Scott Jurek is a living legend and one of the greatest runners of all time. In his days, he was victorious in nearly all of ultrarunning’s elite trail and road events, and has dominated the sport for nearly two decades!

Scott Jurek once averaged nearly 50 miles a day over 46 days—and the U.S. all-road record of 165.7 miles in a 24-hour run, which is the equivalent of running 6.5 marathons in a day. His most famous race is the Western States 100 Mile Enduro, where he won the championship for seven years in a row. Aside from the Hardrock 100, he has also completed the Spartan Marathon and the Badwater 135-mile ultramarathons.

Why not study and learn about Scott Jurek’s running experience as well as his diet? Specify a scientific running plan for your running training and win your own race medal.

In his book Eat & Run, he reveals all. He lets us in on his pre-vegan life, his transition into veganism and ultrarunning, as well as what it took in order to achieve that level of greatness. And as a bonus, he shares some amazing recipes from his personal vegan archive.
