Histoire
In Eat and Run, Scott Jurek opens up about his life and career - as an elite athlete and a vegan - and inspires runners at every level. From his Midwestern childhood hunting, fishing, and cooking for his meat-and-potatoes family, to his early beginnings in running (he hated it), to his slow transition to ultrarunning and veganism, to his world-spanning, record-breaking races, Scott's story shows the power of an iron will and blows apart all the stereotypes of what athletes should eat to fuel optimal performance.

Histoire
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.

Finding Ultra is Rich Roll's incredible but true account of achieving one of the most awe-inspiring midlife physical transformations ever. One evening in 2006, before turning 40, Rich experienced a chilling glimpse of his future. Nearly 50 pounds overweight at the time and unable to climb the stairs without stopping, he plunged into a new way of eating that made processed foods off-limits and prioritized plant nutrition and daily training. Rich morphed - in mere months - from out-of-shape midlifer to endurance machine. Revised and updated edition with a new and original foreword and a bonus chapter.

Aside from her rock star looks, Catra Corbett is a standout in the running world on her accomplishments alone. And, unbelievably, she's also a former meth addict. After two years of addiction, Catra is busted while selling, and a night in jail is enough to set her straight. She gives up drugs and moves back home with her mother, abandoning her friends, her boyfriend, and the lifestyle that she came to depend on. Her only clean friend pushes her to train for a 10K with him, and surprisingly, she likes it and decides to run her first marathon after that.

Description
Marathons are no longer impressive.
Pain is to be relished, not avoided.
Hallucinations are perfectly normal.
Ultra running defies conventional logic. Yet this most brutal and challenging sport is now one of the fastest growing in the world. But is it an antidote to modern life or a symptom of a modern illness?
Adharanand Finn travelled to the heart of the sport to find out - and to see if could become an ultra runner himself. His journey took him from the deserts of Oman to the snow-capped peaks of the Rockies, and from a 24-hour track race in Tooting to his ultimate goal, the 105-mile Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc.
The Rise of the Ultra Runners is the electrifying, inspirational account of what he learned along the way. Through encounters with the sport's many colourful characters and his experiences of its soaring highs and crushing lows, Finn offers an unforgettable insight into what can be found at the boundaries of human endeavour.

Hard to stay engaged
I listened to it while training for a marathon. I found the book helped me to downplay the training I was doing compared to that of what people go through running Ultras.
HOWEVER, the narrators voice is very monotone and sounds more like a sleep story you would hear on Calm.
Overall the book was "Ok".

A tall order succeeded
It’s probably very difficult to make a story about ultrarunning compelling. I don’t envy the author’s task. But he did as fine a job as I can imagine without aggrandizing and (I expect) making things up. It’s a good book, but ultrarunning is slow and by definition mildly uninteresting as a feat. The accomplishments are interesting, the act not so much. As someone who previously and until only recently hated running because of its boredom, I came to realize that the saving grace of long runs is the amazing feeling one achieves during that long run — a state where one’s mind begins to let go of the problems of this world. It’s something I can’t achieve to quite the same extent on a bicycle. I believe the author captured a lot of this, though my runs are currently quite short by comparison and I can only imagine what it must feel like to run very long distances. The author did his best to describe the good and the bad that comes with it, and I am interested in trying my hand at much longer runs now. I learned a lot through the stories, and feel slightly more prepared, though this book is by no means a manual. Very good given the height of the task.
