis maratones y medio en un solo día). 
En Correr, comer, vivir, Scott Jurek habla sobre su vida y su carrera y sirve de inspiración a corredores de todos los niveles. Desde su infancia en el Medio Oeste americano, sus comienzos en el deporte (lo odiaba) hasta la lenta transición hacia el veganismo, pasando por sus carreras, que han roto todos los récords, la historia de Scott es la de una persona con una voluntad de hierro y que pone en entredicho muchos de los estereotipos sobre los atletas. 
Repleto de increíbles historias de resistencia y competición, fascinantes datos científicos y consejos prácticos y accesibles, incluyendo sus recetas favoritas, Correr, comer, vivir te motivará a ir «más allá», te descubrirá cómo preparar tu primera carrera, ampliará los horizontes de tu alimentación y te animará a explorar los límites de tu propio potencial.
