This is a powerful interview of Scott Jurek, Appalachian Trail Champion and his powerful mental mindset of pushing through Ultramarathons.
You'll hear how he pushed through in 46 days 84 Marathons!
Scott Jurek is an advocate of plant-based eating. Scott does this for health and environmental reasons. You'll hear him discuss how his diet is the key to his athletic performance and fast recoveries. He credits his mom, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when he was young, for his mental toughness.
Named one of the greatest runners of all time, Scott Jurek has become a living legend.
He has claimed victories in nearly all of ultrarunning’s elite trail and road events including the historic 153-mile Spartathlon, the Hardrock 100, the Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon, and—his signature race—the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which he won a record seven straight times. Scott has also taken the running world by storm with his 2015 Appalachian Trail speed record, averaging nearly 50 miles a day over 46 days—and the United States all-surface record in the 24-Hour Run with 165.7 miles: 6.5 marathons in one day.
Off the trail, Scott is a New York Times-bestselling author for his memoir, Eat & Run, has been prominently featured in countless publications, and is a star of the international bestseller, Born To Run.
More than just a champion, Scott is a true student and ambassador of the sport, known to stay at finish lines cheering until the last runner crosses. When not racing, he donates his time to many non profit organizations and is an avid volunteer in the areas of environmental conservation, fitness and health.
A passionate advocate for vegetarianism, he follows a 100% plant-based diet, which he credits for his endurance, recovery and consistent twenty year racing career. He believes that everyone can run an ultra and everyone can access their body’s innate capacity to heal. Through writing, public speaking, and consulting, Scott takes joy in encouraging people of all fitness levels to take the next step toward vibrant health.
Scott currently resides in Boulder, CO with his family.
