2, 200 miles. 47 days. One remarkable athlete. Scott Jurek takes on the Appalachian Trail. Scott Jurek is one of the greatest ultramarathon runners of all time & a living legend. 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. Battered by the elements & nearly beaten by an agonising injury, he ran, hiked & stumbled for forty-six days, eleven hours & twenty minutes, covering nearly fifty miles every single day. Always unsure whether he was going to make it to the finish, he was pulled north in pursuit of a lifelong dream. Filled with Jurek’s unique insights into running, as well as compelling descriptions of the awe-inspiring landscape of the Appalachian Trail & its rich history, North will delight runners & non-runners alike & will inspire anyone striving for their personal best.‘ Probably America’s greatest ever ultrarunner.’ Guardian ...
