Summary of Scott Jurek & Steve Friedman's Eat And Run

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 I am an ultramarathoner, and I have competed in races longer than the marathon distance of 26. 2 miles. But I had been eating only plant-based foods for seven years, and I had underestimated the race itself.

#2 Ultrarunning requires extreme confidence and intense humility. To be a champion, you must believe you can defeat your competitors, but you must also understand that winning requires total commitment and a lack of wavering focus might lead to defeat or worse.

#3 Ultrarunners take off at sunrise and continue through sunset, moonrise, and another sunrise, sunset, and moonrise. They run with bruised bones and scraped skin, and they never stop to rest.

#4 I had done it before, and I could do it again. At another time, on another summer night, in another race, I might have gazed in wonder at the stars glittering against the velvety black night. I might have moved toward the mountains’ dark, disapproving bulk until it had transformed to welcome.
