Eat and Run by Jared Tucker

by Monica Harper Creative Writer
My Most Likely Subscriber Chapter 1 is a review of Eat and Run by Scott Jurek. Eat and Run: My Subscriber Chapter 2 is an epilogue to Eat and Run: A tale of perseverance and the perils thereof. It was released by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in June of 2021. In this chapter, I have concluded the story of Eat and Run. I also reveal my methods for running in whatever terrain and at any pace I desire.

Although 먹튀검증 has been out of print for nearly two decades, it has been a growing sport of ultrarunning among elite athletes and fans throughout the United States and abroad. Scott Jurek is one of the most respected and popular names in the world of competitive running. Born in Southern California, where he was raised by his mother with the support of his father, Scott Jurek pursued a college scholarship at the University of Oregon, becoming the first American ever to do so. He completed his degree in psychology and then entered the world of competitive athletics, running both cross country and track and field, where he has remained active to this day.

Scott Jurek began participating in races after graduating and has won several National Athletic Association (NCAA) titles, as well as multiple national and international track and field events. He has held various US National Mountain Racing Teams and retired from competitive athletics in 2021. He has become, over the last few years, what is probably best known as the face of the Eat and Run movement. As a vegan, he refused to eat honey, eggs, or dairy products while undertaking any ultra-marathoning or ultramarathoning. He argues that this causes the body to produce cortisol, a stress hormone that can negatively impact performance.

During an appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show, he explained his reasons for this lifestyle choice. "The evidence is out there, I just don't need to see it," he said. "I know when I'm hungry, and I know when I'm not. There's nothing wrong with that, it's part of my personality."

This statement is in direct opposition to what many ultra-marathoners are doing today. Eat and run events, as they are often called, have become huge phenomena in the United States, with over 100 racers per event in the Badwater Ultramarathons in California alone. This level of participation by individual racers is very impressive. What's more impressive is that many of these runners are not only eating a meal of anything they want, they are eating one big meal per day. This means that they're going to be burning off calories and building muscle mass while they are running.

With so much emphasis on the importance of nutrition to a runner's performance, you would think that Eat and Run would be a great book. However, author Jared W. Tucker writes a very compelling, well-illustrated, and motivating read that addresses nutrition as a runner's best friend as well as his worst enemy. Eating and running are more than just about how much you eat; it's also about how you treat your body and what kind of mindset you have about running in the first place.

Tucker shows us what it takes to eat a healthy and active diet while at the same time preparing himself mentally and physically for a rigorous ultramarathon race. The book has received rave reviews from both readers and experts in the field. "I highly recommend this to any athlete who wants to better themselves," says longtime runner turned fitness expert John Barban. "It's the ultimate guide for any long distance runner." Eat and Run will definitely help you reach your goal of a healthy and muscular body.
