Interview with Scott Jurek

Scott Jurek won the prestigious Western States 100 Miler 7 times in a row. He’s also won the Hardrock 100, the Badwater 135 and the 153 mile Spartathalon. He’s the best selling author of the book Eat and Run.

The Appalachian Trail is abbreviated AT and is a hiking trail in the Eastern United States from Georgia to Maine. It passes through 14 states (Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.)

Scott was crewed by his wife and co-author Jenny Jurek. The book makes for great reading and doesn’t not hold back on the pain and low spots in this epic journey. You will discover the words of advice that gave Scott a much needed boost of energy, interesting friends and strangers that met him on the trail, and the rugged beauty of the world’s longest hiking-only footpath.
