North tells the story of his biggest challenge, undertaken at the end of a career full of glittering achievements: breaking the speed record for the Appalachian Trail, the famous path that runs for nearly 2, 200 miles between Georgia & Maine, almost the entire length of the United States. An ordeal of torturous physical exertion, debilitating sleep deprivation & unimaginable psychological pressure, the run required Jurek to reinvent himself at an age when lesser athletes would have been winding down.
