Hey Friends,

We’re truly thrilled to share this conversation with you all! We sat down with the living legend Scott Jurek! Our podcast was recorded as part of the planted expo weekend here in Vancouver, and prior to recording Scott had led an ultra fun run, posed for pics, chatted with fans, and delivered a keynote speech as part of the expo, and like a true endurance athlete, went the distance with us in this conversation.

We covered his journey into running, some of his favourite and memorable moments on the run, chatted about his time in the Copper Canyons, and found out some of his favourite things to eat! Scott was a lot of fun to chat with, and we are so grateful to him for being with us!

If Scott is unfamiliar to any of you here are a few things to know, he has been named one of the greatest runners of all time, Scott Jurek has claimed victories in nearly all of ultrarunning’s elite trail and road events including the historic 153-mile Spartathlon, the Hardrock 100, the Badwater 135-Mile Ultramarathon, and—his signature race—the Western States 100-Mile Endurance Run, which he won a record seven straight times. Scott has also taken the running world by storm with his 2015 Appalachian Trail speed record, averaging nearly 50 miles a day over 46 days—and the United States all-surface record in the 24-Hour Run with 165.7 miles: 6.5 marathons in one day. 

He is a bestselling author of "Eat and Run", as well as his new book "North" and has been featured in the epic story "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall. Scott is also a champion of the vegan diet, and has proven time and time again that this diet nourishes if the most hardcore of endurance athletes!

We KNOW you're going to enjoy this one!

Happy trails,

Z&D
