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. North is the story of the 2,189-mile journey that nearly shattered him.
When he set out in the spring of 2015, Jurek anticipated punishing terrain, forbidding weather, and inevitable injuries. He would have to run nearly 50 miles a day, every day, for almost seven weeks. He knew he would be pushing himself to the limit, that comfort and rest would be in short supply -- but he couldn't have imagined the physical and emotional toll the trip would exact, nor the rewards it would offer.
With his wife, Jenny, friends, and the kindness of strangers supporting him, Jurek ran, hiked, and stumbled his way north, one white blaze at a time. A stunning narrative of perseverance and personal transformation, North is a portrait of a man stripped bare on the most demanding and transcendent effort of his life. It will inspire runners and non-runners alike to keep striving for their personal best.
Scott Jurek, one of the greatest runners of all time, has claimed multiple victories in the historic 153-mile Spartathlon, the Hardrock Hundred, the Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon, and the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which he won a record seven straight times, among many others. He has been named a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year and one of Sports Illustrated's Fittest 50. The New York Times bestselling author of Eat and Run and a main character in the book Born to Run, Jurek has been featured in the New York Times, CNN, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, TIME, and ESPN Magazine. A passionate vegan, he lives in the mountains of Boulder, Colorado with his wife, Jenny, and daughter, Raven.
非常贊的一本書,也可能因為看同類書籍太少所以少見多怪,但數次看得流淚滿麵(什麼時候纔能學會不要哭著嫉妒而是笑著羨慕呢?)。隻有喜歡在長耐力距離運動中淬煉自己的人纔能在書中找到共鳴吧。可惜的是,短期內我都不會想再去翻看這本書瞭。
評分讀過的最佳跑步故事類書籍,沒有之一,超過幾年前讀過的Scott的另一本好書“Eat and run”。born to run塑造的超馬網紅Scott Jurek的2189英裏AT紀錄挑戰,善良,溫和,素食主義者的治愈之旅,他和太太Jlu的struggle,他在曆經磨難中的思考總能觸及靈魂,Jlu的穿插敘述添加瞭很多趣味,使整個故事更完整。超馬讓人深入心靈深處,進入禪定,還是像最後讓人停止思考變傻。

評分談論跑步的話題可以讓人一下子親近起來。Ultra-running更是凝聚力強,就像是一個cult,跑起來都是競爭對手,跑完後都是朋友/大傢庭的成員。就像Jurek說的,計劃中隻是兩個人的尋覓之旅,結果成瞭好友傾力相助/陌生人不吝熱情、Jurek與隔著屏幕的追隨者都倍受激勵的旅程。其中反反復復的起伏、跌到低榖、一步步掙紮著以為可以變得更好然而並沒有的幾近放棄的絕望,真正感同身受。
