Eat And Run

My Unlikely Journey to Ultramarathon Greatness

De: Scott Jurek, Steve Friedman

Narrado por: Scott Jurek

The New York Times bestseller Eat and Run is ""the inspiring story of an inspired man. Scott Jurek's phenomenal success as an ultra-marathoner demonstrates that meat and other animal foods are not necessary for optimum health, strength, and endurance.""—Andrew Weil, #1 New York Times bestelling author of Spontaneous Happiness

For nearly two decades, Scott Jurek has been a dominant force — and darling — in the grueling and growing sport of ultrarunning. He held the American 24-hour record and he was one of the elite runners profiled in the runaway bestseller Born to Run. 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.

Second time reading this book.

Such a great athlete, all those accomplishments! If you are a runner, this book will motivate you to do more and to become a better athlete.

Excellent recipes and inspiration

I was hesitant to read this book since I know I will never be an ultra runner, but I am a runner and I loved every minute of it, and even bought tabs to mark just about every single recipe in this book! Absolutely loved it from cover to cover.

loved it

guys an animal and i enjoyed the book. i like hearing how much he loved the sport and losses he went through

Scott reads this book really well, you can really hear the passion coming out of him. he's always been my favorite runner and this book just cemented that.

Must Listen!!!

Wow! What a powerful story! Scott’s narration is beautiful. I absolutely loved this this. If anyone is interested in running, well-being, food, etc then this is a great listen anytime.

best book I've listened to thus far

absolutely love this book. brought so many emotions and I definitely recommend listening. will be looking for more like this

Enjoyable well paced read

An interesting enough auto-biography. The book is an interesting look into Scott's personal life and his accomplishments without it getting too off track.

It was good enough to hold my attention on my 45 min drives to and from work, and that's saying something; most of these types of books tend to fail to hold my attention for too long.

Must read for runners

I very much enjoyed this deep dive into Scott's mind, soul, and body. It may be repetitive for someone but it is perfectly aligned with what long-distance running is.

Sometimes you just do things

Inspiring, funny.. a great listen on my daily drives. Makes me eager to go run.

Enjoyable Listen

I really enjoyed this book, and I think it's great that Scott narrated the audio version. Great insight into his background, stories of triumph and achieving greatness, and maybe most powerfully stories of dealing with the obstacles life throws at everyone no matter who you are. I would highly recommend this to anyone, and I'm sure I'll listen again in the future while out running.
