StaufenRunning Book Club! “Eat and Run” by Scott Jurek

The cloud of being a bit laid out this weekend (thanks hayfever!) did have a silver lining, in that I got a chance to finish up Scott Jurek’s excellent running memoir/mission statement/recipe book “Eat and Run”. For those who don’t know Jurek is kind of a big deal in the UltraMarathon circuit, not only for winning all sorts of completely insane races over and over again, but also for doing 99% of it as a vegan. “Eat and Run” is as much about that lifestyle choice as it is about running, with Jurek not only espousing the health benefits and moral implications of his lifestyle, but even going so far as to include a ton of runner-specific vegan recipes throughout the book, some of which he created himself!

StaufenRunning Book Club!

Hey guys, just thought I’d set aside some time to talk about some running books I’ve read that I think are really helpful for any burgeoning runner, either from a technical perspective, or even just plain ol’ inspiration. For this first installment, I thought I’d go with the book I’m reading now: 50/50: Secrets I Learned Running 50 Marathons in 50 Days , by Ultramarathon poster boy Dean Karnazes.
